    Don't know if you're trolling right now or not.
    However, getting a mass of people to give you money for no reason other than blind faith is very Hitlerish.

    how is that in any way, shape, or form, like hitler?

    just because people are tossing around hitler/trump comparisons, you can't just throw one back that makes absolutely zero sense.

    Of course he can, and regularly does. Just find the amusement value in it, HFD. As for myself, that post got me wondering if in fact Hitler did have masses of people giving him money, which led to me googling topics like "Hitler fundraising" and "Nazi philanthropy". Just typing it made me laugh*. Since hewillneverleave, might as well laugh at it.

    Peoples hard earned money going to her pipe dream does damage.

    They are donating their money for a specific thing. They know what is being done with the money, and know that results are not guaranteed. Her pipe dream is their pipe dream. It damages nobody.

    Yeah, I think people who are suspected of a crime should be thrown to the lions before they are convicted.  Why not?  Saves a lot of time and money and, besides, it's so much fun watching them scream and bleed.

    Sure, or we could pretend to be civilized and wait for a verdict.

    l will say this, if Stein is proven beyond doubt to be guilty, I will not defend her.   I hope she is not guilty but these days, who knows? We live in such an absurd world, nothing surprises me anymore.  Welcome to "The King of Hearts" World, 2017/2018 version.

    I'm getting to the point where I don't trust any politicians any more.  Sad, sad, sad. :frowning:

    the green party needs a new face.  even without the shady russian stuff... stein failed miserably in 2016.  the movement regressed, and that was with a poor candidate vs a reality show troll.  the party hit its ceiling with stein at the front of it.

    i had to turn off notifications from her facebook.  way too frequent, pointless, and annoying.

    well, i have a pretty good track record with that actually.  Very Trumpian thing to say....
    probably had too much wine last night, but my gut tells me humanity will be facing a completely different set of dilemmas in that time.  Collusion with "foreign" governments will likely be a laughable and petty blip in ancient history.

    Yes, one in particular- California Senator Alan Cranston.  Cranston was on the forefront of creating federally protected wild lands and open spaces.  In my 30's, I wrote him a letter outlining my concerns and hopes.  He replied with a full, two-page single-spaced typed letter responding to all my my concerns (I still have that letter).  This was a personalized letter, not a form letter.  I would be hard-pressed today to find someone at the level in office who shows as concern and interest in his or her constituents as Senator Cranston did.  And we are in a time when this kind of leadership is needed more than ever!

    Another one:  Tom Hayden who served in the CA State Assembly from 1982 to 1992 and State Senate from 1992 to 2000.  I met Mr. Hayden twice and was impressed by his active concern.  The second time I met him was just a few years ago.  He was in the CA capitol building in a wheel chair, still working hard to make a difference when he could have been on the beach sipping on a cold beverage.  Quite a gentleman and a hard working, honest politician.

    Jill Stein's FB post today:

    Welcome to the Fireside Chat! Tonight we’re talking about the Russia investigation and how we can defend our democracy from the bipartisan crackdown on our Constitutional rights.
    The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has requested documents from our campaign relevant to their investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. At least that’s what they told us. But when they talked to the press, the charge had escalated to investigating our campaign for “collusion with the Russians”.
    We are cooperating with the committee, but we weren’t born yesterday. While interference in our elections is something we take seriously, sensationalism, politicizing and ulterior motives tarnish the process and pose a serious threat. The investigation must not be allowed to become a tool for intimidating and silencing political opposition to the two corporate political parties.
    This investigation - which Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald likened to the dark days of McCarthyism - is happening in the context of a bipartisan campaign to control information, criminalize dissent, and silence principled opposition to the political establishment. Join the conversation!

    OK, let's put the lions back in their cages for now (better yet, let them loose on the Serengeti) and wait to see how this shakes out.

  • So is Jill Stein parroting the Kremlin or Trump in her comments playing down meddling?
    And If there is a difference between the 2 surely the doctor will know?
  • brianluxbrianlux Posts: 42,030
    All of this is more distraction from the fact that neither major party has their shit together.  I don't hold out much hope at this point for a good future presidency unless by some miracle someone like Elizabeth Warren runs and wins (not likely).
