Vladimir Putin echoed Donald Trump's words when he claimed the former US president was the victim of "persecution of a political rival for political reasons."

    I guess it must be. I can’t think of a bigger expert in persecuting political rivals than Putin

      Putin’s wondering why Trump just doesn’t put polonium in Biden’s soup.

      Theory:

      he’s been dead for some time. But the generals need a figurehead for when the shit storm finally comes their way. It’s Weekend at Bernie’s: genocide edition using wax dolls, body doubles and disembodied voices.

      This explains why nobody is allowed to sit too close to him at the table, or even meet with him.

      (I feel like I have to specify that I’m not serious)

    Guess we know who he thinks benefits him the most. You’d think that would be a red flag to a Republican. Russia endorsing a candidate of theirs.

    "Look, Russian subjects! America is just like us, but worse. At least you have a stronk leader like me. Now let’s go and kill some Ukrainian children! " -putin

    One more evil thing that trump has done; giving Russian propaganda machine fuel.

    This clown would be pretty funny were it not for all the misery and war crimes he’s committed.

    We’ll look at that. Trump finally got his lord and savior to do some saving.

    Were he not evil and worthless, in another life, Putin could’ve played a great Popeye the Sailor.

    Shame nobody can call him out on his hypocrisy to his face without being persecuted as a political rival.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
