There is an art to it, you know: flat-out lying with a straight face, and with such apparent sincerity that the listener might be tempted to think the speaker actually believes the crap they’re delivering.

Russian politicians have long been masters of the skill; and in today’s regime, no one does it better than our favorite Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov.

Donald Trump — no slouch himself when it comes to peddling unadulterated drivel — told the world on Thursday that the upcoming U.S. midterm elections were in danger of foreign interference. He specifically named Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea as bad actors . . . even claiming that there was new intelligence supporting his accusations.

Naturally, both Russia and China were quick to deny the allegations. Chinese authorities called the claims “totally fabricated and a malicious smear,” and Moscow said that the so-called intelligence was “unattributed, unsubstantiated information.” [Kyiv Post, July 17, 2026.]

But at a press conference on Friday, the Kremlin’s Peskov didn’t stop there. Never one to miss an opportunity to leave me ROFLMAO, he offered this additional comment:

“Russia has never interfered in the domestic affairs of other countries. We expect that no one will attempt to interfere in ours.”

“Russia . . .” WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! . . . “never interfered . . .” HAHAHAHAHAHA!! . . . “other countries . . .” HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Oh, Dima, cut it out . . . you’re killing me!

Just sayin’ . . .
