  1. i'm relieved most showed up he would have declared martial law if the dems no showed fingers crossed there is no mass walk-out before this is over
  2. the winning play is take all of his worst lies tonight and inject them in to every stream, influencer, instatube
  3. they absolutely can do that smilefuck the fascists in dc message truman on social - inject it in to every algorithm, every stream, fight fire with fire - tonight is not the venue for the fight let's say the dems do a walkout - that gives gasbag all he needs to declare martial law
  4. this the hate engine is already lined up to sieg heil whatever he says, mtg behavior from the dems will play great around the world but domestically it's useless
  5. on last night's oscars there were several digs at the public at large about the loss of 1000 screens over the past couple of years this was the starter kit: not that the academy will ever read this, but a surl discussion of this topic will be interesting why is the public cinema endangered? - the #1 reason I dislike the public cinema is the assault on my retinas and eardrums for 15, 20 sometimes 25 minutes showing previews for films I WILL NOT PATRONIZE in any format - #2: the price of concessions is assrape; 2 hfcs sodas and a popcorn is now $25 bringing the total expenditure to $50; and i hate hfcs; if theater owners can't make money on your film without $10 sodas then maybe the art houses and alamos of the world are the only theaters that should remain in business - #3: you want us to patronize your best work, but it's not available; the brutalist was released on the coasts on december 20th to make your oscar deadline, nationally on january 24th and has made $10m in 5 weeks; i had never heard of it before last night; today in north texas, with 8 million residents, the brutalist is showing at 410pm at the mockingbird angelika and at 440pm at the grapevine mills amc; houston: 2 screens, 3 showings, austin, belton & el paso round out the cities where the brutalist is showing less than 10 times today in a state of 28 million people - #4: the shopping mall was a 20th century construct overtaken by the digital age; while b&m retains it's foothold in certain segments, the advent of 82" in-home theater for the masses has already made large-screen projection obsolete for theatrical art (captain america is not theatrical art)
  6. does the tower know about this? are they going to bring in boots to suppress the protests again?
  7. a cat5 with wormsign the likes of which even god has never seen is going to take dead aim at MAL on labor day weekend god has a plan
  8. in our noon hour on cnn a pub said "dotard is trying to thread the needle" in that having the reason for the rare earths shakedown is so the us can have an economic presence in ukraine because nato can't & won't admit ukraine or get involved at this stage, and this economic presence is the security guarantee convoluted, but logical - except if this was the play why the fuck didn't they spin it this way on the 21st of january? somebody on the inside should get a medal +++ in the past hour johnson has said we're not aligned with russia and dotard now says the rare earths deal is still alive they fucking got their clock cleaned overnight and now they are backpedaling +++ the live updates page on cnn has all of it
  9. at this morning's huddle, the minions had to explain to mr. dotard that the europeans have a plan that does not include Z rolling over so, let's pivot 180 degrees back to tariffs which were supposed to be a month away, but instead we will bring them forward 30 days with no warning, and of course no preparation every day is a new wag the dog total chaos omaha oracle on tariffs yesterday on cbs: https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/business/warren-buffett-tariffs-trump/index.html
  10. Z taking the high road, no doubt in concert with counsel taken this weekend imho it feels like the king, macron, starmer & merz are building a firewall around madman Z's UK exit presser only in ukranian validates the "cards" lost-in-translation idea - he will not be ambushed again collectively, europe will run circles around dotard's dipshits - it's not even close to an even contest: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/02/zelenskyy-offers-no-apology-to-trump-as-he-says-row-brought-nothing-positive?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us this is not about Z but is important to the real politik as events unfold: https://theconversation.com/germanys-chancellor-in-waiting-prioritizes-real-independence-from-the-us-but-what-does-that-mean-and-is-it-achievable-250708
  11. europe laughs heartily at dotard's nobel lust before it's all over, we should place a prop bet in vegas for his eventual exit 1) qualifying for and 2) actually winning the darwin award the year he exits

  23. Certifiably Surly 2.4k #10362 Posted Friday at 02:45 PM Expecting a really strong pro-Ukraine statement from one of our two brave Senators after getting this email today: Dear Greaseball Bob: Thank you for contacting me regarding U.S. policy in response to the war in Ukraine. I appreciate the benefit of your comments on this matter. Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, violating Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Thanks to the bravery of Ukrainian soldiers and weaponry supplied by the U.S. and its allies, the vast majority of the country's territory remains in Ukrainian hands; however, the war has caused significant human suffering and economic devastation. Recognizing the immense human cost of this war, President Trump and his administration began negotiations with Ukraine and Russia to bring about an end to hostilities and ensure a durable peace. The U.S. made significant investments in Ukraine's defense, the majority of which have been invested back into our defense industrial base and U.S. forces. President Trump is now working to secure a critical minerals agreement with Ukraine that can promote Ukrainian economic development, repay the U.S. for its assistance to Ukraine during the war, and serve as a deterrent to Russia. Vladimir Putin's history of territorial expansionism demonstrates that Ukraine, the U.S., and its allies must ensure that there exists a credible deterrent to prevent further Russian aggression directed toward Ukraine or NATO member states. We cannot signal to other adversaries threatening our country's security and trade interests, such as China, North Korea, and Iran, that aggression will go unpunished. As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I look forward to engaging with my colleagues and the administration on this issue. As your representative in the United States Senate, I appreciate the opportunity to hear your views and concerns about U.S. policy towards Ukraine. I will keep your thoughts in mind as these matters are considered in the 119th Congress. Thank you for taking the time to contact me. Sincerely, JOHN CORNYN United States Senator +++ DEAR JOHN: EUROPE SAYS SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9vygkzkkrvo Starmer announces 'coalition of the willing' to guarantee Ukraine peace 2 hours ago Vicky Wong BBC News UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a four-point plan to work with Ukraine to end the war and defend the country from Russia. The UK, France and other countries will step up their efforts in a "coalition of the willing" and seek to involve the US in their support for Ukraine, he said. "We are at a crossroads in history today," Starmer said after a summit of 18 leaders - mostly from Europe and including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said Ukraine felt "strong support" and the summit showed "European unity at an extremely high level not seen for a long time". It comes two days after a fiery exchange between the Ukrainian leader and US President Donald Trump in the White House. "We are all working together in Europe in order to find a basis for cooperation with America for a true peace and guaranteed security," Zelensky said after the summit. Speaking at a news conference shortly after the meeting of leaders, Starmer said four points had been agreed: to keep military aid flowing into Ukraine, and to keep increasing the economic pressure on Russia that any lasting peace must ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and security and Ukraine must be present at any peace talks in the event of a peace deal, to boost Ukraine's defensive capabilities to deter any future invasion to develop a "coalition of the willing" to defend a deal in Ukraine and to guarantee peace afterwards Sir Keir also announced an additional £1.6bn ($2bn) of UK export finance to buy more than 5,000 air defence missiles. This comes on top of a £2.2bn loan to provide more military aid to Ukraine backed by profits from frozen Russian assets. "We have to learn from the mistakes of the past, we cannot accept a weak deal which Russia can breach with ease, instead any deal must be backed by strength," he said. The prime minister did not state which countries had agreed to join this coalition of the willing, but said that those who had committed would intensify planning with real urgency. The UK, he said, would back its commitment with "boots on the ground, and planes in the air". "Europe must do the heavy lifting," he said, before adding that the agreement would need US backing and had to include Russia, but that Moscow could not be allowed to dictate terms. "Let me be clear, we agree with Trump on the urgent need for a durable peace. Now we need to deliver together," Sir Keir said. When asked if the US under Trump was an unreliable ally, he said: "Nobody wanted to see what happened last Friday, but I do not accept that the US is an unreliable ally." Countries at the summit included France, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, Norway, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Finland, Italy, Spain and Canada. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that there was now an urgent need to "re-arm Europe". These sentiments were echoed by Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte, who said the meeting had seen European countries "stepping up" to make sure Ukraine has what it needs to "stay in the fight as long as it has to continue". After the summit, Zelensky went to Sandringham where he met King Charles III. He later spoke to reporters at a final press briefing where he said he was ready to sign a deal on minerals with the US. Ukraine was expected to sign the deal - which would grant the US access to Ukraine's rare mineral reserves - during Zelensky's visit to Washington, but the Ukrainian delegation ultimately left early after a heated confrontation with Trump in the Oval Office. Earlier on Sunday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned a deal on minerals between the US and Ukraine could not be signed "without a peace deal" with Russia. But when asked by the BBC about the future of the deal following the summit, Zelensky said it was ready to be signed. "The agreement that's on the table will be signed if the parties are ready," he said. Sunday's summit concludes a hectic week of diplomacy, which included visits to Washington by French President Emmanuel Macron, Sir Keir and Zelensky. Zelensky's meeting, however, culminated in a heated exchanged with Trump and US Vice-President JD Vance, in which the US president accused his Ukrainian counterpart of "gambling with World War Three". Trump has said he wants to end the war in Ukraine and has expressed trust in Russian President Vladimir Putin, to the consternation of many of his Western allies. The US has also begun peace talks with Russia - excluding Ukraine. At one point, the US leader accused Ukraine of starting the war - even though it was Putin who launched a full-scale invasion of Russia's neighbour on 24 February 2022.
