she has no Russian baggage.
Really?
Why is a diplomat sitting next to someone a Russian connection? It's literally their job to try and get along.
Stein is a doctor not a diplomat, you bag of hair.
Must suck to get your paychecks in rubles
Fuck off. Useless piece of shit.
Isn't this how you communicate?
It doesn't matter what they are. It's a picture. Get more than two people standing next to each other or you are too stupid to listen to. Convincing people takes intelligence. Not name calling.
You're right about that person's demeanor. But you are wrong about this picture. It's not that easy to be seated at a table with putin.
I'm not saying it's easy or hard. I'm saying that it takes more than a picture to prove conjecture.
It was also a gala for the 10th anniversary of RT, and Micheal Flynn was at the table. Getting there yet?
No. It's just a picture.
It's a picture that you choose to ignore the context of.
I'm not ignoring it. I'm just not saying it's substantial. It's not a connection as solid as a bank statement. Or something that is actual proof of working together more than sharing a table
She could be acting in the role of a useful idiot. That is true.
Okay, a sealioning bag of hair that isn't even clever.
You kiss your dad with that mouth?
Earnestness is wasted on someone pushing a bad faith a narrative as you are. You're just here to be an edgy contrarian for whatever junk motivations you might have. Disrespect is a 2 way street
I stand by my assertion that you're not only a bag of hair but also a saucer of wet mice
Oh. Cool. Dumb ass.
really.
that picture is decontextualized propaganda.
Well I guess if that's what you say, we have to believe you.
The funny thing about baggage in politics is that it needn't be based on truth or an actually immoral act. Plenty of politicians lose votes and races because they did something that prudes consider scandalous, but younger people don't care about. A ton of the reasons for people disliking politicians are either based on lies, or something that's unimportant.
I hear so many lies or half truths about politicians I don't like either, but still vote for because they're the best option. It's like people purity test by telling a lie when they don't need to in order to make their point. They then accuse the person who points out their lies of holding a position they do not hold. I don't like lying, even about people I hate. I want to dislike people for good reasons, and wish others did as well.
