Things Dems Don't Stand For
It might be a little hard for them to applaud a guy who told them multiple times that if they investigate his crimes he'll shut the government down. (I suppose those actions don't strike you as the behaviour of a guilty man.)
I suppose you think the Dems should stand up and applaud when (insert name of any deplored dictator here) makes a good point?
He's evil. He's guilty. He's doing all sorts of things which hurt the country and drive people apart. How the hell can anyone take his calls for unity as anything other than trolling at this point?
Context matters, Bob (or Ivan, Ludmilla, or Yuri, whatever your real name is).
The Tragedy of Jon Stewart
Wrong! Fake news! This is such an unbelievable pack of lies and speculation. I bet you work for Crooked Hillary! Couldn't be more wronger. Covfefe!
His real name is Yuri.
So there.
At this point, I'm fairly certain Bob is really a Russian hacker/propagandist named Dimitri posing as an insulting parody of the worst kind of hyper partisan willingly gullible American "conservative".
This Did Not Go as Planned
Yuri, Yuri, Yuri of the Jungle, strong as he can be...
“Glimpse of True Nature & High Potential of Chi Power"
He can get paid performers to act with the wave of a hand.
Impressive, but Spielberg gets more believable performances out of his actors.
If it's so damn effective why doesn't he reflect a rock thrown at his head?
Oh, bet he claims it only works on living beings right? How about I throw this cat at his head instead, think he can reflect something that doesn't choose to be reflected?
This is Yuri Geller B.S. anyone who believes this crap should have their head examined.
Luckiest Truck Driver in Russia
Actually the luckiest truck driver in Russia is the legendary Yuri Melchenko who once drove his truck for an entire week without being involved in a single mind numbingly insane accident.
I know, impossible right?
Yuri Gagarin and Orbits - Sixty Symbols
Why thank you.

828m BASE Jump off the Burj Khalifa
Well,
d = vi t + 1/2 a t^2
828 = (0)t + 1/2(9.81)t^2
1656 = 9.81t^2
168.80733945 = t^2
t = 12.992587866
So yes, without drag, it would take about 13 seconds to fall that distance. (http://xkcd.com/669/)
However, BASE jumpers deal with a lot of drag. From http://www.stealingaltitude.com/BASE_JumpingFAQ.htm#13 :
"On average, a normally clothed average-weighted BASE jumper freefalling from a 500 foot building will impact in about 6 seconds. In this scenario most jumpers I knew would take a "delay" of two or three seconds before opening the parachute.
According to BASEjumper.com the current unofficial record is a two minute freefall made by Yuri Kuznetsov in the summer of 2005. He used a wingsuit to achieve this incredible feat, I don't know where the jump was or how high the jump started.
The development of the wingsuit (originally intended for skydiving) in the 1990s brought a freefall revolution in BASE jumping. The wingsuit allows jumpers to make incredibly long freefall descents along sloping mountains and cliffs, soaring like birds of prey, falling at half the normal terminal velocity. For reference, consider this: prior to the wingsuit, jumpers making outlaw leaps off of Half Dome could freefall for just under ten seconds before opening very low, near impact, over the rocky, sloping talos. Today, an experienced wingsuit flyer leaping from Half Dome can soar over 50 seconds, maneuvering over the talos and down mountainside itself until reaching the valley below. NOTE: parachuting in Yosemite National Park is strictly illegal and heavily enforced."
Yuri Gagarin Flight Video: 1st human flight into space ever.
WikiPedia:
Lieutenant General Vladimir Sergeyevich Ilyushin (Russian: Владимир Сергеевич Илюшин) (born 31 March 1927) is a son of aircraft designer Sergei Ilyushin and a noted test pilot in the Soviet Union. He spent most of his career as a test pilot for the Sukhoi OKB.
Ilyushin is purported to be a cosmonaut; it is alleged he became the first man in space on 7 April 1961. This honor is generally attributed to Yuri Gagarin whose spaceflight, Vostok 1, took place on 12 April.
The theories surrounding this alleged orbital spaceflight are that a failure aboard the spacecraft caused controllers to bring the descent capsule down several orbits earlier than intended, which resulted in its landing in the People's Republic of China whereupon the pilot was held by Chinese authorities for a year before being returned to the Soviet Union. The international embarrassment that would have resulted from having their pilot held is cited as the Soviets' reason for not publicizing this flight and instead focusing their adulation on the subsequent successful flight of Gagarin.
However, there are reasons to disbelieve this allegation, notably that although both were Communist governments, relations between the Soviets and Chinese were strained, and the propaganda value to the Chinese of a Soviet pilot captured flying over their territory would have given little reason for Chinese complicity in a coverup.
According to Mark Wade, editor of the well known website Encyclopedia Dramatica, "The entire early history of the Soviet manned space program has been declassified and we have piles of memoirs of cosmonauts, engineers, etc who participated. We know who was in the original cosmonaut team, who never flew, was dismissed, or was killed in ground tests. Ilyushin is not one of them."
Russians mark Anna Politkovskaya's Murder
On August 28th 2007 it was announced that 10 people were arrested in connection to her murder:
- NYTIt was standard Soviet practice to blame any problems that occur within its borders on foreign influences in the past. The press brief went on to state the murders were designed to destabilize the political situation in Russia and blame the Kremlin for it. This is totally ridiculous considering that the only people to benefit from her death was the Kremlin and specifically Putin himself.
Alexander Litvinenko, the ex-FSB Lt.Col and dissident accused Vladimir Putin of personally ordering the assassination of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya. He himself was poisoned on November 1st of 2006, via lethal dose of polonium-210. As of 26 January 2007, British officials said police had solved the murder of Litvinenko. They discovered "a 'hot' teapot at London's Millennium Hotel with an off-the-charts reading for polonium-210, the radioactive material used in the killing." In addition, a senior official said investigators had concluded the murder of Litvinenko was "a 'state-sponsored' assassination orchestrated by Russian security services.
Putin offered an example of that at the news conference when defending his decision last fall to abolish elections of regional governors. "The leaders of the regions of the Russian Federation will not be appointed by the president," he said. They will be approved by "regional parliaments, which are directly chosen by secret ballot." Putin compared this to the Electoral College, which selects U.S. presidents. "It is not considered undemocratic, is it?"
In fact, under the new system, Putin will appoint governors. His selections have to be ratified by regional legislatures, but if such a legislature rejects his choice twice, it will be dissolved. As for secret ballots, Russian regional leaders have proved adept at generating the outcomes they wish.
Anna Politkovskaya was just one of the dozens of reporters to meet their end during the reign of Putin, yet the press which is 80% state controlled dare not question the official line from Kremlin. She was murdered on October 7th 2006, which also happened to be Putin's birthday.

I watched the main prosecutors briefing on PTP Planet in Russian that morning. The rhetoric, method of presentation, hostile opposition to any questions by the press left no doubt in my mind that it was simply a political ploy to ease criticism of the Putin government with regards to the murders. Suddenly after years of inaction not one, but several murders are explained away neatly, however neither actual motives, names of other suspects nor any concrete evidence backing up the claims were presented.
