Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Russia's Investigative Committee

Yeah, that's about as a reliable a source as WTF this news site is.

I don't have a study to cite on long term bias, but Scripps used to be newsy which used to be at least serviceable for what amounted to AP syndication.

I didn't have a clue they were still around till just this instant, but at least the foundation is not something that sprung up yesterday as a Russian puppet.

He's too scared to fly anywhere outside Russia.

Confirmed by Russia. So really, no new information.

this guy scared the SHIT out of Putin

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

What doesn't? At this point I'd guess most people want him dead.

this guy acted as a cover for putin and got all power from him. now that this plausible deniability is not needed because no one will believe it anyway, he can be discarded

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=va3UtYl6PUs

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I'm convinced this guy is still alive in a Russian basement somewhere, with electrodes hooked up to his balls

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

pfft, Putin couldn't get anywhere near this guy.. the only way was a couple of cowardly missiles up the ass of his civilian jet.. the cowardly way.. Putin's way..

He was surrounded by Wagner officers at all times. That's who was on the plane with him. They took out a bunch of the Wagner upper echelon. I don't think that will be as wise a choice as they believe, but we'll see.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

He was confirmed dead when Putin offered condolences.
