ezs note:  Yeah, this was a really dumb move.  For a second or two, this may have felt good.  But you might as well have handed state Sen. Kennedy a gift.   Organize. Protest (legally). Use your vote.  But congratulations.  You may as well have given state Sen. Kennedy a lock.  Hope you feel good.

Kislyak, whether Mr. Trump’s aides could use phone lines at the Russian embassy to communicate with Moscow during the presidential transition."

ezs note:  My God - this is a video so repellant, so utterly disgusting it absolutely beggars description.  I just sat here for 20 minutes, wondering what I should do.  Fortunately, there is a Brazilian consulate very near me in Hartford, so I decided to start a petition drive.  I will hand-deliver it when it is completed.  Please do likewise if you are near Boston, New York City, Washington DC, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.

Dandara dos Santos, you are not forgotten.  And we won't let them either.

I may have been placed in the United States, but I love Canada.  Even with a Conservative government, you're still miles ahead of us in championing progressive principles.  Which is why I urge you to get out the vote on October 19, 2015.  You can do it!
