Russian Arrested in Spain 'Over US Election Hacking' (bbc.com)
Spanish police have arrested a Russian programmer for alleged involvement in "hacking" the US election, BBC reported Monday, citing local press reports. From the report: Pyotr Levashov, arrested on 7 April in Barcelona, has now been remanded in custody. A "legal source" also told the AFP news agency that Mr Levashov was the subject of an extradition request by the US. The request is due to be examined by Spain's national criminal court, the agency added. El Confidencial, a Spanish news website, has said that Mr Levashov's arrest warrant was issued by US authorities over suspected "hacking" that helped Donald Trump's campaign.
Or to word it in a more objective way: over suspected "hacking" that help expose the corruption in Hillary's campaign.
good lord
"Old man yells at systemd"
Trump, not Levashov. Oh fuck it, put 'em in a cell together.
Let's assume they got all the DNC mail and released it. How was that hacking the election? Hacking the election would be changing votes in a database.
If someone finds out that a candidate murders babies, I would prefer they release it...and not be arrested for "hacking the election".
The only way "Hacking" affected the election was that things Hillary and the DNC said in private became public. So I don't think it makes a lot of sense to claim the election was really "hacked", it's just the more you know about what Hilary really thinks the less likely you are to vote for her.
In the same vein every major newspaper was trying for a year or so to "hack" the election with negative stories about Trump, most of which turned out to be false... so that was actually a lot worse than the Russians simply illuminating the truth.

There was no hacking of the US election. You might not like the results but the american people did that all by themselves.
As an american im always deeply concerned when our witch hunts proceed without so much as a ghoulish evil monster to subject to ye olde tribulations. After this, I suspect the good witch -- whos time it was to be elected to president because she did the mannequin challenge-- will prevail and righteousness will be restored to america.
Good people go to bed earlier.
The biggest hack to support Trump was to put Hillary forward as a candidate.
But her emails
Actually Nixed did not get ousted for having the re-election team break into DNC Headquarters and plant bugs.
Nixon got ousted for covering up the issue after he learned of it. Nixon did not direct it to happen. Nixon covered it up after the fact.
What? We FINALLY caught the Russians "RED" handed? Game over. The Russians should of kept their hands off the US election. Hillary would of won 90+ of the votes. It is time to Impeach Trump.
If its true, what makes what he did any different than what the USA does all the time in other countries? The difference is that the USA uses missiles to change another nations political power sometimes.
and find some common ground... like the fact that Hillary and The Donald are BOTH scumbags who don't deserve to be president?
I doubt this is about the DNC emails. This is most likely about the social media and email spamming before the election with fake news
Except "social media and e-mail spamming" isn't an indictable crime. Fake news isn't even a crime E-mail spamming is closest to being a crime, but the CAN-SPAM act has a specific exemption for political e-mail.
Breaking in to DNC servers and stealing the email, however, is a federal crime
that might have used stolen state election information.
First time I've heard this alleged. You have a source for that?
Oh yes. Now this is getting interesting. Anyone care to place a wager on how hard Fox News will try to spin this?
I read at +2. If your post doesn't reach that level I will not see or respond to it.
What ridiculous nonsense! Everyone knows Putin did it.
I am sure that there are many other solipsists out there.
There'sâ a big difference between a primary (where you are allowed to use almost any method you like to choose your candidate) and an election (where intentionally disenfranchising one candidate is not allowed). Apparently you don't know that difference.
Probably just as hard as BBC proposed it the way they did as a Trump conspiracy vs a Clinton scandal. Nothing new here.
and esoteric. It didn't even register with voters. OTOH there's evidence linking the Russians to the "Bernie Bros" campaign (not that folks don't love Bernie, he's the most popular politician in America today and for good reason). Then there's the mounting evidence that Russia hacked voter rolls and shared that data with team Trump. That sorta data is a gold mine beyond value and if true that more than anything would explain Trump's win.

