It's Monday. The scandal turned out to be a nothingburger over the weekend: There is no proof so far that the emails are in the least related to Clinton's case, except for republican rumormongering.

And yet Russia Today keeps presenting the rumor as fact, days after it has been proven wrong in a flurry of media-activity. Russia Today also manages to somehow keep up with the story all the while somehow failing to mention that
1. there is no evidence to the rumor
2. there is no re-opened investigation

It's really funny how Russia Today somehow forgets to report on such crucial facts over and over and over again.

2. Do you really think making stuff up is helpful??

Never mind the "republican rumormongering", there's a letter from the FBI saying they think it may be pertinent.

You can say "nothingburger" a hundred times if that's what you think will get us out of the jam we're in.

4. What jam are we in?

Leading in polls. Almost all metrics are looking good for us to take the WH and pick up house and senate seats. The most progressive platform in decades.

At this point no one has shown me this is anything but a wash. An issue, yes. A jam? Hardly. I am with you that this isn't simply "nothingburger". God I dislike that term. But to claim we are now in some jam would also seem to be false.

Putin/Trumps mouthpiece adds up to not much of anything.

5. There is no "jam" so please quit concern trolling -nt-

[Wilms]

6. "concern trolling"??

I guess you missed the hundreds of freak-out threads in the last two days.

But really, thanks for YOUR concern. LOL!

7. I'd pretend the sky is falling as well should it suit my narrative.

9. OKAY, then.

Nothing to see here, so we all should be moving on.

10. You really love you some RT, eh?

Pro tip: it is a nothing burger and your favorite news source lies about everything.

[Wilms]

12. Watch it, Doc.

My favorite news source happens to be DU.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

14. Yet you attack every negative post about

RT, Putin, or Assange.

3 things that aren't very popular with DUers.

[Wilms]

16. Ohhhh. That's right. This is HIGH School.

It's a popularity thing. OMG!

Sorry, Doc. I think the record shows me making logical and rational arguments...however UNpopular they might be.

Popular.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

17. You mean your unrelenting support for Putin and Assange?

I wouldn't call supporting a dictator or a rapist as "logical and rational".

YMMV.

[Wilms]

18. Only a quack would administer an ad hominem.

What else have ya got, Doc?

[Dr Hobbitstein]

19. What ad hominem?

You deny that you support Putin and Assange?

Putin is indeed a dictator, and Assange is most likely a rapist.

20. Who is unaware that RT is a Putin mouthpiece?

Does anyone consider RT as anything remotely credible? Their attempts at a John Stewart type Daily Show is especially pathetic.

If there is anything meaningful in these emails it should be investigated as it normally would and not leaked 8 days before the election. It's clearly a partisan hack and only meaningful as a distraction.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

21. The poster I replied to is apparently unaware.

Or willfully ignorant of said fact.

[TrekLuver]

13. We be jammin' mon.

[PunksMom]

3. Who really gives a shit what Russia thinks?!

[Hekate]

8. DU used to have some real fans of RT as a source. Thanks for the reminder that it is propaganda...

Propaganda, disguised as news.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

11. Still does, apparently.

15. It's not funny at all, now we know their true agenda

Fuck them. I used to think RT was a reasonably ok news source, but i don't trust them at all now.
