    Ruh-roh! Looks like the American Pravda and their stable of authoritarian propagandists outstanding patriots are kaputski. I wonder if Rupert just felt someone walking over his grave? whistle_zpse7930712.gif

    The first I've ever heard of them, perhaps CNN can follow them?

    Until recently, I just accepted that Putin was a cold-hearted killing machine with no human characteristics that are considered "weak" but now it's panning out that he isn't all that smart. I've never held public office but I'd like to think that the people that do could sort out some of these details on their own.

    He may have underestimated Zelinsky because he isn't a career politician but he seems to be a formidable opponent that just won't capitulate. However, even outside that, why does it seem that Putin didn't plan for **any contingencies**? An effective leader always has a few back-up plans or is this part of the big hustle and things are going the way he wants them to?

    Know thy enemy.

    I was sad to see this, as I did like flicking over to RT and getting their perspective, however stupid or propagandistic it was.

    Bad news .. how are folks going to know the difference between what is propaganda and what is not without RT ? Where will folks go to get the other side of the story .. and last .. where will US dissidents go to get their voice heard (which is about 50% of what RT did).

    A sad day for the Truth this is.

    We still have Russian TV here in the US. We just call it Fox News

    Laura Ingrahm said yesterday that the US Seizing property in the US from Russian Oligarchs was "Unconstitutional".....

    Yes, you read that right ;)

    Ingrahm is correct .. You don't get to cherry pick who gets constitutional protection and who doesn't -- and call yourself a believer in freedom.

    Without RT and Fox -- where will you go to get the other side of the story .. the other side of the State Sponsored Propaganda on CNN?

    Do you believe that "illegal" aliens are entitled to constitutional protection?

    No its not.

    An arbitrary "search" is illegal, not the seizure. And these "searches" of their finances have been legally accomplished.

    So you do pick and choose it seems.

    It seems like some people are more concerned about protecting the rights or rich people to me.

    Great line!! I'd consider using that as my signature for awhile, but I still have to use Zelensky while he's still alive...

    Comrade Ingraham needs a few weeks in her luxury gulag for some reeducation.... err....... base education....

    What am I picking and choosing .. "Equal Justice Under the Law" means .. applies to everyone .. you are the one who wants to pick and choose who it applies to .. so don't be projecting your failings onto me mate.

    You have a problem with a billionare's yacht being taken by the government, but apparently don't mind it when the government takes an "illegal" immigrant's child from them.

    I havn't mentioned illegal immigrant children .. why are you making up nonsense and attributing to me. And yes .. I do have a problem with Gov't taking things from people in violation of the Rule of Law -- Principles of Justice.. The question here is .. What's your problem ?
