subs, at this point someone should steer you away from the ‘nog. It has alcohol in it, and it seems to be having an effect on you.

Aha, you still believe in Santa.

But, hey - maybe Santa will bring you a Lock Her Up bumper sticker. It’ll look good on your wagon.

Earlier this week, The New York Times reported that a group of “Democratic tech experts” used Russian-style disinformation tactics during Alabama’s 2017 special election in an attempt to splinter support for Republican candidate Roy Moore. Now, The Washington Post reports that Facebook has suspended accounts used by five people involved in the project.
...
The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner (D-Va.), had extensive contact with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch to help connect with the author of the anti-Trump "dossier." Warner reportedly texted at the time that he didn't wish to "leave a paper trail." Warner allegedly waited six months before disclosing the contacts to the committee, which is investigating Russia matters.
...

A Washington lobbying/consulting firm, the Podesta Group, founded by Obama adviser and Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and his brother, lobbied for Russia's largest bank, owned by the government (or, as you like, President Putin). John's brother, Tony, also lobbied for Ukrainian interests (reportedly in partnership with Trump associates Manafort and Gates)
...
Former Sens. John Breaux (D-La.) and Trent Lott (R-Miss.) lobbied for Russia's banking giant, Gazprombank, owned by Putin's government.

The lead Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), engaged with a Russian caller posing as a Ukrainian contact offering Russian blackmail material against President Trump. Afterward, Schiff made arrangements for his staff to try to collect the material. It turns out the caller was a Russian radio-host spoofer.
...
Obama administration lobbied for repeal of the Jackson-Vanik amendment.
...
Obama administration lobbied against Magnitsky.
...
Obama abandoned missile defense installations in Poland and the Czech Republic that same year—announcing the decision on the anniversary of the Soviet Union’s invasion of Poland.
...
Obama literally spent 8 years being Putin's lapdog.
...
Obama ridicules Romeny over Russia
...
Just imagine if Trump had the hot mic incident over being "more flexible" (your little head would turn inside out).


Now you guys that swore Trump was on the brink of starting a nuclear war are likewise upset that Trump withdrew from a war in Syria.
24 months of pathetic whining since your candidate blew an election to epic embarrassment proportions.

Lol. Russian-style. And you open with this... and about Roy Moore. : D

Pretty sure that Moore did himself in, but - please - keep the gift of Christmas humor coming our way. You must have been up all night packaging that one. Too bad that there's nothing in the box.

Will you be applying for the position of Hanging Chad Ignorer? The best way to ignore those chads is with a distraction. Perhaps you could get some English to Russian translation software and see if you could find any missing nuances that failed to show up in some of Trump's Facebook ads.

Those Alabamskis need nothing more than several bottles of vodka to forget about Comrade Humbert Moore.
