Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: "There are so many pussies around the campaign on both sides..."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday offered an interesting take on the recently leaked tape of Donald Trump boasting that he could grab women "by the p---y" and kiss them without consequence because of his celebrity status.

"Russia had its own Pussy Riot moment. What do you think of Donald Trump's Pussy Riot moment?" CNN's Christiane Amanpour asked Lavrov in an interview.

She was referring to a Russian feminist punk rock band of which two members were jailed in 2012 for hooliganism, prompting a national debate about free speech, Russia's policing practices, and authoritarianism.

"English is not my mother tongue. I don't know if I would sound decent. There are so many p---ies around the presidential campaign on both sides that I prefer not to comment on this," Lavrov said.

"Oh my goodness, I wasn't expecting that," a stunned Amanpour said with a laugh.

Amanpour referred to Trump's "pussy riot moment," in which context I think it's clear that the definition of "pussy" given by her is identical to that given by the Russian minister - so why censor it?

and Trump. Those two nitwits had no idea what a real psychopath can do. They both still see themselves as alpha males all the while becoming putins marionettes, with strings and all. They may not see Putin controlling their thoughts and actions at all.
