Russia is a kleptocracy governed by the espionage apparatus.

As a small technicality, I read your comment as RT being run by an espionage apparatus.
 
OK you guys are smarter than me, or at least more in tune with what's going on in the world today. I'm usually too busy trying to get my college students to stop eating paste and freakin' take notes to spend too much time actually staying in touch with the current events of the world and their nuances but maybe you guys can fill be in on why:

1.) EVERYTHING has to be about the Ds literally signing off on anything to win over the Rs and the Rs literally signing off on anything to win over the Ds.
2.) Rs talk about how terrible the liberal media is and they do have a point, but why can they then see how effing pathetic Fox, talk radio, and the far right websites are?
3.) Ds talk about how terrible the conservative media is (yes they are the part of the media too) but not realize how terrible MSNBC, etc. is/are?
4.) Why would both sides seemignly rather us lose our freedom to some outside power rather than that other party win an election?
5.) In what freakin' universe does us having a close relationship with Russia while that bleeping former KGB officer is in charge make any sense? I"m not talking about being close to war with them ala the Cold War, I"m talking about the bromance that is currently going on between Putin and Agent Orange (sorry I know I need cite AA here, I"m just not sure how to do so in this particular scene.

I have no idea. Spent my life in this trade and the paradigm has really shifted. I just keep recommending Bill Bishop's The Big Sort.
