s Anti-Corruption Foundation
...
The raid on the headquarters of Alexey Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) in Moscow comes after one of his allies was forced to serve in the army at a remote Arctic base.
A lot has been going on there the last couple of days, apparently

(81,192 posts)Bill Barr DID single out the Resistance in his speech to the Federalist Society. Dont forget that. Wouldnt surprise me if hes already got a few plans in place, just in case.
Thats why we HAVE TO win this. We HAVE TO. You know that old saying about - ... like your life depends on it? Yeah. That one.
Vote like your life depends on it. Because it DOES. Heck, people with health care issues already understand this, clearly.

(14,961 posts)I mean he takes out all other opposition, clamps down on most of the dissent in Russia. I realize some opposition is normal, like here before the GOP lost their damned minds.

(81,192 posts)But I think its a good thing. I think we all should be thinking this through, even to extremes. Because thats what Putin does. And trump as well. Their next move will ALWAYS be hmmm, what else could I get away with? How far can I push this? What else can I get?
With these bastards, its never enough. They have to dominate. They have to assert the alpha. They have to BE the Alpha. And as its said about all kinds of climbs up to the top, its not merely about getting to the top. Once you get there, you have to make sure youre able to stay there.
