Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Okay.. So he went to Russia in 2003. Considering that the consensus in 2003 was that Russia was still on its way to becoming a democracy I am not that offended by it personally.
"Putin's hometown" being St. Petersburg, which is the 2nd biggest city in Russia.
What is more worrying is all the things that happened since 2003.
It means he has been getting gifts from Harlan Crow for at least 20 years.
Are these guys like lovers? They are sure close.
They all go to a secretive 2 week slumber party in California every year where they don't allow women. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if these two had some sword fights. Sorry for conjuring that visual for someone.
Not just any slumber party, Bohemian Grove. Famed among all the conspiracy theorists for being the main place where "they" sacrifice kids to Satan... but when it's their boy taking selfies there, not a peep.
Yeah, describing St Petersburg as "Putin's hometown" is pretty manipulative. It's a beautiful city, historically a popular tourist destination and home to one of the world's best museums.
Probably not cheap to chopper into and stay at either, which is the main point, but apparently not sensational enough alone.
It's a pattern.
It's probably how they obtained kompromat with which they can control him.
I'm surprised they didn't call it Leningrad to drive home the point. Dude's a turd, there's no need to make shit up to make him look bad.
