1. Wasn't funny, actually. They are admirer's ofPutinism and think this system would work great here.

How stupid are these people? Or are they working to overthrown our democracy?

2. All I can figure is that they're deluded, they're inexplicably on board with TFG's lies and unconstitutional behavior

Do they actually know what life is like in Russia?? Do they actually remember Ronald "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Reagan?? I've been to Gorbachev's USSR and both Carter and Reagan were responsible for bringing it down - and Putin's goal is to recreate it, only with the murderous policies of Stalin.

3. Spot on!

Many people forget that President Carter played an important role in the defeat of the USSR. He appointed as National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski who I believe played a key role, as well as consulting with Pope John Paul II. Carter's invitation for the Pope to visit the White House was a first.

4. Yay! And of course I remember that! Jimmy Carter was the very first candidate I paid attention to and really liked!

I have his amazing autobiography, "A Full Life: Reflections at 90," and he really has led a full and amazing life!
