    Nobody hates Russia, they hate Putin, and his regime. Aside from Jill that is.

    Edit the point is the dinner itself represents no wing doing, but as the article mentions it’s about the company you keep.

    Similar to this , since you like Newsweek:

    https://www.newsweek.com/photo-trump-epstein-resurfaces-after-jd-vance-fox-news-1941065

    If you really think stein is on the level after such interactions and social proximity, then that’s the most telling thing about your choices so far.

    And if not Putin, Michael fucking Flynn is there which also speaks to the character of the crowd

        I never said she was a Russian agent, I’m just reflecting on the company she keeps. She chose to stay, chose to listen. Chose to dine with them. We know that for certain. It reasonably opens the door to further concern.

        I’m sure she would explain the presence away, that’s no defence. Same as trump would have some oh so benign explanation for why he was on Epstein’s jet.

          She chose to stay, chose to listen.

          She explained why she was there and what she was doing while there.

          And I’m happily voting for her.

          Not sure why you keep bringing Epstein up. He has nothing to do with Jill Stein, the news article posted, or this conversation.

            I never said he has anything to do with stein. I made a clear point of discussion that Epstein has relation to trump as a point of comparison.

            I.e. Jill was around Putin and Flynn, with an excuse.

            Trump was around Epstein, with an excuse.

            Super basic critical thinking.

              Again with the Epstein. This has nothing to do with Epstein. Let’s move on. You disagree with me. I disagree with you. And that’s ok.

                It’s not “again” you said you didn’t understand, and I clarified I never associated Epstein with stein, then reminded you what I did associate him with (trump, and a pattern of familiarity that is suspect)

                The point you aren’t getting is the names don’t matter, it’s the pattern and proximity, albeit with an “excuse”, which proves paper thin given the reputation of the other person (Putin/ Flynn, or Epstein.)

                  So you don’t think any majory organizations looked into to it?! You don’t think that if there was something there, that the news orgs would cover it?! Do you have some sort of proof that they don’t have?

                  Dude, it’s been looked into. It’s a non-story. I get it means a lot to you. But it doesn’t mean anything to me or my fellow Green Party voters. Move on.

                    It was widely reported and discussed as concerning from a variety of platforms/orgs.

                    If you don’t see how steins soft on Russia language, and her association (once witnessed, how often outside of that dinner?) With Flynn and Putin is suspect, then theres nothing else to discuss.

                    It’s so fucking transparent how her only goals are to sow discord and she never lays her efforts on republicans.

                    Edit “never” outside of soft pitch attacks
