    I hope all American Oligarchs watch every window victim with wide eyes. This is the future you are funding with Trump.

      No no no. It will never happen to me. I am one of the smart oligarchs/good immigrants. He will just murder/deport the others.

    It’s barely even funny at this point.

    Although I’d quibble about Newsweek defining this guy as an oligarch. He was vice president at a company that was disbanded due the company president’s opposition to Putin. It’s very possible this guy is just a former executive that refused to bend or hand over some dirt or something. It doesn’t appear he fits the definition of oligarch at all.

    Unless we’re just using the word to refer to all Russians above peasant.

      It’s the wholesale murder of political enemies to consolidate power by an autocrat.

      I don’t think it was ever “funny”.

    This is why you shouldn’t use windows. Switch to Linux.

    Future generations of Russians will gain immunity to fall damage once they weed out the ones still complying with the law of gravity.
