Legal action against Trump shows ‘rottenness’ of US politics, says Putin

“russian puppet master complains his puppet is being held to account”

It's low-key hilarious that any serious journalist would even bother to report this! As if anyone with a functional brain doesn't know what he's whinging about.

Yeah, Putinbro himself would never threaten a political opponent with prison. He just straight out DOES it.

You know, Putin might be onto something. Has anyone considered just shooting down Trump’s plane and reporting it as a freak accident?

Well if a corrupt dictator says that prosecuting corrupt politicians is wrong, then we obviously have to listen to him. There's no way he could be biased in any way

Birds of a feather

“Criminalizing criminals doing crime is corruption!”

I can see how he would think that given how all his political opponents tend to conveniently fall out of windows.

Maybe he's got a point? That point being we should take a page from Putin's playbook & just push his fat ass out of a 10th story window instead.

Project harder, Putin.

Oh Vlad, flail some more. Your psychology is so twisted you think an unjust invasion of a sovereign state is something the west forced you to do... or wait I mean, because it was full of nazis and out of the goodness of your heart you had to make it right... or um... pass the vodka.

After all the dick sucking trump gave to putin, this is the best he does to defend the traitor. Then again, trump isn't putin's friend or anything. He was just a stupid pawn in putin's game of shitty world chess.

Wow, what an amazing ally. I'm sure his comments will help Tump massively.

It would be like Darth Vader coming out in support of you, it's not exactly helpful to your argument that you're a diplomatically minded person is it?

It's not persecution (technically that isn't wrong I guess, but it isn't on the nose by a damned sight), Its pageantry, even in trumps case.

They aren't prosecuting sedition, treason, etc, they're prosecuting false statements essentially. Nobody gives a shit, because they're getting their stupid ass reality TV show out of it and that's all anybody ever wants out of it.

Trump probably could be legitimately prosecuted, but the whole thing is instead being treated a a political pageant. Our guys good, their guys bad...

It's actually a little more irksome in trumps case for me, because instead of pursuing what they've advertised as being pursued, they did a bait and switch (and people are still buying it...) and threw softball pitches at the fucker thinking there's a better chance of a home run that'll look better on TV. They aren't going for sedition, or incitement, or electoral fraud, they're going for "guilty on all counts" for the sake of good headlines.

Pageantry.
