We read The Lottery in high school. My school had a really great program that combined language/literature and social studies (civics/history) classes. Teachers were partnered at each grade level and developed parallel syllabi. Classes were paired in blocks so we could periodically have combined 2-hour sessions for…

If men could menstruate, they’d brag about how bloody their periods were and equate masculinity with a heavy flow. If men could menstruate, they’d use it as a reason to ban women from being in combat because only men would know what it’s like like to bleed and suffer.

oh please. the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior. It is documented that Trumps use their own charity donations to pay themselves.

Trump is not an outsider; power brokers are not scared to death. Any comment operating under this false pretense is outright.

I think Putin knew he didn’t have to actually “rig” the election. He bet on the stupidity and the apathy of the American people, which is a safe fucking bet.

Yeah, this is an especially stupid troll. Let him rant into the void.

And the casual way you Republicans are more than ok with a foreign government interfering in our election because your guy won is more than alarming. If it was Clinton Russia was helping you and your Republican friends would be reacting just a little differently.

NPR reported that the suspicion is that not only did Vlad know beforehand (was involved personally) but so was the Donald.

You indicate that Crimea is nearly 70% Russian, and that the referendum passed at 96%. And yet you downplay the possibility of Russian influence. Are we to believe that non-Russians either didn’t vote, or that 5 out of 6 (ratio needed if both group voted proportionally) voted to leave the Ukraine? Russia most…

I see, so starting shit with China is a-ok, but definitely not with our BFF Putin who only has our best interests at heart.

Exactly this. Not to mention he openly asked Russian agents to hack into HRC’s emails and that would be “rewarded mightily” for doing so. Fact of the matter is Donald Trump is committing treason. With every appointee he is giving aid and comfort to Russia; he is dismantling the US government from the top down. TRAITOR…

Hilariously, that was a referendum rife with claims of Russian intervention into the process and influencing the outcomes... hilarious, only because of the content of the article we are currently commenting on. 

Because being friends with Russia means supporting their encroachment into and invasion of sovereign Eastern European nations, and that’s been America’s antithesis since the early 20th century.

You can be diplomatic with a country while still being extremely alarmed at their interfering with a US election, not to mention their backing of the Assad regime and intrusion into Ukraine

The rich irony of the Left being called commies, pinkos, Russian agents for decades while the Right is now their catnip of choice. I’m sincerely curious how they managed to create such a lackadaisical blindspot that the mere potential of Russian involvement gets a ‘meh, whatever, get over it’ from their end. Like…

I’ve been saying this repeatedly. This election was already stolen. A decent man would concede based on his lack of qualifications and losing the popular vote by 2.6 million. But Trump is a fascist.

Then there was also that weirdness with that server Trump had that communicated with a Russian bank. I think it was eventually found to just be for mass marketing, but maybe not?

I think all of this is incredibly simple.

It doesn’t help the GOP cause that Trump is in the middle of promoting the most pro Russia cabinet the US has seen in its entire history

Show me one person who loves Mick Jagger for having a baby at his age. He’s a great-grandfather ffs!
