  4. Gary, can you come up with another souce that has as much detail as the wikipedia story?

    Have you ever tried to edit a wikipedia story? It isn’t as easy as you seem to think.

  6. He has outdone himself in popularity. The USA need Putin to take it over and run it properly. Let’s hope that in President Trump’s coming term, he will appoint Vladimir Vladimirovich to take over the USA government on a day-to-day basis while Trump concentrates on big-drawing issues, like putting criminal traitor Biden in prison like Navalny. The USA and Russia can even merge together and become one giant unstoppable nation. Hail Putin! Hail Trump! Hail Russian-American solidarity!

  7. It’s in Russian, but translation is easily available online. I have to agree with everyone that 88% is very respectable. I wish we had honest elections in this country like they do in Russia, so President Trump would also get 88%.

  10. What are the methods that most people suspect Putin has used to influence the vote? Intimidation? Restricting ballot access? False ballots?

  11. Playing commie Biden lying commercial? Strange move for libertarian. Bloodbath was about auto industry.

    It’s true that there are many fine people protesting against our history, monuments, and genetic legacy being erased. It’s true that J6 hostages have been horribly mistreated. All of the out of context Trump statements there were and are correct.

  13. HOW MANY DEAD/INJURED RUSSKIE MILITARY IN UKRAINE IN LAST 2 YEARS ???

    DID THEY [AND THEIR RELATIVES] VOTE FOR PUTIN ???

  16. I don’t think the President has 85% support in Moscow. 75 or 75%, perhaps. However, many of his opponents boycotted the vote, as the other candidates were very underwhelming, and the outcome was in no doubt at all.

    I also didn’t vote, for the latter reasons, although I would have voted for Putin if I had voted. I’ve always voted before, and never for him.

    Some of his opponents went around damaging election equipment. I wasn’t a fan of that tactic, although the whole election seemed absurd to me. I don’t think it prevented many votes from being cast.

  18. @Pig F,

    The RIA Novosti website has a map that you can click through for each region. Perhaps you can click on each to validate the Wikipedia table.

  23. It’s to the Gloria of Russia that the people have shown the world their incorruptible resolve in the face of Nazi aggression!

  28. Richard Winger is obviously not a libertarian. He’s a communist since he loves Biden so much and voted for him.

  35. Why was turnout 26% higher in this “pre-destined” election than in the 2021 State Douma election?

  38. Adam,

    There was a definitive strong get out the vote push, which I resisted.

  40. Hopefully a lot. More of this kind of dishonest crap will make Trump’s landslide even bigger. It won’t distract people from Biden’s failure on issues, only emphasize it.

  41. Putin and Trump

    k-i-ss-ing
    Putin is the top
    Trump is the bottom

  43. Congratulations to President Putin on the huge victory from the beleaguered and oppressed people of once free Canada. We long for a strong and true leader like Putin to lead our nation back to liberty and strength.

    Our best wishes to President Trump of the USA to reclaim his stolen office, and to remove the senile usurper quisling Xi hand puppet. Our prayers are for Honest and True elections and leaders in the USA and Canada like what Russia has. In Jesus name we pray.

    Slava Rossiye!

  46. Go ahead Trump…might as well Trump…

    Hail Lukashenko! Hail Orban! Hail Putin! HAIL TRUMP!

  47. Slava Rossiye (Glory to Russia)!

    Congratulations to President Putin! Hail Victory! 88%! Hail!

    Hail Trump! Hail Orban! Hail White Triumph! We shall overcome! You will never replace us! Russia is our friend!

    Deep in my heart, I do believe, Whites shall overcome one day!

  48. Congratulations to my good friend Volodya on the tremendous win. Very huge and tremendous, and very classy and luxurious. By 2028, after we repeal the 22nd amendment and put an end to all the fake news, deep state, and dishonest election fraud – so dishonest – I guarantee I will do at least as well, actually even better but at least as well, in my reelection. You’re not going to believe it. It’s going to be huge. Big league.

  49. HOW DARK ARE THE SOUTHERN STATE *WHITES* FROM EARLY 1600S IN DEEP SOUTH AREAS – FL / GULF COAST ???

    SAME FOR OLDE FAMILY WHITES [EX SPAIN/ PORTUGAL] NOW ON THE EQUATOR ???

