  3. Probably not this Olympics since she missed her events already because of being forced to leave, and then having to sort out what to do to keep her safe and find a place for her to go, since I’m guessing Japan wouldn’t let her stay for more than a few days. Next time she might compete for the Refugee team, or Poland.

  5. Plus that last election was a big fat phony… I get that he needs to fake winning to stay in power, but he really over did it so it was blatantly obvious that the ballot boxes were stuffed to the gills with bogus ballots. Too bad the military didn’t take the side of the people protesting, that would have removed him from power.

  6. I was wondering why the reporter was in Moscow… Putin: Oh, she’s here… go cut that feed!
