A+ headline. No notes.

I was about to report the post for editorializing the title, but nope: that's the actual article title lol

There's an interesting dissonance here; he praises Putin for being a strong leader, a good leader, but then he compares himself to Navalny. How does this even work in his mind? If Putin is good and strong, then surely Navalny should have been killed for opposing him, right? And where does that leave Trump, if he's like Navalny?

Now that is how you write a headline about that guy.

Now there's a headline you don't see everyday

The difference between these two men is that Navalny was never given any sort of due process.

Donald Trump has perhaps received more due process than any individual in the history of the nation. He walks free as a bird despite 91 felony counts, has had multiple court appearances where his legal team had ample time to present evidence to defend him, and has made extensive use of his right to an appeal in just about every judgement against him.

Trump losing in court isn't a grand deep state conspiracy, he's actually just guilty and really bad at presenting evidence to the contrary.

That man is insufferable.

"Wait, what? So you agree Navalny's prosecution was a gross violation of human rights?"

"Absolutely not. You look at what he did, okay? I spoke directly to Putin, great man by the way, what the press in this country has done to him is a terrible thing, absolutely terrible. He held on to power for 20 years in RUSH-SHA, you think that's easy? Putin assured me this man was a criminal scum, a rapist and treasoner and everything under the sun, and I believe him. Why wouldn't I? You have to put these things down with strength, very strongly. You look at what Xi has done in CHY-na, or what they've done in the Philippines, that's the way to do it. You have some guy who's going to get up and talk about treason? Boom, right to Siberia. I mean they say he died of natural causes, but who's to say? I tell you, I wish we could do that here. Maybe if I get elected, we'll be able to, but we'll see what happens."

"But didn't you say you're just like Navalny?"

"When did I say that? I never said that."

(Not that "Trump contradicts self" is news, but this one is especially severe.)

(Edit: The above exchange is fake, I made it up; I'm just making a point.)

We should refer to him as a convicted rapist all the time.

Seriously, every news outlet should refer to tiny d this way. Instead of "Trump" or, worse "President Trump" (ffffffffuuuuuck that), it should be "Rapist Who Wanted Vice President Dead". In every headline dealing with this human filth.

So much to digest in this article it's unreal (the comment below is AI generated and picks up everything in this weirdly laid out news site):

• Donald Trump compared his legal troubles to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's imprisonment and death in a Russian penal colony, drawing criticism for minimizing Navalny's plight.
• Republicans have touted claims by Alexander Smirnov about Biden corruption in Ukraine, but he has now been charged with lying to the FBI and admitted Russian intelligence helped him smear Hunter Biden.
• A transgender teenager named Nex Benedict was beaten at their Oklahoma school and later died, highlighting the dangers transgender students face, especially after Oklahoma's anti-trans bathroom bill.
• Yulia Navalnaya, wife of slain Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was temporarily banned from Twitter for unclear reasons after posting a video accusing Putin of killing her husband.
• Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, suggested women don't need abortions and that men should help carry heavy items like strollers instead.
• Christian nationalist figures like Russell Vought seek to infuse their ideology more deeply into a potential second Trump administration.
• E. Jean Carroll's lawyer hinted they may sue Donald Trump for a third time if he continues denying the rape and defaming her after being ordered to pay $88 million.
• Samuel Alito complained that people who oppose homosexuality are unfairly branded as bigots.
• Donald Trump was reportedly obsessed with punishing Snoop Dogg in his final White House hours over past criticisms.
• Hunter Biden's lawyers argue the investigation against him included factual errors like mistaking sawdust for cocaine.

I see where he gets mixed up: One person tried to sacrifice someone else's life trying to bring dictatorship to America, the other sacrificed his life trying to bring democracy to Russia. Easy mix-up to make.

P.S. I know Navalny was no saint, I just think that's not a very useful discussion to have right now.

The levels of derangement Trump can reach are simply astonishing.

clickbait title, but it's accurate, and actually not misleading 👍
