Russia is such a hosed up country, it must be such a depressing place to live.

Its a good window on how the Right Wing want the US to be like, devoid of any regulations, corrupt as all gently caress and a military strong man as president. And all the gays locked up.

I do love how 52 billion dollars was spent on this, mostly going into the pockets of Putins friends.

Ironically, pretty much every comments section I've seen for articles on this has had a bunch of "hurf durf welcome to the future under OBUMMERS SOCIALISM"

'cause, you know, he hasn't turned America into the U.S.S.A in the last 6 years but by gum the next two is where it's all gonna come crashing down!

Yeah it was a discussion in the freep thread about how conservatives prefer Putin because he's a burly manly man who hates gays over sissy communist 0bummer.

It feels like years since the Krugman's been on Colbert/TDS.

The networks are really spinning this as "Look at how much better Russia is!!!" by showing miserable people in breadlines and Stalin. Yea, at least the Soviets would just put people into the grinder until things were loving done.

Yes. I usually watch them the morning after because 11pm is past my bedtime.

You also get the convenience of them putting the whole interview up at once too.

You don't necessarily have to be in the US, just any nation that doesn't have broadcasting rights in some way. I used the official sites fine without a proxy while I was in Malaysia and Taiwan over the summer.

On the recent Flophouse, Dan McCoy relates a story about how John Hodgemen came into his office. He assumed that becuase Elliot Kalan has moved on to head writer, he will be the one who will take the brunt of Hodgemen's bullying. Nope, Hodgemen came into Dan's office and hook the nerf gun he had there, to go to shoot Elliott in his head writers office.

And now all the SJW are going "You shouldn't mock Russia!!!!" because 52 billion and 7 years is not enough time to be prepared. And then Russians are mocking the western journalists for "not having vegan meals and organic cotton sheets" because that's what they are complaining about.

Man, SJWs really hate going after the real social justice issues. You know, like the oppression of gay people in that very country.

I do like seeing Gorby. I know that he probably won't last long, but it always just seems like he gives no fucks ever since he outlived Yeltsin.

I feel like I read somewhere that his dogs play with Putin's dogs (and that they're neighbors?), but I haven't been able to find that anywhere and it was probably just some random thing somebody said on SA five years ago.

Well, they see someone being mocked and have to jump to their defense. They also do point out that this is kind of endemic to what is happening in Russia due to the lack of any kind of regulations on any, BUT if Putin wanted to show that Russia was a world power, he failed massively.

Maybe too irreverent, considering the subjects, especially Gorbachev. Basically blustered Nikonov into a child's argument, I think Nikonov expected something a little more serious. I swear though, was he actually doing an American accent?

He might see my wife in the stands and while high on jazz cigarettes he'd want to rape her!

Also Peabody and Sherman has all the hallmarks of lowest common denominator kids movies, save Peabody rapping, which I'm sure is in the movie. There is multiple dance sequences in the trailer.

NBC's Olympic coverage is horrid, so that's saying something. I might watch hockey because it's my favorite sport and I like Doc Emrick, but there's no way Team USA medals.
