  1. I don’t think Ukraine needs the United States to hang on long enough for Russia to implode. Moscow and Saint Petersburg peeps aren’t going to stay silent in their luxury apartments without electricity or heat this winter. Russia has no air defense. This is only gonna get worse for Russia. Ukraine just needs to slow-roll any peace talks with the assistance of our European allies until they have enough stock for a 50 ICBM launch at more power plants. and then Russians can give each other IOU for potatoes for Christmas gifts.
  2. show your work.
  3. it’s probably good that I’m sitting in the Capital One lounge at the airport pounding free bloody Marys prior to flying to New York City for turkey day - because odds of getting arrested in New Orleans are greater than I’d prefer.
  4. I always suspected that swamp miasma caused autism.
  5. Refusing to release the new GDP figures will be seen as a positive. Amirite?
  6. With that many ICE people in town, it makes me sad that we no longer have malaria epidemics in New Orleans.
  7. If you don’t test them, then they don’t have Covid!
  8. We don’t. We rely on the bad economy and Epstein and ICE/tariffs/Ukraine to turn the many previously seldom-voting Trump enthusiasts into sitting this one out - and let the independents put us over the top. People stupid enough to believe that Trump will fix everything in one month are stupid enough to be angry at Trump that he did not.
  9. More turkey and sausage stuffing for you then…
  10. But how about that stock market, huh?
  11. “And I will slowly and violently pull out each and every one of his pubic hairs until Hunter Biden confesses. No matter how long I have to stare at his large penis…like Kaa, the snake, with a single mesmerizing eye urging, “trust in me!” * * this quotation was generated using AI, and has not been verified for accuracy.
  12. I have never flown a plane before, or taken flying lessons, so according to Bondi I am extremely qualified to fly a plane.
  13. if she gets to decide who Trump fires in some instances, that’s close enough
  14. In a perfect world, once the dismissal is affirmed Comey will file civil Malicious Prosecution charges against Bondi, Halligan, and the DOJ and be allowed to conduct discovery. I have no idea if the prosecutorial immunity that no doubt exists is qualified or absolute. But a discovery fight would be fun to watch
  15. Briscoe Cain is tan rested and ready…and can be a blonde if you really want that…
  16. Old Soviet Union, pensioners, yeah. Young people without the use of Internet and cell phones? When Germany attacked the Soviet Union the people were responding to suffering caused by someone else. Now they are suffering because of what Putin and Russia did. The contract the people made with Putin is “you can do what you want and get as rich as you want, and your friends can too, but in return, you agree to give us a reasonable lifestyle and some measure of financial and personal security” I have doubts that the entirety of Russia will furrow their brow and plod on. We’ll see.
  17. From what I understand, the James statute of limitations is 10 years from 2020. So that will ultimately be refiled, and then James will tee up the malicious selective prosecution defense again.
  18. Put here for fact, not commentary
  19. I am a flaming liberal. I haven’t changed at all, but I used to be a Rockefeller Republican. Then that went the way of the dodo. My political views are aligned with my only brother, so Thanksgiving is gonna be peaceful and drunken
  20. If sign my rocket is legit, I have to ask how much we have in the wreath fund?
  21. This was a great read, with its focus on trying to explain how Nazi control over Germany extended until the very end, even when it was clear they had lost the war. Americans would enter a village where 15 minutes earlier residence had put up white flags in an effort to prevent their village from being destroyed, only to find those citizens dead, executed for treason by fleeing Nazi officials and SS. While a fascinating read, I don’t think that is applicable to the current situation in Russia. I’m guessing, but it strikes me that loyalty in Russia exists only in so far as it allows an opportunity to steal or to be employed by oligarchs who steal. I don’t see unquestioned loyalty to Mother Russia, or unquestioned loyalty to Putin. Unlike Germany, that Russian loyalty is transactional and temporary, and will be discarded as soon as a Russian receives no benefit from that loyalty. Unlike Germany, when Russia folds, I think it will almost completely fold, and fold quickly. We will see.
  22. As twas always thus, the Victor owns the spoon!
  23. Bro - do you even extended magazine?
