Oh, Carptebagger, eh? Tell us your strong feelings about Dan Patrick, Chip Roy then, please, sir. Hidalgo moved to Houston when she was 15 and she went to Katy Seven Lakes. Of course, the most likely thing here is you don't know what the fuck Carpetbagger means. Hint: It's not the used condoms you cleaned up off the carpet after getting high and wildly buttfucked with your Christian Nationalist buddies.16 points

65% of Americans support Ukraine in one of the few bipartisan issues of the day. Of course somehow it will get twisted into partisan hell. For fucks sake WE'RE GIVING THEM OUR OLDER GENERATION SHIT AND IT SPURS MORE OUTPUT OF NEW SHIT JUST GIVE THEM THE FUCKING WEAPONS!16 points

Except my aggy corps turd son was actually in Poland for 5 months, handing out NATO weapons to Ukraine, so be careful with that broad paintbrush.15 points

The impressive thing is he gave up 1 sack on a mental error in the WV game. He has faced Will Anderson (5 sacks), Tyree Wilson (6 sacks), and Will McDonald (3.5 sacks) and not gotten beaten for a single sack. Those 3 will be drafted, so this is not a case of him seeing a bunch of jags. It is pretty amazing.14 points

Dude. When's contextually talking about this within the scope of SPENDING LESS MONEY and using the DEBT CEILING to curb spending, while talking about all the other shit they want to spend money...he's tacitly telling you they're going to give way less to Ukraine. It's like my fucking 4 year old telling me that it's not that he wants candy for dinner SPECIFICALLY, it's that he wants to skip dinner and go straight to dessert. Come the fuck on. There is also a reason reports coming out from Russia and their own propaganda news shows have referenced the importance of the US mid-term elections. Well...here you fucking go. Proof that Russia certainly prefers one party in power.13 points

The dog and the other thousands of daily reminders of the Russians extreme cruelty are why the united message from all of our leaders should be that we will continue to support Ukraine until the Russians are utterly defeated, chased back across the 2014 boundaries and the hundreds of thousands of abducted Ukrainians are returned home. Rarely in history have things ever been so clearly good versus evil. If that's not enough reason, look at it coldly analytical. We've enabled Ukraine to destroy the bulk of the "professional" Russian army and most of the trainers needed to replace them, along with the bulk of their equipment and most of the reserves, while shattering the image of invincibility that Putin had cultivated for decades. We've shown clearly that US tech is the best on the planet and it's not close. You want good shit? Best be our friends or you get to enjoy your turret toss when you do need those tanks. We've restored the badly damaged reputation of US intel agencies. They've been fucking nails in this. We did all this and more for a little over 2.2% of our annual defense budget. It's one of the best return on investments in military history. Stopping before finishing the job, or even encouraging Putin that might be a possibility, would be asininely stupid. Politics, politicians and celebrities need to not fuck this up. We need to present a united message toward Russia. Now is not the time to force Ukraine to negotiate and sell their citizens into slavery. Now is not the time to encourage Russia that our will might fade. Now is the time to pour it on and end the Russian threat for the next few decades.11 points

Putin could end it by pulling out and returning the civilians. Of course, it would mean that he's probably going to lose power, and also he believes he's smarter than everybody else, and would never admit he made a mistake, so he's going to double down. I see it as the opposite - the US (and NATO) has been steadily increasing aid based on the capabilities of Ukraine to support and efficiently (and safely) use what we give them. We worked within the limitation of training their standing army with what they possessed and would have immediate access to, which was mostly Soviet-era equipment. We also needed to know that if we shipped them an expensive weapons system, that they would use them properly (and not simply be dropping expensive rounds on open fields because somebody wasn't programming coordinates properly) and more importantly they wouldn't immediately lose it to the Russians (whether by capture or air or artillery strike). We damned sure couldn't start dropping in F-16s if there was a chance that the Russians would immediately knock them out with missiles/air strikes, we needed to make sure that the Ukrainians could keep their own Air Force running. In terms of your examples - Abrams and Bradleys and F-16s each require a hefty repair/maintenance/logistics chain that we've had in place for well over four decades - that's a shit-ton of institutional knowledge that is passed down from mechanic-to-mechanic, in training schools that have four decades worth of expensively-learned knowledge. And that's before we talk about training people to use them. Don't get me wrong, I would have liked it if we took Ukrainian pilots and started getting them up to speed on F-16s back in March, just in case, but NATO has enough Soviet aircraft for now that we can push into the Ukrainians, and then backfill those NATO nations with F-16s. That would be easier for us to help supply and get up and running in a country where we can have boots on the ground looking over the shoulders of their mechanics and pilots, versus pushing them into Ukraine, where our personnel would not cross the border and couldn't do hands-on help. We also can't just stand up Abrams, Bradley, and F-16 maintenance/logistics support infrastructure in Ukraine, where it was completely staffed by Ukrainians. Abrams run on turbines, which would slow down Ukrainian mechanics used to the engines of Soviet equipment, and they share no parts with the Soviet T-series. Our F-16s share no parts with Soviet aircraft, etc. and we would have to move a massive amount of spare parts and ammo into Ukraine as well, and those would be fixed locations, prone to attack by Russian air. There's also a reason why we stockpile that equipment and weapons in Europe, the Pacific, and Middle East, because it's not easy to move that much gear that quickly, as good as our airlift and sealift are. With that said, We have been steadily helping to build up a Ukrainian military that is poised to go on the offensive, up to and including the taking of Crimea. We have been training tens of thousands of their soldiers, we have been providing extremely expensive and accurate artillery (both barrel and rocket), we are working with them on unmanned water-based vehicles that in theory could take out their ships/subs sitting at anchor. We have been providing more and more anti-air defense (AGM-88s, etc.), and now that much of their cruise missile capacity has been eaten up, all the while we are boosting their anti-air defenses, today NATO shifted their priority to countering drones as well. These things are meant to help Ukraine proper in dealing with Russian air attacks, but also help the Ukrainian military focus on their offensives. I'm not saying that our aid has been perfect, but there should be plenty of case studies written about this, because everything we have provided has been put to extremely good use, so whatever we are doing in terms of training and supplies is working. And it's working well - Russia is having to resort to buying weapons from fucking Iran, bringing 60 year-old tanks out of retirement, and they are literally kidnapping random men off the streets to fill their ranks.11 points

