  1. A President of the United States still echoing Putin's talking points. I can just imagine him if he saw Red Dawn back in 1984 - "I don't know why those kids didn't just surrender when Soviet, Cuban and Nicaraguan soldiers landed in Colorado. The war was clearly over." The only good thing is he despises losing and there's no way Russia can sustain the current campaign against their O&G by the Ukrainians, and they damned sure can't cover it up, so he'll look like an idiot when Russians are standing in line for gas and can't heat their homes this winter. The flip side is we are apparently doing to Venezuela what Russia tried to do to Ukraine, and that's exactly the kind of thing Trump understands - hostile takeovers. I would like to think Zelenskyy knew they wouldn't get Tomahawks (it's been obvious for a while) but wanted something lesser so by asking for something he can't get he gets something lesser, and Trump thinks he's snubbing him by giving him something lesser. But it didn't sound like anything productive other than the US continuing to give up leadership of the free world. As somebody pointed out, "We went from all of Ukraine to surrendering, to the four oblasts and Crimea to now just Donetsk lol"
  2. It's now a "fire at a workshop" and never "damaged a single-point-of-failure processing tower thing that the whole refinery relies on and if it goes out of commission the refinery is shut down".
  3. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-drones-cause-fire-russian-gas-plant-governor-says-2025-10-19/
  4. @PTINS don’t know if this a new thing but Ukraine apparently trying to finish off fuel depots and the like hence the second and third strikes.
  5. Who knew we would become Russia. So whose resources are we after now?
  6. Mr. Art of the Deal is ensuring that Massie will vote to release the files.
  7. He literally said he’s been deceived his whole life. If you walk into a room wondering who the mark is, you’re the mark.
  8. So now we are getting Venezuela’s resources.
  9. We know who is getting punished.
  10. A 50-mile tunnel that uses off-the-lot Teslas, and the traffic is one-way and changes direction a few times a day.
  11. Trump thinks he can end the war and he’s afraid Tomahawks would escalate the war.
  12. The dumbest fucking timeline.
  13. It would never work and I would love to see him trying to make it work. The only problem is we'd be pumping hundreds of billions of taxpayer money into Musk's companies.
  14. Roads are still open. That particularly railway stuck pretty far out from the coast. Just to add this - from the strike last night.
  15. UT leadership is trying to figure out how to sell it or spin it, otherwise the rejection notice would have been sent out. And it’s Friday, so they’ll put the acceptance letter out tonight.
  16. The northern rail line along the coast is apparently out of commission - blocked by a wrecked Russian train and no ability to repair it as its within drone range of the front lines.
  17. I would like to share your optimism, and I would like to think the law school and the alumni orgs have the leadership’s ear, but Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick also have the leadership’s ear, and Abbott is so desperate to please Trump. It also feels like a letter of rejection is quicker and easier to write than a letter of acceptance that you have to sell to the student body, profs, and alumni.
  18. Putin: Our gas exports are down, but they will grow! It's great news that Europe no longer buys Russian gas, we now sell to "more promising, responsible buyers" (at a huge discount).
  19. [Q]: Did president Putin try to dissuade you from selling Tomahawk missiles? President Trump: Of course. What do you think he's going to say, "Please sell Tomahawks"? I did actually say, "Would you mind if I gave a couple of thousand Tomahawks to your opposition?" I said it just that way. [Q]: And what was his response? Trump: He really didn't like the idea. [Q]: What did you tell him [Putin] about the Tomahawks? Did you discuss the Tomahawk missiles? President Trump: Well, we talked about it a little bit, didn't say much. But I do say to you: you know, we need Tomahawks for the United States of America, too. We have a lot of them, but we need them.
