So now we know that Robo is a Russian troll.
Three of the top 15 URL's shared over the past 24 hours by 800 Russian-linked disinformation accounts tracked by Disinfo2018 are about Tulsi Gabbard, the pro-Putin, pro-Assad congresswoman who just announced she's running for POTUS in 2020.

i swear to god the center-left mainstream media (NYT/msnbc primarily, but even the fucking new yorker) is so enthralled with any relationship they can find between trump and russia because it's the only out they have to excuse clinton's loss without coming to terms with the fact neoliberal policies regarding global capitalism (which they all love) have fucked a majority of us so drastically that we got the orange hamburglar for president.
- agreed, and they do it at a seemingly highschool level of maturity, with what seems like entire segments spent whining and gossiping on rumorsmonospaced
- they really don't need to ... I wish they would give 20 minutes max to the hamburgler each hour and then spend the other 40 minutes on actual newsmonospaced

no sympathy to or apologies for liberal democrats this year. we'll pull this party back to the left kicking and screaming, or split it once and for all and they can all cry in to trump's 2020 win.

Just to give you some background...I went to Obama's announcement that he would run in 2007, and went door to door in early 2008 to convince primary voters that Hillary could not win and that Obama could, and moreover, that she was a poor choice if we ever wanted to see actual progressive governance. I felt that she would be forever tainted by her Iraq vote, among many others.
So, in 2016, I was not thrilled that she won the nomination, even though the primary season had her tacking further to the left. I was mostly concerned that she is not genuine; that, like Gore, she was too programmed and more like a weather vane. I doubted her ability to inspire anything close to what Obama did. Don't get me wrong, I thought she would win...I thought Trump was the perfect candidate for her to run against, although as the election grew closer, I was worried about her inability to say anything about Trump's sleazier side, given her husband's issues.
Now, of course, although Trump is coming close to destroying the Republic, we're at least seeing a Democratic party ready to reclaim its pro-worker past and work toward what most polls say is a progressive-friendly electorate. Because of that, I'm heartened by the range of choices available to take on Trump and/or Pence in 2020. It will go the way these things always do...the field will be quickly winnowed, with several dropping out before the primaries even begin. I don't fear a centrist vs progressive split...I think this will sort itself out through the primaries, as it always does. I should think that the Dems' experience with Kerry in 2004...and Gore and HRC in their won-the-popular-vote elections...will show them that the nominee must be 1. Genuine, and 2. Inspiring in order to win. I personally believe that the biggest mistake besides failing to heed that would be to nominate a longtime creature of Washington, as it plays into Trump's narrative of draining the swamp...I know he's the swampiest ever, but the alternate reality thing means he'll just hammer someone like Biden. And for that matter, someone like Bernie. I think the Dems would do well to forget about someone who is "experienced," and nominate someone new, as Obama was. He was ready to lead, no matter what else you might think of him.

- Right now I don't see it happening, the Dems are split hard down the middle, 1/2 will want a person of color, 1/2 will want a white male... can't win that way.robotron3k

- many Republicans are ditching him too ... and let's not forget most of the country STILL doesn't support him eithermonospaced

- Robo thinks dems won't vote for a candidate cause they're not the right color. I'd vote for a carrot stick at this point.mathinc

This is seriously sad, can't even start to imagine all bad things that can still happen while Trump is in the Presidency.
Not that the US and their foreign politic was much better but this guy can really lead things to disaster.

