  1. Once y’all have some coffee, can somebody give me a quick rundown of the maninblack drama? Without directly repeating his lies? Are we talking out and out pro Russia shit, or more mealy mouthed just asking questions? knowing the shit the other side is spilling is part of my job as a lobbyist and it’s just a habit now.
  2. As somebody who was told their would be no math, I agree. I’m not sure how Elon Musk walking in and throwing napalm on everything is going to fix it, but it’s very entertaining to watch.
  3. Pam Grier makes my pants tight. More obvious news after this word from our sponsors
  4. I’ve got a coworker who I can’t stand but he has the best line about this (since I work in down town DC): When the Sirens go off, Ima hit the liquor store and head to the White House. Ain’t gonna feel a thing.
  5. What do you think every smoker on the planet talks about when they go outside to burn one with a coworker? Hint: It’s not to praise their boss. More importantly, when the non smokers follow you outside to “get some fresh air” you’ve got a quiet quitting mutiny on your hands.
  6. Live look at NATO partners trying to control Poland rn:
  7. I seriously doubt it's intentional. In the least, you just gave NATO the right to declare a no fly zone over Ukraine.
  8. He got margin called. Dudes as rich as he is don't get margin called. They just move the debt to somebody else who happily takes it. That tells you exactly what banks think about him.
  9. Once again, DC isn't plugged into America's emerging female and LGBTQ electorate.
  10. I did 2 every other week from 2008 till this fall, and get on really well with my coparent. It got easier when I met my second wife, but still, it was a fucking beating at times. I remain eternally jealous of people that have grandparents living in their local community who they can call in for close air support. And to @Brothahorn: Benedryl is a single parent’s best friend.
  11. It's a money laundering pump and dump ponzi scheme. How the fuck is this a 19 page cloakroom thread? Oh, wait, some of y'all actually gave money to these grifters.....didn't you?
  12. They also have basic income system that the GOP loves. It’s politics are weird AF
  13. I think those reasons had to do with hauling in crops on the eastern seaboard/actual Sunday observance/dirt road travel. As somebody who has lived from Texas to Maine: the first two weeks in November is actually the most affable travel season of the year: post hurricane, pre big snowstorms, post harvest.
  14. I’ve said it many times: if part of your core platform is making it harder for people to vote, it’s because your ideas suck and people don’t like them.
  15. The territories don’t need a constitutional amendment. You can make them states whenever. That’s a power solely reserved to Congress and the executive through law making. DC is unclear, since voting for DC was made through a constitutional amendment and it’s not clear if the entire district can be abolished without a constitutional amendment. Most DC advocates think the way mostly likely to survive a challenge, even with this court, is to shrink the District down to just the immediate land of Congress, Supreme Court, Mall, and White House, and turn the remaining land into a new state. There’s nothing in the constitution that mandates the size and shape of DC and the Court already allowed a boundary change when it retrocessed Arlington and Alexandria into VA.
  16. Speaking of which, have you gotten your Soros check yet? Maybe my direct deposit is messed up.
  17. What if Chuck Grassley is actually dril?
  18. I suspect the early Winter will look more like the late Summer for Ukraine: probing attacks and careful reconnaissance to fully map out the Russian lines and understand exactly where the weak points are located. Enhanced coordinated partisan activity Behind enemy lines. At some point they will launch another offensive, but the Ukrainians have shown they are very good at understanding what they don’t know and filling the information gaps before acting.
  19. Great, now I have an intense desire to go listen to some Dwight Yoakum and Buck Owens.
  20. Much like taco trucks on every corner, I’m down with more drag brunches.
  21. To be a bit rude: A bunch of rural whites are not showing up to choose between two black men running for United States Senate.
  22. Their both westerns, just two very different westerns. One is very intimate, character driven, almost claustrophobic. The other very sweeping and open. It's like the first half is Pale Rider and the second half is a bit Dances with Wolves. It's very different from say, Unforgiven, which always feels like the same movie, regardless of character or setting.
  23. In Face Of Battle, Keegan talks about how something like a quarter or more of the French casualties were when they broke and ran at Waterloo. I don’t remember the exact number but turning and running rather than surrendering is about the most dangerous thing you can do on an active battlefield. Humans remain violent primates at our core that see a fleeing back with incredible savagery.
