Russian media celebrates the turmoil created in America by the election of Donald Trump.

Courtesy of Politico: 

Kremlin-controlled news outlets used to root for Donald Trump’s election. Now they’re reveling in the chaos and division of his early presidency. “Sessions Scandal: ‘U.S Headed to Constitutional Crisis,’” reads a March 3 headline on the website of the Kremlin-funded English-language network RT.“Immigrants See American Dream Fade in Wake of Surge in Hate Crimes,” Sputnik News, another English language outlet bankrolled by the Kremlin, reported the same day. 

“America is in the grips of hatred,” the Russian television commentator Dmitry Kiselyov told viewers of the Rossiya 1 network on Sunday night. The popular host, appointed directly by Russian President Vladimir Putin, suggested the political discord could lead to violence in gun-friendly America — “a dangerous combination with free-flowing firearms,” he said. 

It’s not that the Kremlin-controlled outlets which all but explicitly rooted for Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton last fall have changed their view of the New York mogul. It’s that Moscow’s main goal was always to undermine the U.S. political system, regardless of who is in the White House, experts said. 

“The Russian government is savoring the severe damage to America’s international image as a result of the tumultuous first weeks of the Trump administration’s tenure,” said Andrew Weiss, a former Clinton White House National Security Council official for Russian affairs.

The Russians knew they could never defeat us on the battlefield.

All they had to do was watch us dumb ourselves down with reality TV, and an undermined education system, until we were malleable enough to lead us by the nose right over the cliff.

    The GOP Is Quietly Working On A New And VILE Way To Sh*t On American Consumers

    Doesn’t Corporate America get enough breaks at the expense of the everyday American? Apparently not, because they’re working on a bill that would limit the ability of the American consumer to sue, even in cases of gross negligence and flat-out illegal acts. Already it’s difficult to sue due to all the legal fine print that corporations use specifically to make it harder to sue. And now Republicans want to expand and cement corporations immunity from responsibility.

    Of course, they gave it a name intended to deceive us into believing they’re making things more fair for everyone. Leveling the playing field. Things like that. It’s called the “Fairness in Class Action Litigation Act of 2017.” It’s anything but fair – it tips the balance of lawsuits so far towards corporations that it’s obscene.

    Republicans are now paying the price for a years-long campaign of Obamacare lies

    They promised better insurance. They can’t deliver. Now the jig is up.

    ...It was a great line, and it helped Republicans win Congress and eventually the White House. But it was a lie, and now Trump and Republicans in Congress are paying for it.

    Trump is a proven Russian lover - especially when it comes to Putin.

    There is so much divide and hatred of Trump (and Putin) within our country and world that I see no other outcome for Trump than impeachment and/or assassination.

    What massive turmoil we currently live! I'm an older American and have never seen anything like this. Wish I was younger - would be out in the streets organizing and resisting Trump and his ilk!

    Write and call your representatives, bug the hell out of them with your concerns. Don't yell or curse at them, make some sense with what you have to say.
    And don't quit!
