    If they want to mirror our capitol rioters and support someone as racist as Trump (Navalny called Georgians the Russian pejorative "gryzuny" (rodents) and called a female Azerbaijani co-worker “chernozhopaia” (black-assed) . . . whatever. Never mind that he's called for mass deportations of immigrants and uses slogans like “Russia for the Russians” and “Stop feeding the Caucasus”. He's anti-Putin, so he must be GOOOOOOOOD!!!!

    You spend all day on here ripping America's racist deplorables and the GOP politicians they vote for. And then you turn around and voice support for this fucking guy?

    He was actually expelled from Russia's liberal "Yabloko" (Apple) party for damaging their brand. You know, like Marjorie Taylor-Greene is doing to the GOP.

    This country somehow has convinced itself Navalny would be a Macron or Merkel if only he could get the chance to lead Russia out of the abyss.

    No. He would be more like Viktor Orban or Marine Le Pen.

    Dictator vs. democrat? Not quite: Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny is no progressive hero

    Russia’s Trump

    Navalny is a political prisoner who Putin tried to poison and kill because he is a threat to Putin's power and his ability to line his pockets.

    But let's avoid talking about that. ... and instead make it about Navalny's character or ethno-racist things he may (or may not) have said once upon a time ago.

    Navalny is a populist. He says whatever is likely to stir up a crowd. He's probably not the most principled person on earth.

    And it still has zero to with the fact that his situation in Russia is that Putin is a dictator who will disappear anyone or anything that is a threat to Putin. ... such as Navalny.

    That has zero to do with Marjorie Taylor-Greene. She was free to run for Congress, people were allowed to vote for her (it makes Americans idiots, but democratic idiots), a dictator running the U.S. hasn't drummed up false charges against her to try to keep her from office, and then tried to poison her using intelligence operatives he controls because she is a threat to him, and then threw her in prison for good measure.

    Stick with”America is a moral and legal pigsty with racist, religious fundamentalists about 50% of the electorate. America has zero credibility or position to complain about any other country’s politics, including China, Russia, Chad, Sudan,Venezuela and Iran.”

    Forget this mess:
    The Republicans propose slimmer benefits, including $1,000 in direct payments to individuals earning up to $40,000 a year, or $80,000 for couples, according to a draft obtained by The Associated Press.

    I'd question the "all day" part but that aside, do you disagree with my stance?

    That ridiculous charge is clearly a bald-faced lie.

    No way in hell she has a yoga teacher.

    Cute that you don't think Trump is the same dictator.

    If he was a dictator, he'd still be president.

    But yeah, I am cute as hell.

    The "so what" line is what everybody's thinking so let's see if that's the "Republican" boost that gets things going.

    He's the Trump University of dictators who flailed and failed and couldn't dictate his way into a 2nd term.

    But yeah, try to pretend he's not Putin.
