The document contains several formulations that would sound natural in Russian but appear unnatural and out of place in the English version, clashing with the overall style.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
