  1. Yeah, technology has gotten better ten fold but the human in us is still dumb enough to go to war over a piece of land. I guess no matter how technology advanced our civilization gets our species stays the same.
  2. There was that time when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and FDR declared war on Japan. I believe ex President Herbert Hoover said something like, “the Japs are good people and this all the USA’s fault and we deserved to be attacked and FDR is a loser.” Then again I could be wrong on that Hoover statement and Trump really is the first piece of shit ex president to attack a sitting President during a crisis.
  3. I know I shouldn’t be listening to it but CNN went to commercial so I switched to hear what they have to say. If you only watch Fox News and believe what they are saying you would hear Trump and Laura Ingraham blaming Biden for this, Iran, Afghanistan, the high gas prices this will cause, and anything else they can. I am quite irate watching this knowing the damage it does to the country I love.
  4. Trump is on Fox News right now commentating on the war. He is blaming the weakness of the Afghanistan withdrawal on why Putin is doing this.
  5. Check your sarcasm meter or any of my thousand other posts on politics. Biden has nothing to do with this and has done all he could to try and stop a mad man bent on war. I can’t figure out what the right wing media is doing as some are saying Putin is a great guy and others seem to be trying to bait Biden into sending the US into full out war against Russia.
  6. I’m pretty sure the few Republicans living in Portland would cheer for this even as the mushroom clouds engulfed them.
  7. I hear your argument and I see your points but do you not find it strange that Tucker felt the need to go on national TV and defend Putin? We are talking about a bad guy in Putin and there is no grey area about it. Putin is pure evil and it shouldn’t really matter if you are a conservative or a liberal, a Democrat or a Republican. If half the country is going to be brainwashed by Fox News to be on Putin’s side then Putin has already won and the US is finished. Where is that door to Brisket’s ledge again?
  8. It should really make people wonder why when a foreign leader is about to invade (or already has invaded a country) would Tucker Carlson go on TV to defend him to his United States audience. I get free speech and all that but the CIA/NSA/FBI should really be looking into what Fox News is broadcasting at this point. It seems like Putin is bankrolling Tucker (or the Republican party) and since this is considered “news” it is as dangerous as yelling “fire” in a crowded movie theater if not more so. I have a hard time believing that someone could have given Walter Cronkite some money back in the day and then he would go on national TV and tell us all about how Khrushchev is really a good guy since he didn’t try and take your jobs or call you a racist. I prefer not to throw the word, “traitor” around too lightly but between Trump/Tucker/etc… we really are seeing traitors to our country and they aren’t even hiding it.
  9. I’m pretty sure any day now, Fox News will be saying it’s actually Antifa invading Ukraine and not Russia.
  10. I agree with the bolded part. This chimpanzee reminds me of the current Republican party.
  11. You forgot about that tan suit and grey poupon. I mean if we are going to do the both sides thing then let’s put everything out there that equals trying to overthrow the government. Sadly, this whole Ukraine thing is a shit deal for everyone opposed to Russian expansion. You either go to war with them or sit back and watch him take one country after the other. If the leader of a powerful nation wants to start WWIII it seems like its not that hard to do apparently. I’m not sure sanctions will work as he may just continue to take back the old USSR. When was the last time some guy in charge of a powerful country started invading his neighboring countries in Europe?
  12. If Trump was still President he would be sending US troops on the side of the Russians to help Putins peace keeping mission in Ukraine.
  13. It’s basically hypnotoad for the Right.
  14. Yeah, not every hour probably. Saw it a couple of times, but I don't watch much Fox. Maybe they are floating the trial balloon to see how it goes over.
  15. Is that 2023 recruiting nightmares? I think Arch Manning solves that. Sorry, I didn’t mean to Recruiting Board up the Cloak Room.
  16. Actually, Fox News has been pushing the Biden is handling this Ukraine deal poorly. They had some R on yesterday saying we should have done sanctions already and that would have stopped Putin from invading. Basically, they are trying to frame it so if Putin invades then it was Biden’s fault because he didn’t do the sanctions early enough.
  17. I would guess 80% of Republicans would answer Hillary Clinton to this question.
  18. Anybody know who this David Cutcliffe guy is? In all seriousness, David is actually the brother in law of Eddie Oran (David is married to Eddie’s sister). I wonder if Eddie helped put in a good word for UT since I think he is still doing UT Basketball games.
