Offically Mikhail Mishustin would be next inline as President but he is just a puppet put into the job with no power and ambition which is why he has the job as President so he is no threat to Vlad. The bloke who really wields power is Nikolai Patrushev who is Putin MarkII and a nasty piece of work who instigates a lot of Putins dirty work and killings.
Someone sensible in the military needs to do away with Patrushev and take over....

I just opened the afl app to be greeted by a banner saying that all VFL (& state league ?) games are now able to be streamed to your smart tv via chromecast or airplay.
Long overdue, but thank you afl.

A Republican congressman from NY made the apparently outrageous comment that he’d vote to ban the AR-15 if a Bill came to the floor for a vote. He has received such an intense backlash from fellow Republicans that he has now withdrawn from seeking re-election in November. Most of the Republicans who had endorsed him have withdrawn their endorsements and those he had anticipated have evaporated.

Republican Congressman Quits Race After Backlash Over His Gun Stance, HuffPost.

In the House of Representatives, members have to seek re-election every 2 years. Almost as soon as they’re elected, they have to gear up for yet another primary and congressional election. If they do nothing controversial, they might be lucky and win their primaries unopposed, saving them a lot of time and money. Do anything courageous and they’ll be fighting to the death after being “primaried”. No wonder courage is in short supply but thoughts and prayers are plentiful.
