  1. Yeah, it amazed me at the time that more couldn't see it. Virtually everyone was in the appeasement camp. That's played out exactly as it always does. I'm surprised and pleased to see more consensus this time.
  2. Sorry if already posted, but here's a translated version of Putin's speech. I haven't had time to finish it yet, but he's pretty clearly trying to lay out an argument that Russia was wronged and has the right to retake any former territories. He claims the Bolsheviks in 1917 gave too much autonomy to regions of the Russian Empire as a way to maintain control and this was compounded by Stalin. He claims Ukraine is purely a creation of the Bolsheviks and never existed apart from Russia. He claims the Bolsheviks and Stalin were weak and doesn't believe these regions should have been given autonomy. He especially does not think the SSR's should have had the ability to leave without preconditions and consequences.
  3. Video rants are more their style. Here's the best I could find, but it would probably be more convincing to him if this guy was semi-shouting this while sitting in a truck wearing sunglasses.
  4. You misspelled DP.
  5. Trump politicized this and it cost the dipshit re-election. Every previous GOP President listens to the scientists, follows their recommendations and rallies the country around a common enemy, handily winning re-election. It takes a special combination of narcissistic, stupid and evil to fuck up that layup.
  6. Quite. What's even more problematic is that I meant to type 2022. The next election decides whether we stay a Republic, or go full Trump minority-rule fascism. We have until November to turn it around.
  7. Yep... unless the Dems complete lack of action on anything suppresses their turnout low enough not to matter, which is also probable. And it will happen on the federal level. The GQP is going to take the House in 2024 and they will not seat a Dem president again regardless of margin of victory.
  8. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
  9. She says it gets tricky to navigate past the carina.
  10. Not the sinuses. Resides more in bronchial tissue...trachea (windpipe) and the major divisions off it.
  11. The reign of Tyrannosaurus rex (~65 mya) is closer in time to 2021 than it is Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus (~150 Mya). aggy's only title is much closer in time to the discoveries of Tyrannosaurus rex (1900) and Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus (1879/1877) than it is to 2021.
  12. Double post
  13. Yep. This hire has been fail from the start. The staff he put together was awful.
  14. These heaters only draw 1500W on high, something like 700W and 900W on low and medium. You can unplug it once hot and run something else while the oil continues to give off heat.
  15. This thread is going to hit 1000 on CFS chat alone.
  16. Yep
  17. Dabo is Mack Brown without a Bobby Bowden/Bob Stoops in his division. He's an elite recruiter. He's a good college coach because of his recruiting, but no where near elite at the actual coaching part.
  18. Yes, but aside from doing, or making spurious claims about...everything on that list, what has the current GQP done to indicate that they are a fascist movement intent on destroying democracy? It's only a building movement and we obviously can't take it seriously until it has fully taken over and has majority support.
  19. For fuck's sake...Mack quit years before he was fired, he just didn't bother to turn over the title or keys for the office. If he'd had the decency and grace to bow out when he was mentally done like Stoops did, we'd be a totally different program. Mack started much of the rot and let it fester for years. He kind of gave a shit last year and wanted to prove those meanies at Texas wrong, but he's regressed to his not give a fuck again at 6-5 this year.
  20. A major part of his job is scouting opponents, identifying weaknesses and exploiting them. Sark is actually really good at that, as evidence by his hot starts, but he did a shit job assessing the team he was about to take over. Some of it is egregious. Our OL has been shit for more than a decade. It's kind of hard to miss. Sark has an excellent reputation as an offensive mind. He is one of the best. He has a mediocre reputation as a HC with one rebuild and one major flame out. He had PT to sell to transfers last year and a much hotter hand. All that is in the past though, he now has to sell having a team quit on him and lose 6 (likely 7 straight) instead of coming off a NC and Heisman with 2 finalists. It's blatantly obvious this is a much tougher sell now. I hope he's successful.
  21. Unfortunately, I think LAST offseason is the one that determines whether Sark will be successful here. Last offseason, he was hot shit. Sark had his redemption story and was fresh off a National Championship, plus a Heisman winner with 2 of the 4 finalists. He needed to strike while his iron was hot, properly assess his team and aggressively make moves last offseason to immediately improve his roster. He didn't. This offseason, he's the coach of a team that quit on him, lost 6 (likely 7) games in a row and lost to Kansas. He's now obviously on the hot seat for the next 2-ish years. I hope he turns it around, but he's made that a shitload harder.
  22. Third world dictatorship bullshit. That should have no place in the United States. The cops will probably get a commendation.
