From #LockHerUp to #FreeMariaButina
This switch should not be a problem at all for the Trumpistas. The Ministry of Truth commands it.
Please proceed, Mr. Putin. You are just digging your hole deeper.
Lock Her Up!
Lock Her Up!
Lock Her Up!
Lock Her Up!
”Using the hashtag #FreeMariaButina, the Russian MFA’s official Twitter account also urged Twitter users to change their profile photo to one with Butina’s image.”
Are Ted Nugent and Kid Rock headlining the “Free Maria Benefit Concert”?
So…
The Washington Post, the New York Times and the AP all think her name is spelled M-a-r-i-a.
And the Russians think her name, spelled in English, is M-a-r-i-a.
The Cyrillic “Мария” translates literally as M-A-R-I-YA. That’s how a person named Maria spells it in Russian.
Please, TPM. Drop the double-I affectation. It’s distracting and it’s wrong
And it looks Estonian.
I saw MFA and I immediately thought “Muthafuckas of Arkhangelsk.”
It will finally be easy to identify Russian Twitterbots.
Trump will pardon her.

Well, shucks, Rooskies, if you really want her to go free, you need to give the criminal justice system something it wants. Incriminating evidence about someone higher up on the food chain, for example, on the off-chance you have anything like that in a folder somewhere.
I hear that tapes - both audio and video - are very much en vogue today.
On the other hand, federal prosecutors are funny; they enjoy evidence of serious financial crime the way most of us enjoy mango water ice. Or lime, fine, sheesh, you people.
Well, to each his own … but, to all of us something.
Because there’s plenty of crimes for which to bring indictments.
is that a band, if not it should be
Russians show loyalty to one of their own. Meanwhile in South Africa President Obama gets the cold shoulder from Weenie Tot. Orders from HQ. Apparently Barack scared him for life at that Correspondents Dinner.
Oh, you skeptics. We all know how the Russian government goes to bat for every innocent, “not doing of spying” Russian who gets arrested somewhere else. I’m sure she’s just an innocent grad student.
More like, KEEP HER LOCKED UP, is more fitting in this circumstances?
Includes David the Puke Dick Duke too, I bet!
Innocent until proven guilty and all that, but I see that the irony destroying propaganda out of Russia continues apace.
