      It’s cute that you think Putin is feeling any of these consequences himself.

        He is. They are striking gas refineries and abilities for Russia to make money. As Czar, that hits him in the pocketbook.

              You know, I mean it’s the same thing if a man carries a little bag, a little purse in his hand, you know? That’s all it is, it’s a little purse. It’s a purse; that’s all. Some guys can’t handle that word. Some guys who carry them can’t even call it that. They’ll say, “Where’s my little bag?” I say, ”fuck you it’s your purse. Pick it up and get out of here will you?” I mean if you can’t handle the word, don’t carry the bag. That’s all it is a little purse. I got one, big deal. What does it mean? But some people like to taunt you they’ll say, “Is that your purse?” And I say, “Yes it is and I have a picture of your mother in here sucking off an Indian.” And that seemed to satisfy their curiosity.

                  Yeah, we lost a national treasure when he died. I was really lucky to have seen him live. I think he had a cold, because he sounded sick and he was a little off, but it was absolutely worth it anyway.

                    Lucky. I wanted to go see him when I was 7 years old in the late 80s. My mom wouldn’t take me. She said “he says 7 things you can’t say on tv.” I said “I know. I want to hear what they are.”

                    My mom decided that wasn’t a good enough reason to go take her 1st grader to a George Carlin show in 1989.

      Who is downvoting you??? I used to think it was a bot going around downvoting people, but now I think it’s one asshole guy just going around Lemmy, and downvoting EVERYTHING.

      Or maybe it’s two guys. The two muppets in the balcony at the muppet show who hate everything.

        Russian astroturfers. I would have hoped lemmy was too small for them to care but they are here. They are doing a horrible job and Putin should arrest all of them. They need bodies for the border anyway.

          If they were doing a good job, then Russia coverage would be more pro-Russia wouldn’t it? They can always get women to operate the troll farms, gotta feed more meat into the grinder at the front!

            They have to be discreet. If they’re too obvious they’ll get called out and their efforts will backfire.

        I don’t think Statler and Waldorf hate everything, they’re just old AF and see everything as an absurd waste of time.

        I didn’t downvote them, but I understand why. It’s a meme reply brought over from Reddit and dropped everywhere, which adds nothing of value.
