        They also don't know that Putin will take away any guns they have and they won't be able to buy guns in Russia. No 2nd Amendment in Russia. No 1st Amendment either.

        Exactly!! What interest and commonality do they think Putin has in the US? Love of dry-rub barbecue? NASCAR? My Pillow? Putin wants to dismantle and destroy the US, period. I hereby declare that the fool who follows the fool is more foolish than the fool that is followed.

        If they'd rather be russian, they should move to russia and obtain citizenship. There's no reason to take over America to make it russian to suit them! Save your rights, your families rights, and vote for the American way!

        Remember what America's last "real" president said, "Don't boo, VOTE." Let's apply this to every foolish thing these Trumf idiots say or do. If we do that maybe they will crawl back into the holes they came from. We must turn out the vote, to save this democracy.
