There was a lawful mechanism for changing a constitution and it was executed by the Duma.

I thought that too until I was learned who was running Russia back in 2008. I do agree he is the sounding board for what I've learned is the Security Council. If the poling is true, the Russian people want Putin to harden his heart.

That is still a conclusion based on propaganda. You should recognize that Putin is less belligerent than his deputy and more importantly the Russian people. He has the mandate. I'm sure if you are reading western propaganda you imagine massive casualties, which is unsurprising. 2022? The...

Shark people. It has almost nothing to do with a TMNT episode from over 20 years ago. Really...

Hopefully paying for this doesn't fleece property owners in HI. It's best that municipalities do everything they can to avoid further pension costs so automated is the way to go. With interest rates as low as they are and the feds kicking in a few, I think the best place to do this would be...
