But ... didn't the Norweigans pwn some computers where Fancy Bear were holed up hacking (in russia) and get actual footage of them as they hacked the DMC? Isn't that definitive proof?

How VERY, VERY CONVENIENT TOO that the EU is distracted with Brexit at the moment. HMMM.

As was pointed out the correct term is extortion, my point is why hasn't CNN et al used this term? Seems the main stream media is afraid to call his actions what they really are. Just like how DJTJ should be charged with treason for meeting with a Russian spy.

I think this all makes a lot of sense actually. And would go a long way in tying this all together, especially if the explanation can be simplified to “Putin was the key to whatever (little) wealth he had all along”. Because who the fuck else would have put it in his head to go look at Ukraine for anything? He probably didn’t have any clue it even existed before Vladdy told him (in that meeting where only the US translator was there and Trump told them to FORGET WHAT YOU JUST HEARD) to go check out what the Bidens where up to there. I say get the taxes, put them all out there and only use the necessary Russia parts as evidence in the articles of impeachment.

I have thought for quite some time it really is that stupid. That and Russian oligarchs are the only place he can get loans from anymore.

So Zelensky [...] is surrendering

To be fair to the guy, I dunno who he could ask for help against Russia.The EU? Too busy with our own issues, too afraid of Putin. And don't you know the Ukrainians are happy to become Russians? (or so a compatriot told me, because this Ukrainian girl he met once told him so)And last time a country in our literal backyard was busy genociding people it didn't like, we couldn't manage any form of action until the US, eventually, came to take our hand.The US? Zelensky may be a former comedian, but that doesn't mean he is a complete idiot. He is certainly not blind.

Sigh. I tried watching Maddow, but whenever I see/hear Obama, I just want to cry. Don't think that's too good an idea while at work. Sigh.

Hmmm..Enrichment is what these GOP assholes are getting from Russia and Ukraine. As they say, follow the money.

I’m getting forgetful in my old age, but I remember reading that the reason we have Reverend Pence as our VP is that Trump’s campaign plane was delayed in Iowa while a meeting was arranged between the two future running mates by ... Paul Manafort. Is that still a truth or has it gone down the memory hole?

I don't think this impossible to follow conspiracy theory bullshit they're spewing will give the low info dumbfucks the least bit of cause for pause. They'll just keep yelling about DEEP STATE and 50,000 DOLLARS PER MONTH WITH NO EXPERIENCE and damn the facts, as Bigby said, Democrat bad, IOKIYAR.
