Purest Propaganda BS

 Youtube is full of posters, INCLUDING Putin himself, excoriating Tucker Carlson after his interview of Vladimir Putin.

This item is typical ranting about all kinds of things but does mention Alexei Navalny

TYT re Lex Friedman on Tucker Carlson


RantWoman popcorn Kernel about He of The Terrible Fake Tan and Alarming Hair Thingie claiming he is being persecuted LIKE NAVALNY.


Dude, 


STOP pretending you have ANYTHING in common with Alexie Navalny.


Your cheeseburge and ketchup diet is not that good either for you or for the planet but you have not been poisoned and nearly died. 


Sorry not sorry you have no time to golf right now because of all your court dates, but no matter how many voices would be happy to send you to prison, NOTHING the US prison system can dish out will equal Russian arctice prison. And for better or worse, you at least are PROBABLY too old to get routed into Russian mobilization for the STUPID "special military operation" meat grinder in Ukraine. 


So COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.


Sincerely,


RantWoman.


PS: RantWoman feels obliged to hold you somewhere in the Light and RantWoman will do the best she can not to singe that hair thingie on your head.


PPS. May God have mercy on all our souls.

Denmark, people Denmark!

#Ukraine #GOPClownShow

RantWoman leans toward Dial-a-Tirade about many things to do with weapons shipments to many different places. It's too late at night to be coherent so RantWoman simply offers two videos, along with this tart comment: RantWoman hates a whole bunch of things about the current foreign aid bill. HOWEVER, RantWoman can see the point of a discharge petition to get it moving in the House. And if getting the bill moving accidentally results in yet ANOTHER Vacate the Chair motion, oh well.

Hero Lawrence O'donnell: Fani Willis' dad fought Trump team's theory to have her removed

#BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMonth2024 #FaniWillis

This is by far not the strongest or most piquant video about the Atlanta court hearing into possible financial conflicts of interest on the PROSECUTION side of the Georgia #J6insurrection RICO case starring #DonTheCon and numerous co-defendants.

This post is mainly intended as a placeholder, a nudge to remember all the moments, both proud and outrageous making the two-day hearing..

'Democratic superhero': Russian journalist reveals letter Alexei Navalny...

This post is more an expression of personal rage, grief, outrage than any kind of comprehensive compilation of tributes.

It is also a gesture of solidarity with everyone working to make Russia a more democratic country with a stronger tradition of the rule of law, everyone daring to fight the toxic disinformation idea that there is no point in trying to fightcorruption because it is inevitable.



"Stop crying. Take a shot of vodka and get back to work.:
Look, RantWoman absolutely CAN and DOES fight authoritaarianism whenever possible without vodka.
RantWoman, when around the Russian custom of drinking shots of vodka, is to dilute the liquor as mucha s possible.
