Russia has just banned another 500 Americans from entering their country. Some of these make sense. For example, Erin Burnett, of CNN, has been banned. She has led off a number of her Out Front shows with Russia’s missteps and violations in Ukraine. Another one that would make sense is Rachel Maddow of MSNBC. She is no fan of Russia.

However, when you go down the list, a number of the Americans banned are on the same list as Donald Trump’s gift of coal Christmas list. These Americans have nothing to do with Russia, but they have been banned, anyway. Americans that stand out are Alvin Bragg, the DA who indicted Trump on the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ scandal. There is New York Attorney General Leticia James, her office having sued the Trump organization for $250 million. There is Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger who recorded Trump’s perfect call. And, of course, if Trump has a dartboard, this guy’s face would be on it, Jack Smith. Now none of these four just named above, have anything to do with Russia. But they are on the list of Americans banned. I wonder why.

An American who is not banned is Tucker Carlson. His last bi interview before being fired from Fox was a fawning interview with Trump. Another coincidence, I guess.