Let's assume they got all the DNC mail and released it. How was that hacking the election?
If you actually read the article, it states "El Confidencial, a Spanish news website, has said that Mr Levashov's arrest warrant was issued by US authorities over suspected "hacking" that helped Donald Trump's campaign."
So there are two statements there.
1. Mr Levashov was arrested for suspected "hacking", and
2. this suspected "hacking" helped Donald Trump's campaign.
Breaking into the DNC computers and stealing e-mail is illegal. Period. This was done, plausibly, on behalf of Russia: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-...
Hacking the election would be changing votes in a database.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security report, Russia's goals were to "undermine public faith" in the US democratic process and "denigrate" his Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton, harming her electability and potential presidency. "We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-...
If someone finds out that a candidate murders babies, I would prefer they release it...and not be arrested for "hacking the election".
There was no allegation that Trump or Clinton murders babies. This really is changing the subject. It's the same argument that governments use to break into your computer: "think of the children! Maybe that computer we break into has child porn! Would you disagree that we need to stop child porn?" Breaking into computers and stealing e-mail is illegal. People who do that should be arrested. Nobody is murdering babies; saying "but what if they murder babies?" is not an excuse.
Dude, you got trolled. :)
And you act like this surprises you? But to be fair if the news was the same about the DNC or Clinton, then their supporters would be spewing crap too. A different crap, but crap still.
I read at +2. If your post doesn't reach that level I will not see or respond to it.
He's not being arrested for "hacking the election" he's being arrested because of other crimes:

The DNC stuff was minor and esoteric. It didn't even register with voters.
Are you nuts? It registered strongly with EVERY Bernie Sanders supporter. Search Twitter around that time and you'll find it was far from "esoteric" that Sanders had been ejected from the race by the DNC leadership.
Then there's the mounting evidence that Russia hacked voter rolls
Where is that exactly? The only effort ever put forth (by the Green party) showed no Russian involvement and resulted in a few more votes for Trump than were originally counted.
"There is more worth loving than we have strength to love." - Brian Jay Stanley
I'm pretty sure Donald Trump, and perhaps every other Presidential candidate in history, have said things in private that if they became public would result in them losing the election
Trump DID say something in private, that was made public also - the whole "grabbing" fiasco.
It would have ended any other candidate, and indeed many were sure that was the end of Trump. Even many Republicans said he should end his candidacy.
But EVEN with that, Trump still won because (on the whole) what Hilary did and supported was far worse than Trump, and voters knew it.
So Hillary and Trump were even as far as disclosure of private speech... and Trump still won.

It is still a shame that Nixon's resignation over shadowed his accomplishments while in office. He got the US military out of Vietnam. He visited China to personally open a diplomatic channel between China and the US. That action on his part kicked off the US's most successful regime operation in history. It brought China into the international trade and financial markets which changed them from a poor and inward looking Communist regime into one of the most capitalistic countries on the planet. China has not been a communist country for a long time no matter what they call their country. Nixon also created the EPA which has been one of the most successful government agencies since it was created.
There's mounting evidence that Russia hacked voter rolls and shared them with people involved with the Trump campaign.
No there's not.
I don't like the idea that a Russian propaganda machine helped choose our president. Maybe you feel different. Maybe you're one of those Russians.
Don't look now, rsilvergun, the ebil rooskies are hiding under your bed!
I for one am a Russian, and I frankly don't care who wins on american elections. It's obvious to me that this whole story is made up to whitewash Hilary's fuckups in her campaign that alienated people so much that they voted for the designated "joke candidate". However the very idea that associating something with Russians can automatically vilify it seems very insulting and ridiculous to me.
Hacked the voter rolls? Voter rolls are public information. There's even a website where you can buy them at 2.5 cents per name... voterlistsonline.com
yep. It's not like Trump paid this guy to do this, but the headlines sure make it sound like it.
Predictable baying of the hounds from the Hillary camp.
Too late to have any real relevance since there's been ample time to create fake evidence.
the irony is strong in this one!

Nixon got ousted for covering up the issue after he learned of it. Nixon did not direct it to happen. Nixon covered it up after the fact.
erm.. there's quite a bit more to it than that and it was very clear he had involvement from inception to execution and over up.. hoisted by his own petard ,his own recording were used as evidence and proved knowledge all the way from the start to the end.

yeah and that war on drugs he started.. that wasn't a total fiscal black hole at all was it? not a waste of time, energy, money and lives? Nixon was a twat
True. There are RNC/Trump supporters that spew crap, and DNC/Clinton supporters that spew crap.
However, there is a third group that are critics of both the RNC and DNC (and/or both Trump and Clinton). That group should be FUCKING HUGE right now. What the fuck people*?
I'm not certain exactly what this Russian is being accused of, but he's certainly not a whistle blower, and he's not being accused of being innocent. He's probably going to roll over on some people, and it's probably going to have negative affects on both D's and R's. Those detracting from the issue at hand might just be scared - shouldn't both sides be happy this guy was arrested (if he was actually guilty)?

