    I don’t think it bodes well she sat with Putin at a conference, whether there was “language barriers” or not.

      Oh come on, she had another American there to make sure nothing fishy was going on. The always beyond reproach Michael Flynn.

        I honestly can’t recall if it was some sort of geopolitical analysis in the comments or actual news anymore, but years ago I read that climate change and the collapse of the North Atlantic Current would eventually open up vast areas of Siberia to mining/drilling, improve farming conditions in Russia, harm farming, solar, and wind in Western Europe, while dropping the temps in Western Europe. It would also raise temps in the eastern/southern U.S. and make hurricanes more dangerous and economically damaging along the entire Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
        What I read concluded that climate change would be a major boon to Russia and any sensible leader there would want to facilitate it.

          True. Unfortunately, there will be no way to hit the brakes on climate change once it has progressed to the point of a green Siberia.

      Flynn pisses me off so much, it amazes me you can spend your entire career serving your country in mostly a leadership role and still end up a traitor.

      The fact that the only responses to this picture have always been whataboutisms is very telling. When ranked-choice voting comes, and I think it will, my first choice vote is gonna go to a leftist party with real principles.

      So what if they we were at the same dinner? I’ve had dinner with my enemies too. It seems like a lot of you are imagining much greater nefarious activity than you have any real evidence for, or I am missing something?

        >Third-party fringe candidate who gets less than 1% of the vote having dinner with Putin, Trump’s national security advisor who was later arrested for lying to the FBI about his ties to Russia, and several major Russian political figures before an election in which Russian interference provably helped Trump win.

        >The US president acting in an official capacity and meeting with the leader of a major world power.

        “They’re the same picture.”

        Boy, Russian bots Jill Stein stans are really tripping over each other to see who’s the biggest, dumbest idiot, aren’t they?

          Willie Wimmer is spouting some pro invasionist nationalistic bs on all the fringe media since he left Bundestag.

          So we have a fine assortment of people here.

            Yeah, interesting that the supposedly left-leaning Stein sits next to an openly right-wing nationalist conspiracy nutjob whose last book title was:

            Der Putsch des Establishments gegen Donald Trump

            The establishment coup against Donald Trump

          • Third-party fringe candidate who gets less than 1% of the vote

          • President of the United States, who got over 51% of the vote

          God damn, who is going to have more influence over national policy I wonder?

          Jill Stein stans are really tripping over each other

          The SCOTUS recently decided a president can’t be held liable for acts committed in official capacity as a means of shielding the Cheeto-in-Chief from any and all criminal liabilities. It appears some folks on Lemmy are piling on board with this reasoning, so long as they can use it to shield Genocide Joe. A democrat could shoot a man on fifth avenue in broad daylight, and you’d see people on here defend it.

                Got caught spewing incomparable pictures and childish responses?

                Are Jill Stein and Tankies the same? Just asking questions…

                  Fascist speak strikes again. Lemmy’s really taken a downturn since the last Reddit exodus.

                    You make no sense. The phrase has no connection nor intent in alliance with fascism. You showcase exactly what people are trying to point out and yet again, your only come back is a childish remark about some reddit exodus and in doing so trying to place yourself above others. Your message, if you have one that is, is lost due to your superiority complex.

                    Quick, someone said “irony” and nobody knows what that is! I’ll vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary as if they were wrong, and therefore I won the debate.

                I would need a source on that, my search shows blank.

                It doesn’t matter though, since it’s still ironic that you say it now as an argument when your dear leader has said it about you, and your comments just prove that he was right and that you don’t care about facts, but are deep into the cult and would do everything for him.

                Classic projection, but quite the dumb approach.

                  Going with the “I’m rubber and you’re glue” defense.
