A Russian close to Putin has died of poisoning.

Guess she lived in a bungalow.

Zoya Konovalova, the head of one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's state TV channels, has been found dead after a suspected poisoning incident, officials said.

Konovalova, 48, editor-in-chief of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Kuban, was found alongside the body of her ex-husband, 52, at a home in the Krasnodar region on January 5.

1. Being a friend pf putin's has a short life expectancy

2. It is what happens when you displease a dictator. We should keep that in mind.

13. The oligarchs funding the GOP should keep it in mind, as well.

Do they really want the US government controlled by an unstable, spoiled child?

Do they really want to give up their privileged position at the top of our economic ladder in order to be held to the whims of a dictator?

5. TFG's pal again. I have to wonder if Trump was caught after eating half his typical big mac meal,

and someone just happened to casually say that the meal was on his "best pal, Vladimir Putin" how intense the look of horror on his face and how quickly he'd manage to bring those bites back up. Hmmm. Clearly, Trump thinks his public adoration and laudatory comments toward Putin give him a "cloak of invincibility," but...

6. One story bungalow

Yup

10. Do we see these "accidents" happening to TFG's opponents if he ..God Forbid.. gets elected in 2024?

Is this country really that blind and that stupid?

11. Let the night of the long knives continue!

12. Maybe it's not Putin

Maybe it Putin’s opponents taking out his cronies. The last two suicide/accidents weren’t people that appeared to be on his bad side.
Maybe this is a soft rebellion against his Fascist circle.

14. ...

Not real, but still funny

[peggysue2]

15. Interesting

I read a couple days ago that Putin is attempting to distract the world in any way he can because of the rising tide of anarchy within Russia. The Ukraine war is widely unpopular; there's a deep sense of war fatigue and resentment. In addition, there have been saboteurs taking the opportunity to 'blow things up.' Certainly, assassinating Putin's handmaidens would be another step in that direction on the heels of Putin's announcement that he'll seek reelection (reinstalment).

Strange, strange days!
