  1. Expecting a really strong pro-Ukraine statement from one of our two brave Senators after getting this email today:

    Dear Greaseball Bob:

     Thank you for contacting me regarding U.S. policy in response to the war in Ukraine. I appreciate the benefit of your comments on this matter.

     Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, violating Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Thanks to the bravery of Ukrainian soldiers and weaponry supplied by the U.S. and its allies, the vast majority of the country's territory remains in Ukrainian hands; however, the war has caused significant human suffering and economic devastation.

    Recognizing the immense human cost of this war, President Trump and his administration began negotiations with Ukraine and Russia to bring about an end to hostilities and ensure a durable peace. The U.S. made significant investments in Ukraine's defense, the majority of which have been invested back into our defense industrial base and U.S. forces. President Trump is now working to secure a critical minerals agreement with Ukraine that can promote Ukrainian economic development, repay the U.S. for its assistance to Ukraine during the war, and serve as a deterrent to Russia. Vladimir Putin's history of territorial expansionism demonstrates that Ukraine, the U.S., and its allies must ensure that there exists a credible deterrent to prevent further Russian aggression directed toward Ukraine or NATO member states. We cannot signal to other adversaries threatening our country's security and trade interests, such as China, North Korea, and Iran, that aggression will go unpunished. As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I look forward to engaging with my colleagues and the administration on this issue.

    As your representative in the United States Senate, I appreciate the opportunity to hear your views and concerns about U.S. policy towards Ukraine. I will keep your thoughts in mind as these matters are considered in the 119th Congress. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.

    Sincerely,

     

    JOHN CORNYN

    United States Senator

    Trump is simply a bullshit artist. He’s a troll.

    And the media and America still focuses on this instead of what he actually does or allows to happen.  After that it's old fucking news and a distraction.

    Every time he lies, point out the lie, and move on to showing how he hasn't fixed inflation, and how his actions are fucking people over, and how the Republicans are gutless cowards.

    Stalin looks like a Mexican guy named Lorenzo that ran a barbershop in downtown San Antonio back in the 30s.

    Ha,

    Put grey hair on that guy and he's my uncle who ran a barbershop in Brackettville in the 60s. (Had a kitten in a jar of formaldihide on the counter.)  Rolled his own unfiltered cigarettes.  Part time jailer.  Terrifier of children.  When we visited he'd throw a baby goat in the bbq pit out back and just hang out there until we were gone.

    Now, having reached that conclusion, isn’t the logical course of action to put him on ignore and disregard all the drivel he spews? Why pay attention to what a true idiot has to say? Who has the time or the interest? What does it say about you if you continue to read his posts and respond? Who’s the idiot then?

    HUA.  I'm a frequent user of the ignore function.  He's never been quite this over the edge, at least in my experience.

    You're incorrect about that.

    I'm not following this debate, although I did look at your last couple of posts and it looks like you're not really talking about any ideas.

    I find it pretty unbelievable that any real conservative is being attacked by a mod on these threads because any real conservative would be viscerally anti-Trump/Elon/Russia.

    If you are a conservative the right wants to put you first in line for the firing squad.

    If Bill Buckley ever came back from limbo, he'd never stop throwing up.

    The display of true courage is stoking conflicts by proxy to effect totally wrong headed foreign policy aims. Great powers treating innocent bystanders as pawns on the board and absolutely nothing more. This is the true courage, coming from the jingos, the domestic war mongers, and the politically brain damaged, willing to fight to the last Ukrainian to achieve foreign policy goals that will ultimately be destructive to the long-term interests of America. Empty rhetoric about democracy and the rules-based order, bolstered by waves of propaganda, feasting on a lack of long-term attention span, fringing their garments with golden threads of righteousness. That's true courage. 

    You're a true idiot.

  7. Update - he's chosen as the path of least resistance his pitching a fit and me forcing it down his throat.

    So 15 seconds of making sure he doesn't spit it out, and him crying for two minutes saying the medicine is yucky.  

    Me and his dad can live with it.  Problem solved. 

    Note:  I've buried the lead.  The real issue is that the medicine is white.  He'll take purple medicine (Tylenol and dimetap) without a whimper. And the pharmacist told my daugher not to fuck with food coloring.

    The child could either take the medicine as is, administered by the adult and be done OR the child could take the medicine as is, administered by the adult and then assist in the creation of a concoction which would then by taken by teaspoonful by the adult. Now, this concoction thing involved pulling various spices and condiments from the pantry and fridge, setting them on the table and then the child would point to one. After naming it or some other small talk about it, we would put a tiny amount of those selected in a cereal bowl and kiddo would stir it and then the anticipation would set in: what kind of face is mama going to make when she tries the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, italian dressing combo?

    Again, I like this, but the deeper issue with the kid is that he is a horrifically finicky eater.  When I was raising my daughters, they ate what adults ate (never allowed to look at kids menu), so they were pretty open about food.  My son in law is a meat and potatoes guy and they have allowed the kid to pick his own shitty snacks and comfort food.  If we tried this with him he would simply refuse to mix it with anything. 

    His only really flaw is this medicine/food thing.

    Were you more authoritative with your daughter than she is with her son?

    Yes.  Mostly because I'm quicker to the final ultimatum.  My OP kind of shows that I go from "nice guy" to "WTF are you kidding me!" within five minutes. 

    But in fairness, by the time my daughters were three they were pretty easy to reason with. This guy just loves fucking with Mom (and Pop Pop).
