It's The RUSSIANS AGAIN !

Sanders stands a 40 % Chance of being Nominated
for the Democratic Party .
Now he is being smeared as being  part of a Russian
plan to get Trump re-elected ?
Claims that the Russians were trying to interfere in U.S. elections to help the Democratic candidate beat the Republican was a constant themea of the Far Right for as long as one can remember .(1)>>Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming !. Good movie, and the absurdity of it is directly applicable to the continuing ridiculous attention given the fear of Russian interference, Russia’s election interference by the way never happened , so lets stick to the nerative that they did  in 2016 , it launched a trend of accusing politicians of being foreign assets. The fearmongering over Russian election “interference” might be the most destructive moral panic in American political life since the Red Scare. (2)>>BUT IT WORKS !!!! SCARE THE VOTER NOT TO VOTE !!!. Now it's in the oppsite direction . The Russians "helped" Trump😜 We heard four years of it , we had countless investigations combing for evidence , then we had (3)>>Hillary Clinton accusing Tulsi Gabbard as being a " was a favorite of the Russians" Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont said that Hillary's accusations were were reminiscent of insults hurled among "schoolyard cliques." Gabbard, who is among the contenders vying for the Democratic Party's nomination for president, referred to remarks that Clinton, the former Secretary of State and senator from New York, reportedly made about Sanders in a new documentary. Now what comes around in a new twist , Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is now among those who’ve been accused of such thanks to a viral tweet. The accusation that Sanders is in Russia’s pocket—which he has vehemently and repeatedly denied—has been around for a while. Early this morning, before most were awake, “President Sanders” started trending on Twitter. This served as an opening for some to revive the rumor. On  ABC News released an interview in which Robert O'Brien, Trump's fourth national security adviser, said he had not seen👉 “any intelligence that Russia is doing anything to attempt to get President Trump reelected”.  the Post reported that Sanders, Trump and “lawmakers on Capitol Hill” had been briefed about “Russian assistance to the Vermont senator” this year, but said it was not clear what the effort involved. In a statement, Sanders said: “I don’t care, frankly, who [Russian president Vladimir] Putin wants to be president. My message to Putin is clear: Stay out of American elections, and as president I will make sure that you do".The Washington Post piece is thin on specifics, which should lead us to believe the story is a politically motivated leak meant to slow Sanders’s momentum. The latest round of this endless disinformation, as reported by The New York Times, is a supposed intelligence leak that the Russians are at work once again sabotaging our election, trying to reelect Trump this time. Helping Bernie is SO LAUGHABLE that it SCARES ME 😂, you would think that the American public would fall for this stuff . So all this  (3)>>endless disinformation seems to be coming from our American Government .

NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1)>>Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming !. Good movie.  The Demonrats started the "Russians are coming" stupidity immediately after they knew Hillary lost! But There is a good movie with the same title that I love , it was pretty funny about  a Soviet submarine runs aground off New England. Men are sent for a boat, but many villagers go into a tizzy, risking bloodshed.What a wonderfully farcical concept this movie is. Given the general hysteria of the 60's and 70's about the Cold War, coupled with wonderful acting by all, including the children, this movie is a tour de force. I recently re-watched this after the passage of many years and forgot how hilarious the movie is from start to finish. I especially love Alan Arkin's performance---I didn't realize until recently that he was of Russian ancestry and spoke fluent Russian. (I wasn't paying close attention to the fluency of his Russian and the Russian pronunciation of the other cast members who portrayed the "Russian Invasion Force" on that island community).And his broken English accent is just out-of-this-world. What a wonderful actor he was, along with Carl Reiner, Jonathan Winters, Brian Keith, and the others. Those 4 in particular are sorely missed and were quite special as artists. There's something extra special about watching a movie of such great caliber after the passage of so many years, especially in light of where we've been in light of geopolitics, with added maturity and new insights, and with the sudden tensions all over again in Ukraine, Crimea, and post-cold war Russia.Yes, Russian meddling accusations, next film : James Bond From Russia With Love.... (2)>>BUT IT WORKS !!!! SCARE THE VOTER NOT TO VOTE !!!.   It’s so ironic they flip out on fake accusations of Trump Russia collusion and then turn around and look to Bernie freaking Sanders to save them lol… man these people are DUMB. This whole situation is no doubt highly confusing to many people. Why would Russia be supporting both Trump and the man who is currently leading the Democratic primary campaign? The mostly conservative narrative about election fraud is pervasive, though unfounded: voter fraud is at nearly zero percent in the United States. Sanders is known and admired for his class-based economic advocacy, and radical ideas as Medicare for All, for illegal immigration, and for free health care for illegal immigrants, and how exactly would you expect Americans to pay for that? Bernie is a perfect Russia-bate material for both Democrats and Republicans to demonize him so easy. Sanders accepts the Socialism label and says that to him the meaning of socialism is something like the New Deal vision of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Most Democrats reject the label and say they believe in capitalism tempered by regulation and a welfare state. And Sanders’s vision of welfare state expansion goes a lot further than most Democrats. Now that Russia scaremongering is in full swing. The Fear of Trump being reeclected in 2020  is renewing Russophobia sweeping Washington and the halls of power in the leftist, corrupt media is not about Russia. It is about stopping the Trump agenda. (3)>>Hillary Clinton accusing Tulsi Gabbard as being a " was a favorite of the Russians". Of course the Russian Government didn't want Hillary to win the election in 2016. She had a history of being openly hostile to Russia and was involved in the NATO encirclement that included fomenting a coup in Ukraine to oust an elected President. Putin made no secret of the fact they he preferred Trump but the few thousand dollars of Facebook ads and the feeble attempts by the Internet Research Agency in St Petersburg to troll social media could not have been enough to affect the election. Hillary Clinton is the one who was clearly responsible for her own defeat by running a terrible campaign and using the DNC to assure that no other candidate could win the nomination. She alienated progressives and independents to the point where 46 million eligible voters didn't vote. That wasn't Russia's fault.       (3)>>endless disinformation seems to be coming from our American Government .  Every presidential campaign sees its share of spin and misdirection, but this year’s contest promises to be different.  Disinformation, now known as fake news, has tainted public discourse for ... to make a fake or doctored story appear authentic and consequential. .. Russia "helping" Bernie Sanders is a wallop of a tale that just proves that Russia never meddled in the US election in 2016 or 2020 , but it is nothing more than political mudslingging at its best . Former Vice President Joe Biden said [ FOR EXAMPLE ]  that Russians have worked to block him from winning the Democratic nomination while favoring Sen. Bernie Sanders, though he admitted his claims were not based on anything he had been told by intelligence officials.  Biden's statement shows to what extant that government officials like Biden would carry such an outrageous tall tale to influence the public thought , spreading fear among the voters in the US and scape goating Russia again .
