  1. For those of you who don't think Russian trolls are haunting anything, but Facebook and Twitter, they are a gigantic problem on Reddit that the Senate Intel Committee is currently investigating. https://www.mediamatters.org/maga-trolls/russian-propaganda-rampant-reddit-heres-why-matters https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/827zqc/in_response_to_recent_reports_about_the_integrity/#bottom-comments As @immamac has pointed out a bunch, this is the largest politics board in the state of Texas. Texas is the buckle that is currently holding up the GOP belt right now. Keeping it red is a top priority. You're out of your mind if you don't think we're being targeted.
  2. All this is going to do is make him not so obvious to catch in the future, but his posting style is fucking obvious enough on it's own. GRUHorn is Immaculate Vibes In response to me calling him out at GRUHorn. GRUHorn is Caponata, again in response to me calling him out.
  3. They're on message boards all across the country, in addition to Facebook and Twitter. This is the largest political board in the state of Texas.
  4. You are a smart enough dude to see it too, but they agree with you, so you look the other way. Like you do on so many other things.
  5. You are amazing. You are somehow continually wrong on every issue back to Charlie Strong.
  6. We have had at least two full-time, Russophilic professional trolls pushing dezinformatsiya on this community going back to Shaggy days and they are incredibly toxic to this community. GRUHorn = Immaculate Vibes/Bravo/Caponata DSA = Fozz/Donkey Cigars/likely bangkok currently. We've crowd sourced them dozens of times and they come back immediately, spreading dezinformatsiya with the exact same posting style and shitting up discourse all across the board. Sometimes, they come back with a new sock, sometimes it's an old username that they've cultivated. They often start using a new account while still using the old one. As posters, we can only do so much and can only do it so fast. It can take us weeks to crowd source them, while it takes them minutes to grab a new account using a VPN and resume trolling. There is an understandable resistance in this community to owners/mods banning posters still lingering from the HF/blinking envelope days, but professional trolls are using that to poison our community. One of the only rules here is no trolling. You own this place, just fucking ban him and then ban everyone of his subsequent usernames when he pulls the same bullshit. Instead, the board crowd sourced GRUHorn/Caponata a week or so ago. Someone gave him a shitload of rep points and brought him back to continue spreading more dezinformatsiya. We need backup from the site ownership/mods if y'all want a place free of Russian trolling.
  7. Maybe. It didn't seem like anyone, but the US thought this was serious until it actually happened. Regardless, I'm glad we don't have to find out.

    The Supremes

    Good eye.
  9. Trump is a broken clock that is correct here though. The city bombing would have been unlikely if Trump was President. Putin wouldn't need to bomb them. Trump would have removed us from NATO and sided with Russia. There would have been grumbling from Europe, but they would have sat on their hands. Without the US Intel agencies calling Russia out before every move, and the Biden admin marshaling international consensus/weapons shipments/Intel sharing,Ukraine would have been left helpless.
  10. Curse Putin's sudden, but inevitable betrayal.
  11. This is a Fly/Go route. Obviously Go Go runs double Go routes all the time. It will look a little something like this. It's going to be a bold strategy to see us only run 8 players out on offense, but we've definitely seen worse Texas offensive strategies.
  12. The Simms/Applewhite debate has always been a false dichotomy. The correct answer was replacing Greg Davis. Either Simms, or Applewhite would have been fine with a good offensive coordinator running a competent scheme, rather than a syphilitic chimpanzee with a random grab bag of plays.
  13. Y'all motherfuckers need to take the football chat off this thread. This is supposed to be a happy place.
  14. Fuck yeah. They may hate us for the SEC move, but I'm not going to stop rooting for the Cyclones.
  15. Ended up being an 8 point game at the end due to the refs when it looked like we were going to run away with it.
  16. Had the chance to feel great about that and run away with it, but tight win is still a win. Fucking nice to move on to Round 2 for a change.
  17. 1/2 from Sideshow Bob
  18. Seems like a really unbiased source GRUHorn.
  19. Simplest solution is that the autocratic shithead that murders journalists and indiscriminately slaughters Yemeni civilians is a little nervous about democratic countries uniting against killing journalists and indiscriminately killing civilians. But it's probably something Hunter Biden did if you think about it.
  20. Time to confess people. He got us. Why stop with apes? Obviously, no species of animal can exist if any other member of a larger group of them still exists. How are there any other mammals if both us and dogs are supposed to be mammals? I'll tell you. Big Zoo. A conspiracy of the top 153 Zoologists on the planet assembling at an annual meeting at an underground lava base, funded and coordinated by none other than George Soros. Herschel is coming from a fine tradition of individual research, instead of trusting experts, which is such a novel approach these days. I look forward to seeing his data in the original coloring book format.
  21. The former. Medvedev wants to reinstate the death penalty to suppress dissent.
  22. You keep peddling this Russian lie over and over, even though other posters have repeatedly pointed it out. Putin wants to bring back the Russian Empire. He does not think Ukraine has a right to exist as a sovereign entity. He does not think they should have been given autonomy during the USSR and should not have ever been able to leave being a Russian vassal province. He wants to revoke this and subjugate Ukraine and the Ukrainian people under Russian oppression again. Despite this being pointed out to you over and over, you still repeat the Russian lie. You are far more poisoned from reading/watching Russian propaganda on Russia Today than you realize.
  23. With a fuck ton of natural resources. The Chinese have already locked up a lot of resources in Africa and Asia. Russia as a Chinese vassal would be no bueno in all sorts of ways.
