Ivan the Horrible. Aka The Russian Plot (La trama rusa.)
Here, have a sort of anti-saint to pray to or curse fluently whenever anything goes wrong in your lives. For it’s now official: Russia in general and Putin in particular are responsible for all the ills that plague this feckless world. This, and that “burden of proof” or “innocent until proven guilty” are things of the past (along with privacy and freedom of speech). Our dear leaders have usurped rights and privileges once the strict preserve of emperors or popes and now, when they speak they speak ex catedra. So, if they say that the Russians did it, that’s good enough. Why bother with evidence and forensics and CSIs when you can just pontificate as you please and the people, or at least the Guardian, the BBC and El País, will say Amen?
I said that this Russophobia saga would run and run and run, didn’t I?
Have a grand weekend!
Love:
Cassandra

Sadly the product of historical ignorance and anti-Russian bias. :(

Yes, every outcome that goes bad or everything that doesn't go your way -- "It was the Russians!" (sarcasm)

I think I just got a text from Mueller. He wants to ask me a few questions!

Great work!

Ha, dear, you, too, made me smile! Tell Mr Mueller that I volunteer to tell him a few home truths, if he's in the mood for that sort of thing. (In Spanish this is called "cantar las cuarenta". Literally "to sing the forty", which makes no sense in English, but you can roughly translate as to give someone chapter and verse. In other words, to give somebody a good verbal beating.)
Have a super Sunday.

Another great image.

I'm so tempted in certain spaces to sarcastically sign all my rants with "Putin made me post it," but honestly I just feel like I'd just be encouraging more of the idiocy we're already armpit-deep in. :/

I love the idea so much I'm inclined to steal it, Amy. I don't think the levels of stupidity can increase much more. On the other hand some of us, the desperate, the brokenhearted ones, may appreciate the sarcasm.
Delighted to know that you, too, are a ranter. It's good to know I'm not alone...:-) Rant on, baby, rant on!
