"Must be a Board Meeting."

Had to look it up: “An act of throwing someone or something out of a window.” Makes sense. A fenster is German for ‘window’. I prefer, ‘Yank Yankina outta da winda’.
I wonder when we will find out what happened to all the inspector generals who pen-whipped readiness reports prior to the conflict. I suspect they were lined up against a wall.
Say what you will about Russia, but they know how to decisively deal with corruption.
"Must be a Board Meeting."
Thank you, you have bolstered my belief in my fellow freepers.
Defenestration runs deep in Russia.
What happens in Russia when you do not have wings and steal from an account of someone higher up than you.
“Sixteen floors and what’ya get...”
By the time she reached the tenth floor, Marina Yankina clearly understood the gravity of the situation.

And then realized she had no wings ...
Watch out! That midget’s dynomite!
Hillary! has been busy these days! Raising cash for another FAILED Presidential bid? LOL! *SNORT*
Both words - the English "to defenestrate" and the German "Fenster" - are derived from the common Latin root, fenestra.

It might just be that she learned of Putin’s plans against the West slated for after February 21.
WIKIPEDIA >>>
Defenestration (from Modern Latin fenestra[1]) is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window.[2] The term was coined around the time of an incident in Prague Castle in the year 1618 which became the spark that started the Thirty Years’ War. This was done in “good Bohemian style”, referring to the defenestration which had occurred in Prague’s New Town Hall almost 200 years earlier (July 1419), which also on that occasion led to the Hussite war.[3] The word comes from the New Latin[4] de- (down from) and fenestra (window or opening).[5]
By extension, the term is also used to describe the forcible or peremptory removal of an adversary.[6]
Origin
The term originates from two incidents in history, both occurring in Prague. In 1419, seven town officials were thrown from the New Town Hall, precipitating the Hussite War. In 1618, two Imperial governors and their secretary were tossed from the Prague Castle, sparking the Thirty Years’ War.[7] These incidents, particularly that in 1618, were referred to as the Defenestrations of Prague and gave rise to the term and the concept.
The word itself is derived from New Latin defenestratio; with dē meaning “out” + fenestra meaning “window” + -atio as a suffix indicating an action or process.
“c’mon Parky”
Putin is taking lessons from the Clintons!
The building in the photo is 9 stories, which would be about 95-100 feet
Also the French; fenetre.
Looking at the photograph, it appears she fell 16 floors from a 10-story building.
Try telling that to Vince.
