Not surprised. He's a Russian citizen and he's been living on shady Russian money making movies financed by Russia for a while now.

In other words, another Useful Idiot was crowned
A Useful Idiot Celebrity with a dumb-stream following with fans of his B-rated movies. The last one I remember that was anywhere worth watching featured Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey. Busey was fired on the "Apprentice" because Trump was jealous of his film career, and thought his teeth didn't do justice to the Real Trump.

But we've seen enough of well-plotted secret ops with techno-elaborate violence.

But -- say! Trumpers! Try this! Get some steel wool and some pure ethanol in a cup, put it in the microwave and give it 5 minutes! The high is amazing!

I used to be a pinhead environmental regulator (hazwaste). This scene made the rest a horrible acting career worth it.

He’s a weird dude
Busey? Or Seagal?

For the latter, it was some years back when there was news coming -- not from the tabloids, but the papers -- that Seagal was either "mobbed up" or "rumored to be 'mobbed up'". So I always assumed he was mobbed up. If you examine the television fiction which often insinuates -- with disclaimers asserting the opposite prominent at the beginning of an episode -- a set of real events that followed it, the conventional Mafia organizations seem to be diminishing. In "Law and Order [variants]" we have some fictional Gotti holdovers called "the Masucci's". Even the Sopranos ends on a much-diminished, embarrassed Italian mob. More and more as with L&O, places like NY's "Brighton Beach" and guys with accents like Bela Lugosi figure more and more in the plots.

So now I find this greasy Hollywood Cosa Nostra operative . . . has become a RUSSIAN CITIZEN?! . . . In 2016?!! A FUGGIN RUSSIAN CITIZEN?!!!

I remember in DC during the '90s there was an influx of Russians during the Yeltsin government. We would always try and be nice to them, to say things about their country's long and interesting history, as we went about our lives thinking that the Cold War had actually ended. If we want to talk about "bubbles," this was the BUBBLE-DI-TUTTI-BUBBLY!!

So now they have the power to bribe Giuliani in plain view on 5th Avenue. And now, they've got a real-life Hollywood insert of a Russian variety like that Mario Puzo character who was supposed to resemble Sinatra. But with the Italian mythology, you didn't have the Italian government or provincial head of Sicily actually putting a Manchurian Candidate in the White House.

When I was living in the GRANDMOTHER OF BUBBLES, I wanted to see better relations with the Russians -- who gave us Moussorgsky, Chekhov, Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, and others. I would NEVER HAVE DREAMED that they would've installed this . . . . this . . . Slug of a Rat-toothed Blond Liar-Whoremonger-Traitor-Bigot-in-Chief in our White House, and drag these Lemmings along with them.

This is the MOTHER OF BUBBLES, now . . .

Is there any statistic of gun-ownership by voter registration? I just want to assess any useful inventory of a potential arsenal. We should already be sure of one side of that equation.

Yeah he's been guzzling Putin's dick for years now. Plus since he can't run around pretending to be a badass cop down here with Rapaio, and that he was likely to be facing serious charges for kidnapping and raping his sex slaves, he had to run off to Russia.
