  1. nsiap ... Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief A former senior KGB chief claims Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman https://bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/donald-trump-was-recruited-by-the-kgb-under-codename-krasnov-claims-former-soviet-spy-chief/ From the Guardian in 2021: ‘The perfect target’: Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book
  2. Yep. The best cons prey on the greed of the 'victim'.
  3. You know how I'm always going on about my sheer amazement at how fucking stupid Tommy Tuberville is? Yeah, welp. Here's exhibit #eleventy bazillion and 49: Tuberville forgets triangles exist while advocating for Pentagon cuts: ‘We need to make a trigon’. “Pete Hegseth has welcomed DOGE to come into the military. We need to start in the Pentagon. We need to make a trigon -- three sides -- instead of five sides in the Pentagon”. https://www.al.com/politics/2025/02/tuberville-forgets-triangles-exist-while-advocating-for-pentagon-cuts-we-need-to-make-a-trigon.html
  4. Any of y'all going out to COTA?
  5. Yes, so they burn through loads of engines on test beds to make their alloted race PUs reliable enough to last the season while getting the best performance possible. Very 'green', right? Disclaimer: I don't really care if racing is green or how many engines they build and destroy, because it's racing. Racing never was and never will be 'green'. What pisses me off is introducing idiotic parts limits that fuck up the sport, in a greenwashing attempt to appear sustainable, when the sport couldn't be farther from that.
  6. Supercars, too. Opening weekend, race 2 finish. That Monster Mustang is sexy af:
  7. Ah, okay. We're on the third base side. Forgot about the clock and can't see it.
  8. Yeah, we're at the game and nobody knows what the f*** happened. Little help?
  9. Similar thought here, except mine had the addendum "Fuck the Tkachuk borthers and their fucking dad, too".
  10. Looked to me like he leaned into that ...
  11. Yep, he's already dismissed lowering prices as "really hard to do" (yeah, no shit, Dotard) after berating Biden for it for years. And then there's all the batshit crazy, illegal, and/or authoritarian shit he IS doing that was never mentioned during the campaign. Or how about trying to destroy the judiciary and the legislative branches following P2025 to the letter, despite claiming during the campaign that he knew nothing about it? "Done what the voters elected him for"? LOL, gtfo with that idiotic shit, @Texasborn91. OK then how about all those other prices he's gonna lower, like grocery prices in general? Oh wait. That's right. He already gave up on that, because it's hard.
  12. Thanks for the heads-up. Pritzker doing some solid work there. He clearly hates Illinois Nazis. ETA: I guess the link I posted got taken down. It had the whole episode, but here's all I see now)
  13. 100% badass. I'd follow her into battle anytime. "It's not the Real World, Sean. It's real life for New Yorkers". Heh. Nice.
  14. Behind the scenes of the F1 movie ...
  15. I'm liking that RB a whole lot. IMHO if one of RB and RBR were going to go white, it shoulda been RBR, leaving RB free to continue running last year's gorgeous livery. The AM will be a dog again this year, but at least it's still gorgeous. The Merc & RBR are samey samey, but still look good. The rest are ass. McLaren's camo (or whatever they called it) livery would be better than what they're rolling out there nowadays. Haas & BWT wtf?
  16. Yep. If Trump were deliberately running a Russian game plan, what would he be doing differently? AFAIK, the answer would be: Nothing.
  17. Yep, get your Swastikar now, built by Elon Muskolini aka Adolf Twitler! Biggest selection evarrrr!
  18. ‘Dear King Donald the Magnificent’ – A Letter From One Troubled Monarch to Another King Charles congratulates Donald Trump on his “magnificent accomplishment” in restoring monarchical rule to America, imagines Alexandra Hall Hall https://bylinetimes.com/2025/02/18/donald-trump-king-charles-monarchy-oligarchy/
  19. Yeah, I'm just catching up & I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk here about Dotard yet again blaming Ukraine for "starting the war" with Russia, and now calling Zelensky "a dictator". Water is dry. Down is up. White is black. Bizarro World is in full effect. At least Zelensky is firing back. Good for him.
  20. This. Beat me to it. Or at least smaller cars that can follow one another closely. @faps said: Yeah my buddy is a friend of Leigh's and says he is as nice of a guy as you could ever hope to meet, but he doesn't like his commentary either. And yeah, going back to NBC's commercial breaks would be a beating. I'd just have to watch every race delayed so I could FF through them. Whoever gets the next contract, they'd probably be wise to seek out sponsors who would allow for ad-free races, at a minimum.

  22. If it's NBC, we'll be soooo fucked. So. Many. Commercials. They make everything damn near unwatchable. NBC ruins every sport they touch.
  23. Exactly. It doesn't have to be Pete doing it, but he'd be a logical choice given his ability to calmly paint a clear picture and relate topics in easily understandable language. The party needs a place people can go to for news and a focus. I'm not hung up on who they would choose to do that job. I'd prefer it to be one person, but they could even do it on some kind of rotating basis. The main thing, however, is that it needs to be done and could be a great tool imho.
  24. It was ok when we got it in 2023, but it wasn't worth the extra money, really. But this deal could end our access to F1TV if whomever wins the rights also negotiates the rights to all the added content that comes on F1TV. That's already the case in some countries.
