You don't sit with Putin, just because you purchase a ticket.

he only sat at the table a couple minutes, and didn't speak to anyone

if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.

good rule of thumb but if I'm sitting at a table in Hitler's Germany, am I supposed to start throwing knives in the middle of his propaganda gala?

“They did offer to pay my way and I said, No thank you.”

Sounds like a VIP to me. She was also sitting at the table with the keynote speaker, Michael Flynn.

Until now, Stein hasn’t offered many details about how she came to be there or what happened beyond saying it was “a great opportunity to lay out some of my foreign policy proposals and get Russian reactions to them.”

So she wanted Putin's approval on her foreign policy?

Oh what luck! She bought a ticket and ended up next to those people. She must have been so surprised!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

she was. did you watch the video link in these comments?

If that's true, is that supposed to make it better? She traveled half way around the world to celebrate the anniversary of a Putin propaganda network.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

to celebrate.te a network that has given her more airtime than CNN, MSNBC, and Fox combined.
