Right, because we are just like Russia, ruled by a despot since 1999. Okay

Irrelevant. The time frames are different, and the names are changed, but can you honestly say American elections are fair, and that our judicial system is not weaponized?

I assume you've been paying attention since 2020.

The leader of the Proud boys got 22 years in Federal Prison.

Like I said to another FR poster, I don’t care what happens in Russia.

All we have to do is look at how Biden and Justice Department are treating Trump to know how our government handles when they feal threatened by a political opponent.

Substitute Putin for Trump in your post and it would accurately describe what’s happening in the USA.

You aren’t a lumberjack or voyageur Canadian. You’re a post WWII Uke immigrant to Canada. Just another Uke shill.

"Names are changed" and what about Trump being elected?

Saying that since we have election/judicial issues makes us just like Russia or China is ridiculous.

Sure, why would anyone care about Russia's "internal politics" when the leader controls thousands of nuclear missiles aimed at the US. Okay

All you can possibly claim is that we are earlier in the cycle. Otherwise, you are clearly not paying attention -- neither to exactly what I write, nor the political climate in America.

You need rest.

A 'tread' will pop up, and several assertions will be made, and I will point out the rank hypocrisy of the poster therein.

Get some sleep.

Funny things is people are overlooking the same behavior inside the USA and keep posting about it.

Have you bothered to check on the current President’s chief political opponent?

Because in many cases our internal politics are just as bad.

Is Trump getting any better treatment than Alexi Navalny.

Funny how you leave that part out.

It boggles the mind.

It is equivalent to the rapist who is just beginning in his career, criticizing the long-term habitual rapist for his sexual assaults.

Right, so you can only criticize foreign despots if your countries elections are perfect? Okay

srmanuel, I'm starting to suspect that tlozo is a 'bot.... and not a particularly well-programmed one, either.

It keeps on spitting out the same answers when confronted.

I see little point in arguing with a 'bot.

Funny thing is I can criticize Trump's treatment AND Navalny's. Your the one that has this crazy idea that we are not permitted to comment about Navalny.

You’re the only person using the word perfect, it would be nice if weren’t doing the exact same thing Russia is doing, Okay.

How different are the 1/6 prisoners and Donald Trump getting treated than Alexi Navalny ??

To me it looks like they are getting the same treatment.

While we are at it, we have election fraud threads getting started on FR just about daily, in many places around the USA our elections are just about 3rd world.