"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever" -- David St. Hubbins, Spinal Tap
Yes but Trump has been quite ungrateful for Putin's decisive support during the election, not to mention Russian financial support of his businesses for many years. What kind of businessman is he to renege on a such a sweetheart deal from Putin?
He has yet to cancel sanctions against Russia. And he has yet to return Alaska back to Russia, which was illegally sold by the Emperer Alexander II against the will of the Russian people. Returning Alaska will also finally help prove that Sara Palin can actually see Russia from her house.
As a Canadian, if Trump does returns Alaska to Russia, I do hope that he also gives Hawaii to Canada in order to finally prove that Obama was not born in the USA. After all, Trump would not lie about Obama, and Canadian winters are too damm cold.
During the campaign Trump at various points said that he would end sanctions on Russia that are costing your economy billions of dollars (rubles) and recognize Crimea. The ruble has lost 45% of its value from the sanctions. These Russian scandals that have plagued Trump and that even most Republicans in congress do not seem to share Trump's opinions on Russia have likely prevented Trump's stances on Russia from going forward. If Trump succeeds in his pro-Russia objectives, you can't say that it wouldn't be good for you.
Billions of dollars is plenty of reason for Russia to have helped elect Trump.

This sort of rouse would ONLY be aroused by a TRUMP supporter.
Well, nothing else would be.
There's mounting evidence that Russia hacked voter rolls and shared them with people involved with the Trump campaign.
I hear many people say this, and no one will point to any actual evidence. Show some evidence, or admit you have nothing but paranoid ravings.
The theory being the data was used to target ad buys and campaigning. It would explain how Trump ran such a stellar campaign with so few resources.
Surely you can see how weak a case that is. Trump ran ads. People listened to the ads on both sides, and decided to vote. You want to override their choice because you allege that the choice of advertising market was optimized by someone you don't like. Even if that is true, Russia saved the Trump campaign some money avoiding running ads that that would have no effect. Are you seriously going to pretend that saving Trump a few bucks on ads is a reason to overturn an election?
I don't like the idea that a Russian propaganda machine helped choose our president.
The plot you alleged isn't even a serious issue, and you have no evidence it is true.
Maybe you feel different. Maybe you're one of those Russians.
Of course you assume anyone who disagrees with you is conspiring against you. It allows you to avoid listening to what they say, and realizing that you have no evidence for a conspiracy theory that makes no sense.
I genuinely hope you get the professional help you so clearly need. Until you do, please stay far away from a voting booth.
I think you are confusing the Clinton campaign with the Trump campaign. Clinton used targeted ad buys and voter rolls, Trump just tweeted insanity and was given billions in free coverage. That's why she lost, by deciding to pull resources from places where she lost by 20K, swinging the electoral college. But why would a 30 year veteran of public service understand the election process?
Why would Trump pay for anything he was getting for free from the media? I have heard anywhere from the low billions to trillions in free media coverage.
And this whole Russians hacked our election thing is going on way too long. Second paragraph of the unclassified report says it best - "there is no evidence that Russian agents affected the election"[paraphrasing]. So essentially, the DNC had crap security, lost control of critical systems, and somehow it is all someone else's fault.
And bonus points for equating the hacking of a private us company to the hacking of the US government.
--WooooHoooo--
Who cares what he said? People lie. Some campaign promises aren't enough to warrant supporting him with black ops. Sanctions actually support local industry by removing competition from foreign imports and Crimea's status doesn't matter as long as people aren't getting killed there.. The only issues with sanctions is that they're insulting.
Wow, now there's a bit of historical revisionism. Watergate was more than just a coverup, it also lead directly to the Oval Office as the source of the whole conspiracy, not merely just the coverup of the break-in. Any "exoneration" of Nixon comes from the fact that investigators could find no direct evidence that tied Nixon to the actual DNC break-in scheme. The whole matter of 18 minutes of erased tape has long been since as the smoke that lead to the fire that was Nixon's direct involvement in the entire scheme. We can never know for sure, but I can't imagine any reasonable person can draw any other conclusion than that Nixon and his senior advisers were all in on the break-in.

