A serious question: Does anyone in Trump-world truly recognize that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a murderous thug and truly resent the absolute fact that Putin’s regime made a massive effort to influence the U.S. presidential election?
If we needed any reminder of how horrid Putin’s thugocracy is, we received it in Sunday’s news that his regime made Russia’s own March presidential election even more of a sham by arresting Putin’s most vocal foe. The Kremlin already had used “corruption” allegations to disqualify opponent Alexei Navalny from the presidential ballot, but even that wasn’t enough for this dictatorship: When the reformist Navalny organized protests in favor of an election boycott, the police state threw him to the ground and hauled him away for demonstrating without a permit.
