Russia is trying to make beating your wife ok. Just pay $500 fine and go home to your wife!

[ClosedCaption]

Russian politicians are making it legal for men to beat their partners

If ultra-conservative politicians get their way, battering a spouse or child will become punishable by a fine of less than $500, a nominal 15 days of 'administrative arrest', or community service. Only broken bones or concussion, or repeated offences, would lead to criminal charges.

Cool story, when Trump was told about it he said "yeah well, Americans aren't any better" /sarcasm

 

[Indeependent]

Uh huh.

 

[CarlinAnnArbor]

They're not "conservative." They're COMMUNISTS. That's on the Liberal/Progressive/Big Government end of the spectrum -- you know, where the National SOCIALISTS dwell

OP,
But with fines like that, Hillary would have to raise more Haitian charity money just to pay for her constantly hitting and throwing things at Bill.

Well, OP, should we remind you that American Democrats have elected Bill the rapist a president. Twice.

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

Besides, the new Russian law about domestic violence is a lot more sophisticated than OP wants to present it.

 

[HaShev]

Well. American Democrats have elected Bill the rapist a president.

That would be the least of his crimes:
The trail of dead whistle blowers, deciding to not take out Bin Laden in 1998=911, Afghanistan, Iraq, Isis, various domestic terror events ++
You can never guess the repercussions.

Is it equally ok to take a baseball bat to the sob when he falls asleep? Do they play baseball in Russia?

 

[Stratford57]

Do they play baseball in Russia?

No, baseball is not popular in Russia at all. Most of the Russians love soccer and hockey.

 

[The Irish Ram]

A hockey stick would work.
