Gays had better stay away from Russia in 2014 or they'll be arrested:

Russian lawmaker: We will arrest gay athletes, tourists at Olympic Games

I still like Russians that I know personally, though...

Oops, there it is!

Oh Dark Lord, we hear and obey!



If only it were that simple...

He'll come back when the horror that is Rand Paul is elected. Expect confetti and swooning...

Along with throwing old people out of hospitals. The newly sanctified NSA will hire him to shoot all leakers in the balls. The KGB is giving him lessons on how to properly aim a gun where the bullets will do the most good.

His image will be engraved on the Ron Paul gold coins issued by each state when the Federal Reserve and all amendments after the first two are repealed. Heck, the Constitution will be repealed as well, we'll go back to the Articles of the Confederacy.

After our new theocracy is accepted in the name of freedom and liberty for some, the 1% will pull back the curtains and rename the former USA as the Koch Kingdom. Get ready to bow to the nice men with the guns you've seen at the Rand Paul rallies. They will protect the freedom and liberty. Of some.

An absolute monarchy with none of those pesky voting rights or any others. Because we will all have to agree, and not have any say so as we do now. The new natural law will reign supreme with each one's social status to be assigned at birth. Tough if you're not one of the 'some' named above.

Pro, Infowars loves Putin. It's a libertarian thing, you wouldn't get it.

Best part of this was the florid writing from the Guardian. Gotta sell stuff.

This piece makes a lot of assumptions about what Moscow and Washington want. They are in denial that the world has moved on beyond their control.

They won't acknowledge that the USA and Russia have a LOT of ties now that will never be broken. From the familial level to the top levels in industry and aerospace, traveling back and forth, marrying citizens, moving, etc.

The Guardian is running with the latest media circus and peeved about their 'journalist' being expelled. Probably an arrogant asshat. The sense of entitlement oozing off the press, flying around and complaining of there not being enough booze on board.

Meh.

That's not what he's doing. He's lowering those paying 35% to 28% and those paying 0% to 28%.

Which is why the 1% media hates him. This is about closing loopholes that allow corporations to ship jobs overseas and pay nothing for Americans: It exactly the same strategy adopted by JFK, lowering the rate but cut loopholes for corporations. The revenue raised will go for infrastructure jobs of all kinds and education.

*snarls* Chamber of Commerce? *hiss*



Thanks for the fact check!

This is how the GOP Koch puppets are going to try to sell shutting down the government in October!

They can just:
