I'm wondering if there's enough of a democratic movement to capitalize on this?
Will there be a scramble for turnips?

I just said essentially the same thing in the other thread that was created about this. Until a more reliable outlet picks it up it's just gossip and rumor.

I beg to differ. The gymnast is a much more reliable source than some random ass laptop.

[DarkTZeratul]

The only sources I've seen so far are the Daily Mail and the NY Post. I'm assuming there's a more reliable source, but I'd dearly love to see it.

I'm just amused this will happen at the time Biden will be inaugurated.

Daily Mail is known for twisting words and add a little spice.

[Zaydin]

I already made a thread about this just before you did. The information is sketchy thus far, but we'll have to see if more trustworthy sources report on it.

NY Post is confirming the story.

Vladimir Putin plans to step down next year amid health concerns, report claims

Speculation of Putin’s possible departure comes as Russian lawmakers are considering legislation proposed by the president that would grant ex-presidents lifetime immunity from criminal prosecution.

New York Post, not the New York Times.
And it's using the Sun as a source.

well they are not the source the Sun is.

[Breccia]

This appears to be the original source.

I'm sure he'll live a long, quiet life, safely away from food poisoning, windows, and the tens of millions of people choking down rancid turnips just so he could have another few rubles.

[MCMLXXXII]

well they are not the source the Sun is.

That doesn't make it any better, stil a tabloid in the same category.

New York Post is another Rupert Murdoch rag. No.

Wait until it's on AP/Reuters or similar. Then start to believe.

The Sun is also Rupert Murdoch media. AKA tabloid.

Putin preparing for retirement.


Not surprising they tried to dump this news on a Friday in the shadow of the US election.

Maximum cover move.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Is he just going to retire to become Prime Minister

What? If you mean the source is good enough for all of the Trump supporters to keep getting their garbage from, sure...but why would you want to use it? Ew.
