I wonder: in today's political climate, would saying this joke, substituting "Donald Trump" for "Ronald Regan", get you arrested by the US Secret Service and/or KGB this time round? ;-)

Have you seen the news coverage of the protests and rioting in the US? Every other has a sign that says, "Fuck Trump"

Sorry, I don't think there's any evidence of rioting in the US recently.

This is a classic example of how tyranny changes a nation's sense of humour. This joke could just as well have been made under Stalin.

More photographers than rioters, and around the corner 30,000 people marching peacefully.

> he memed you

No. This has to stop. For the love of all that is good and holy this has to be the line in the sand that we do not cross. This is too much for the English language to take and still survive.

Meme cannot be a verb.

Yeah, stop verbing your nouns, dammit.

And that is the funny part of the joke for me, what would Vladimir say if you told him you didn't want Donald running the country. :-)

There's a modern one on that (circulated in Russia pre-US election):

"Today, violent clashes between Clinton and Trump supporters occurred at Red Square and Manezhnaya. Moscow police had to resort to tear gas and water cannons"

(Disclaimer: I totally don't work for the CIA).
