    maddow spent like 20 minutes rehashing the 2016 russian interference narrative and said nothing about the pied piper strategy, clinton not campaigning in wisconsin, nor last month’s statement from putin about preferring biden to trump in the present.

    i guess liberals can remember history more than a week if it’s more convenient than what’s actually happening.

        Fascists need their enemies to be both strong and weak at the same time, liberals need them to be both nefarious strategic geniuses and absolute hole-in-the-ground idiots.

      Really? Trump being elected would be a final blow for Ukraine.

        President Vladimir Putin said that Russia would prefer to see U.S. President Joe Biden win a second term, describing him as more experienced and predictable than Donald Trump — even though Moscow strongly disagrees with the current administration’s policies.

        Putin’s comments during an interview with Russian state television Wednesday were his first about the upcoming U.S. presidential election, likely to pit Biden against Trump. They were rare praise for Biden, a fierce critic of the Russian leader who has frequently lauded Trump.

        “Biden, he’s more experienced, more predictable, he’s a politician of the old formation,” Putin said, when asked which candidate would be better for Russia. “But we will work with any U.S. leader whom the American people trust.”

          If Trump’s rhetoric is to be believed. I have absolutely no reason to believe it.
