  1. They can airdrop crates of bottles labeled "radiator fluid" (whatever the Russian equivalent is) with rat poison in them. It might kill the kids though, the adults probably have a tolerance built up.
  2. Since every accusation is a confession, I would not be surprised if Nancy Mace has a VCHP (or a "vertical clitoral hood piercing" for you heathens).
  3. And the only one to rock this t-shirt
  4. Like smaller than 6.5 or 7 inches?
  5. Good thing that there's no natural disasters in Tennessee, Georgia, or North Carolina that could use some engineers. This is a total "LOOK AT ME DADDY TRUMP I'M DOIN STUFF 'BOUT THE BORDER!"
  6. I guessed they missed all of the social media posts showing National Guard and Army helicopters (and Coast Guard) picking up people including the folks that were on top of the hospital. I'm honestly surprised that Leon doesn't start shutting down more trending stuff that goes against his worldview.
  7. Where we are now and what can we expect in the coming months within the context of Russia's war in Ukraine: ◾️Ukraine and the world continue to await tensely for the results of the US elections. In the meantime, Ukraine and Russia continue active diplomatic actions to consolidate support for their allies. ◾️ Russia's primary focus is on discrediting Ukraine in the West, dividing our allies, and interfering in the US elections to divide Americans and increase instability. ◾️ During his visit to the US, President Zelensky met with President Biden and had meetings with presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. ◾️ Ukraine continues to destroy Russian military depots and military logistics; Ukraine produces its own drones and other weapons. ◾️ Russia increases its weapons and drones production as much as it can, despite sanctions. It uses weapons supplied by Russian allies - Iran and North Korea. There are reports that production of Russian Shahed drones has exceeded Russian original plans. ◾️ Russia is intensifying its strikes on Ukrainian cities, deliberately targeting apartment blocks, hospitals, and nursing homes. Its main purpose is to cause as much panic as possible, intimidate Ukrainians, and force them to leave their lands and homes. Strikes are unfortunately likely to continue, especially for Sumy and Kharkiv. Zaporizhzhia is now within the range of Russian KAB bombs, so it is likely to be under constant strikes as well. ◾️Despite the lack of "cannon fodder", Putin doesn't dare yet to announce open mobilization in Russia and increases hidden mobilization instead: increases payments for signing army contracts and recruits soldiers from other countries, including countries of Africa. Russia is increasing its presence there at an alarming rate which is very dangerous for this region. ◾️ In the coming month, the Russians will probably try to solve the "Kursk issue" at any cost. The "deadline" is likely set before the US elections at most but a desirable timeline for them is before the BRICS summit in Kazan (22-24 October) - to demonstrate to the BRICS guests that Russia is in control of the situation and is a serious partner. Otherwise, the situation when a part of Russia's territory is under Ukrainian control (when Putin had the intention to capture Ukraine "in three days" almost three years ago), is rather humiliating for Russia. During August and September, Russians have accumulated forces, have reformed and will now try to counterattack our troops. How the situation in Kursk region will develop depends on many factors and on the decisions that AFU leaders will make. ◾️ One of the key elements of these upcoming months are the elections in Moldova and Georgia at the end of October, where the influence of Russia and pro-Russian forces is enormous. ◾️We are likely to hear increased nuclear threats and other escalation rhetoric from Russia. ◾️Ukraine will face further problems due to electricity shortage. ◾️ Due to the escalation in the Middle East and the US elections, Ukraine is fading from the information field, which Russia is actively using, knowing that its crimes against Ukrainian civilians will not make the headlines in the Western media. Accordingly, many people outside Ukraine have the impression that the situation is getting better. But this is not the case at all: the situation is very tough and complicated. And it will continue to get worse. The largest war in Europe since the Second World War continues to rage on. The whole world is waiting for the US elections. The situation of strategic uncertainty will last at least until November. It is crucial to go through this period with a cool head, keeping the focus on Ukraine and showing Russia that the West does not withdraw its support. I'd like to end with a reminder of these Putin's words, which he said in June 2024. Nothing has changed for him: he intends to wage a war until the end. And it must become his own end. --------------- I highlighted a few things, but I think the big thing out of all of that, is Putin has to do something to get Ukraine out of Kursk. It's almost October.If he heads into the 3rd anniversary next February with a sizable chunk of Russian territory under Ukrainian control, well hell, I'm not even sure how the nightly talking heads can continue to shape that over the next two months. In recent weeks we've seen them go back and forth on what to do, and given that they are there at Putin's behest, and are supposed to reflect his views and/or be playing to him. It's almost schizophrenic the way they are handling this in the evening shows. I get that some of those talking heads are deliberately playing devil's advocate and that this is a long-time Russian behavior, but it's got to wear down whatever audience is still around.
  8. Lavrov reported that the first meeting of "the Friends of Peace" organized by China and Brazil was attended by France and Switzerland. This annoyed him. "I do not understand only one thing - how the French and the Swiss appeared at the meeting. The Swiss cannot be called neutral for a long time... The French are NATO members, they support Ukraine, demand victory over Russia, and supply long-range weapons. I asked my Chinese colleague, he says that they asked very much and were invited as observers," Lavrov said. In his opinion, "this group still has work to do." "We are ready to help them with advice, the main thing is that they should base their proposals on realities, not on abstract talks," Lavrov added. French just straight up trolling.
  9. The Danish Defense Minister, Troels Lund Poulsen, announced today in Kyiv, Ukraine, that Denmark is going to spend $600 million in defense equipment from Ukrainian manufacturers in order to bolster the Ukrainian army. This quite an excellent move. It benefits both, the Ukrainian army and industry. Source: Danish Defense Ministry People are saying it's the external smoke launchers that got hit, and that it didn't penetrate the turret.
  10. Just as long as parking lots or paying off porn stars don't come up in the debate, he'll be fine. Those two things are the only things Alina is an expert at.
  11. It's not fully about Trump - a lot of it is the team bullshit that's been building since the 80s and 90s, and that kicked into high gear in the 90s with Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Newt Gingrich, etc. Romney and McCain just weren't willing to tap into the hate the way the Trump does.

    And in a follow-up to that interview https://variety.com/2024/scene/news/will-ferrell-harper-steele-netflix-will-and-harper-election-day-1236158481/
  13. He coached high school football. There's nothing Vance or a moderator could say to him, that would approach what plenty of parents have hurled his way as a coach.
  14. Threw this together for anybody to throw up on Facebook or Twitter. Made it really quick when I heard the news so sorry for any typos
  15. Are you all trying to kill him?
  16. Wonder if all of the stuff that gets burned by the debris from the drones and missiles that Russia shoots down, I wonder if any of that infrastructure is reflected in the Moscow Exchange. Seems like their oil & gas industry have to be a little affected by that stuff.
  17. You shouldn't have cupped your balls, winked, and said "tell Angela I said hi!" and then just walked off.
  18. Nancy Kassebaum from Kansas publicly endorsed Harris as well.
