Who the fuck said I "am cool with it? "

Who? Huh ?
Who?
Not me.
YOU said it. YOU DID... by your innuendo and implication.

This is the same stupid fucking argument that says one can not be pissed off with the "Trump/Putin" connection AND pissed off at the behavior of the DNC toward Senator Sanders at the same time.

at the Mariinsky Theater attending a concert.
I was also there in December for two concerts, celebrating the 150 birthday of Jean Sibelius.

I'll be in Tokyo shortly, well, actually Kawasaki, for another concert- flying to Haneda which is conveniently about an 8 minute taxi ride from the MUZA Kawasaki Concert Hall. Yipee !!!

Oh where do I 'stand?' Stand , where are my feet? Where, oh where.....??
beneath me.

I know people, musicians, who know Putin, some pretty famous musicians, actually. Two of them are, unfortunately, pretty strong supporters. While I understand their position and relationship with him, that does not make my relationship with them any easier. Putin is a fuck, but a very smart one. Trump is a fuck, but a stupid one.

Oh, almost forgot, how could I.. I was in the same audience as Putin for a concert in Moscow in July, 2015... VG was the conductor, in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. I don't know what that means... nothing really.. just interesting, I guess.
There, if you like, maybe you can googledeegoogle and try to figure out which concert it was. God, it went on for EVER!

This is about whether it is right to hack into people's emails and not about wars abroad. Geez.

as much money as you want on your candidate? Who was the politician in the news that was being funded by a Chinese super PAC? I can't remember for the life of me.

P.S. - I'm being snarky. I think this is a major, major deal.

And Donald and the RNC should be investigated to see if they had anything to do with it.

You don't care the DNC violates its own rules.

Just wait till an election year comes when this party's elites shit all over and disrespect a candidate you support. Maybe then you will understand.

I have seen nothing that rises to the level of shitting on your candidate...the email I saw was dated in May. Bernie had lost by then.

In the first place, they were hacked. So no one would have seen them. And that does not matter. We don't have to see all the emails. If we are going to judge the DNC on these emails, it's hardly just, since other entities aren't hacked. If we got to see the Bernie campaign's emails, we might well find some stuff we could likewise criticize. Or the RNCs. So you're really justify hacking just the DNC an judging only them. They are not just the messenger, they did something wrong.

And if Trump is personally involved, he will have to step down. He might even go to jail.

Privacy. After this I would be willing to purposely dump some planted emails for the trash readers to see. Set them up for a snipe hunt.