"When information is power, privacy is freedom" - Jah-Wren Ryel
Putin overplayed his hand, and misjudged just how recalcitrant Congress really is over Russia. Maybe Putin misjudged the US political system (he certainly wouldn't be the first Russian ruler to do that), and just assumed that Trump's cooing sounds and his installment in the White House would just erase seven decades of deep distrust between the Washington and Moscow. Maybe he knew it, but Trump was his best shot. Whatever the case may be, Trump is in a political position now where he has no choice but to pick up the anti-Russia stick and pound it loudly. The fact is that outside of a few Congressmen like Nunes, Trump actually has few real devotees in Congress, and it's clear Congress has absolutely no intention of permitting the Administration to jump into bed with Putin.
Enter Assad's gas attack, which gives Trump the cover he needs to basically switch teams. Whether it's a serious change of heart or not has to be seen, but I'm thinking that right now in the Kremlin Putin and his aides are actually generally worried that they may have aided an actual real-live warmonger to get into the Oval Office. And maybe that's not a bad thing. Russia has largely assumed since Putin's rise to power that the US is going to steer clear of any elevated tensions, and has seen itself able to do what it pleases from the effective seizure of South Ossetia to the out and out annexation of Crimea, and of course, going into Syria to make sure Assad stays in power regardless of any other circumstance. Now it actually has to wonder what the Command-in-chief of the most powerful military machine in history might do. For once, Putin is the one knocked off balance.

And lets not forget Uranium One Deal that got her a quid pro quo speaking engagement for ... Bill the alleged rapist.
But yeah, Trump is totally in the pocket of Russia. That's why Putin had Assad gas his own people (with Weapons that Obama said he got rid of) so that Trump could bomb them and claim they aren't buddy/pals (actual NBC conspiracy theory).
Clinton would have been so much better!

I have no idea how accurate this site is, but it shows where current fighting is taking place:

It seems like the current fighting is mostly concentrated in Donetsk, Crimea.

Enter Assad's gas attack, ...
And you have any proof that this was Assad's making? Assad would be very stupid if he would have been ordered or approved something like this at this point in the war.
Donetsk isn't in Crimea. It's deep in the mainland. Ukraine basically splintered like Soviet Union did before, and Crimea and Donbass(Donetsk is a major city in the latter region) are among regions that have splintered off. Russia has incorporated Crimea but didn't incorporate Donbass for some reason.
There was plenty of circumstantial evidence, and that's what nailed Nixon to the wall. It wasn't merely that he tried to coverup the Administration's involvement in the break-in, it's that there was enough *indirect* evidence, including the tape erasure (and the ridiculous explanation for how it happened) to point a finger pretty firmly at Nixon being at the heart of the whole affair. The kind of weasel language Nixon defenders always bring up was getting pretty old even by the time of his resignation. Certainly no one in Congress actually believed any of it.

The Administration certainly feels it does, including the radar tracking data showing where the attack originated from. But I get it, you've bought into the "Russia is a wonderful country and USA bad bad bad!"
Don't really care what you think. The ASsad clan have been murdering bastards for decades, and Russia, who was supposed to be the guarantor that Assad's chemical weapons were taken out of commission is left makign lame excuses about how some rebel gas cannisters got blowed up reall good.
Face it, Russia is on the losing end of this one, and Putin knows it, so cash your Kremlin checks while you can.

As for shilling, blind faith is far more powerful and wide reaching than a few cents per post. Being delusional doesn't make one a shill.
You know, at least during the eight years of "b-b-b-b-b-ut Clinton!"-ing during the Bush II administration, he had at least been the president. *Two dozen* Benghazi hearings. Dozens. What a joke.
Also, pay attention to "My primary beef with Trump is that HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE." which didn't factor into anything when Obama was elected. If it wasn't for double standards, some people would have none.
Obama was elected to the Illinois state senate in 1996, 1998 and 2002. He was elected to the US senate in 2004. His BA was in political science with a specialty in international relations. He graduated from Harvard Law magna cum laude and was the president of the Harvard Law review. He taught constitutional law for 12 years and worked as a civil rights attorney.
Yes, Obama had less experience than many presidents but compare that to Trump. No previous elected experience, no law experience, no previous interest in politics. The only item on his resume that even remotely resembles qualification to be president is a BS in economics from 49 years ago. What was that you were saying about double standards?

