Makes me wonder who around Trump really was the one who made that decision. I’m sure Trump didn’t know and what’s more, wouldn’t have cared.
But that’s very interesting given Silicone Valley’s role in all of this - through facebook and twitter.

Ah yes, I remember the mysterious plumes of black smoke billowing from the soon to be vacated Russian consulate in SF.
It was the Ruskie spy frat houses in Maryland and NY that Obama ordered closed.

Thank you for the clarification - I knew Obama had closed some embassies.

“Fantasies about domestic politics… Yeah, that’s the ticket.”
DT’s gotta get his marching orders from somewhere. Not that there’ll be anything new about that, what with all the times the Trump Org has echoed and amplified memes out of Moscow. No collusion there, though. After all, great minds think alike.

Fuckerberg doesn’t get a lot of criticism locally, actually none as far as I can tell, and I’m guessing it’s because he’s a home grown philanthropist endowing entire wings of hospitals and doctor wife as well.
Who would have suspected this wasn’t genuine.

O yeah that is how that works. No local politician is interested in pissing off a major philanthropist.
Boy I wish I knew exactly what Zuckerberg knew and when because I don’t think he’s told the truth about it all once.

When suggestions first arose after the 2016 election that Facebook may have influenced the outcome, Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s chief executive, dismissed the concerns. But by last September, Facebook had disclosed that the Internet Research Agency had bought divisive ads on hot-button issues through the company. It later said 150 million Americans had seen the Russian propaganda on the social network and Instagram.
To atone for his sins, he’s now working with Mueller.

Kislyak channels his inner Trump. Or is it the other way around?
Where the hell have you been?

Your post made me think – these are foreign nationals subject to FISA, so really all their contemporaneous communications have by now been dug out. Kislyak comes from a long line of disinformation experts, I’m sure he is probably deeply implicated. When he said the charges are: “simply fantasies that are being used for political reasons inside the United States,” what he meant was “damn, damn, damn!”

“I’m not sure that I can trust American law enforcement…”
Yes, it’s a shame what Sessions has done to the Department of Justice.

Here’s another, less simple, translation error, which I have corrected:
“I’m not
sure that I can trust American law enforcement to bethe most precise and truthful source of information about what Russians do.”

Okay, I have to admit that I had an LOL moment when I read this, max! You managed to perfectly channel my dad during my teenage years if I missed curfew (which, of course, I never did)
