I keep thinking of the family of Seth Rich, who have spent two years watching kooks and useful idiots accuse their murdered son of leaking these emails. Imagine how that feels.

Reminder that Julian Assange (who was in a position to know) and others have spent the past 2 years trying to pin the DNC hack on Seth Rich, a slain DNC junior staffer who cannot defend himself. https://t.co/ibOGMpC27Z

One can still hope Assange will pay some price for his venality in this, among other, instances. Newt Gingrich, on the other hand, has nothing to fear but the verdict of history…
Today’s indictment is fatal to the Seth Rich conspiracy theory. @newtgingrich said to be in search of a newer, healthier conspiracy. https://t.co/qIhutP8M2M

In light of the Mueller indictments, I called @newtgingrich to see if he would like to apologize to the Seth Rich family for peddling the conspiracy theory that Rich was killed for supposedly leaking the DNC docs to Wikileaks.
"No. Goodbye!" Gingrich told me before hanging up. https://t.co/hhy10ru7MN

There must be other current and newsworthy topics in or related to the realm political which can be front paged occasionally. A steady diet of ass does no one any good.

Notmax, pay attention. The ass is supposed to get the taste of salted dicks out of our mouths.

When it comes to the Rs, there’s Snowflake salt.

Now that is a beautiful example of marketing bullshit.

OT.
Half watching a history, produced in Russia, of the Crimean War.
Russian commanders are invariably presented as imperiously noble, congenitally courageous and intrinsically superb military tacticians. Russian troops retreat, foreign troops “run away.” And no matter what, the Czar can do no wrong.

True story.
Reminded of the repeated announcements over the P.A. at a ski resort in the Poconos. “Beautiful day on the slopes today. Just like skiing on a walnut sundae.”
Asked the shill (off mic) making that announcement what he meant by walnuts. Answer? “The rocks.”

Gingrich apologize? Conservatives have no problem lying to promote their causes. They refuse to admit that they were wrong even in the face of overwhelming evidence. And like their President, they have no shame.

Ah but liberals are uncivil, don’t you see? /s

@Patricia Kayden:
You need a soul to experience shame.
I see that Trump has blamed poor relations with Russia entirely on previous US administrations. Nothing to do with Russia or Russian actions.
So it looks like it’s not America First, it’s Blame America First.

@Patricia Kayden:
Yeah, Gingrich definitely is apologizing for this on the 12th of never. Right after Hannity.

These are the same GOOPers who have never apologized for the Clintons had Vince Foster murdered bullshit, why start now with this Seth Rich bullshit story?
