Do you really want to root for this guy?? This guy is a mentally challenged extremist. As for his true color you can learn it from banners in background and his birthday cake. BTW, his family has a history of leftist extremism. Here is his grand-grand mom: Roza Zalkind - a Cheka Comissar for Odessa Region of Ukraine at the time. In earlier 1920s she was extremely successful in organizing infamous Red Terror there. Commies has buried her into a Kremlin wall for her achievements. Why doesn't reporters mentioning a background of people they want as to have sympathy to? Another question how can they blame people arresting these notorious communists?

Could you please repost my so called “rooting” for anybody in this thread or any others today?

“We have our own problems” is not a root for anybody if that’s the comment you refer to.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand your concerns but our nation as the beacon of freedom is losing credibility because of who we have running our own government.

Sorry, if you got me wrong. I was talking about an author of this article in the first place.

I never said anything partial in favor. I said the guy might even have a death wish, the way he is going.
