QOTD -- "Our Agent Trump"

 

"Having gotten over their initial shock over the FBI’s search of Donald Trump’s Florida estate, Russian experts and pundits started to dismiss it as much ado about nothing, albeit a convenient tale they could use to smear American democracy. Now they’re singing a different tune. In the most recent broadcast of the state TV show Sunday Evening With Vladimir Solovyov, host Vladimir Solovyov remarked: 'I’m very worried for our agent Trump. They found everything at Mar-a-Lago, they got packages of documents. In all seriousness, they say he should be executed as a person that was ready to hand off nuclear secrets to Russia.'” -- Julia Davis on how Russian state media's Malignant Loser fanboys and fangirls are treating the walls closing in on their "agent" (doubtless a hamfisted attempt at trolling, but quite accurate, comrade!).  As Davis goes on to note, they go on bizarre rants mostly demonstrating how these Russians view America through their autocratic/ bigoted lens, and their impulse to try to directly influence American voters in the upcoming elections (yeah, we've already been there).  Interesting read.
