MOSCOW — A wave of unsanctioned rallies swept across Russia on Sunday to protest corruption in the government of President Vladi*mir Putin, in a nationwide show of defiance not seen in years, one the Kremlin had tried in vain to prevent with bans and warnings.
One of the first detained in Moscow was the chief architect of the rallies, Alexei Navalny, who called on people to protest in the wake of his allegations that Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has amassed vineyards, luxury yachts and lavish mansions worth more than $1 billion.
By Sunday evening, riot police in body armor and helmets had hauled in more than 700 demonstrators in central Moscow, as the crowd, numbering in the tens of thousands, cheered, whistled and chanted, “Shame! Shame!”
Later, as scores of riot police filled the square, the message became more strident.
“You are participants in an unsanctioned demonstration,” the voice intoned. “Consider the consequences.”
“Shame, shame!” screamed the young people. “Shame!” a small group of pensioners chimed in.

I picture you as a robot just sitting there spewing information on a blank text screen for some reason. No emotion, no feeling, just a data bank of bullshit.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been jailed for 15 days for resisting police orders during mass protests on Sunday
Mr Navalny was one of hundreds of people who were detained across the country in connection with the rallies.
Official Moscow has dismissed Navalny, who has said he will run for president in 2018.
Mr Navalny later repeated accusations of corruption against Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

A former Russian MP who fled to Ukraine last year has been shot dead outside a hotel in the capital, Kiev.
Denis Voronenkov and his bodyguard were attacked as they left the Premier Palace hotel in the centre of the city, reports say.
The bodyguard fired back at the attacker, who was shot in the head and chest and later died in hospital.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europ...337/russia&link_location=live-reporting-story
A firefight broke out between Voronenkov’s bodyguard, believed to have been provided by the Ukrainian security services, and the assassin. Both were wounded and taken to hospital, where the assassin died a few hours later.
The former MP, 45, had been a member of Russia’s Communist party. His wife, the opera singer Maria Maksakova, was an MP with the pro-Kremlin United Russia party. She reportedly fled to Ukraine with her husband five months ago.
“He told me he was receiving threats from the FSB,” Ilya Ponomarev, another former MP who has also fled Russia, told the Guardian by telephone from Kiev. “To be honest, I had thought he was being a bit paranoid.”

Nine Russian men are dead
Former Vladimir Putin aide Mikhail Lesin has died in Washington DC from severe head trauma. And bizarrely, he’s one of two key Russian government figures who died in the United States during the election, both from head .
When Mikhail Lesin died four months ago, Russian media outlets reported that the cause was a heart attack, citing family members.

Sergei Krivov was found dead on election day at the Russian consulate in New York, just up the street from where Trump was celebrating his shocking victory.
He was found just before 7 a.m. on Election Day, lying on the floor of the Russian Consulate on the Upper East Side.
According to other public Russian-language descriptions of the duty commander position, Krivov would have been in charge of, among other things, “prevention of sabotage” and suppression of “attempts of secret intrusion” into the consulate.
In other words, it was Krivov’s job to make sure US intelligence agencies didn’t have ears in the building.
Krivov’s place of employment — a palatial stone compound in Manhattan’s posh Upper East Side — has long been one of the premiere spy hotspots in the decades-old espionage war between the US and Moscow.

