  1. Uther name checks out
  2. It may have said “Norma”. Which is obviously trans-hatred towards normal people.
  3. Putin 5D chess - “Let’s get Poland up to speed on drone warfare”
  4. I can’t imagine that Russia has a lot of spare air defense assets to protect troops involved in the Belarus exercise. I have no idea what Air defense assets Belarus has on its own. I just assumed that Russia had “borrowed” them in the interim. if that is correct, I would imagine that the combination of Polish and Nordic air power would wreck some shop if they attacked - with France, Germany, and the British yet to follow. I assume the United States would evaluate the article 5 consequences for two weeks…. If Russia did bring air defense assets with them, that is robbing Peter to pay Paul, and Ukraine should be lobbing drones and flamingos at more infrastructure right now. I can’t imagine in this day and age of satellite imagery and communications theft that the Russian exercise Air defense question has not been answered.
  5. oh, I hear ya. But I don’t believe that all of those who voted for Trump are Kool-Aid drinkers. Most, absolutely. But in elections were small, single digit percentages decide the outcome, proof that he allied with Russia to steal the election and is probably letting innocent civilians in Ukraine die to prevent Russia from telling us that has to give pause to at least some of those people. I don’t think that the Rogan Bros are totally in on everything he says. A lot of those idiots are attracted to him because he is a successful winner in their minds. If he is a cheating loser who is such a wimp he can be blackmailed by Putin, that undercuts some of his attractiveness to that crowd. It doesn’t make any difference, it’s all hypothetical, and we are stuck with the orange toddler in chief until the next election or coup.
  6. As historically a Trump denial gives you a good indication of what actually happened, Trump‘s emphasis on debunking the “Russia Russia Russia” hoax means that Russia was actively engaged in interfering with the election process. we already know this. I therefore assume that Russia has all the evidence of communications with, and assistance to Trump in the various elections, all of which would be actually illegal. And given that orange narcissist ‘s need to say he won bigly, Putin providing evidence that he got Trump elected would in fact be a problem for Trump. My opinion is based on nothing but the already proven evidence Russia actively assisted Trump in the election - and the unfortunate existence of the Roger Stones and Paul Manaforts in the world. I refuse to believe that Russia’s activities weren’t even greater than the evidence we have. Putin challenging that Trump actually won the elections fairly would, I think, be a threat sufficient to blackmail him on other issues like Ukraine.
  7. Immamac, not stirring shit, but I think sticking a “fatally” between Kirk and shot would be an appropriate thread title edit.
  8. The shooter getting away after shooting wouldn’t be impossible, but I imagine it would be difficult for the shooter to get away carrying his rifle. If parking access at that campus is as shitty as parking access is at most campuses, I doubt his getaway vehicle was close. I’m assuming the FBI will create a perimeter and then start working inward looking for either the weapon or somebody with a weapon. So I assume they have shut off streets and are searching vehicles near campus. Or maybe Special Agent Johnson of the FBI is shutting down the power to the whole area.
  9. that is a pretty solid take
  10. The miracle is that it hasn’t happened as much as it has. Tommy Jefferson’s Tree of Liberty watering comment and all…
  11. Baitin’? I don’t condone political violence just like I don’t condone kink shaming.
  12. I believe that the noted philosopher Mr. William Munny addressed this issue previously. But I must note that your comment is not “news” related - and my comment is not news related - so I suggest we all stick to pure news.
  13. Imma, I did not see your post before I posted this.
  14. Sadly, it appears that there were no good men with guns at the rally. I have it on good authority that good men with guns can stop all crimes.
  15. Narrator: “ There was kompromat”
  16. Reagan was the ultimate Cold Warrior. Trump?
  17. “Pardon me, Sir, but do you happen to have seen any Orcs lately?”
  18. I was talking to someone I’ve known since the 70s, my older brother’s college roommate. He lives in Florida and the subject of Florida no longer requiring your kids to vaccinate to go to school was raised. He knows this one young man who was anti-vaccine and will not let his daughter be vaccinated with anything. I told him that if the daughter winds up with polio or some lifetime disabling disease that someone needs to give dad the Mussolini treatment. He instantly got offended and said he was a good man. He was just not smart in the ways of vaccines. I said that’s the problem with you MAGAs - you literally will forgive someone destroying his daughter‘s life or killing her because he refuses to educate himself on a topic where he knows there are two sides. He told me, “I don’t wanna talk politics, maybe we’ll talk later” and hung up on me. He doesn’t know it yet, but that’s the last discussion I’m ever having with him on anything. He’s the biggest misogynist you could ever find, his dad was a flat racist wife beater, and his whole world is now involved around his re-found evangelical Christianity. I guess he falls into the category of people you don’t necessarily respect that much, but have known for 50 years. Well, I know him, but I’m no longer going to interact with him. Not surprisingly, I’m one of the few people who will still talk to him - other than his friends at church who hate the crime inclined Mexicans - and who are deathly afraid of trans people. Like Jesus said to do. edit: I know this is not the vaccine thread, but my post was in a response to the issue of people being not as bad due to stupidity instead of moral cowardice. I don’t care why you support things that will cause other people to be injured and or die unnecessarily. If you support those things then decent people should tell you -“You are not one of the decent people. Go live your life amongst the scum. You do not deserve the friendship of decent people.” I have moved to the realization that not shaming people for their loathsome views is actually rewarding and enabling them - as going on with their life without consequences of any kind for their beliefs is actually the decent people enabling their views via a lack of condemnation.
  19. If he can run his own electrical bike store, then he’s not disabled now is he?
  20. “ I think he’s awful, but he protected my values….” So let’s dig a little deeper
  21. and not good for the ticker…
