It also touches on the media's sensationalism and the public's desensitization to the gravity of Putin's actions.

Putin at the Oscars

“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” the president said at the end of his speech in Warsaw, Poland.

Our legally elected President, Joe Biden, had the gall, the gumption to tell us that a heinous killer should not remain in power in Russia.

How embarrassing that no one else believes this.

Please, someone, pass me a Kit Kat. I need a break.

How insensitive is President Biden when calling Putin, a ‘butcher’?

This remark has ensured Joe will not be appearing on Cocomelon anytime soon.

Fox News portrays such remarks as exacerbating the ongoing war in Ukraine, with politicians on both sides reporting it like a headless chicken flapping its feathers and running around in circles.

What is wrong with you people?

I imagine Putin at the Oscars last night to collect his award for Lifetime Achievement.

Imagine John McCain presenting: Quote. “Vladimir Putin is a thug and a murderer and a killer and a KGB agent” End Quote.

Then imagine the ever-blossoming orange Trump presenting: Quote: “I’ve always felt fine about Putin. He’s a strong leader. He’s a powerful leader.” End Quote.

So, let’s look back on some of Vladimir Putin’s most outstanding work. During Putin’s illustrious career. He has killed politicians, journalists, opposition leaders, all of whom died in mysterious circumstances. He’s a regular Alfred Hitchcock.

But this 2022 Oscar winner didn’t start his career as an actor. In 1999 Putin directed some smaller projects, ‘B’ movies, like bombing apartment buildings in Moscow. Hundreds killed.

Putin then directed a much larger movie later. Without bringing in one Stunt actor, directing the genocide when leveling Grozny. Every one of the 25,000 dead was a non-actor.

Putin will stop at no length to provide us with real-life and death entertainment.

When things went quiet in the world, Putin amused himself by shooting down Malaysia flight 17. Again, the 298 innocent people aboard were sacrificed to keep Putin at the top of his game.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, to present the next achievement.

Samantha, you look gorgeous; I assume that’s a Gucci dress.

Thank you, Rock. No, it’s designed by Gaffe. Ladies and gentlemen, Samantha turns to the illustrious audience. First, I’d like to say a few words about Vladimir Putin. Quote: “Is there no act of barbarism against civilians, no execution of a child, that gets under your skin? That just creeps you out a little bit? Is there nothing you will not lie about or justify?” End Quote.

What the fuck, pull the mic, cut…cut…cut. Sorry folks, they appear to have a technical problem. Quick, get Chris Rock out on stage; let’s calm down.

On a serious note. Are we really going to castigate a President for telling the truth?

Where are we heading, America?
