  1. You are a dumb cunt. If other nation states are worried about US capriciousness and our abdication of responsibility as a world leader, its not because we are imposing financial consequences on Russia and its oligarchs for Putin's shitty Hitler impersonation in the Ukraine. Its because your fucking orange orangoutang floated the idea of the US leaving NATO, abruptly withdrew the US from international treaties like the Paris Climate Accord, wantonly initiated a trade war with the world's second largest economy, showed acceptance and even admiration for dictators and war mongers like Putin and otherwise largely alienated the US from the western democracies that have been our allies in peace and prosperity for the last 75 years.

  2. So on brand. I love how the lingo is going back to its source. How long before Putin complains about the woke Ukraine.

  3. I understand how the USD functions as a reserve currency and why it matters. China will continue to try and replace the dollar with the yuan, however, it will struggle as a reserve because it's not a safe store of value with easy to access banks and low risk bonds, and Beijing imposing strict controls. So I disagree, it was not short-sighted to impose sanctions on Russia as they commit genocide in Ukraine for a little pearl clutching about the US dollar.

  4. I just realized, if Russia fancies themselves the Z's, that means they think they are fighting the Not-Z's. The markings make total sense.

  5. Instead of citing experts you are citing a crypto bro that is financially motivated by this messaging. You might as well link to an Instagram influencers picture with them holding a bottle of vitamin water that says the water has bitcoin in it.

  12. None of this will surprise any of us, but if you have any friends/family who are curious about how things are going militarily and why they are going the way they are, this guy has a really good breakdown (he's a retired officer, written a bunch for Military.com, etc.).

  17. Met my In-Laws for MIL birthday Sunday afternoon at a Mexican restaurant near Forest and 75. For reference, We live in Allen. I've lived in Dallas for all of about 3 combined years out o 45 I've been alive and also travel around DFW 3-4 days a week for work. I have a couple of margaritas, so she drives home. Turns south on 75. Me "You're going the wrong way." During the argument, she used two phrases amongst many that stuck out. "I know you don't drive around her much." and "Your kinda drunk." Me :"Okay, fine whatever." and let it go for about 5 more minutes. Finally Me : "Hey look, on your left. That's hotel we stayed at the night of our wedding before leaving on our honeymoon." Her :"Awww." Me :"And if we were going to the correct direction, it would be on your right....." Her (after a couple of minutes of trying to figure out how this is my fault) "Fuck you. " And then she exited Me " Hey Kids! Look!! SMU" /tone

  20. So... why exactly are you agreeing with everything the idiot said, including that freezing Russia's central bank reserves "catastrophically damaged" the dollar? You literally said this was a "short sighted move by the administration" for brownie points. So I'm at a loss at what you're talking about now. Do we make them pay or not? Also, I'm pretty sure the idiot's preference that everyone adopt Bitcoin would also replace the US Dollar as the global reserve currency and would have a much more substantial "negative ramifications for years to come." Maybe choose your bedfellow more carefully before lecturing to the rest of us.

  21. Myself and a buddy of mine that is in SWAT have each thrown in $5000 to purchase the same helmets we wear and send them over to the Ukraine. United Shield International are going to throw in a few for free as well. All in all, it should be 13 helmets getting sent over. I’ve been in contact with Ukrainian embassy in DC on logistics for shipping them over. We’ve made significant progress in the last couple of days. This may actually happen. I stand with the people of Ukraine.

  22. That's the fucking point, you fucking moron. Mitt, in a vacuum, isn't great for the country. He's the 1% come to life in almost-human form. And, 10 years ago, that seemed like a pretty bad thing. But the GOP said, "Hold my beer," and now we're infested with Trump boot-licking infants. I'll take the adult that I generally disagree with, but who still believes in debate and compromise.

  27. I went over to Texags to see how their game went after seeing it was close at halftime. Somebody posted the post-game video, so I watched quite a bit of it. He's tearful. He and the kids are devastated. He did his own research. He seems to think the whole world gives a shit about how they probably got dicked. Despite all of his experience, he seems to think this event is unique to the history of the tournament. It's not like barely missing the top 4 in the football playoffs where Aggie angst seemingly peaked two years ago. The thing the Aggies should be concerned about is that they were on the bubble to begin with. Texags already had the pitchforks out for this guy until their late season run. Now they're all sharing a good cry. As in any event where Aggies have an argument that they were wronged, they completely squander any sympathy the the tiny part of the world may have for them by rolling out their paranoid fantasies of betrayal and their delusions of grandeur about who they are. In short, they make themselves despicable. More despicable for people already aware of them. Imagine using a postgame press conference during the fucking NIT to pour your poor Aggie heart out for the dozens of concerned baskeball aficionados that are even aware you played tonight. Follow it up with a sternly-worded (Aggies have gone apeshit with that description) short novel that should be entitled TL;DR: The Story of the Profoundly Wronged Sleeping Giant. Buzz is either a perfect fit, or he knows how to manipulate Aggies. Or both. I'm embarrassed about them as a Texan. Imagine being a Texan and only there for the education. So many grads from there anxiously volunteer that, "I'm what they call a 2 percenter." Cringe worthy indeed.

  29. I love how idiots who don’t know one goddamned thing about the issue spout nonsense and harm families seeking professional help just to get the votes from others who don’t know one goddamned thing about the issue while both of them grab-ass and high five over the sanctity of the family and preach how parents not the government should raise kids. It’s probably the most infuriating political nonsense I’ve ever seen in all of my life.

  31. is this person old enough to go die for our country abroad? would they be tried as an adult for committing a crime? are they an adult according to our laws nationwide? my sons have plenty of trans friends or "they/them" friends, or whatever. some of it is real, some of it is what i like to call "trying on clothes," which is not meant to be denigrating in any way, but i think some of these kids are swept up in it. which is fine. some kids go goth. some kids say they are gay when they are not. some say they are transgender when they really are not. that's middle school. but there are enough kids for whom this is real that we need to take it seriously, not try to identify an outlier who was having identity issues. on some level we all have identity issues of varying degrees. a little empathy goes a long way. my son and i play d&d with his cousin and her friends, one of whom is a "they/them." it doesn't matter to my son, and it doesn't matter to me. i'll call you late for dinner if you ask me. it's your identity, not mine. i just don't get the hate.

  33. More random thoughts: The important thing to remember, is that Russia is the junior partner on the other side. China backed them, hoping to set a template for how they would assimilate Taiwan- overwhelming military superiority, swooping in fast, and waving sanctions aside as the world is forced to accept the new normal. Russia fucked it up. It was supposed to be over in three days. It’s now over three weeks, and Russian progress is stalled.Ukraine is helped by NATO aid to Ukraine, in weapons and intelligence. Russia would like to escalate on the other side and call NATO out as an antagonist, but I bet China doesn’t want that (since they’re assisting Russia, and would be similarly entangled as a supporter and supplier). We should make it clear to China that ifRussia uses tactical nukes to subdueUkraine (as they have threatened), the US response will be to put defensive tactical nukes inTaiwan. China needs to put a leash on their dog.
