  1. Russia and North Korea forming Norko They are hurting for manpower
  2. Nobody thought the Russians would be as incompetent as they were or that they had lost so much institutional knowledge over the past decade or two.. there were many who failed to predict even the invasion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T2MYXljL5o
  3. Sore Loser With three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald J. Trump stands a reasonable chance of becoming the 47th President of the United States. Despite assassination attempts, impeachments, special counsels, felony convictions and hundreds of millions in civil penalties, most polls show his race against V.P. Kamala Harris is too close to call. The first time he ran for president in 2016, he was coming off the last season of Celebrity Apprentice. I had a front row seat as a finalist on that final season and marveled at his audacity with his checkered past to seek the highest office in the land. Then, in the blink of an eye, he went from novice to formidable challenger to victorious over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. As President he was a loyal friend, who allowed regular access. My resulting coverage gave him the benefit of most doubts. His presidency was underrated. Throughout his first big scandal in office, the 2017-2019 Mueller Investigation into allegations Trump conspired with Russia to undermine our political process, I stuck with him, deeply suspicious of constant efforts to undermine his Administration. The last time President Trump and I spoke was Friday, November 13, 2020, when he called me at home. It was ten days after his narrow lost to Joe Biden. He was calling to get my take on the controversies surrounding the election, which appeared to have been decided by a handful of votes in several states. I asked him what he would do if the vote count remained against him. As I reported on Fox News that same morning, Friday the 13th, he told me he was a reasonable man and would do the right thing if that time came. It never did. Instead, President Trump embarked on an increasingly menacing campaign to discredit the 2020 election. With a motley supporting cast of increasingly fringe characters, he careened from one bizarre theory to the next, offering no meaningful proof, that he had been robbed by the Democrats. None exists. If you are a Republican, Donald Trump has made a liar of you. He has coaxed and intimidated tens of millions into pretending he was reelected in 2020, and that the election was stolen. In furtherance of that Big Lie, on January 6, 2021, Trump incited and unleashed the violent attack on the center of democracy, the U.S. Capitol for which he was Impeached. As his followers trashed that sacred space, he was on the phone urging Vice President Mike Pence essentially to overturn the will of the American people. Pence refused to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. Trump stabbed the Constitution in the back. Maybe you are inclined to vote for the former president anyway, because he says he will cut your taxes or build the border wall or pull out of NATO or put tariffs on China. However, you justify voting for Trump, adopting his big lie about the stolen election makes you a liar. Better to admit he lost last time but that you don’t care because a Harris presidency would be a disaster, or you admire his defiance in the face of an assassin’s bullet. Just don’t pretend that he got robbed in 2020. That is a lie. Former President Trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution. That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.
  4. UT is playing Florida, Kentucky, Arkansas, and aggy in November, so we’ve got that going for us.
  5. Half the Russian general staff would be dead, comms would be down, Putin would do his shit talking from a bunker, and the Kremlin would have some smoking craters. And most of their railroads would be hit hard, and the repair crews sent out would have their equipment destroyed, and a shitload of bridges would have been dropped.
  6. It’ll be interesting if he tries, because that would make for 8 solid years of him being out of office due to his losing while still taking money away from the GOP and funneling it to his businesses. That’s going to piss off a lot of Republican politicians who are not getting any younger, especially as he gets more senile. I can only imagine the crazy come late January, Bonus: he’d probably toss Vance and Thiel under the bus, and Vance being young would have to decide whether to passively let Trump try and destroy his present and future political career, or take some of Thiel’s money and go after Trump. And Thiel is a vindictive little asshole who plays a long game against those who have wronged him.
  7. Allred actually dropped an ad last night or sometime yesterday addressing Cruz’s recent ads, and he was repeatedly calling Cruz a liar, about Cruz’s ads claiming Allred wanted boys in girls sports, etc.
  8. Need to get one of these shirts for the hippy in my life, they come in pink as well, https://viralstyle.com/c/P9MV2r#pid=1&cid=230
  9. He’s got a Reagan biopic out that he’s trying to sell tickets to,
  10. George H. w. Bush’s biographer “I haven’t moved, they have” “Just vote for Harris.. and what I would argue is don’t tell anybody if you don’t want to….I know it’s hard this is a part of people’s identity”…”how about thinking Constitution when you look at Trump….there is a sane vote and a risky vote.” “We are in a moment that’s as important a test of citizenship as any point in American history.”
  11. A very interesting graphic is being discussed on Russian channels this evening, including by the well-known Zakhar Prilepin. It reflects the results of a survey on attitudes toward the "Military Actions" in Russia, broken down by profession. As we can see, the overwhelming majority of science workers, that is, the most educated segment of the population, are against military actions. A similar thing can be said about those who are obtaining this education—almost half of the students do not support the war. The Russians have raised quite an outcry over this graphic. Prilepin says the following: "The student body, and this is terrible, is also split down the middle. That is, half of future Russia doesn't care about its own army. But look at our science (the very bottom of the chart). And that’s a total nightmare. Our science has been bought out and continues to be bought out." He says the same thing about culture: "Culture is split down the middle as well, but clearly due to the provinces. In Moscow, 90 percent are against it—compared to the 10 who are for it, and who can almost be named individually." As could be expected, the war is categorically supported by as much as 80% of law enforcement officers—those who directly benefit from it, and 62% of civil servants, who are directly dependent on the state. Surprisingly (ish), the supporters also include a majority of pensioners—those who, due to their age, will not be participating in the war. Meanwhile, people from more modern, intellectual professions have no interest in this "special operation." And these are only the official numbers. We can only guess how many people are truly against it but are afraid to say so out loud.
  12. Yeah, need to rewatch. and need to get this guy’s opinion on it. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1447309812578892
  13. I was going to ask why late-70s Steve Wozniak was standing next to it, but let’s hear about the butthole.
  14. Exactly like the Russian soldiers filming videos of themselves in dire straits, and who believe that Putin simply doesn’t know of their suffering and if he just saw their video, he’d correct it right away because he’s Papa Putin. Meanwhile, Putin, like Trump, gives no shits about the plebes.
  15. COLON ALLRED SUPPORTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CHANGING THE GENDERS OF OUR CHILD SOLDIERS AGAINST THEIR WILL! ”Im Ted Cruz and I support this message”
  16. Looking at it again, it looked so pathetic - putting aside him being in wheel chair and so down low, he looked like a small man who thought he was more important than he was, and it didn't seem like anybody around him gave a shit about him.