  50. Congratulations to President Putin and best wishes on another successful term.

  51. @MaxZ,

    Were the lines long on Sunday at your polling place? Perhaps voters showing up around midday after attending mass.

    Do Russians observe Mardi Gras?

  52. Jim, there are some Catholics in Russia. However, most Russians are Russian Orthodox. The Orthodox fasting season is slightly longer, thus Fat Tuesday is not an orthodox tradition since it’s already a fast day. You can find information about this online without much trouble.

  53. @P.A.,

    Are you related to Al Agricola who was representing the Republican legislator David Cole whose residence was being challenged?

    The reason I asked MaxZ, was that some of the voters waiting in line to vote had broken into a Maslenitsa dance (a circle dance similar to the Horah). I found that Maslenitsa had something to do with Lent, which is celebrated at a different time under the Western calendar and Eastern calendar.

    But it turns out that under the Orthodox calendar Lent is two days longer and doesn’t begin on Ash Wednesday, but rather on Clean Monday, so the last day before Lent is on Butter Sunday rather than Fat Tuesday.

  55. Jim,

    Porcus Agricola is Latin for Pig Farmer. My uncle comments here as Pig Farmer, so I’m Porcus Agricola. My brother comments less frequently as Porcus Agricola Tacitus. We’re all pig farmers, on nearby but separate farms near the Florida Georgia line (not the band). We don’t use our real names on political discussion boards. Our opinions are out of the mainstream and hated by intolerant antifa scum, so a degree of privacy is warranted.

    Sorry if I stepped on your convo with Maxim Maximovich. I’m a convert to the Russian Orthodox Church. I was originally Southern Baptist, then Pentecostal, then Traditionalist (anti Vatican II) Catholic, now ROCOR (Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia).

  56. I didn’t go by my voting place, but reportedly it was quite busy. Voting shepherds were quite prominent outside of church. I told them I had an urgent matter to attend to and avoided all questions and exhortations. I also had a car service take me there and back, although I usually walk.

    Other than church, I avoided public places during the three voting days, and several days immediately preceding. I also left instructions with building security to not allow anyone on my floor or tenants’ floors except scheduled visitors, and had security posted by the elevator on each of my floors. My tenants expressed appreciation for the free service.

  57. @P.A.,

    The Agricola law firm is in Opelika, Alabama, so perhaps not too far from your farms, unless you are over by Jax or the Okefenokee. I had thought maybe Agricola was a reference to the Roman general/governor of Britain.

    The legal case, which was discussed on BAN, was interesting. David Cole had been a Republican representative elected from Madison, AL (near to Huntsville). He had knocked a primary opponent off the ballot contending that he had consorted with Libertarians. A Libertarian candidate in the general election challenged Cole’s election on grounds that Cole had not lived in his district. In a deposition, it turned out that Cole had “rented” a 5×5 space in an associate’s house and used that as his voting residence, though it is unclear if he ever stayed their, and his wife and children certainly never did.

    Based on this deposition, he was charged with voting outside his residential precinct. As part of a plea bargain, he agreed to resign from the legislature. The special election is March 26.

    A Libertarian candidate failed to qualify after turning in 516 signatures compared to 444 needed, but only 350 were valid. It turns out that the Libertarian Party could have certified a candidate, but were not informed by the SOS until after the deadline. The duopoly parties had been informed.

    It sounds like what happened to Boris Nadezhdin.

    One interesting connection between Britain and Russia, Shrove Tuesday is marked with eating of pancakes (so as to use up butter and eggs and other food before Lent), and the serving of blini at Maslenitsa.

  59. I don’t want to pinpoint where we are too much, but it’s between Jacksonville and Tallahassee, and north of I-10. I vaguely recall reading about the legal case. I’m not familiar with the law firm. I’m familiar with Opelika, which is next to Auburn in Lee County, Alabama.

  63. Jealous? Why would I be jealous? I’m getting those same kind of percentages in many states right now. Some even better. I’m confident I’ll do just as well in November. I see no reason why I wouldn’t.

  65. Noooooooo! I am the real Donald J. Trump and I had a homo-sex-yall dream about my daddy, Putin.
