n Moscow, Russia, security services forced entry into the office of Alexey
@Navalny
’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

Navalny's office in Moscow raided by the police again, on the day when he hosts his weekly Q/A on YouTube. All equipment used to broadcast is expected to be taken away, his spokesperson says:

1. Modus operandi domestically and internationally.

Russians are consistent.

[olegramps]

30. This is a preview of what the fascist Republican Party and Fuhrer Herr Trump have planned for us.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. Is this the beginning of Mary Corleone's baptism?

[BuffaloJackalope]

3. And since the shitstain in the WH worships & idolizes Putin

When can we expect him to try the same to Democrats?

[calimary]

11. If, God forbid, trump "wins" again in 2020, I'd say all bets are off.

It’s already well-established that he’s a vindictive SOB.

[Kaiserguy]

15. I'm with you

all bets are off. I suspect that all Hell will break out if Trump steals another election.

[calimary]

19. I'm concerned that he'll start coming after people like us.

Bill Barr DID single out the Resistance in his speech to the Federalist Society. Don’t forget that. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s already got a few plans in place, just in case.

That’s 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.

[AtheistCrusader]

21. Maybe we should invest in steel doors.

[dewsgirl]

33. I've been reading a bit about data collection lately, and am

starting to worry a bit about this very thing. All of our social media, Netflix history, Google, etc..they could be building quite an anti-Trump/Resistance profile on each of us.

[Lucky Luciano]

20. I doubt it. The people will continue to be docile.

We definitely don’t protest like the French.

[LiberalArkie]

22. I expect to to win again and the run after that with someone else as President and Trump

as Vice President

[calimary]

28. Hmmm... not sure he'd ever accept the "second-in-command" position.

His image never included understudy. Even when he was “son-of.”

His ego knows no bounds.

[LiberalArkie]

29. Wasn't that how Putin did it since he was term limited?

[okaawhatever]

43. yes. nt

[C Moon]

39. I was thinking about that months ago. He would resign, Pence take over, Trump be VP.

Don't know if that's legal after resigning, but it seems like the kind of thing the GOP would try.

[DFW]

46. Nixon tried to legitimize it

If he had had Fox Noise at the time, he might well have succeeded.

[Merlot]

4. Alexey Navalny is one very brave person

[dewsgirl]

5. He sure is... I often wonder why Putin, allows him to go on?.

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.

[Merlot]

6. Possibly putin fears creating a martyr?

[Dennis Donovan]

7. that makes sense. Putin's no slouch in the misinformation game. n/t

[calimary]

10. These are good questions. I swear, we're all forced to play the proverbial three-dimensional chess.

But I think it’s a good thing. I think we all should be thinking this through, even to extremes. Because that’s 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, it’s never enough. They have to dominate. They have to assert the alpha. They have to BE the Alpha. And as it’s said about all kinds of climbs up to the top, it’s not merely about getting to the top. Once you get there, you have to make sure you’re able to stay there.

[erronis]

17. Americans love checkers or Crazy-8's. Russians love chess. For far-thinking capabilities,

unfortunately, I'd bet on the russkis and lots of neural-network/AI gaming software.

And trumpf is just a pwned pawn.

[Anon-C]

27. Perhaps at this point, but it would be nice if Boris Nemtsov

... were alive to speculate.

[dewsgirl]

35. ....😞

[Roland99]

45. Good point

[roamer65]

38. Pootie risks harder sanctions if he takes out all of the opposition.

[dchill]

8. Coming soon to a country near you!

[oldsoftie]

9. Why does it look like a large crowd of "regular" people just hanging around out there?

It looks like a mall.

[Saviolo]

16. I think that's a mirror.

You're seeing all of the people in the office reflected as they watch and film the door being cut through.

[oldsoftie]

42. Ahhhh, I see!! Thank you

[benld74]

12. Just another day for Putin,,,

[marble falls]

13. Process research for Trumpelinski future bag o'tricks.

[RockRaven]

14. Well, now that they've tested their "disconnect our internet from the rest of the world" device

I suppose there is no point in pretending even the tiniest bit.

[Ferrets are Cool]

18. We all know who is getting his "people" to make notes

[cp]

23. Navalny has enormous courage

As do his friends. He's gone after the oligarchs and shined light on their activities.

[BootinUp]

24. Enemies of the State per Trumps boss.

[superpatriotman]

25. K&R

I don't know what to believe re Russia news. Which is the most reliable news source?

[Leghorn21]

31. Can you read tweets, man? If so, these are my go to people for Russia news:

https://mobile.twitter.com/Kasparov

https://mobile.twitter.com/Billbrowder

https://mobile.twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews

They all know whereof they speak, 100%

[duforsure]

26. trump will do this if he's illegitimately elected again

Using Barr and made up claims and excuses to go after all opposition, and anyone who threatens him with exposing him.

[ck4829]

50. He will

[Leghorn21]

32. If you could measure the courage of this man against that of the entire gopee population, their

combined total wouldn’t even be one eighth of a half of a hundredth of a milligram

***HANG TOUGH, MR. NAVALNY***



RESPECT

[SunSeeker]

34. K & R for exposure.

[Roy Rolling]

36. The Same Question

“How long will this go on?”

Right up until the last person gives up on the belief “one day, I will be rich like Trump, too.”

[ck4829]

49. Yep

[lees1975]

37. They have to be more subtle about it here

But you can bet that we're going to go through the whole "rusher thing" again. Hope our FBI and CIA are still on their toes and heightened alert.

[saidsimplesimon]

40. Your post reminded me of one

from 2017. It's a Randy Rainbow Parody, Putin on the Ritz. Coming to visit US elections in 2020? Lots of important, in the know folks, are raising the Beware warnings. This is not CT.

41. Fuck head is no doubt taking notes

[Karadeniz]

44. So Watergate would be legal there and Trump thinks Nixon gave up too easily. He should've kept

Denying everything. Trump thinks Watergate should be fine. Trump places himself squarely where he belongs.

[Roland99]

47. And THIS - Turkey is following suit. Charging opposition journalists with terrorism
