Russia issues sanctions on people Trump doesn’t like!

The list includes Stephen Colbert, Brad Raffensberger, Letitia James, Morning Joe and Seth Meyers.

Raffensberger and James, in particular, are not involved in foreign policy. To my knowledge, neither of them has made any public statements about Russia, but they are among Trump’s bugbears. Perhaps the most obscure private citizen on the list is the Capitol Police officer who killed one of the January 6th rioters. (Although this man has no connection to Russia in any way, he is the subject of lunatic conspiracy theories among the Trumpies, and has also been singled out by Putin in the past.)

The list is confusingly inconsistent.

  • One of the most baffling omissions is Jimmy Fallon, given that Kimmel, Meyers and Colbert are banned. If Fallon’s writers ever return to work, they should have a lot of fun with this. Conan O’Brien is not on the list either, and he’s just ballsy enough to go to Russia for a comedy special.
  • In another example of inconsistency, the list does not include others perceived by Trump as enemies, like Alvin Bragg.

The list of 500 new names means that there are now 1,344 Americans covered by Russian sanctions. I was kind of heartbroken to see that I did not make the cut.

  1. Fucking *crushed* I didn’t make the cut here. If you’re not pissing off the Russians or Trump (I know, I know: same thing) you’ve really gone down the wrong path.

    1. The Durham report proved that “Russia, Russia, Russia” was pure fiction. Let it go, but you can’t because admitting you were wrong means you have to question other beliefs you hold.

      1. Nope, it didn’t prove jack, any more than Mueller “exonerated” Rump. He just talked a bunch of shit very slowly and expensively. Failed in court because no evidence. Not “belief”; fact. Though after four years of President Covfefe I can see where you’d get the two mixed up.

        1. You are some sick people. Amazing. Like or hate trump-I happen to hate him- you are blind to truth. Fantasyland. You are naive, don’t realize it, and then wonder why you lose in life. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

          1. Egad, sir! Your incisive ad hominem argument has swayed me entirely. Thank goodness you came along to put me on the right path. Godspeed!

      2. The Durham report did not judge whether that investigation itself was productive. It simply concluded that the basis for opening a full investigation was “thin,” in the opinion of two experts.

        1. Note the careful wording. It said “thin,” not “inappropriate” or “improper.”

        2. It is just a selective choice of experts (Supervisory Special Agent-1 and UK ALA T-1). Are those the only two he asked? Were there 100 others who said “robust”? We don’t know.

        3. We do know that nobody committed any crimes, although Durham dug around forever to find some.

        4. More important, Durham used his narrow charge – to investigate the INITIATION and ORIGIN of the investigation – to avoid the ugly truth: Whether the investigations of Flynn, Manafort and the others were initiated on a flimsy pretext, the culprits did turn out to be guilty. (In Manafort’s case, the jury could have found him “incredibly guilty,” like the characters in The Producers.)

  2. I didn’t see Putin invading Ukraine under Trump. He did it under Obama and Biden. I couldn’t care less if they are best friends if that keeps Russia in line. (*here come the “NYPD statistics” from the naïveté’s amongst us)

  3. Like being on Nixon’s list of 100 enemies it adds to your prestige. 😛 Indeed, Nixon although violating the U.S. constitution every which way but loose didn’t intentionally kill anyone if you don’t count Vietnam. 😉 So hard to pick a worse homo sapien, eh. Will give Putin a slight edge.

    btw, politicians can’t keep a secret is not true as Nixon’s secret plan to end the Vietnam War remains a secret to this day! 😮

    Digressing …

    1. They deserve to have a song, like the evil version of “Abraham, Martin and John” – Tricky Dick, Putin and Don.

      Has anybody here seen my old friend Putin?
      Can you tell me where he is?
      He killed a lot of people, but only the good die young
      So Crimea is still his

      ….

      Final verse:

      Has anybody here seen my old friend Jordan
      Can you tell me where he’s gone?
      I saw him walking straight down to hell
      With Tricky Dick, Putin and Don
