  1. The people who know Russian oppression are with Ukraine. And Japan is with them.
  2. Canadians are still helping, too.
  3. Ukraine still has friends

  5. Funny enough, she just gave her first major public appearance and spoke at the NCAA. https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/kamala-harris-naacp-image-awards-trump-rcna193497
  6. That bird was caught red-handed with the Red Hand of Ulster.
  7. There's got to be about 40 counties around the state that get a population boost of at least 1,000 each because of the way we count prisoners as part of the apportionment process. See, prisoners are counted as residents of where they are held, not where they are from. Of course, the vast majority of these prisoners are from the big cities (not because they're inherently more dangerous, but because that's where the vast majority of people live). There's a shitload of these smaller, rural counties where the prisoner population accounts for 10, 15, 20% of the population, and they get that extra population boost in their district of people that don't vote, therefore having zero influence on their politics, that gives the rural areas an outsized voice through over-representation and that doesn't even take into account the gerrymander.

  9. I'd say the way he responded to the threat in the six months leading up to the invasion and the six months after were indeed brilliant. Then, shit got bogged down through the Admin's hesitation on ramping up the lethal hardware more quickly. Everything became too hesitant and cautious afterward. And now that I think of it, I wonder if it was around that point when Biden really began to fade, and others started inserting themselves and influencing decisions.
  10. Also, profit-seeking psychopaths.
  11. Gotdam! Jon is on fire in this clip. He gets so upset he absolutely fucks up his hand; it starts bleeding but he keeps going. Jesus, this is what we need. Not just anger but his message. Holy shit. Seriously, this is epic.
  12. I remember doing that same drive at 4am, rushing to get to the hospital, since the baby decided to arrive three weeks early. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
  13. Yeah, well, "we" threw away the fucking pandemic playbook put together after years of careful planning on the orders of a fat fucking dotard, so we had to start from fucking scratch while that same piece of shit botched the response at almost every other fucking turn.
  14. Everything is better with maps, so I slapped one together using a free site. Below, you'll find the nations that openly sided with Russia in the UN vote posted above and some logical groupings. Let's call this one Putin's buddies: Russia (Putin), Belarus (Lukashenko), Hungary (Orban), North Korea (Kim), Eritrea (Afwerki), Nicaragua (Noriega) African countries with an Africa Corps (fka Wagner) presence: Sudan, Central African Republic, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea Others: Burundi: Russia signed some kind of nuclear energy deal with them in 2023. Haiti: These poor bastards probably just vote however we tell them. Israel United States, plus dependencies. That's it. That's all of 'em. Here's your New World Order.
  15. My rule is to only neg: 1) lies, 2) trolling, and 3) bigotry. If someone comes in here and can't avoid doing one of those three things, they're not worth talking to.
  16. Instead of 600 scattered throughout that metro area, I prefer to picture a concentration of 600 empty houses, making up an entire neighborhood and falling into Detroit-style disrepair.
  17. Fun historical fact. Once you peacefully install a fascist, you cannot peacefully remove them.
  18. "Watch John Oliver DESTROY Mark Zuckerburg!!!" No, but seriously, this is a 30-minute beat down.
  19. I was just commenting on this last sentence and got cracked up with pictures in my head about what YOU PEOPLE (the Surly collective, excluding your debonairness, of course) might look like with your purchased munitions.
  20. The revolution will Not be televised, and I'm here for it.
  21. Are you suggesting a Surly Army? Shit, talk about Gravy Seals.
  22. Indeed. We are one of just 18 countries in the world willing to go on record REFUSING TO CONDEMN RUSSIA'S INVASION & OCCUPATION, INCLUDING THE GENOCIDE. Let it soak in. All of it. Go down the list and consider each one specifically. This is the company we keep, a bunch of "shithole" countries and bad actors: Belarus Burkina Faso Burundi Central African Republic North Korea Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Haiti Hungary Israel Mali Marshall Islands Nicaragua Niger Palau Russia Sudan United States of America
