2016 will never die.

Gawd how I love RussiaGate. It's so perfect. They prevented HillKween from Slaying. They are responsible for all the online disinformation! They stole my pants. Goddamn Putin
- They stole my pants. Goddamn Putin
  Carefully ya gotta check every inch of your room for Putin. He could be anywhere. Don't forget the sock drawer.
- Putinite agents carefully added moisture to my dryer through a hidden tube so my socks always come out slightly wet
- Putin is hiding under my bed and now I'm afraid to sleep

maddow spent like 20 minutes rehashing the 2016 russian interference narrative and said nothing about the pied piper strategy, clinton not campaigning in wisconsin, nor last month's statement from putin about preferring biden to trump in the present.
i guess liberals can remember history more than a week if it's more convenient than what's actually happening.
- last month's statement from putin about preferring biden to trump in the present
  Putin is really stupid but also playing international 4D chess
- last month's statement from putin about preferring biden to trump in the present
  Really? Trump being elected would be a final blow for Ukraine.
  
  President Vladimir Putin said that Russia would prefer to see U.S. President Joe Biden win a second term, describing him as more experienced and predictable than Donald Trump — even though Moscow strongly disagrees with the current administration’s policies.
  Putin’s comments during an interview with Russian state television Wednesday were his first about the upcoming U.S. presidential election, likely to pit Biden against Trump. They were rare praise for Biden, a fierce critic of the Russian leader who has frequently lauded Trump.
  “Biden, he’s more experienced, more predictable, he’s a politician of the old formation,” Putin said, when asked which candidate would be better for Russia. “But we will work with any U.S. leader whom the American people trust.”

So the Russians can hack our elections while losing a war against the mighty Ukraine? Impressive.
- Bit idea- liberal who says "they haven't even seen paved roads, but they know how to hack? Unlikely"
  
  They were hacking the election using chips from stolen Ukrainian washing machines
- If a couple of 100.000 dollars' worth of Facebook ads can change the outcome of your election, then maybe that says a lot more about your political system than it does about the guys allegedly paying for the ads.
- some say they recruited convicts from death row to hack the United States

It really is wild that dems want to constantly rehash 2016 considering, ya know, they blew the easiest election in a century in plain view of everybody.
And the lesson the dems took from that was to double down on everything that made her lose.
- The Clintonian dynasty and their stans will never self-crit. They’ll blame anything & everything but themselves for 2016.
  
  It truly was the beginning of "the democratic party cannot fail, it can only be failed" being the unironic party line
- Biden winning 2020 pretty much ossified the conviction in the minds of liberals that they were right all along and 2016 was a "fluke/Russian hack/left-wing failure...etc"
  Completely ignoring of course the fact it was covid that tanked Trump, not Biden
- But it was her turn...

In other news - libs love milking Trump's "bloodbath" soundbite. They can't seem to understand that betting worked up and frothing at the mouth about a one-word Trumpism is giving Trump yet more free media and making him live even more rent free in their heads.
- People making way more money than me having way less understanding of the zeitgeist. Good times

RussiaGate is still an endless game of whack-a-mole on lemmml. I don’t even want to know what goes on at world or

Chris Hedges: Why Russiagate Won’t Go Away
- America: elects a fascist kleptocrat
  America: This is because somebody else.
  Like, goddamn, Trump is the most American American to ever America. He is the indictment of how shitty this country can be. He's the low brow nouveau riche piece of shit this country produces. Tacky, gross, unpleasant, angry old white man. We mint motherfuckers like that. It's our goddamned national product.

Wait a fucking minute, is that Jen Psaki? Biden's press secretary for like 2-3 years, lied all the time to cover for him? I sure bet we can rely on her to be unbiased.
- She went back to brunch so hard too. Biden got elected, and after she ran enough interference for him, she quit and got a job as a pundit on a 24 hour news channel
- Corporate news & punditry is nakedly
  communication.

