    Here’s a picture of Jill Stein sitting as the guest of honor with Vladimir Putin and disgraced US General Michael Flynn in 2015, one year after the Russian invasion and annexation of Crimea (Ukraine).

    You were saying?

      she’s not the guest of honor. she’s just a RT contributor who got invited and paid her own way. this isn’t the OWN that Rachel maddow thinks it is.

        She’s literally sitting at the same table as Vladimir Putin. You think that have open seating at these events? Fucking Gorbachev was at that dinner and wasn’t even at that table. And yes, this all took place after Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014.

        If you’re gonna advocate for Stein you’re going to have to come up with something a little bit more convincing.

            There’s a very easy way to not end up sitting a dinner table with murderous dictator war criminals and traitors: don’t go to dinner with them in the first place.

            This isn’t exactly rocket science.

              do you think that they gave her the guest list?

                Yes, in fact I do. Are you suggesting she was somehow tricked into attending a Russian propaganda event?

                Try harder.

                  I think that she’s a regular contributor to RT. she went to their anniversary dinner. she paid her own way. she had no way of knowing who would be there or who she would be sat with.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
