    It's more likely than you're considering. I'm not saying it's more likely than not, but there's real fissures among people on the right. A lot of them absolutely fucking hate each other. The longer this drags on, the likelier it becomes that enough of the "moderates" say fuck it and go to Dems requesting some sort of deal.

    I wonder how many Republicans are considering retiring from politics? 'Career suicide from working with the Left' isn't a thing when you've decided your career choice was a really bad one and you're moving on to greener pastures.

    Which of Gaetz' preferred people is going to draw enough republican votes? It also ultimately doesn't matter, they can't get their maga shit past the senate and white house. This entire thing is to prevent helping Ukraine, because the right is beholden to fucking Russia. Their ancestors would be rolling in their graves to learn of their new support for Russian dictatorships. 

    I really don't think Ukraine/Russia is the angle here. We have a group of people that believe in absolutely nothing other than self-promotion. They have no core values, no political platform. They simply want attention and are willing to destroy America in return for TV time and social media likes.

    You think the next guy is going to work with the dems? Lol, some of you are fucking delusional. It’s going to be a year of either nothing at best or destruction at worst.

    You think it is the responsibility of the Democratic party to fix the Republican party. How about you stop calling other people delusional, k?

    Trying to get my mind around this.  Congressional Republicans worked together with Democrats to oust McCarthy after those same Republicans accused McCarthy of ... working with Democrats? 
     

    Correct.

    The whole time I was watching that vote I was wondering what Gaetz was thinking as every Democrat in the House voted for his resolution.

    We're in a simulation. There is simply no other plausible explanation.

    Jesus, man, I forgot Feinstein died too. That's not what I mocked you. As I said, on any topic, your first intepretation is the worst possible one, consistently. And you know what, he presence in this vote doesn't mean SHIT. It took 6 to vacate the speaker. With all the democrats voting to vacate, there were over 200 votes to fuck McCarthy. I honestly don't give a shit if her and 20 other Dems were doing blow at a bar down the street. But with all the news of what's happening, your first thought is "Oh shit, but Pelosi?!?!?!" I find it bizarre. But we see you do it with this, Texas Football, war in Ukraine, etc. 

    put me on ignore

    I think there is a chance there will be a military coup to get rid of Putin if this war continues to go bad for the Russians. 

    It's possible. But if it happens it probably comes from a group that believes the war is being waged incompetently and can only be won with new leadership. I don't see a military coup bringing about an end to the war but rather an escalation.

    I'll say the same thing I did last time he did something similarly disgusting.

    I'll leave when Auschwitz Museum leaves.

    He would like it if I left. I hope I cost him more than he gets out of me. All the blocks make him spend money. I don't have to amplify an account to quote them. Until there's a CHRONOLOGICAL replacement which Threads ain't,  it is the only game in town. Breaking news happens. Find me a better place for that and I'll cut my time spent there. 

    Black people haven't left. The LBGTQ people are still there. Some are gone and I don't blame anyone that wants to go. But, it's still a valuable resource. I won't abandon the ones sticking it out.

     

    lol.

    See, here's the thing that makes me disagree with you optimists: Russia, and the Russian people, are more alien than Glorpon from Zelkar-5.

    "Social collapse" involves an INSANELY lower floor than we have here.  Power out, no plumbing, no clean water?  No problem.  No decent food?  No problem.  This is a population that can and will survive on one rotting potato per person per day indefinitely.  Suffering and discomfort to Russians is an ordinary state of being.  It doesn't become a problem until they die....and by then, it don't make a shit, they're dead.

    They will throw stacks and stacks of available meat sacks at the war.  All they have to do is be 1) human 2) and ambulatory.  That's it.  Those are the sole military standards.  Their strategy is "we have more meat than you have bullets," and when you realize how little value meat sacks have in Russia (zero.  They have zero value), you can see that maybe the calculus isn't off base.

    All the shit that civilized, western countries care about?  The well-being and training of troops in the field?  Medical care?  Electricity?  Plumbing?  THEY DON'T FUCKING MATTER IN RUSSIA.  

    Ukraine's goal can't be to make conditions intolerable for Russia - I don't think the bar can be lowered enough to get there.

    Ukraine's sole goal has to be making Russia run out of meat sacks that it can throw into the fray.

    This.

    Anyone hoping for a mass revolt from the Russian population to bring about an end to this war doesn't understand the psyche of the Russian people. 

    As to your last sentence, I would add the caveat that they have to do that before support from the West erodes. It isn't a popular opinion in this thread, but still think Russia can outlast Western support for this war.

  9. Good on you guys for voting with your feet.

    To those of you that continue to support Twitter and give revenue to Elon through your usage, shame on you. As much as I love this website, if imma were to sell it to a racist, hypocritical piece of shit I would have to part ways with this community and find an internet home somewhere else.

    Either you decide to support evil or you don't. But coming here and pointing out how truly evil this guy and his agenda are while supporting both needs to stop.
