This is why I read TNR. They never pull punches.

Seriously, every news outlet should refer to tiny d this way. Instead of "Trump" or, worse "President Trump" (ffffffffuuuuuck that), it should be "Rapist Who Wanted Vice President Dead". In every headline dealing with this human filth.

They both definitely wish/wished there were no muslims in their respective countries so they have that one in common.

The difference between these two men is that Navalny was never given any sort of due process.

Donald Trump has perhaps received more due process than any individual in the history of the nation. He walks free as a bird despite 91 felony counts, has had multiple court appearances where his legal team had ample time to present evidence to defend him, and has made extensive use of his right to an appeal in just about every judgement against him.

Trump losing in court isn't a grand deep state conspiracy, he's actually just guilty and really bad at presenting evidence to the contrary.

Of all the white privilege there is to have, tiny d does seem to have the bulk of it.

Another big difference is that Navalny was prosecuted and eventually killed for politics, and Donnie avoided prosecution for years because of politics.

Another is that Navalny was persecuted by a dictator while Donnie was indicted by juries of his peers.

Now that is how you write a headline about that guy.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 7 months ago

Seriously. I was confused at first. Nobody talks about him like that. So refreshing.

he’s basically the same as Putin critic Alexei Navalny

Braindead?
