Vlad ‘The Influencer’ Putin – On Immigration

The Democratic meltdown over “Russian Hacking” has given Vladimir Putin near super-human powers of influence in the US political system.  I’d expect him to be offered the ‘cold open‘ for Saturday Night Live or a least a guest host slot on TBS’s Conan soon.  As a matter of fact, we’ve set up his own “Vlad – The Influencer” category to keep track of all things Putin.

McCain Says Russia Guilty of ‘Act of War’

If CNN reports it, it must not be ‘fake news’.  From CNN, “McCain: Russian cyberintrusions an ‘act of war’“.  An observation before the money quote, however.  It’s not all about you and Lindsay becoming relevant again, John.  Thank God you don’t have a ‘button’ and a ‘red phone’ and a 03:00 am call.

Sen. John McCain said Friday that Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election amounted to an “act of war.”

The Arizona Republican, who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, also has scheduled a hearing for next week on foreign cyberthreats to the US, which will also focus on Russian cyberhacking, a committee aide told CNN earlier Friday.

I can’t wait for the revised lyrics of John and Lindsay’s hit song, “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran“.