Russian diplomat Andrey Malanin was found dead in his Athens apartment. And we all recall the Russian Ambassador to Turkey, Andrey Karlov, being murdered on live television. Additionally, Russian diplomat Petr Polshikov was found shot to death in Moscow.
In mid-December 2016, following public assertions by leading US intelligence officials that Russia had intervened in the election, two high-level FSB officers, Sergei Mikhailov, deputy chief of the FSB’s Center for Information Security, which oversees cyberintelligence, and his subordinate, Dmitry Dokuchayev, were arrested. (Russian authorities reportedly took Mikhailov away from a meeting of the FSB top brass after placing a black bag on his head.) The two men — along with Ruslan Stoyanov, who headed the Kaspersky Lab, a private company that assists the FSB in internet security — were charged with state treason.
Former KGB and FSB general, Oleg Erovinkin, found dead in the back of his car in Moscow on Dec. 26.
The death of former Russian lawmaker Denis Voronenkov, gunned down on a street in Kiev by an unidentified assailant, came as the latest in a list of important Russians seriously injured or found dead in recent months.
Voronenkov’s killing came only two days after Nikolai Gorokhov, the lawyer representing the family of a late anti-corruption investigator, mysteriously fell five stories from an apartment building in Moscow.
Match 23, 2017
Nikolai Gorokhov, the lawyer for the family of late Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, plunged from a Moscow apartment on Tuesday.
Gorokhov was set to be a witness in a U.S. government case against a company believed to use profits from that scheme for Manhattan real estate, Magnitsky’s former boss Bill Browder said Tuesday.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...ing-harm-prominent-russians-article-1.3007311
British newspaper The Telegraph also said that Erovinkin, a close aide to powerful oilman and Putin friend Igor Sechin, was suspected of helping MI6 spy Christopher Steele compile a dossier about unproven Russian “kompromat” on President Trump.

Today, the three major Russian TV channels are either directly owned by the state, operating as state enterprises (Channel One and VGTRK, or All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company), or owned by a subsidiary of one of Russia’s largest oil and gas companies, Gazprom (NTV). So are two of Russia’s three major news agencies, Rossiya Segodnya and Tass. Later, larger independent online news outlets such as Lenta.ru were subjected to hostile takeovers by loyalist editorial teams picked by the Kremlin.
Putin’s press managers were concerned about Russia’s international standing. There was a gap in communication between Russia’s top officials and the international press, they feared, not unreasonably, and one remedy they could think of was employing foreign public relations professionals to help fix it.
Today, Putin and his press managers still seem to think that the world’s media works the same way as it does in Russia: subservient to corporate owners who are in turn controlled by governments. Hence the angry demands from Russia’s top officials that “the western media” – apparently a centrally controlled editorial conglomerate – cease their “Russophobic campaigning”.

Putin does not like it, when the Russian people exercise freedoms written in the Russian constitution
Who accused the protesters of being paid agitators ?
Peskov also accused the opposition of lying to protest participants, including to minors, by telling them that the protests were in fact legal.
He added that youths had been "promised financial rewards in the event of their detention by law enforcement agencies" during the protests. Peskov did not give a source for this information.
We cannot agree to these appeals," the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow, adding that protest rallies needed to comply with Russian laws. He denied the police was using too much force, saying their response was "highly professional and lawful."

Navalny fined
The opposition, led by Navalny, announced anti-corruption rallies in dozens of Russian cities for Sunday. Although local officials did not authorize most of the events, thousands of people still took to the streets and over 1000 protesters were arrested in Moscow alone, according to anti-repression group OVD-Info. Most of them were released by Monday, with at least 120 people still in detention, the activists added.

You're back to posting novels!
Your cliffnote post was very simple and clear. (I am going to assume you liked the X-Files.). You should watch The Fall on Netflix if you like Gillian. She doesn't run into any aliens, but she is as intelligent and dedicated as in the X-Files. A bit more in control too since she doesn't need to feign exasperation and disbelief each episode. I highly recommend it.

