#2 By acclamation, lol, who needs an election? It's just another of those decadent Western notions, anyway. Regardless, he's got all the hooks in place to run the show - whether in front of the cameras or not. He's KGB to his toes - with a strong dose of megalomaniacal Russkie Al Capone tossed in.

Now there's a hit I'd donate a buck to.
