        That’s a little too crazy, but maybe one day I mean Presidents have been convicted of felonies and yet they still run for office. I mean shit people have ran for office while in prison. I think they still have to maintain some sense of decency, but you know, the Yankee Empire is one of the biggest cartels.

          Until we fix our justice system, it’s a dangerous road to say “you can’t run for president if you’ve been convicted of a felony”.

          The second sentence I have for that is: “Barring someone from a political position with politically motivated charges is a tool of a fascist government, the people should be able to decide who can be president regardless”

          But that didn’t turn it well for us this time around.

      […] among the numerous atrocities committed by General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin are […]

      We really should come up with a title for people who held a formal title but are pieces of shit. Or maybe just make it relevant, e.g. Convicted Felon and Twice-Impeached President Donald Trump, Disgraced Murderous Coward Adolph Hitler, Dictator And Dickbag Vladimir Putin, etc.

        I am also kind of frustrated with people’s perception of a dictator. If you look at Kim Jong-un he still answers to other foreign powers. Those powers are capitalistic, yet in his little container, I guess there’s some form of communism or socialism. Whatever that means nowadays. Also, Stalin had a collective leadership. Every dictator, or whatever, has an inner circle. That inner circle represents the titans of industry.

        You really need a historical lesson. I mean a real good lesson. Like I’m not saying Stalin was perfect or not, but you need to learn about American President’s. We need to learn about all the conflicts that we’ve been involved in. all the mass death and destruction that we have caused. I don’t know why you guys get so hard dicked about crying about Russia. Communism’s Dead Bro. All we have is worldwide capitalism in a world on the verge of destruction. This is the second Cold War bro with people betting on both sides with the weapons contractors providing weapons for both sides. There is like no good guy or bad guy. This is just… a economic opportunity.

      Frankly I appreciate the info. Definitely at least put the word former on there, but it’s good to know this probably isn’t some know-nothing schmuck. This is a man that probably has decent amounts of inside knowledge, as others are alluding to possibly friends aiding & abetting. He knows not only how to stalk & kill you, but also how to hide the body.

      This is good to know.
