They won't need to touch Trump. Just blow up a load of anti-Trump protesters and accuse Russia. Every newspaper and all 17 Intelligence Agencies will say that Russia did it.

Certainly, Comrade Putin would never get involved in violence against his political opponents, would he? Poor old Vlad, why does everyone make up so many lies about him? He's a lovely man with no murderous tendencies whatsoever, and a charming, liberal attitude to the heemasexers as well as top, top respect for the borders of soevreign nations, yes.

To be fair, though, I'm all for locking up Greenpeace activists. French had the right idea about that lot if you ask me. Dirty hippies.

Isn't it a question of timing? If I prepared a meal for you, I made it myself. If I pre-prepared it, I did so in such a way that it required virtually no preparation once you had arrived. Seems logical to me.

Then again, I failed every grammar test I ever wrote. Boys did math, girls did grammar. Twas ever thus.

No. What you've described there is 'preparation'. It's all 'preparation'. The fact that some aspects of it took place before others does not alter the fact or make the term 'pre-preparation' any less tautological.

Irregardless, I think there is some merit in my argument.
