Boy, I am so angry at myself for donating to Stein's recount effort. It wasn't for her...I thought my donations for the recount could help Hillary -- I was really hurting after November 2016. Well, as my grandma used to say, "live and learn". Stein will never, ever get another penny from me.

[Hav]

1. Of course

They dragged her all the way to Russia to that dinner as well. Just terrible.
But I love that there is now this new boogeyman called “Clinton Democrats“.

[SunSeeker]

2. I didn't think I could hate Jill Stein more than I already did.

I was wrong.

[arthritisR_US]

3. Ditto!

[joshcryer]

5. I hate no one.

But Jill almost makes me want to reconsider.

[Cha]

9. Yeah, she's running for

2020 right now.. betting she wants to make sure trump gets 8 years.

stein is trumputin's useful idiot.

SunSeeker!

[SunSeeker]

10. Hi Cha! Who in their fucking right mind would vote for her?!

[Cha]

11. Rich Suckers who

don't really give a shyte about our Planet.. like Sarandon.

[Hortensis]

19. Nuts vote for her. Sinister wealthy spoilers fund and use her.

Sarandon's both, and she and Russia both got what they paid for. Her indomitable hypocrisy, though, actually makes Putin look good.

"I'm painfully aware of the lottery of birth. Injustice really bothers me,” Susan Sarandon, actress, activist and the new face of Mercedes-Benz told Vogue.

[sheshe2]

79. Susie and her ilk.

[Cha]

4. Of course, fuckface goes on

fox fakenooze to whine about "Clinton Dems".. fuck off ratf*cker.

Look at tucker Carlson just lapping it up.. Clinton Dems wanted to save the world.. stein wanted to collude with Russia to destroy it.

[Docreed2003]

18. Ratfuckers is the perfect description!

Hey Cha! So glad to see you are back!!

[Cha]

46. Mahalo Docreed.. it's really

[Cha]

48. Is that what stein was in

Russia for? I never knew.

[Roland99]

54. Ayup. Celebrating Russian state TV

57. Mahalo, Roland

[stonecutter357]

29. HI Cha ..

[Cha]

47. Aloha stonecutter!

[workinclasszero]

68. Nothin to see here folks

I'm sure Jill Stein was well paid by Putin.

[Cha]

70. And, cornel west was on the Democratic

Platform supporting this RFer.

[workinclasszero]

73. Yep

[mcar]

87. But, but his plate was empty!!

I've seen that "explanation" for why all this is innocent.

[stevenleser]

82. Here is my response on Twitter

[Cha]

84. Thanks, steven! I wondered what the

fuck she was talking about. Course her fans won't know the difference.

[Takket]

6. Methinks the lady doth protest too much

In other words, she is guilty as fuck

[Wwcd]

7. 🖕 jill putinstein

[eShirl]

8. so you run and cry to Tucker Freaking Carlson?

sounds legit

[dem4decades]

28. Is there a person on television with a face that cries dummy more than his?

[Heartstrings]

52. Every time I see his face

the banjo music from "Deliverance" kicks in.....

[dem4decades]

56. I reserve that image for Trey Gowdy.

[Heartstrings]

58. Get the same reaction from him as well

Just share that banjo music around to all the deplorables.

[Hekate]

12. My gods that woman is a tool. She's a freaking con artist, too ...

Don't feel too bad about sending money for the fake recount. We were desperate. I would have sent her twenty bucks myself, if only I could have figured out how. I was desperate...

[ProudLib72]

43. Why did HRC not make a fuss over the recount?

That's what I remember thinking at the time. Did Hillary know about Stein/Putin, or was she being gracious? I bet she knew something.

[democratisphere]

13. Spoken like a true red bellied redumbliCON masquerading as the Green Party Leader.

Jill even likes being interviewed by the fox authoritarian propoganda network. Jill should be brought up on political harrassment charges! Next time Vlad invites you to dinner Jill, it might be a good idea to refuse. He is notorious for using people like they're his puppets.

[bdtrppr6]

14. jill stein is clueless

and pointless. plays enlightened, but an obvious fakir.

[Demsrule86]

15. She is a grifter...she goes on Fox to complain about Progressives...and notice how she helps Trump

by claiming the Russian things payback...she is Trumpian.

[still_one]

16. I hope a lot of folks who were conned by Stein have learned from this. I feel toward Stein the same

way I feel toward trump and the republicans.

