Russia “coup” running thread - Доверяй, но проверяй

Meanwhile, in the U.S. ... (probably NSFW):

That can't happen in Russia. State-sponsored thugs with billy clubs would be splitting skulls open before it got going.

It's Russia. It's about as "diverse" as most countries.

I had a lot of thoughts watching that, some that had me giggling, others that had me puzzling.

One was how fit they looked compared to the typical American kids I see . So now I am wondering if they are indicative of most Russian kids or if that was a beautiful people only thing. Or if it was staged somehow, to put the hot girls in the front and the nose pickers in the back.

As an aside. ... for my money, I still will take a mob of Cossacks singing the Russian National Anthem (or the old Soviet lyrics instead) over any show of nationalism on earth today. Every time I hear it, I am ready to set a wheat field on fire and pick up a sword.

You mean this guy?

on Soviet TV, they'd end the programming day with the national anthem (like we did here), but after that instead of just a test pattern, they would have a beeping sound and a visual telling people to "DO NOT FORGET! TURN OFF THE TELEVISION!" because people would tend to fall asleep with the TV on, and it could become a fire hazard if left on all night.

I guess yelling everything they'd been thinking to themselves trumps all but it'll never not amaze me that a guy who looks like that makes other people feel like they're supporting the biggest winner ever.

There's a sucker born every minute. And apparently the majority of them have fallen into the trump cult.

It really is astounding he's looked upon as some sort of god to these morons. He's a bloated, whiney asshole with a combover and clown makeup.

The lisping mincing foppy wristed foof who continually complains people are " nasty."

America's rough tough alpha male.

It's like Fredo Corleone saying "I'm smart, not like other people said, like dumb."

It's like Jules said in "Pulp Fiction": "Check out the big brain on forko!"

If he consumed one Big Mac for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day for that period, then you would be correct.

But you also got to mix in a few tube steaks at Uncle Vanya's.
