What the fuck could they do wrong? They took in poor Edward Snowden and broadcast only the truth on Russia Today. DUers were signing their praise before this. Oh wait, it turns out they were the devil. Whoops! Maybe DUers should stop promoting their "dear" network and their upstanding values.

The Olympic Committee massively fucked up by awarding the games to Sochi Russia. Russia won by six votes to Pyeongchang (South Korea) who will be hosting the 2018 games.
