Alexei Navalny

R.I.P. Alexei Navalny, 4 June 1976 – 16 February 2024

Donald Trump admires Vladimir Putin.  Tucker Carlson just defined obsequiousness for our time.  MAGA Republican office holders march in lock step.  Putin just imprisoned 400 Russian souls who dared to pay homage to a fallen comrade.  Putin's clumsy assassination of a brave rival, a man for all seasons, just cost Republicans in the United States the presidency, the Senate and the House by 25 seats.

Trump has taken on Navalny's ordeal as equivalent to the legal troubles he has had to endure from his powerful enemies, without once mentioning the name of Putin.  Navalny has called the prospect of a second Trump administration "really scary."

As an aside, I defy any of you to get this man's image out of your head.