Why did Sean Spicer hide in the bushes, and demand that he not be filmed, as he answered the press ?
Why did he keep his face hidden, and his head down ? Jezebel has noticed Sean Spicer's sudden disappearances, and absences.
After briefly hiding behind some shrubbery, Press Secretary Sean Spicer walks from the West Wing to answer reporters’ questions on the president’s abrupt firing of FBI director James Comey—with the understanding that the lights be turned off, and that no one film him.
Last night, the artist known as Sean Spicer dropped a sneak peak of the emotional first single from his debut album, Stop Shaking Your Head!
Enjoy.
Sean Spicer, “Just Turn the Lights Off”
[Verse 1]
Between two hedges
Darkness drifts
Around me, they wedge
Fuck
[Chorus]
Just turn the lights off
Turn the lights off
We’ll take care of this, yeah
Can you just turn that light off?
[Verse 2]
It was all him, Rosenstein
That’s correct—I mean, I can’t
I guess I shouldn’t say that
Thank you for the help on that
[Pre-chorus]
Yeah, Rosenstein, Rosenstein
Obama didn’t mind him
Want to hear me scream?
Ah-ah-ahhhh
[Chorus]
Just turn the lights off
Turn the lights off
We’ll take care of this, yeah
Can you just turn that light off?
[Repeat]
[Bridge]
Was Sessions involved? (Ask the Department of Justice)
Did the president talk to Rosenstein? (No, I don’t believe, I don’t know how that sequence went—I don’t know)
Was it part of a larger review? (Ask the Department of Justice)
What was the president’s role? (Again, I have to get back to you on the tick-tock)
[Bridge 2]
I don’t know, ooh
I don’t know
I don’t know, ooh
I don’t know
[Chorus]
Just turn the lights off
Turn the lights off
We’ll take care of this, oh yeah
Can you just turn that light off?
[Outro]
You asked me a question
And that’s the answer
You asked me a question
And that’s the answer
And that’s the answer
And that’s the answer

Extra creepy-
Staff warned off the press-
Spicer walked with his head down. As he approached the door, aides warned reporters not to get too close. He then disappeared inside, enveloped by the warmly lit White House.

"Trump's personal lawyers advised lower level cabinet members that it was not necessary for them to lawyer up.
Mr. Kasowitz has advised White House aides to discuss the inquiry into Russia's interference in the last year's election as little as possible, two people involved said.
He told aides gathered in one meeting who asked whether it was time to hire private lawyers, that it was not yet necessary, according to another person with direct knowledge.

"Trump's personal lawyers advised lower level cabinet members that it was not necessary for them to lawyer up.
Mr. Kasowitz has advised White House aides to discuss the inquiry into Russia's interference in the last year's election as little as possible, two people involved said.
He told aides gathered in one meeting who asked whether it was time to hire private lawyers, that it was not yet necessary, according to another person with direct knowledge.

"Last month Trump hired Marc Kasowitz as his private attorney..."
"Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein released a statement Thursday evening..."
"Mike Pence hired Richard Cullen “a Richmond-based attorney and chairman of McGuire Woods who previously served as a U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.”

"Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that he did not believe he had any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the course of Trump’s campaign. But Richard Burt, a former ambassador to Germany during the Reagan administration, who has represented Russian interests in Washington, told the Guardian that he could confirm previous media reports that stated he had contacts with Sessions at the time."
"I did attend two dinners with groups of former Republican foreign policy officials and Senator Sessions,” (Richard) Burt said.
When John McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona who is a frequent critic of Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin, asked Sessions in a hearing this week before the Senate intelligence committee about whether the attorney general had ever had “any contacts with any representative, including any American lobbyist or agent of any Russian company” during the 2016 campaign, Sessions said he did not.
“I don’t believe so,” Sessions said.

This is not the first time Sessions has been caught making false statements under oath about meetings with representatives of Russia. Last time, it took him nearly two months to correct the record.

They said they wanted to Sessions to explain:
Why he "failed to come forward and correct the record before reports of his contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak became public"
"Why there was a delay in recusing himself until those public disclosures"
"Why he only recused himself with respect to campaign-related investigations and not Russian contacts with the Trump transition team and administration."

I hope she doesn't think that anyone reads this drivel. It makes one wonder where she finds the time to look up all this BS and post some off-kilter commentary to it. It's almost funny, but mostly pathetic.
That's funny, I thought his heart would have done flip-flops when she got horny and suggested some extracurricular fun in the hotel room. That would have made a great Cinemax (Skin-o-max) special.
Edit: my fucking phone fucking hates me, and autocorrect can ducking bite my ass.
Edit2: see?!?
