Other dictators. They care more about each other than their own people.
Right? In a way, though, i do kinda care: if Putin says it is bad, it’s probably good.
Who gives an actual fuck about how Putin thinks the US ought to do things?
Just Trump. It's always just Trump.
Putin also thinks that it's okay to jail your opponents in an election. I bet Trump doesn't mind that idea either.

We don't give a fuck what Putin thinks. He's the example of what not to do.

HEY TRUMP, PUTIN SAYS RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Oh! Well, if Putler says it, I guess it's right, then.
Trump is such a bitch.
My question is why the fuck would Trump and Putin be talking about elections during a negotiation for peace for a country being attacked who isn't even present.
Because Trump can't stay on one subject for more than about 30 seconds. He was probably rambling while Putin nodded along.

This means we absolutely SHOULD have mail-in voting. Basically take anything putin and drump say and do the opposite and you'll be correct.
Taking advice from Putin on "an honest election". Trump is openly looking to take away people's rights.
Two obituaries I can't wait to read.
Kinda bummed nobody tried something. In a country with so many guns you think there would a single rebel in this death star of a country. Not even some rogue canadian.
Fucking traitor.
Wow. Trump (Krasnov) pushing usa policy with advice (orders) from Putin! Holy shit!
"He said there's not a country in the world that uses it now."
Yes, blindly listen to what Putin says and ignore all the countries that do have working mail in voting.
That's... actually surprisingly few. I thought it would be more common.

What a fucking demented weakling.
When you think it's the onion, but it's real life instead
Postal voting isn't a secret ballot so there is concern wherever people aren't entitled to a private residence of their own. However the accessibility and the presence of paper ballots for recounts (which reduces conflict and increases trust) is such a larger social insurance.
Its obvious why free countries embrace mail in ballots especially in a heavily rural country like the US.
Secret ballots are really important. There should be an effort into making in person voting more accessible and ending postal voting imo. Not american though, but i know my country historically had a very big problem of people being coerced to vote for certain candidates. The vote now is secret, spreaded all around the country and public transportation is free on voting days, which are on weekends.
Vladimir Putin said that voting in general is putting honest elections at risk.
And what do the people want?
Political figures have forgotten that they are supposed to represent all of their constituents.
Holy fuck, who cares? Trump is in the Epstein files
Who knew they were discussing how to subvert democracy instead of what they were suposed to discuss. Putin is definitively Trumps handler.
I don't give a fuck what Putin, or Trump for that matter, says. Fuck them both. They're lying as usual.
We don' care. Show us the Epstein files. We know you wont because you know what you have done. All these women are not lying. I doubt any of them are.
"See this dictator agrees with me.."
We don't give a fuck what Putin says! He doesn't live here! He's not our president, fuck off!
I really wish that orange turd would just kick the bucket already.
Release the Epstein files.
Good for him, I'm glad he has such a supportive daddy.
Like Putin is an expert in free and fair elections.
Maybe because Russia barely has a functioning road system to even get the votes mailed?
Well then he can fuck off to Russia
Remember when USAians were terrified of the Russians.
I miss the days when politicians and presidents at least tried to hide their corruption and shady dealings.
Weakling asks for permission.
I hate this cuntery.
I don't think it's fair to criticize Putin for this, it's consistent with his stance on other forms of voting.
Oh, I'm sure that motherfucking PUTIN agrees with Taco on that. How can you scare and intimidate voters if they are able to safely vote from home?
