He is one of the Senators who Rethugs feared. Stone engineered Al's removal from office

In his last post I read: "As we gather around the table this year, we have a lot to celebrate, including a whole bunch of thrilling Democratic victories. But we also have a whole lot to worry about when it comes to our country. For me, and for so many of you, politics has always been about the improvement of people’s lives, just like Paul Wellstone said. And there’s so much more work left to do. I still miss being in the fight every day, and while I’m certainly not running for anything, I hope that, in the next year, I’ll have the chance to help make a difference again."

I can hope that this means he is thinking about running again in the future.

6. stone has been using talk radio for 20 years and increasingly maybe putin has too

many mmajor characters in this have long time talk radio links.

stone told j toobin for an interview how he was using talk radio in florida in bush v gore and apparently corsi was a regular guest on "coast to coast" in recent years - that was supposed to be about aliens and ghosts but did a lot of global warming denial and anti dem/liberal conspiracy bullshit - and they would also get stone on there - aside from all other RW talk radio related work going back to stone in 2000 times using cuban rw talk radio etc to stop recounts etc.

sam nunberg says he listened to 1000's of hours of talk radio for trump in 2014

and manafort/putin/limbaugh may have coordinated to force mccain to pick palin, who was meeting with russians about alaskan oil gas deals - manafort was the campaign cochair and limbaugh wouldn't endorse mccain - a disaster - until he picked palin - timed within minutes of the startt of the limbaugh show so he could announce it and finally support mccain on the eve of the gop convention

they're all up to their necks in vast rw conspiracy and hopefully mueller will expose how putin's been using the vast rw conspiracy fake news media to spread global warming denial, anti-democratic bullshit, racism, and fascism
