Krasnov pisses off the world. It sounds insane, I know, but yesterday I was out working in my garden and became kind of rattled. We live in a rural area in New England near the top of a hill and it's usually pretty quiet. Suddenly, a bunch of really loud jets were overhead. Even though there were few clouds, I couldn't see them, but they were just roaring across the sky. While sane me knows this is probably the Air National Guard training, Trump America me had to stop weeding and stare at the sky wondering. I hate this.
