  1. “The Clash of lies..”
  2. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/russia-using-spare-oil-refining-capacity-offset-ukrainian-drone-damage-sources-2025-11-13/ Answering my own question, partly, this article suggest that it’s still not as bad as we had hoped it would be because apparently Russia has other refining capacity that was not being used, and which went online to mitigate the production losses from the September-October attacks. I have to note that saying “industry sources” is not the depth of information that we should rely on if those industry sources are the Russians. But Reuters… If true, this does show Russian resilience - for a timeframe anyway. Albert Spear was a genius and kept Nazi war production going despite night and day bombing at a rate that was truly impressive. But that was a matter of when, and not if, the war economy would collapse. But it also occurs to me if they have to start up previously non-producing smaller refineries, they can’t set up decent air defenses everywhere for them. If they can’t stop their largest refineries from getting hit multiple times, the smaller ones in Dogpatch Russia are going to be easy targets over time because they are running out of Pantsirs and S-400s. And I would bet they are not moving any out of Moscow or St. Petersburg in any event. Political priorities versus strategic priorities.
  3. Has anyone found a credible estimate of the percentage of refining capacity at which Russia is currently operating? At one point, I recall that an estimated 20% of refining capacity was impacted, but that was a week or two ago. Lots of great information about Shadow Fleet tankers full of oil not being able to dock anywhere, and multiple nations scrutinizing the shadow fleet movements after the sanctions were imposed. With the additional sweet goodness of all those ports transferring oil being hit, do we have any idea about the percentage of normal Kremlin sold oil being reduced? They have to be hemorrhaging money and deeply in need of that revenue. Add to that the fact that they need to actually buy gasoline from other countries now to meet their domestic needs. Somebody has to be keeping score.
  4. When the former convicts turn on you…

  8. Tick-tock Cocks. Eat that up and get more points.
  9. Poli-sci geek that I am, this is setting up an excellent canary in the coal mine situation when Marge is up for reelection against Trump’s endorsement. This will be a good test on if (and by how much) MAGA will turn on their orange God. This is the race I want to see decent polls on in the near future. if Teflon Don is having any problems, it’ll show up there.
  10. Dusty has been fellating them as well.
  11. Taylor apparently on her way to a cocktail party after she leaves the game at half
  12. Penn State was great at identifying a potential head coach who can’t win critical games.
  13. 30-3 halftime. is that bad? Because that sounds bad.
  14. You’re half right
  15. lol. fg time

  18. I absolutely believe that this meme will be the thing that makes him go completely unhinged - instead of Epstein or tariffs. And not a soul among his handlers will tell him why people keep showing posters of smiling Clinton as he drives by
  19. He watches child porn, but can’t touch himself. And they say there’s no God…
  20. The judges would also accept “and then Bill gave Dobby a crusty sock”
  21. I believe that’s a difference between Gregorian and Julian airframes.
