Pure tabloid but lots of them: Putin to resign in January

[nolabear]

I know I know, but it’s a wildfire among the tabloids—The Sun, The Daily Mail, the NY Post, etc. so as long as Spanky’s world is crumbling let’s close our eyes and say a little prayer that for once it’s really. Putin said to have Parkinson’s.

1. Painful Parkinson's Would Be A Gift From God

I don't believe in God, but I pray for this anyways.

2. Me either but I'd sacrifice a goat to be rid of him.

3. I don't trust anything from Murdoch tabloids...

...but didn’t he just get awarded lifetime immunity from prosecution?

[nolabear]

4. Yeah but think of Spanky's world crumbling.

Tbh I don’t trust it either but the fantasy is delicious.

5. Wow! There was a story the other day about

Putin becoming a Russian Senator (yes, that was the term) after retiring and having a bill passed that he would have absolute immunity forever (something to that effect). I wondered at the time what the sudden change was with him no longer wanting to be President.

So, it's his health....

7. Interesting because he has such a house of financial

cards and crimes, that he was forced pretty much to hold on to power until death.

6. No wonder SHITLER wants to lose - golden years together!1

8. Be careful what you wish for.

Who replaces him, may...whom I'm kidding...will be worse. Putin has come up to the line, occasionally smudged it and moved a bit more forward. But most of his likely inheritors don't have the acumen for that. Save one, and he isn't that popular anymore.

Putin is the devil you know vs. the one you don't know. Of all of his probable "heir's", most will probably say fuck it, reunite Belarus, invade Ukraine and take Kiev and Odessa in the south...then tell Poland and Romania the rest is their problem.

9. Front page of reddit today had an article about Russia granting immunity from prosecution to

Ex-presidents, or considering passing such a law. Didn't read it, so I don't know the details.

But he needed to get it anyway, sick or not.

10. Wouldn't it be interesting if on January 20, 2021...

...Trump leaves the White House, Putin resigns--or actually dies of the Parkinson's--and Limbaugh croaks. The trifecta.

11. I heard he was thinking of coming out with a succession plan in January