[VOX]

17. HTF did some Americans reach a point where selling out fellow-Americans for $$$ was okay?

Think for a second: you’d have to be pretty fucked up to say to yourself, “I could live with that. I could live with selling out the poor, and people with serious medical needs, various people likely dying, subject them to live under totalitarian rule, etc.

How did these Stein/Trump enablers get to where they are, head-wise? So uncaring. So goddamn brutal. Just for money? The end of this ugly path is being so pathologically indifferent that you turn a blind eye, and shut off your basic human morality, like guards at a concentration camp.

I can’t even relate to the idea of the type of mind that does this shit.

[MichMan]

20. Ask those who donated $$$ to the "recount" so Stein could keep undermining our party

Even after all of what you said was known, there were still many people(including some on this site) who couldn't wait to donate money to that POS for her fake "recount" so she could continue to attack Dems.

[iluvtennis]

39. I donated to the recount, BUT I never liked Stein. She was potentially a means to an end

for me on the chance that the recounts could show Hillary had won. From things that occurred during the recount process, I was able to deduce it was going no where. But, I had to take the chance if it meant something could be revealed to help my girl Hill. Beat me up for it if you like.

[MichMan]

65. It was clearly obvious that the "recount" had zero chance of being successful

Stein knew she could get $$$ from gullible pawns

Those who donated money have to live with themselves that they helped enable Stein to do more damage in the future

[MyNameGoesHere]

21. If only my party was that vindictive Stein

Shit heads like you would think twice about fucking up an election.

[tanyev]

22. At this rate she'll soon be tweeting about Fake News.

[2naSalit]

30. Meanwhile

she appears content with creating it.

[Roland99]

23. Yeah, because *Clinton Democrats* are directing Mueller

What a self-important putz

[DURHAM D]

25. I am surprised she has not been appointed Surgeon General. nt

[mcar]

26. Defensiveness, deflection, blame HRC

She's got the RW talking points down.

[betsuni]

27. Surprised she didn't say "The Clinton Machine."

Type that into this site search.

[lunasun]

36. ++++++ some readers here will still ponder if what she says may be true ...

[LonePirate]

31. Whether they did or did not, I am OK with this happening to Stein.

She was as much a puppet as 45 has been.

[rockfordfile]

32. It seems to me that she's a fraud

[oberliner]

33. Jill Stein: 2015 Russia dinner with Putin was a 'non-event'

Former Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein on Thursday said a 2015 dinner with Russian President Vladimir Putin was a "non-event."

Speaking on CNN's "OutFront with Erin Burnett," Stein said that no translators were present for the dinner, which was hosted by Russian broadcaster RT, and added that she spoke only with a German diplomat at the table.

"There was no translator at the table," Stein said. "Vladimir Putin came in very late, with three, four people that I thought were his bodyguards, turns out they were core people in his administration, but you never would have known that."

"There were no introductions, no conversations," she added. "Russians spoke Russian, I spoke to the only person in earshot who spoke English, who was a German diplomat that was sitting to my right. So it was really quite a non-event."

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/366126-jill-stein-2015-russia-dinner-with-putin-was-a-nonevent

[Caliman73]

41. Yes because Putin speaks no English whatsoever....

She just got the lucky straw to sit at the table with the President of Russia, along with Flynn. It was all just a happy coincidence that the man who eventually became the NSA director and part of Trump's team, and Jill Stein, spoiler candidate, were there.

Totally believable.

[oberliner]

42. Right

She is very obviously full of crap.

[Caliman73]

44. I wonder if they think people are that stupid or if some other process is occurring.

I mean there are a great number or people (Trump voters / Stein voters) who are actually that stupid, but seriously, you sit at the same table with Vladimir Putin and you have no contact with him whatsoever?

[Me.]

77. That'S Satire..Correct?

About Putin not speaking English?

[Caliman73]

89. Not so much satire, but sarcasm.

Putin's English is reported to not be great, but he certainly understands enough to get by. Stein's contention that she sat at the same table as the President of Russia and said nothing to him is ridiculous.

[Me.]

90. You Can JUdge His English For Yourself

Scroll down

http://foreignpolicy.com/2013/06/12/putin-speaks-english/

[Caliman73]

91. Are you defending Stein or Putin here?

Why are you so insistent on discussing Putin's English? The point is that Stein is an idiot and likely a liar regarding contact with Putin. The truth is I don't care how good or bad Putin's English is. He need not be fluent to recruit a willing idiot to subvert our political process. He was a KGB agent and a case officer. Stein, Flynn, and others (I would bet that this included Trump personally) associated with him because of the potential for economic gain in the lawless Russia of the late 90's - early 2000's.

