Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Context note: that picture was taken at an RT (Russian state-backed propaganda outlet) dinner in a room full of powerful Russian oligarchs. Gorbachev was there but at a different table, and yet Jill Stein was one of the guests of honor at Putin's table. Also worth keeping in mind that this dinner took place in 2015--more than a year after Putin had first invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea.
she was not a guest of honor and it wasn't Putin's table. he was there only a couple minutes
Nobody bashes Hillary for being a photo where she shook Putin's hand. Jill was simply at a table where Putin dropped in, said some stuff in Russian, and then left. She didn't even speak to him.
Hillary Clinton was the US Secretary of State.
Jill Stain was a guest of honor at a RT state propaganda banquet.
That shit ain't the same, amigo. You need to try harder. You need to shill smarter.
she wasn't a guest of honor. she had to pay for the ticket
Yeah, I'm sure she just picked up one of these at the front desk and then proceeded to casually sit down at a random table that just happened to be where Putin and Peskov were sitting.
Let me say this as nicely as possible, you're just not sharp enough to play these kinds of games yet.
Workshop some better material and then come back and try it again, ok?
I'm not playing a game. if you are maybe you should find a different community.
impuning my intelligence and being condescending doesn't change whether I'm right.

Was Jill Stein ever the Secretary of State? Shaking hands with people like Putin was part of her job.
if jill stein had been elected, she, too, would have been expected to shake putin's hand. which is something she didn't do at that dinner.
You conveniently ignore all the other Russian oligarchs at the table.
That should be immediately disqualifying to every leftist. If you'd be upset with her palling around with Musk and other CEOs, then you should be upset with her hanging out with even worse capitalists.
