Meanwhile in Ukraine

Irony detector malfunction 

Didn't you know, that when using irony on the internets you must put a proper tag after it.

It does not work otherwise.

The irony was hardly achieved by using a wrong term.

The attitude of the various armed groups towards journalists is quite telling of how much they desire their actions to be seen or not.

I think it also depends on journalists... If ((you are from RT or LifeNews or carry some anti-tank/anti-air missiles in the trunk) and pretend to be a journalist) - you would get similar treatment to the way original reporter for Vice News in Ukraine dispatch was treated by separatists... But yeah, if one is willing to trust western media over the one owned by putler - difference is there.

in chocolate chip cookie Russia each journalist have anti-tank/anti-air missiles in the trunk, cos he must defend the truth from the zhido-masons, it is normal

THIS IS LEGIT VOTING

[Leshma]

That is slavic way, as I said they aren't any different from Russians

Voting for other deputies is prohibited by law.[50] Despite this deputies have stated they could not/did take part in votes although their votes were registered in parliament[50][51] and the phenomenon did became notorious in Ukraine (sometimes referred too as "piano voting").[52] In April 2011 a vote of a deputy was registered although the man had died four days before the voting.[53][54] A bill on introducing voting of lawmakers with help of a touch-sensitive key was not passed in mid-March 2011.[55] Since 22 February 2013 procedural measures have been implemented to prevent deputies voting for absent deputies.[56] Following up on measures taken in December 2012.[57]

It does sound silly to me to not allow deputies to vote by proxy though.

Well, contrary to the Duma, there is actually some kind of "real" voting action in place

- So, in our constitution is written that not less than 50% of the population of the country have to come to vote for president 
- But people won't go to vote for president, except western regions 
- Hm, then we have to make correction in our constitution, so if 1 man will vote then voting will be legit, who say "YES"

So HOLD THEM FUCKING ACCOUNTABLE. Do not elect them next time. Press legal action against them. We had similar "practice" in our country - it was QUITE widely practiced. Ended VERY abruptly after 1 guy on vacations in bahamas "voted" against a law demanding that members of parliament would not take vacations during the sessions of parliament... Talk about irony I guess. In the end - he was thrown out of parliament, made an example of, now everyone is VERY strict with this rule. End of story.

And as to Molly - I do not elect proxies. I elect the guy who I expect will vote.
