Thought For The Day

Cloudy With A Chance Of Falling Bodies

February 22, 2024

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny seemed perfectly healthy – well, as healthy as one can be, imprisoned above the Arctic Circle in a Russian Gulag, having already survived repeated torture and poisoning. The following day, Navalny reportedly went out for a stroll – as one does as a political prisoner in the Arctic Circle – and came back all dead. This is why I’m not fond of exercising. However, it seems possible that we have not gotten the full story.

Analogous to Dick Cheney hiding out from authorities until he could sober up after shooting his friend in the face while the two men were out shooting intentionally-crippled birds in a barrel, Putin is hiding Navalny’s body until the evidence of his cause of death dissipates. Or until all of Navalny’s family and supporters have also expired, many no doubt in equally mysterious ways.

We Are All Alexei Navalny Now. Well, Not All Of Us

Putin fanboy Donald Trump remained silent for days after Navalny’s apparent sudden-death-by-murder at the hands of the murderous Russian dictator. Navalny was one of the few Putin opponents not to fall from a double-digit-story window. Though he was – like so many of Putin’s adversaries – healthy one day and dead the next. Once he figured out how to make any statement regarding Navalny’s demise about Trump, Donald has been comparing himself to the now-martyred Navalny.

If only.

Russia must not have any regulations on window safety,
which is just the kind of thing Trump supports
