Chess champion and Human Rights Foundation chair Garry Kasparov has been making the media rounds in New York City, but something about MSNBC in particular reminded him of the old days back in the U.S.S.R.
Surprisingly, I do feel at home at MSNBC. Listening to people talk about the glories of socialism, singing the Soviet anthem. Like old days!

@Kasparov63 That is not right. You of all people should know that western government and its services are nothing like the Soviet communism.

@Kasparov63 Social Security and Medicare are not the NKVD and Gulag Archipelago, (although some right wingers might think that to be true).

Relax; he’s just kidding, folks.
Ok, ok, was just a joke! I have been impressed with their Daily Rundown's coverage of Ukraine & am happy to do the show tomorrow morning.

Still, he does have a serious point to make.
Plus, being on MSNBC is a chance to encourage Dems to remember they are party of Truman & Kennedy, who believed freedom mattered for all.
