The White House is mighty upset about this headline:
Russian court sentences imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny to additional 19 years
They sprang to action with this stern warming, something that must have Vlad Putin quaking in his boots:
Price also condemned the court’s “sham ruling” of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny Tuesday, calling it “the latest in a series of attempts to silence Navalny and other opposition figures and independent voices.”
Navalny was sentenced to nine more years in prison in a move that was seen as an attempt to keep Putin’s biggest foe behind bars for as long as possible.
The new sentence follows a year-long crackdown by Putin on Navalny’s supporters, other opposition activists and independent journalists in which authorities appear eager to stifle all dissent.
The 45-year-old Navalny, who in 2020 survived a poisoning with a nerve agent that he blames on the Kremlin, is already serving 2½ years in a penal colony east of Moscow for a parole violation.
This. Is. Rich.
The Obama administration, the Justice Department and the Biden administration have been targeting and imprisoning people surrounding President Trump for years, solely because they are political opponents.
How many people are in jail who protested and trespassed at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, mostly peacefully, in opposition to Biden winning the election? Many have been dished long sentences out of proportion to any crime committed and certainly in harsher terms than what the "Summer of Love" antifa rioters, looters, and firebugs got.

Well, at least Republicans are not being poisoned with polonium 204. Not yet.

“The United States strongly condemns Russia’s conviction of opposition leader Aleksey Navalny on politically motivated charges. The Kremlin cannot silence the truth. Navalny should be released.”
Biden was looking in a mirror. The woke government cannot survive without DoubleThink; believing 1 + 1 = 3 is absolutely essential.
Two hallmarks of the Left, both owing to irrevocable cognitive dissonance: No sense of humor, no sense of irony.
Some where along the line I wouldn’t put it past them to try to trade Trump for this guy. After all Putin and Trump are best pals, right? At least that would get Trump out of the USA and Navalny out of Russia. Win Win /s
The left is evil.
They simply refuse to see their own blatant hypocrisy.
In the meantime...Biden is doing ewverything to NOT put his opposition in jail...cuz it weould look bad. lol
The DNC is the party of hypocrisy.
Nah, our side just calls Hillary’s Accidental on Purpose dial up elimination squad and orders a quick hit.
Where is the Fox News chyron.....? 🤣
Who is the fox and who is the rabbit?
Well at least most of the replies are pointing out the hypocrisy. The pro-Biden posts are getting a lot of negative replies too.
It’s not much but at least it’s something
Rich indeed
It could read
Democrats court sentences imprisoned opposition leader Donald Trump to additional 19 years.
And, there is no doubt he's been bankrolled by Soros and likely is working with Deep State.
No. But occasionally shot at while playing baseball.
Still waiting for the Russians to jail 1000 people for visiting the Kremlin...
