This kind of stuff happens only in Russia. It could never happen in the United States!



Here's some of the juicy quotes:


The fierce Kremlin critic and opposition leader Alexei Navalny is in a coma as doctors fight for his life after he was poisoned Thursday morning, his spokesperson said.

The 44-year-old foe of Russian President Vladimir Putin felt unwell on a flight back to Moscow from Tomsk, a city in Siberia, Kira Yarmysh said on Twitter.

"The plane made an emergency landing in Omsk. Alexei has a toxic poisoning," she tweeted.

at this stage I am just hoping Trump doesn't get in again.  How long til the elections?  Do you think there's going to be a big turn out in an effort to vote him out?

The election will be November 3, 2020. Not too far away.

A big turnout?

Hard to say with the pandemic. I vote by mail, so it won't be a problem for me. But, if I had to stand in a socially distanced line all day long, I might not be so patriotic.

Also, keep in mind that the popular vote doesn't mean anything in the US. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million, yet due to the Electoral College BS she lost to Trump by small margins in only 3 key critical States.

I'd be delighted and surprised if Joe Biden wins due to the conditions aforementioned. However, I'm getting ready for another 4 years of Donald Trump. It will be hard psychologically to have Trump rule for another 4 years.

Pools are showing the Senate going blue and House staying blue, therefore even if sTrump manages to steal another election, not only does a SECOND IMPEACHMENT LOOM, conviction may well happen!

Danger looms as he is capable of WW3 rather than give up power.

yes, as relatively sane and normal people we look at these crazy people who elect themselves as our leaders and really all you can think is how can we survive them.

the aborigines here have a strong tradition of elders - the elders of the tribe are the leaders.  And on the one hand it is a real and excellent system where an elder is not just older but also has the character to have gained the trust and respect of all the tribe.  And on the other hand there were tribes who had laws like all the young women had to marry an older man first before they could have a love match and you just know something's gone wrong in the leadership process.

How sick is this country? Not only has the GOP become the QAnon party, ELECTION POLL WORKERS are receiving DEATH threats! These people are volunteers, mostly seniors and risking their lives due to COVID-19  for people to exercise their Constitutional right to vote!

I have been saying for a couple of years that The Donald doesn't surprise me anywhere as much as his "devotees" upset me.

sorry to hear about the death threats - that's awful.

suddenly November seems a long time away - hope it goes okay.  America is one of the last places I'd imagine becoming politically unstable, wishing your people well.
