We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

I guess he prefers weirdos who have themselves photographed half naked riding horses.

"Man-tits only!"

  • Putin, presumably

Shirtless horsing is best, helps forget former political enemies.

I think it's long past time for a serious international conversation about profoundly mentally ill politicians.

there is a charismatic russian with serious testicles attempting to run against putin. i remember reading this challengers name means 'hope' in russian, and he has a small chance of getting the signatures he needs to be on the ballot.

i would bet this is an attempt to discredit this specific individual

He isn't in prison.. yet?

Edit: It is suspected that the Kremlin occasionally allows opposition candidates, for a number of reasons: 1. It may be an attempt to show that elections are legitimate and Putin is not just running alone. Or. 2. It's a way to judge public sentiment or track regions and communities that are starting to oppose the government and Putin. At a minimum, it's an efficient way to help create targeted propaganda.

Sure. You can vote in Russia, but it's not for the reasons that you think.

He fall out of window on 13th of march, will be tragic, will be missed.

I'd like to know more about these serious testicles

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They watched a 5-movie Mel Brooks marathon without smiling once. That's how serious they are.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just wait until they see a version that is actually translated to Russian. That should make 'em crack.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Idunno, the beans scene in Blazing Saddles doesn't need any translation and they just sat through it without the slightest hint of mirth!

Don't question it, he might say something even more stupid.

I don’t really see how this is news honestly.

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

But Russian soldiers who blow each other in trenches is perfectly fine...go with what you know, I guess.

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 years ago

Putin is insecure about his ass confirmed probably a pinky in the pooper to cum type

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Weirdo in Chief pootin disqualifies himself

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Showing his whole ass figuratively by decrying people having fun parties involving literal bare asses.

The symmetry is as beautiful as the stupidity is painful.