The funniest thing about Russiagate is that they couldn't come up with anything beyond, "the Russians are sowing discord by posting online about America". Not even hackers changing numbers or paying politicians off in a lobby group, just saying bad things to change people's mind in an election year. And liberals eat it up.
- Russiagate is such a hot button topic for them too. They don't seem to ever ruminate the specific details of the "significant" role American intel agencies said Russia played in the election. And they ignore how that "significant" role becomes so minor with adequate context. I like to remind them that CNN gave Trump something like a billion dollars in free media in the 2016 campaign. And every media outlet was feeding on the "Trump news" trough to grab eyeballs, sell ads, etc.
  
  Russia's greatest crime in 2016 dwarfs the billion dollars of free media for Trump
  
  Then of course they say it’s okay when the US does the same to Russia, China, Cuba and every bad country US doesn’t like
- They claimed Russia hacked Hilary's emails but that turned out to be a lie.
  
  They claimed Russia was behind Wikileaks as well. Of course libs ate that up without question.
- Voting is still an essential tool of the bourgeois so they pretty much can’t say someone actually changed the outcome of the election otherwise elections themselves would be unnecessary.
- seems like they are losing in the marketplace of ideas

I swear to God there is almost nobody i want to yell "go away" at more than Hillary Clinton.
I mean, Kissinger is dead, so now Hilldawg is in the top spot.
- "go away"
  Me too.
  Lin-Manuel Miranda is really dropping the football by not already having a 2016-themed musical called Hillary. Libs cannot get enough of her. More than anything else in the world - they want to her to win in 2016. And they'll never fully accept she didn't do it. These could be the lyrics to the lead song...
  What if... (Oh, yes?)
  What if... (Say more.)
  What if... (Do tell!)
  Hillary won! (Eff yeah!)
  "Eff yeah" in matinees because children are more likely to be present but the full monty "Fuck yeah!" in evening performances. The Hillary merch shop instantly sells out of the two versions of the t-shirt every time they restock. And there's a bit of a scandal when LMM Productions starts aggressively suing even the tiniest stores (Esty, etc) for selling "Eff yeah"/"Fuck yeah!" t-shirts with the text in a font similar to the venerable HillaryFont™.
  
  Please step away from the lathe.

They start election interference season earlier every year 😒
- The media was absolutely desperate to try to make the primaries a horse race so now that they finally had to admit what everybody knew 8 months ago, that it was gonna be Biden Trump, they've gotta come up with sonething else and the Russian interfearance shit had every lib in the country learning the names of third string state department ghouls.

Putin literally shit in my pants. Again.
- I wasn't going to let him mark his territory unchallenged, so I shat a little more on top of that.

I swear I’m going to be perpetually stuck some time between 2016 and 2020 (inclusive). Not just because of elections, but they sure don’t help.
How the fuck has it been >3 years since 2020?

Automaton's election interference has already begun

Minecraft looking ass ballot box
- There's no lid, how do they open it....
  
  They don’t. These days they use vibe spectography to measure the relative amplitudes of the Putler and Democracy peaks and extrapolate from there

Due to an unusually late and strong El Niño effect this year, Russian election interference season has started the earliest on record since 1976!

Well, nevertheless

If we never got rid of smoking as a cultural instution we would be thinner and hotter and all these boomers would be dead from making deals in smoke filled rooms by now. Lung cancer would be a fair trade to end their reign
- What is with this site and smoking?
  
  Cigarettes are funny.
  For those of us that are millennial it represented the peak of genX culture and we saw huge government programs to eradicate the vice so that cooked our brains. Now zoomers vape. It is funny
  
  it makes you look hot as fuck
  awful habit though

Are the putins in the room with us cnbc?

I saw on CNN a Chiron that said Trump was working to try to make dem voters antisemitic in order to distance them from Biden.

Surely this also ties back to the Russians, and not Biden's policies being unpopular.
- I saw on CNN...
  That certainly sounds like American media "logic".
  
  It's on the gym TV sometimes and it's really distracting, but I usually get a few "death to Israel" 's out so that feels nice.

Comrade Putin has deployed the mind control drones, Americans everywhere will soon be under the sway of the Russian Federation!

I felt less insecure about my lack of a college degree when Ivy League educated libs that I knew were spouting Russiagate bullshit and how Bernie Bros cost the election.
