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

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
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?
Braindead and a flaming nationalist?
