    She should just head back to Russia and admit defeat. I’m sure Puttie will go easy on her for not getting Trump locked in.

      Oh come on, get over that drivel. You are working for Putin with this level of misinformation.

          I love this picture. She’s either there because she’s in the social circles to be there or she’s there in violation of laws about private citizens conducting diplomacy.

          I need that goose to chase her around with this question.

            The last time I posted this picture, a JillBot said it was because she was asking Putin to play nice in the Middle East.

            This is apparently a statement that we should take at face value with no incredulity at all. Putin and Flynn just have dinner with political nobodies who are asking them not to do war crimes.

          Her story behind this is so funny too. She’s claims she was already sitting there, when Putin and a handler just walked up and sat down. No one said anything because no one spoke Russian (though Putin speaks English and German, and apparently didn’t have a translater handy at this international event). Since no one could talk, they awkwardly got up after a while and walked off!

          Sounds extremely plausible and defensible to me, don’t see what people are so hung up about! /s

            Not to mention it was an event in celebration of Russian TV network RT, the blatantly propagandist government news outlet.

            Even without Putin at the table, WTF is she doing there?

            IIRC, Putin can speak English perfectly well, but he insists that you either speak Russian or go through translators as a kind of power move.

            Which doesn’t make her story any more plausible, of course.

        How can you honestly think she’s legit? It isn’t one piece of evidence, it’s up to like 10 or so now. Just admit it, she’s not a real fucking candidate and even if she was there’s zero chance of winning or even getting remotely close to it

          Jill Stein is so bad that if we had ranked choice voting, I would still place her pretty low. Above a random Republican, I guess, but there’s got to be a better third party on the left.

          Green Party supporters never seem argue on any sort of issue. They don’t try to build a coalition to fix the two party stranglehold at the state level. They barely try to get people into office at lower levels at all–a few hundred positions out of a country of hundreds of millions of people is nothing. Their historical opposition to nuclear power has made climate change worse. They had an internal fight to take quack medicine (homeopathy and such) off of their official party policy in 2016, and there’s still plenty of insiders in favor of it. When a Green Party supporter is presented with this, they fall apart. They can’t defend it because it’s indefensible.

            Yeah, Shill Stein has dug her own grave several times, and by extension, the Green Party has too.

    So why can’t Kamala attend the debate without him? It’s be like a fire side chat with a presidential candidate. We could hear more on the platforms without interruptions or hearing about what was on tv in Ohio.

    He’s welcome to come too, but I’m sure he’d rather skip this free advertising time.
