Posted in: Putin has no successor, no living rivals and no retirement plan – why his eventual death will set off a vicious power struggle See in context
Gallup polling of Russians shows higher confidence in their elections than Gallup polling in US of their elections.
Utterly meaningless when opposing voices are routinely silenced and opposition leaders are murdered or imprisoned under Putin.

I thought the right hated rigged elections- must depend on who’s doing it, I guess. They love dictators so much! Mr "the constitution lets me do whatever I want" and "I'll be a dictator for one day" wants to be Putin- so they’re stuck applauding an avowed anti-western, anti democratic murderer whose stated purpose is the resurrection of the USSR- democracy be damned.

Trump started his Georgia rally by mocking and imitating the President’s lifelong stutter yesterday-
I'm gonna bring the country t-t-t-t-t-together," Trump said mockingly. "I'm gonna bring it togetherrrr."
A venal, cruel, narcissistic individual- I would hesitate to use the word ‘man’.
Keep talking about disrespect- he has disrespected dead and wounded veterans, women, non whites, whites with the wrong cultural pedigree and the physically disabled.
Those who continue to defend him are beyond contempt.

It's rather satisfying watching the rubes talk about how much they love getting bled dry by a 'billionaire' to pay his legal fees- now the grifter is after the RNC coffers, too. They still haven't worked out it's a cult. But keep mentioning that poll that made you feel good-the Dems will keep stacking away money for the campaign, which by the way, hasn't even started yet.

Trump's not winning new voters, he just keeps doubling down on the same old election lies, unpopular decisions like Roe vs, Wade, and is up against Biden's booming economy. He even managed to screw up the border issue by demanding his minions kill the popular and effective bipartisan bill. The GOP hasn't won more votes than Dems for 20 years, and they've failed in election after election with Trump, the perennial criminal loser.

Trump doesn't believe in US Govt. Deep State led global destabilization polices(sic)....,
The 'Deep State' boogeymen Trump and his cronies are still banging on about are the people who refuse to commit crimes at his behest- many of them appointed by Trump himself and later disavowed for doing their jobs and not pledging personal fealty to him. He openly called for parts of the Constitution to be 'terminated' while pushing his election lies. He already had 4 years- he failed.
not transactional destabilization
Transactionalism is Trump's defining characteristic, and chaos follows whenever he opens his uninformed mouth.
The right is always telling us to disbelieve what we've seen with our own eyes.

The National Border Patrol Council — which represents more than 18,000 agents — said the bill would “drop illegal border crossings nationwide and will allow our agents to get back to detecting and apprehending those who want to cross our border illegally and evade apprehension.”

Congressional Republicans had been largely pleased with the resulting deal. The conservative Border Patrol union endorsed it, and Biden and Republican negotiators repeatedly signaled their joint optimism that a deal would be reached. But it all unraveled after Trump signaled his opposition.
Trump said in a recent campaign rally he’d take the blame from senators for the bill’s collapse..
Good luck selling that.

But but everybody does it! Try this defense next time you get caught for speeding.
The only thing any of you really care about it if will prevent Trump from running
I hope he does run- he’s a much weaker, compromised candidate than Haley- especially since he instructed his minions to refuse any action on the border problems to try to bolster his chances.
