Huh.

And here I was, thinking that surely people were fed up and I should stop posting almost exclusively about US politics...

You're the second person to talk about this link on my flist in the last 15 min. I was equally horrified both times.

The Putin one? Sorry. It's just very eye-catching. And as someone closer to him (geographically) I too am worried. I try to translate that into making the issues better known...

The Trump surrogates on CNN are nothing short of astounding. On a completely different note, Kaine's speech today was just amazingly uplifting and Hillary looked really happy. Yay!

Thank you for these!! Headdesking more than ever, but thank you.

Dude. Manafort worked for a pro-Putin politician before?? I'm rather staggered, even as I know I shouldn't be.

*HUGS*

You couldn't make it up... (If you want to be cheered, watch Tim Kaine's speech. <3)

I don't really care about him being 'safe" or "boring." Reading about his record against the NRA is encouraging.

Having just watched his speech, I would say 'boring', but 'relatable'. 'Friendly'. 'Down-to-earth'. I think he'll be great. Quiet determination, and he doesn't give up.

Yeah, it was a great speech. Left a very, very great impression!