None of which the county judge has control over. Take it up with the lege who won’t create new courts in the county. The developers hate Lina because of her attempts to actually mitigate flooding in the county. Mealer is backed by developers and Mattress MAGA. The GOP commissioners are trying to sink her by negotiating the new budget in bad faith, lying and then not showing for work Mealer will get nothing of substance done on “crime.” In fact, the HC endorsement even says so! She blanketed the county with her green signs bc she doesn’t want to be associates with the GOP brand (red)11 points

Yeah there's a reason that I don't ever visit or post on OSU message boards. Honestly there is a section of our fan base - mostly younger - who are spoiled as fuck and don't realize how good we have it right now; not just for us, but for ANYONE. I've said time and time again that the level of sustained success that Gundy has reached during his tenure is exceedingly difficult for anyone including blue bloods; the fact that he's done this at a historically bad program that plays second fiddle to an elite program in a small state is incredible: 16 straight winning seasons 7 of the past 12 seasons with 10+ wins 2x Fiesta Bowl champs; 2-2 overall in NY6 bowls 10-5 overall record in bowl games Any OSU fan who thinks Gundy needs to go is a stupid dumb fuck who has no concept of what goes on in college football as a whole.10 points

I agree and don’t agree with a lot of this. In the first, I am obstinately opposed to the idea that a long drawn out war of attrition suits the United States and that the military degradation of Russia is the primary goal. If it were, the best way to do that would be to actually give Ukraine the things it needs to destroy Russia’s military. The brake here is in fact Putin’s nuclear blackmail and brinksmanship. We’re trying to help Ukraine win while not sparking a massive war and we’re being pretty conservative in doing so. Democratic nations do not like slow-moving long term crises, the longer they last the more they become a liability and Biden would love far more to say “Me and Ukraine kicked some Russian ass” than to slowly feed meat from Krasnodar to the grinder and potentially watch it get away from him. Ukraine rolling on to Moscow is a phantasm, they are entirely dependent on the West for what they can do now and no U.S. leader would countenance it. We won’t give them long range missiles and fighters NOW. Not to mention that the well-documented logistics issues the Russians have would bite Ukraine just as bad if not worse the other way and Ukraine has absolutely nothing to gain in continuing a war it has already won. Just like the French in 1918, victory is the other army going home. Putin retains the technical ability to simply fold and go home but this is not a military question now. As for how it ends, something completely unexpected or anticlimactic is just as likely as a dramatic resolution. Wars tend to drag on stupidly longer than the people who start them imagine. The one person who has the most to say about this appears to have thought about how to end it least because he never imagined he’d be in a position of having to end without winning. We aren’t grasping just how big this conflict is or can get, it is not a regional conflict. It’s a struggle over how the world is going to work. Looking back to a hypothetical message board in late 1914, who would bet that the war would end when the tsar was tossed out and an unknown name Lenin rolled in from Finland station? This war is a lot more like 1914 than it is 1941 and big part of that is because nuclear weapons have the effect of freezing this thing where neither side can get the upper hand. It’s astonishingly stupid and dangerous, the whole idea of nuclear weapons is to never get into existential struggles with your neighbors that you can avoid, but here we are.9 points

*long post* Wife and I had our anniversary this past weekend so I took it as an opportunity to bust out the bone marrow compound butter again (aka Butter of the Gods). Sure, there are other/shorter ways to make a bone marrow butter, but this is so much better. Started out salt curing some egg yolks (about 5 days). Got some canoe-cut marrow bones, removed the blood in salted water (3 days) then roasted under broiler. Remove the marrow and start assembling the butter in food processor. Grate in your cured egg yolk (I did 2 since they were smaller), and blend with bone marrow, stick of butter, anchovies, garlic, and shallots. Roll in cling wrap and put in fridge. Now all that’s left to do is throw it on a steak! This stuff is incredible. Put it on just about anything. Worth the time and effort to make it.
