In my experience the Russians are good people. I've worked with two different men.

same. the common russian is very much like americans. really not too surprising since they went through the decades of propaganda just as we did and eventually, after tempers flared down, we have found common ground in disgust for politicians. i hire a couple on various occasions and while they do enjoy their vodka, they are some of the hardest working people ive ever seen.

Not only is this Russian boogey man storyline pushed by the US lefties a joke here, the Ruskies think its pretty damn funny too!

I keep hearing "lefties" are trying to blame the Russians, but the leading member of the Senate Intel. Committee doing the investigation, James Lankford (R) OK, has an "R" next to his name.



Looks like both sides are singing "Russians meddled", but only one side's supporters lack all self awareness on the issue.

Don't let facts get in the way of that "darn lefties" false narrative.

There are plenty of people up there with R next to their names that are in reality leftists or authoritarians. And lots of those Rs are just as paranoid about Russia as the ones with D after their name.

One of my Russian friends sent me the vid in the OP but she put in a warning, "No watch while drinking coffee." I was thankful for the warning 'cause it did give me quite the giggle.

It's just so preposterous---Russians used fake news and propaganda to convince conservatives not to vote for Hillary. Can we see the pay stubs for the droves they paid to stay away from Hillary rallies? Or maybe they paid all those thousands who showed up at Trump rallies. Any of you Trump supporters been depositing rubles into your bank accounts?
