What's Russian for 'Lie'?

As Russian as Smirnoff.

We observe in horror and astonishment Putin’s poisonous, preposterous, obvious lies. But we needn’t look eastward for that.

The e with two dots over it is always accented. Also, I recognize the "some of my best friends are Jewish" canard when I see it.

Have you considered the fact that the claim you have that people react emotionally rather than factually, might also apply to you as much as the people you're accusing of emotionally avoiding facts?

You seem to believe that only the people you oppose are thinking emotionally.

Any war is tragic. Who is the most humane killer? You are no Teddy Roosevelt. Why doesn't the US Govt. take Carlson down, they now have a department against false news? Wait till the next election you will be spanking your monkey and ejaculating a lot of vitriol, unlike what Teddy Roosevelt would do. You will have to fight to bring the other side down and stop your shallow words. That is what Teddy would do.

Blaming the victims of propaganda screams that blamers don't know how propaganda works. (And this too is great for propagandists.) At the risk of being accused of coining a cliche: Follow the Money. i.e. Follow the profiteers.

Thank you, Bob. You do good work.

No, I'm not. Because Trump, Carlson, and Putin are evil, dangerous monsters. Bye.
