You’re fuckin’ with the wrong POTUS, Vlad. Just wait’ll you see how the oligarchs react when their overseas assets are frozen, their visas invalidated, and their internet speeds throttled down to 54K modem speed.

“Also, no soup for you!”

Putin is biding his time, hoping that Trump will get back in.

Well, it is almost July…

Any U.S. President that wants to dress down a foreign leader for subjecting their citizens to hardship has a rough road to hoe. All anyone has to say is “You guys were led for 4 years by an insane criminal narcissist with fascist authoritarian motivations. A grifting, lying, bombastic shyster. One that probably stole his first election through subterfuge, and damned near did it the next time he ran. And you’re lecturing us about how we lead our country? Take a damned look in the mirror.”

“Oh, wait,” said Vladimir. “We helped put him there. Never mind.”

It bears reminding that approximately everyone who lives anywhere within the former Soviet Empire or its sphere of influence, and who was befriended by Giuliani, Flynn, Stone, Johnson, Nunes et al, would have been a teenager or young adult when the Berlin Wall fell. Whatever career or station in life they’d achieved, would’ve been forged in a post-Soviet dystopia where no station is achieved without the express or tacit consent of Putin. Putin’s orbit became Trump’s orbit.

Steviedee will definitely not be accused of blathering optimism, that’s for sure!

I love his parting shot, “If you don’t understand that, you’re in the wrong business”.

When Americans cry about abuse I have to laugh. This country is the biggest collection of self flagellating morons on the planet. Probably at least 75 million of them that would rather do a death dance with an often fatal virus than go to the bother of getting vaccinated.

And one more:

Zev Shalev (ZevShalev)

But let’s definitely all surrender.

Biden’s diplomatic jiu jitsu this fortnight was masterful. He gathered G7 allies, reclaimed NATO leadership, neutralized Netanyahu, boxed-in China and shrunk Russia down to size.

Don’t forget that he got a special hand-built bicycle from a company who normally takes 18 months to fill an order in 4 days and at a 66% discount, plus they threw in a matching helmet.

Fuck. You.

I think it’s the other way around. FOX is just a traitorous Western outpost for PRAVDA. Its owned by a fucking Australian for Chrissakes. Robert “Prune Prick” Murdoch needs to locked up.

Cut the fucking fiber optics to these guys and the will be reduced to selling beets again.

Biden: a pro.

This is a very large, diverse, powerful country, with well-educated, articulate, caring people.

Biden wishes to expand that % of the population.

Rupert Murdoch is a naturalized US citizen. And FoxNews belongs to the Fox Corporation, which is a publicly traded company. The Murdoch family (through a trust) owns 39.6% of the stock.

I support both conclusions.

Hey, we got rid of the wanker, he’s your toxic waste problem now.

Any article on Joe Biden meeting Vladimir Putin should be titled, “Biden finally sits down with his predecessor” because at for sure on foreign policy if not everything, Putin was running America until Biden’s inauguration after the insurrection failed.

Well Putin is 68, 10 years younger than Biden, I wonder if the Russian is slipping because his defense to being a repressive murderer is, “you are doing it also”, is also an admission that he is doing everything we say he is doing.

Now I get that is standard for a Republican, instead of denying all the bad shit they do they defend by accusing Democrats of doing the same thing, I always thought Putin was smarter then that. But then again, as Trump was, make that is, a Putin puppet, maybe not.

Maybe if Biden was poisoning the Insurrectionists, Putin would be ok with it.