Sorry, you are correct. Thanks for the correction. I am terrible at reading maps in Russian. The news seems to talk about fighting currently in Donetsk, but the map on liveuamap also shows fighting still in Crimea.

The WAY that information was leaked about Hilary was somewhat timely, and metered out. There wasn't a dump of it.
So, here's what i don't understand. Trump kept saying the election was rigged - right up until the point where he won, then he suddenly claims it wasn't. Why wouldn't the Trump administration WANT to expose some kind of hack on the election? That would prove him right, and if Russia hacked her email server, then it would also prove his point about how much her email was a security threat for the nation. Then he could "put her in jail" as he promised.
And if Russia did influence our election, it was likely because Putin didn't want Hilary in office - not necessarily because Trump was involved in it. I never understood why Trump never took this stance. Instead, he did an about-face on it and pretends like they weren't involved to the point of defending them.
These things are all perplexing to me.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Probably just as hard as BBC proposed it the way they did as a Trump conspiracy vs a Clinton scandal. Nothing new here.
Why the hell would the BBC care? I thought the guidelines were clear: You had to hate on CNN the Clinton News Network, remember? That's what you are paid for, so don't dally around with that BBC nonsense.
Probably it's marked so on the map because they plan to attack it later after they'll be done with attacking DNR and LNR.
So it's OK with you that a foreign power hacked the systems of one of our political parties
Nope, not OK.
If it were a FOX reporter, I'd feel differently about it
Why? It's still not OK.
My assumption and hope is that reporters (collectively) go after both parties.
Even if that means using illegal means to do so? I want them going after both parties also.
However just because what was done was wrong, does not mean the outcome has to be bad. Just that the means to obtain it were wrong.
But I also place blame on the DNC and Hillary for shoddy security practices. However that goes right in line with why I wasn't going to vote for her to begin with which is why I say what happened was simply casting more illumination on what was already there - and already known. It just made more people aware.

What "fake evidence"? According to the article:
The fact that Slashdot can't bother to read an article before writing its summary isn't the GP's fault.
You don't exist. Go away.
This would not be the first time a major news outlet altered the text and headline of an article. Slashdot has been known to do it also.
Curious development.
~ People that think they are better than anyone else for any reason are the cause of all the strife in the world.
This is a sick version of the broken window fallacy, except that this time it's people instead of windows. Both are fallacies though.
Yeah, there's a lot more than the DNC hack alright. Like all of the witnesses they had to dig for during Benghazi, quite a few of which were never found. And of course there's that $9 Trillion which mysteriously grew legs, and walked out of the FED last September. Now there's a $500 Billion error in the books at HUD that Carson just found. The last eight years have been so ripe with scandals, it's disgusting.
But then we also had three straight stories from the NYT and Washington Post that they tried to use against Trump which had to be recanted in their entirety. Let's see if this is real, considering how every intelligence head in DC admits that there is absolutely no evidence that Russia tried to mess with our election in any way.
But what really ticks me off is the insinuation that I would let anybody tell me how to vote, considering that I had this one researched years ahead of time.
Naaaah. Shit is shit no matter how you look at it (or smell). It was just that Hillary was a YUGE pile that had a public and private smell.
The smug look on Putin's face when Trump was announced the winner clinched it for me. He knew exactly what the outcome was going to be.
And still he fucked up the international policy of this country, got an Ambassador killed, allowed ISIS to form and thrive, (drew many red lines in the sand though). Is that the international relations he specialized in? I think he may have skipped class too many times.
Why do you think it's either Trump or Hillary? Lots of us think they're both terrible people and horrible leaders. And they are. So we didn't vote for either, because once everyone gets on board the Two-Party-System-Is-Made-Up-Bullshit-So-Rich-Powerful-People-Can-Keep-Being-Rich-And-Powerful train and starts voting on who would actually be good honorable leaders for this country, then we can start to get this country back on track again. Until then we're going to be stuck choosing between the lesser of two evils every time.
This whole episode is pretty damn funny to me as someone that was in the American intelligence community years ago as a Russian specialist. Any honest person can admit that Russia is at best an Oligarchy and at worst a totalitarian state. Slowly, (very slowly) the Russian people are starting to figure that out and are becoming disgruntled. Russians however, are the masters of mass manipulation. This whole interference (and there was interference) was a plan to de-legitimize the democratic process that the US likes to brow-beat other nations with. This was a massive HUMINT campaign to call into question the "superiority" of the American system and tell the domestic population of Russia "Yes we have problems but so does everyone else." This is powerfully effective to the Russian mindset.
Here's the thing though: they expected for Clinton to win. The whole idea of delegitimizing the election process was to show Clinton as corrupt and that she won through cronyism and the power of the Washington insiders. That would be a major domestic coup for them while still maintaining the international status quo that (despite sanctions) has seen Russia's influence increase over the last decade. The Russian's were just as shocked as anyone to learn that Trump won. They never wanted that: He's too unpredictable. And now the responsibility for the clown show in DC is being laid at their feet and they are reeling to readjust to a complete political incompetent in the Whitehouse who can't make accommodations with the Russian because of the taint of the operation that helped put him in office.
Harasho tovarishi. Harasho.
and over what? the technically treason committed by a trump staffer?
kinda funny actually how americans are. just flip a coin and choose a side and then go inventing more and more crazy shit about the other side.
seriously, if someone should be put into prison it would be everyone sharing totally bogus and fake news, both sides, that you should with elementary school education know as fake.
the next elections are going to be reaaaally bad since there is now a precident that yeah, the party officials can post crazy shit about the other party without penalties of any sort.
the pizzeria debacle being a fine example. seriously, I wouldn't hire guys who re-posted that shit again and again as a janitor but you guys have those guys deciding about your taxes!(as a further note, if they really believed the pizza thing to be true, they should have been charged for believing a crime is happening and them not calling the cops about it - seriously)

