Talking about real low-life scumbags has anybody see any LNP deviants lately?

No, but there's a Mr Opinion popping up whenever there's an opportunity to be opportunistic !

Hi Mr O,

Putin knows what lies ahead for him and he
will do everything to safeguard himself.
Autocrats are defeated by coups, revolts,
or as you point out they get shot (or go to jail).

Eenie, meany, miny, moe. Wide choice.

Has anyone read the journalist Masha Gessen's book
about Putin, "The Man Without a Face?"

Foxy,

Have you had a look at Putin's face?

How many times do you reckon he's been under the knife?

"The Man Without a Face?". The Man With Too Many Faces would be more like it.

I tend to see him more as The Man With The Blood Of Dead Children On His Hands. Or just low-life scumbag if you prefer.

Actually, I think he would be a big hit with the LNP deviants.

Democratic trends in Russia?
Foxy,
Won't happen, at least not while they're the most stable they've ever been !
