"How'd we miss this?" you ask...because of the CLUSTERFUCK of and Administration we are living in. Wow, just wow.

I say send this to Rachel and others and see if there's some follow up?

This is definitely part of a bigger pic, if Cambridge Analytica is even slightly indicated in the interconnections, there's another piece Muller no doubt did NOT miss

So demoralizing...but I try to remember that “people are saying” that the depth and breadth of our current transnational corruption will be exposed for all to see someday, and that it will be a breathtaking event, or series of events I guess

Wannhhh, but this is disgusting

Thread: Something rotten is going on with this lobbyist -Michael Esposito.

He was involved with SCL group, the Clinton Campaign, AND Donald Trump

What is this?#TrumpRussia




It would take me hours to post the first 19 tweets on this Esposito guy, but - what an eyeful of dirty doings...maybe he’ll do a thread unroll on this -

But what a disaster this is.

No one can think any longer that he isn't trying to destroy America.

"Don't watch what he's saying.. watch what he's doing" (or something like that).

He acts nuts.
He lies.
He seems unstable.
He makes us constantly wonder what the heck is going on.

But every time this madman blows smoke, the Press dives on it like a bunch of ravenous dogs. In the meantime, stuff like this is happening right under our noses. TBH, I think Putin hands him more instructions when ever they get together - chapters from Putin's playbook: "How to quickly and effectively take down a Democracy".

The sleight of albeit tiny, hands, the smoke and mirrors, part of the sociopathic, salesman repertory. The only thing that he might be minimally good at is creating diversions. The rest of it is obeying the commands of his handlers. The president is an idiot.

But who among us hasn't been scammed by a salesman? Advertising is the continuous con game and it's unrelenting. Every where you look today, somebody is the singing to a "I gotta get mine" song. TV, Go Fund me, Twitter!! OMG, social media marketing has expanded the risk of getting scammed exponentially. I'm sorry to say just blowing up the television isn't enough anymore. We have to get educated, stay smart, stay focused and stay connected to a truthful, empathetic support system just to stay afloat. It's a perpetual battle.


Thanks for the reply erronis.

YouTube already has plenty of democracy takedown videos, Putin need not micromanage, he can just send Trump a Playlist.
