Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Personally I think it's a giant 'fuck you' from Putin to the US, translated as 'this is about how much I value our relations..'. I mean he's tasked with..

..cooperation in culture, arts, public and youth exchanges.

Unless there's something we don't know about him on that last one what has Seagal ever contributed to culture, arts, public and youth exchanges?

It seems donnie has figured out why California has problems with fires:

California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amount of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire spreading!

Remember when Russia's cultural out reach was world class ballet dancers, gymnasts, and chess players? It's like they went, "Nah with this classy shit. American's like aging action heroes. Let's give them an aging action hero..."

How much youth exchange effort will have to be used to let the youth know who Seagal is without them laughing?

He couldn't give one shit about the environment.. as per his War on Bees..

The Trump administration has rescinded an Obama-era ban on the use of pesticides linked to declining bee populations and the cultivation of genetically modified crops in dozens of national wildlife refuges where farming is permitted.

Environmentalists, who had sued to bring about the two-year-old ban, said on Friday that lifting the restriction poses a grave threat to pollinating insects and other sensitive creatures relying on toxic-free habitats afforded by wildlife refuges.

“Industrial agriculture has no place on refuges dedicated to wildlife conservation and protection of some of the most vital and vulnerable species,” said Jenny Keating, federal lands policy analyst for the group Defenders of Wildlife.
