  1. This is the only thing that will make any of the rural/red voters change their mind. As long as they can vote red, and see the people they hate get hated on by the government, without losing a dime, they'll keep voting that way. But if it personally costs them money to continue to do so, that's the only hope for change. I'm unconvinced that the Dems would be able to rise to the moment and capitalize on such a scenario. The Republicans are too good at giving idiots reasons to blame the Dems.
  2. Idiocracy writ large.
  3. It appears an unintended positive side effect of tfg's taco'ing is Europe stepping into the power vacuum. This may be a strategic negative in the long term if it leads them (as so many things seem to be doing these days) to the conclusion that they're better off without the headache of a fickle US.
  4. The problem with railroad infrastructure is that it's easy to hit, but also easy to fix. Maybe they go after the engines with more enthusiasm?
  5. You’re assuming it has something to do with the United States Constitution. I wouldn’t be so sure.
  6. You didn’t need to. We got it.
  7. WELL if someone would've told me about that, maybe I would've!
  8. It's good to know we have a very steady hand on the tiller of government. They will be showing this in poli sci classes in the future as an exemplar of how to de-escalate a crisis.
  9. I laugh only to keep from crying.
  10. That's a great idea. I need to do that.
  11. Is Dallas close to Austin? For the record, I still have my taped together box of Richthofen's War stashed away in the closet. I sold Squad Leader/Panzer Leader/Panzer Blitz to Half Priced. I figured they'd sit on the shelves there for days. Nah. I saw them on the shelves once, and went back 24 hours later and they were gone. I like to think they were a treasure for the next generation of wargamers. But Richthofen's War was how I got into the war game scene via my older cousins. So I had to keep that one around.
  12. I mean I’ve seen a lot of talk about a shooter from left or right. What about an outsider who just wants to stir shit up more? Or someone who knew tfg was close to Kirk and wanted to send a message. Iran has an axe to grind against tfg. Putin wouldn’t be beyond an old mafia trick like this: “See what we can do?” Of course the most likely scenario is it’s some lone wolf American dude with some righteous grievance he’s been fomenting in the basement for years.
  13. Yet as we know from the first term, there is always a worse replacement, not a better one.
  14. So he was a terrorist too. Unsurprising.
  15. Now you're just taunting me.
  16. Upon further reflection, I think any thought of Russian invasion of Poland or event the Baltic States at this point is a nice kind of thought experiment, but wholly unlikely. The Russian military is a spent force offensively. Do they really want to go up against a fresh enemy dying to go after them in Poland? Is examining or expanding the cracks in-between NATO members really worth the risk? What if instead of driving them apart, he drives them together? I know Putin is a gambler, but I think even he doesn't want to gamble this big. No, this is really just a big poke in the eye to tfg, a way to further drive wedges in between NATO members without exposing himself to the real risk of actual combat with NATO. That's it.
  17. Depends on the scope of the brush fire...and that it doesn't expand into a wider conflagration. Would end poorly for Belorussia as well, I'd imagine.
  18. Getting out into the weeds here, while such evidence - presuming it exists - would damage tfg's ego, I'm not so sure it damages his brand. Those who have drunk the kool-aid, have, well, drunk the kool-aid. There is no fact that will make them pivot. They'll say, "Well, Putin was 'directionally correct'" and just keep on down their path of submission to their orange god. From there it's a short hop to "well if our orange idol says Ukraine is bad, and his buddy Putin says Ukraine is bad - then Ukraine bad." We're essentially there already.
  19. That only works if they believe you would follow through. And everything we've seen from current potus suggests he doesn't follow through on threats. Empty threats are really no threats at all, rather a sign of weakness.
