Woman kills man during sex/meth encounter


She allegedly had intercourse with him after he died, after performing fellatio on the corpse.

What's particularly bizarre is that it's rare for a woman to have sex with a dead male body; it's generally the other way around.

In any case, score one for the women, not for the murder but for the equality of sexual fetishism.

Jack Hanick, a onetime producer at Fox News, has been indicted on charges of working for a sanctioned Russian oligarch to establish TV networks in Russia and in other European countries.

Hanick, 71, is accused of working for Konstantin Malofeyev, who since 2014 has been under U.S. sanctions that were imposed in response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. The Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it had unsealed an indictment charging Hanick with violating the sanctions and with lying to the FBI.

Hanick is also accused of lying to FBI agents in February 2021 about his work for Malofeyev, allegedly telling the agents that Malofeyev had no role in his travel to Bulgaria, and that he was unaware of Malofeyev’s connection to the Bulgarian network until afterward.

Hanick now lives in London and was arrested there on Feb. 3. U.S. authorities will seek to extradite him.

No doubt Tanko will show us why this is bad for Biden :-)

Still not back to as many people employed in the last year of Trump's presidency.

A VERY interesting look at what happens to social media when Russian trolls are taken out of the equation.
