"Don't give us that side-eye. It's not our fault we're living in a John LeCarre novel"

Complete with double agents, deep moles, one secretly-developed poison, and Russian femmes fatales. I'm waiting for the chapter with the moon base. Or the talking cat. There is usually one of those.Oh, the talking cat appears in fantasy novels. My bad. Although, given the general weirdness of the story, of late, I wouldn't completely dismiss the possibility of one turning up.

I’ve seen that Sanders and some other Dems voted against Magnitsky. I haven’t seen his explanation for why he did that. I see him today proposing legislation that would force imposition of the sanctions against Putin the Dwarf’s gang. And I’ve seen many of the attacks I see used against him here debunked by Politifact.
