To be bumped in 2018.

(I don't think this mess is gonna be cleaned up in time to unseat an incumbent.)

Congratulations to Gennady Zyuganov for finishing second and Vladimir Zhirinovsky for finishing third.

Of course he was elected. He got 102% of votes cast. Another fair and free election.

Does Russia have term limits? I don't think so, Vlad is going to be president for life.

That's interesting, because in most democracies, presiding over a "mess" typically means you don't get re-elected.

No doubt one of the top 3 best things which could possibly happen in the world today is if a .338 Lapua Magnum introduced itself to Comrade Vlad's glabella.

The note was lying on his desk as Comrade Vlad entered his office alone. Picking it up, he continued toward the twin doors, opened them, and stepped out upon the veranda. Vlad loved this time of year at his dacha; just the view of the seemingly endless forest of towering pines made the long, long trip from the Kremlin completely worth it.

Looking down, he read the note:

мы очистить наши собственные

Wtf, Vlad thought as he raised head at the exact moment the .338 Lapua Magnum said hello to his glabella.

Hours later at Langley, the President had just arrived. Now seated securely alone with the Director in his office, she asked him, "So, what did it say?"

The Director silently handed the President a sheet of paper and watched as she reached out her hand to take it from him, pulled it back to herself, and then lowered her head to read it.

We clean up our own.

Raising her head, the Director would forever be quoted as describing what he observed next: "I have never seen a more naturally horrified look on anyone's face in my life."

Some people wish for the old ways.

You have absolutely no evidence that it wasn't.

Russian elections are much cleaner than US elections and they have international auditors to sign off on it.

But you're a racist American exceptionalist so facts don't come into it.
