California Democratic House hopeful Harley Rouda is taking the accusations of Russia collusion to his potential opponent, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), in a new ad that frames the congressman as part of a joint effort with President Trump to side with Russia.
The new digital spot, shared first with The Hill, criticizes Rohrabacher for his ties to Russia. The New York Times reported last year that the FBI warned Rohrabacher, considered one of the most Russia-friendly lawmakers in Congress, that Russian intelligence had been trying to turn him and had even given him a code name.
"America, let’s show Trump and Rohrabacher it's time for a leader who represents us, not Russia," the ad's narrator says.
Man I love the hell out of this!
Rohrabacher has been Putin's puppet for years now, and it is high time that he is called out for it publicly.
Rohrabacher claims that his constituents do not care about his Russian connections, but I think that with enough of these ads that will definitely change.
I also think this might be a winning strategy for a number of Democrats moving forward.
If their opponents do not have direct ties to Russia, then they can be called out for supporting the agenda of the Kremlin's agent in the White House.
I wouldn't be so sure about constituents changing their minds. After a year of the shithead president, plenty still support him!

ReplyDeleteDemocrats have a number of issues they can use to attack republicans:
ReplyDelete1. Republican support for Russia over the U.S., as evidenced by their refusal to properly investigate Russia interference with the U.S. elections, and Dotard's collusion with Russia.
2. Republican disdain for the poor and middle class as evidenced by the recent tax legislation.
3. Republican racist views as evidenced by their overwhelming refusal to condemn Dotard for his racist remarks. (This is just one of many examples.)
4. Republican policies of putting corporate profit and executive compensation over the health of the citizens by ignoring and loosening environmental regulations and laws.
5. Republican's contempt of women by passing laws denying their right to make birth choices, and by refusing to support legislation which seeks to make women equal to men.
There are many other issues the democrats can and should use. If the democrats do not take control of the house or senate (or both) it would primarily have to do with poor messaging.
Chicken shits. The question is, WHY?

'We are all born scientist.' CAUTION:
ReplyDelete"“It would be a devastating, self-inflicted wound for the Democrats to settle for even benevolent mimicry of Mr. Trump’s hallucinatory circus act,” he wrote. “Indeed, the magical thinking fueling the idea of Oprah in 2020 is a worrisome sign about the state of the Democratic Party.”
"Rationalism is mostly wrongheaded, mystical feelings should override scientific understandings, reality is an illusion one can remake to suit oneself. The 1960s countercultural relativism out of which all that flowed originated mainly as a means of fighting the Man"

The Secret? O" New Age, Oprah-style, shares with American Christianities their special mixtures of superstition, selfishness, and a refusal to believe in the random. “Nothing about my life is lucky,” she has said. “Nothing. A lot of grace. A lot of blessings. A lot of divine order. But I don’t believe in luck.”"“There isn’t a single thing that you cannot do with this knowledge,” the book promises. “It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are, The Secret can give you whatever you want.”
Because it’s a scientific fact."“When I discovered The Secret, I made a decision that I would not watch the news or read newspapers anymore, because it did not make
ME FEEL good.”"“Vibration,” Winfrey interjected.
“… vibration,” MacLaine agreed, “and gravitational pull. Hence the weather. What does that do to consciousness? What does that do to our sense of reality?” It’s why people feel rushed and stressed"Mixing magical thinking with medical science and physiology, however, can get problematic. A generation after its emergence as a thing hippies did, alternative medicine became ubiquitous and mainstream. As with so many of the phenomena I discuss in my book Fantasyland, it’s driven by nostalgia and anti-establishment mistrust of experts, has quasi-religious underpinnings, and comes in both happy and unhappy versions.
And has been brought to you by Oprah Winfrey."

I am still trying to find who has such a low opinion of Americans that they are willing to try an force another inexperienced person into the role of President of the United States. I guess it is because the current one is working out so well Eh? Just because you are the head of a large business does not make you a person who can lead a nation.