The Washington Post has updated its list of the Administration's shifting goalposts with regard to collusion:
1. November 2016: No communications, period
Hope Hicks: “It never happened. There was no communication between the campaign and any foreign entity during the campaign.”
2. February 2017: There were no communications, “to the best of our knowledge”
Sarah Sanders: “This is a non-story because, to the best of our knowledge, no contacts took place.”
3. March 2017: There were communications, but no planned meetings with Russians
Donald Trump Jr.: “Did I meet with people that were Russian? I’m sure, I’m sure I did. . . . But none that were set up. None that I can think of at the moment. And certainly none that I was representing the campaign in any way, shape or form.”
4. July 8, 2017: There was a planned meeting at Trump Tower, but it was “primarily” about adoption and not the campaign
Trump Jr.: “We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago and was since ended by the Russian government, but it was not a campaign issue at that time and there was no follow-up.”
5. July 9, 2017: The meeting was planned to discuss the campaign, but the information exchanged wasn't “meaningful”
Trump Jr.: “No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.”
6. December 2017: Collusion isn't even a crime
President Trump: “There is no collusion, and even if there was, it’s not a crime.”
Jay Sekulow: “For something to be a crime, there has to be a statute that you claim is being violated. There is not a statute that refers to criminal collusion. There is no crime of collusion.”
(Technically speaking, the criminal code doesn't use the word “collusion,” but it's generally understood as a broad term that could encompass more specific, codified crimes. And even special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's team has used it in court filings.)
7. May 16, 2018: Even if meaningful information were obtained, it wasn't used
Giuliani: “And even if it comes from a Russian, or a German, or an American, it doesn’t matter. And they never used it, is the main thing. They never used it. They rejected it. If there was collusion with the Russians, they would have used it.”
[One thing, Rudy Giuliani: The Trump campaign *did* use it.]
8. May 19, 2018: There was a *second* planned meeting about foreign help in the election, but nothing came of it either
The New York Times reported Sunday on yet another meeting about getting foreign help with the 2016 election. This one came three months before the election and featured Donald Trump Jr. and an emissary, George Nader, who said the princes who lead Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates wanted to assist Trump.
Alan Futerfas, Trump Jr.'s attorney: "They pitched Mr. Trump Jr. on a social media platform or marketing strategy. He was not interested, and that was the end of it.”
9. July 16, 2018: Trump couldn't collude, because Trump didn't even know Putin
Trump: "There was no collusion. I didn't know the president. There was nobody to collude with."
10. July 30, 2018: Collusion isn't a crime, and Trump wasn't physically at the Trump Tower meeting
With Michael Cohen alleging that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting in real time — despite many previous denials — Giuliani told both CNN and Fox News that Trump wasn't physically at the meeting.
"I’m happy to tell Mueller that Trump wasn’t at the Trump Tower meeting,” Giuliani told CNN, adding that "Don Jr. says he wasn’t there.”
He added on Fox: “He did not participate in any meeting about the Russia transaction. . . . And the other people at the meeting that he claims he had without the president about it say he was never there.”
Giuliani also argued that collusion isn't even a crime.

“I don’t even know if that’s a crime — colluding with Russians,” Giuliani said on CNN. “Hacking is the crime. The president didn’t hack. He didn’t pay for the hacking.”And on Fox: “I have been sitting here looking in the federal code trying to find collusion as a crime. Collusion is not a crime.”
11. January 16, 2019: Trump didn’t collude, but no guarantees on others in the campaign
The exchange with Cuomo:
GIULIANI: I never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign --
CUOMO: Yes, you have.
GIULIANI: I have no idea -- I have not. I said the president of the United States. There is not a single bit of evidence the president of the United States committed the only crime you could commit here -- conspired with the Russians to hack the DNC.
CUOMO: First of all, crime is not the bar of accountability for a president. It’s about what you knew --
GIULIANI: Well, he didn’t collude with Russia either!
CUOMO: -- what was right, and what was wrong, and what did you deceive about? Those are going to be major considerations.
GIULIANI: The president did not collude with the Russians.
(CROSSTALK)
CUOMO: He said nobody had any contact, tons of people had contact. Nobody colluded, the guy running his campaign --
GIULIANI: He didn’t say nobody --
CUOMO: -- was working on an issue at the same time as the convention.
GIULIANI: He said he didn’t. He didn’t say nobody. How would you know that nobody in your campaign --
CUOMO: He actually did say that, Rudy. He said, nobody, and then he said, as far as I know.
(CROSSTALK)
GIULIANI: Well, as far as he knows, it’s true.