This isn't about his English, it is about people lying about their connection to him.

[Me.]

92. What On Earth Are You Talking About

The implication has been all along that he couldn't speak English very well so neither Stein, nor Trump for that matter, could talk with him one on one, but Putin is perfectly capable of table talk w/Stein and whispering, in English, into trump's ear without others knowing what he is saying. That English is a point of contact for starters. And neither I or many members of DU need to be educated about who Putin is and his contact with certain Americans...though the full of it has not yet been made public.

[Caliman73]

93. So then basically you didn't get my sarcasm...

Next time I will put a smiley.

[Me.]

94. Clearly, It Wasn't Evident

[Caliman73]

95. Doesn't come out well in text sometimes.

Next time I will use the smiley. We are not in opposition here. Just to make sure to end on a positive note.

Happy Holidays!

[Me.]

96. Quite

The same to you....

[Ilsa]

59. Yeah, I guess next she will say the invitations

Went out due to a lottery or some other shit.

She has ruined the Green Party.

[R B Garr]

34. She just confirmed what her role was. She spelled out

her rat fucking strategy — antagonize Democrats. She wasn’t about issues as some like to keep up the illusion that she stood for something. Her whole campaign was that Democrats were to be demonized, and now she has confirmed it.

And she sure has the Russia/Fix News points down! Now she’s gargling the “Russia probe” conspiracy to demonize and delegitimize that. She’s a liar and a fraud!

[Stinky The Clown]

35. Fuck you, you right wing enabler.

[ismnotwasm]

37. #FuckyouJillStein

[Gothmog]

38. A vote for Stein was a vote for Trump

[PragmaticDem]

40. There is a special place in hell for Jill Stein!

[SharonClark]

45. Has she been kicked out of the Green Party?

[Initech]

49. Oh go eat a steaming bag of rancid dog shit, Jill.

[L. Coyote]

50. Whose covfefe is she drinking?

[TEB]

51. She is a narcissist as well

They probably found something is why

[SHRED]

53. She thinks Democrats are in control of the investigations?

What a political hack she is.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

55. You sure it wasn't the Republicans trying to deflect attention from Trump?

That makes more sense to me.

[VOX]

60. DOCTOR Jill Stein out-Nader-ed Ralph Nader.

They both tipped elections, but Stein should have known better than to hitch her wagon to the Death Star of Putin, Trump and other assorted totalitarian assholes.

[oberliner]

61. "Dont Waste Your Vote on the Corporate Agenda Vote for Jill Stein and the Greens"

Remember these types of articles around September-October?

Don’t Waste Your Vote on the Corporate Agenda—Vote for Jill Stein and the Greens

https://www.thenation.com/article/dont-waste-your-vote-on-the-corporate-agenda-vote-for-jill-stein-and-the-greens/

How do those people feel now?

[triron]

62. I was caught by the same trap.

[oberliner]

63. Also, Susan Sarandon specifically told people in swing states to vote for Jill Stein

"Now that Trump is self-destructing, I feel even those in swing states have the opportunity to vote their conscience"

Not to mention Marc Lamont Hill, Ray McGovern, Chris Hedges, and on and on.

[old guy]

69. Liar.

[Blue_true]

71. Don't kick yourself about donating to Stein's recount fraud.

You made the donation for a right reason, remember that above the other stuff.

[iluvtennis]

81. Thanks for that feedback... needed to hear that :-)

[Mr. Ected]

72. Correction, Jill. The punishment will be doled out by Robert Mueller

You're going down.

[Cha]

85. Oh I hope so, Mr.Ected.

[GoCubsGo]

74. Awwwww... Bless her heart! n/t

[nini]

75. I can't believe how many people fell for her crap in the first place

That traitor deserves everything coming to her.

[Skittles]

76. not just when she was running

but her "recount" scam

[nini]

78. For sure

Putin probably loved that one..hell, it was probably his idea.

[Ilsa]

80. Dr. Stein: STFU and go away. nt

[ecstatic]

86. She's neither an idiot nor a useful tool--she's a criminal & traitor.

And just like Trump, Jr, Kushner, and Flynn, she should be prosecuted as such. The idiot defense doesn't work for me.

[Turbineguy]

88. She's on Fox News.

Yeah. Only truthful people go there to be interviewed!
