Since Jill Stein only shows up every 4 years I wanted to quickly remind everyone, not just of this photo, but how notoriously difficult to it is to have access to war criminal Vladimir Putin, let alone *a seat at a table with him*. Backing Jill Stein is willful ignorance.

Yeah... no, photographs are too easily doctored. I'll need more proof than that if you expect me to believe Jill Stein had a public dinner with Vladimir Putin in 2015 claiming she was going to talk to Russia about her foreign policy before getting elected, but never got the chance to, because Vladimir came and sat down at her table, without a Russian translator present, just long enough for people to take photographs. Apparently she came to convince Russia to enter into an agreement with the USA to stop all weapon shipments to the middle east and freeze the bank accounts of certain Saudi princes. This is illegal under US law according to the Logan Act, but the fact that absolutely no one listened to Jill Stein's speech makes it hard to say she was negotiating on behalf of the USA at all, since everyone ignored her.

Anyway as she is the candidate who believes homeopathy is not a lie to scam desperate people out of their money, I can't support Jill. Better than Donald, but again, the presidential election is about parties, not candidates, and the vote is kind of broken. I don't really have an opinion about this photo, but nobody in their right mind should believe you if a photo is all you provide, so here have some sources:

That infamous Moscow dinner where Michael Flynn and Jill Stein sat with Putin? Utah’s Rocky Anderson was there, too.

It’s your typical dinner banquet photo, except for who’s seated at the table.

@cy

it's important to be suspicious of intent, and fabricated evidence

but stein herself admits this is real

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot9QbFjRSwM

so yes, you are correct, we need to be suspicious

but we can't distrust everything

instead:

investigate, and verify, and then believe

don't just disbelieve everything

endless disbelief is a path to being manipulated by disinfo as surely as fabricated evidence is, and cynicism, fostering cynicism, is in fact the point of russia's firehose of falsehood

Jill Stein: I didn't speak to Putin
