just like the Spencer punching which keeps happening. It is straight out of the Russia playbook, first go after the media and bombard the populace with so much propaganda they can't tell which is news and which is real, so they will ignore the media, which means they ignore what happens w/gov't altogether, then go after protestors like Pussy Riot, lock them up for years and make everyone terrified to protest.

Every freaking thing this man is doing is coming straight from Russia, he couldn't shine his own shoes by himself. It is sickening to me that red/white/blue republican 'patriots' are letting him get away with it too.
