Peak behind-the-curtain Russia: State TV showed off the pinnacle of Russian AI—Robot Boris. He droned in robot Russian "I know mathematics but I want to learn to draw and dance." Everyone oohed, aahed. …Turns out he was FAKE. Just a guy in a robot costume
Fake “Hi-Tech Robot Boris” is a fitting metaphor for Russia's influence operations around the world. A spaghetti at the wall strategy—throw everything, see what sticks. Think Jr's Trump Tower meeting w/ Russians, Butina & NRA, Putin's niece & Papadop, Kushner & Gorkov, etc. etc.
Russia's robotics wonder "Boris the Robot" turned out to be a guy wearing a £3,000 “Alyosha the Robot" costume equipped w/ microphone and tablet display. It didn't fool eagle-eyed Russian bloggers at @MBKhMedia who exposed the fake y'day. Funny, but sad. theguardian.com/world/2018/dec…

MAGA America: Trump’s about to speak in the Rose Garden. He reportedly just threatened to keep the govt shutdown for “months and years” over his campaign con wall. While a federal worker tells CNN she can’t pay her bill. #winning 🙃
Trump: “Tremendous things are happening. Wages are finally going up. It’s beautiful. That doesn’t happen from luck. I worked hard on that.” Now he’s just rambling about “open borders,” people getting shot, children…“Coyotes take a left, turn at the wall or powerful steel.” 🤦‍♀️😒
Listening to Trump, like

It’s official: Nancy Pelosi Elected Speaker as Democrats Take Control of House !! via @NYTimes #Democrats #Democracy #116Congress nyti.ms/2RsaB9L?smid=n…
My wonderful Representative @RepBarbaraLee walks on the floor of the chamber as Nancy Pelosi is set to make history by being elected Democratic Speaker of the House—AGAIN. And third in line to the presidency. A good day.
JUST NOW: Democrat Nancy Pelosi is now the duly elected Speaker of the House of the #116Congress. First person in 6 decades to return to speakership. And the first, second and only woman to hold that powerful position. #winning

Trump’s rant at WH meeting today even made Bill Shine—disgraced FoxNews exec now head White House PR guy—squirm. He couldn’t sit still, as Trump rattled off his usual ignorant propaganda talking points and self-praise.
“What’s he done for me?”—Trump on Mattis, says he fired him because “I want results.” This rant at WH cabinet meeting is just incredible. It’s like he’s on speed. He just can’t shut up🤐. TV cameras should pan out—to capture the reaction of people in room.
How dumb is Trump? Really really REALLY dumb: "The reason Russia went into Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia. They were right to be there. That's why there's no Soviet Union."

It's a miracle we've survived 2 years of this. Not sure about the next two.

#Russia's state TV sets out to disprove the Kremlin's involvement in the #YellowVests protests by asserting that Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev is "not linked to the government" and bringing on Xavier Moreau— the founder of the Kremlin's propaganda outlet in #France. ©️
Moreau says he is proud to be a citizen of the greatest country in the world [he is a dual citizen of France and Russia] takes the flag of "DPR" [Russia's fake "republic" in #Ukraine] out of his pocket, says he wouldn't mind if the Kremlin sent him money [then adds it's a joke].

Russian troll guidance from the latest DOJ charges:
"Any attempt to remove Trump is a direct path to a civil war in the United States. Name those who oppose the president and those who impede his efforts to implement his pre-election promises."

#Russia's state TV devotes an entire segment to my Tweets about the "I'd rather be a Russian" Trump rally T-shirts. They invite a psychologist to discuss "mass hysteria, paranoia & schizophrenia" in the US. Reminiscent of a Russian weatherman trying to diagnose Morgan Freeman. 🤣

They're going nuts over there.

Trump wingman Rand Paul invited members of the foreign affairs committee of Russia to come to the US after Paul met with Konstantin Kosachev.

Kosachev is the man alleged to have met with Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen in June 2016, in Prague

Rand Paul says he invited Russian lawmakers to come to Washington. He seems to be gesturing towards Konstantin Kosachev, who can't travel to the US since he is under sanctions. via @JuliaDavisNews
"Mueller’s investigators also have evidence that Cohen actually met with a prominent Russian – purportedly Konstantin Kosachev ... who chairs the Foreign Affairs"

Rand Paul met w him & invited him to US even though he is banned by election sanctions
