    I think it’s long past time for a serious international conversation about profoundly mentally ill politicians.

      there is a charismatic russian with serious testicles attempting to run against putin. i remember reading this challengers name means ‘hope’ in russian, and he has a small chance of getting the signatures he needs to be on the ballot.

      i would bet this is an attempt to discredit this specific individual

        He isn’t in prison… yet?

        Edit: It is suspected that the Kremlin occasionally allows opposition candidates, for a number of reasons: 1. It may be an attempt to show that elections are legitimate and Putin is not just running alone. Or. 2. It’s a way to judge public sentiment or track regions and communities that are starting to oppose the government and Putin. At a minimum, it’s an efficient way to help create targeted propaganda.

        Sure. You can vote in Russia, but it’s not for the reasons that you think.

          They watched a 5-movie Mel Brooks marathon without smiling once. That’s how serious they are.

            Just wait until they see a version that is actually translated to Russian. That should make 'em crack.

              Idunno, the beans scene in Blazing Saddles doesn’t need any translation and they just sat through it without the slightest hint of mirth!

    Showing his whole ass figuratively by decrying people having fun parties involving literal bare asses.

    The symmetry is as beautiful as the stupidity is painful.
