“The idea that political donors expect a specific policy result in exchange for their campaign contributions – a quid pro quo is the definition of corruption – it is right now absolutely out there in the open.”

Adelson’s campaign contributions to Trump and the GOP are chump change next to Putin’s.

Did that saboteur even mention the help he got from Putin or nah?

Saudi Arabia allegedly dismembered a Turkish WaPo reporter, China kidnaps the Interpol Chief, Russia kills its ex-spies on foreign soil and blatantly interferes in free elections because they know the USA under Trump has zero moral authority and cares not a whit for human rights or the rule of law.

Expect authoritarian regimes to continue to engage in these heinous acts until we get a real President.

TPM has a problem with headlines in that there are two Sanders One is “Bernie” the other is “Lying Fatty Sara” Can we just use those terms for clarity?

Sanders is mostly wrong as usual. It’s The Common International Authoritarian Front.

Splitter!!!

Just reading the headline I thought Sarah might have said something true for a change.

Hillbot still stuck in the past. Sad.

“This corruption is so blatant, it’s no longer seen as remarkable,” Sanders said.

And they thought it couldn’t happen here
(duh duh duh)
They knew it couldn’t happen here
They were so sure it couldn’t happen here
But ….

Yeah, I assumed they were talking about Sarah. Maybe, at least, the headline could say, “Sen. Sanders” when referring to the socialist.

Ok, I guess this would be news if Trump himself had not done so first.

“Buh…buh…but BernieBros caused Trump!”

cvonhagel · October 9, 2018, 6:12pm

That was my thought on reading the headline: She’s admitting it?

I admit, it’s been hard to keep my Sanders’s straight. Several times lately, when I’ve seen “Sanders” in a headline about Sarah, I’ve mistakenly thought it was about Bernie.

Misread that as the International Common Font of Authoritarians. Which, I think we can all agree, is Comic Sans.

I thought it was about Kentucky Fried Chicken!