Sorry, you are correct. Thanks for the correction. I am terrible at reading maps in Russian.
That's OK - Even Russian military have repeatedly failed to read their own maps, and accidentally wandered into Ukraine.
Trump did publicly ask Russia to hack Clinton's e-mails. His supporters didn't seem to care about him asking a foreign government to interfere with the election or the threat to national security having a foreign government hack a presidential candidate presents.
“I will tell you this, Russia: If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” the Republican nominee said at a news conference in Florida. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
He also said: "By the way, they hacked -- they probably have her 33,000 e-mails. I hope they do. They probably have her 33,000 e-mails that she lost and deleted because you'd see some beauties there. So let's see."

It wasn't merely that he tried to coverup the Administration's involvement in the break-in, it's that there was enough *indirect* evidence, including the tape erasure (and the ridiculous explanation for how it happened) to point a finger pretty firmly at Nixon being at the heart of the whole affair. The kind of weasel language Nixon defenders always bring up was getting pretty old even by the time of his resignation. Certainly no one in Congress actually believed any of it.
He was just unfortunate not to have a volunteer propaganda apparatus on the internet. He'd be fine nowadays. They'd just call the whole affair 'fake news' and move on.

And he has yet to return Alaska back to Russia, which was illegally sold by the Emperer Alexander II against the will of the Russian people.

Is that like being a little bit pregnant?
Why do you Nazis hate Jews so much?
The deep state wants to undermine the Trump administration so its can consult Ouija boards so to speak in the name of bipartisanship.
They think they can usher their agenda through secretly, but their secret allies are the dark lurkers of the occult.
I'm enjoying watching the Trump supporters bleed away as the man actually transforms himself into a President, and slowly evolves away from fist thumping populist.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Thats a trick question isnt it....
It doesn't show fighting in Crimea. it shows Crimea as an occupied territory.
There has been no fighting in Crimea since the occupation.
the bouquet of that Trump supporter is not ambrosia, even to Melania
You left out the millions of knee-jerk reactionary responses to ANY story with the word Russia in it.
It's even worse than Bush Derangement Syndrome, where Dubya was controlling the weather and all kinds of other crazy nonsense.

Please excuse my poor command of the language as I have only been studying it for three years. Americans, as a general rule, have nothing against the Russian people at all, it is only our idiot media and a few crazy leftists communists who make so much noise they appear to have power.

But what about the godless leftist communists in our own country? Why are they coddled?

No previous elected experience, no law experience, no previous interest in politics.
