  2. NYT: Roseanne Barr once dressed up as Hitler and pretended to kill a bunch of gingerbread men in an oven 15 years ago. Why this was Joe Biden’s fault and how it’s going to cost him the election in November,
  3. We can only hope. Maybe make them all wear Nikes and keep an eye out for a comet.
  4. The Chinese version…I don’t think I can finish it, as I’m having to read a shitload of subtitles while trying to also watch what’s happening on the screen. 21 hours of this?
  5. A whole lost of these people don’t have any such heritage - their ancestors came well after the Civil War, or were in the North at the time. And nearly 10% of deaths in the Civil war were from people shitting themselves to death. Not very glorious and what a heritage - a shitload of them didn’t die fighting for states rights, they died because Jeff Davis couldn’t get them fresh food or because some dumbasses couldn’t help but construct their latrines near water, thereby fucking everybody downstream.
  6. He doesn’t really believe that, otherwise he’d take up arms and be in D.C. Sure, he may believe the batshit Christian stuff, but he knows the Democrats are not what he claims. Dumbfuck Republicans eat that up though.
  7. So how long until we see T-34s? They can’t have that many T-55s still running. Then again, they were pretty simple so I guess if you can get things lubricated and replace the rubber pads on the treads as well as rubber hoses they might get a bunch in service.
  8. If they can swarm dozens of drones around a major Russian airbase fairly far inside of Russia, I imagine the Kerch is not too long for this world. It’s just a matter of getting enough of an impact onto the supports. They may end up using cruise missiles to hit the supports and then drones to keep it from being repaired.
  9. I don’t think Putin could survive politically if one day he just stopped and asked for a ceasefire with the lines being where they are. But if he did because Russia was truly tapped out, I think Ukraine puts a lot of effort into taking the Kerch bridge out once and for all. When that happens. Russia will not have a decent means of resupply and reinforcement - remember Ukraine has been slowly taking out the ships that could be used for such resupply/reinforcement efforts. The other thing to note - Ukraine. Is ramping up attacks in Russia proper, and are getting past front-line air defenses, and this latest attack on an air base has got to make the Russians consider pulling back air defenses, and if they do, that makes thing easier on the F-16s. It’s frustrating that we are not helping them as much, but they are clearly laying the groundwork for some serious long-term moves, and I wonder if that’s what is driving the latest round of Russian attempts at advancing.
  10. Who are too lazy to work and are here just collecting welfare.
  11. Which redhead did it better. I’m going with Bryce Dallas Chastain.
  12. I mentioned this in the GQP thread, but when people say that an election was stolen or rigged, or in this cases, wasn’t “honest” then they need to be pressed on why didn’t they march in D.C. on January 6th. Don’t ask how or why it was stolen and give them an opening to deflect away from themselves, just ask why they stood idly by and ignored Trump's directive to show up on January 6th. When they try to come up with some bullshit reason why they couldn’t be bothered to show up, then you tell them “if you believed it was stolen, you would have been there, because something that important would require any true patriot to make their way to D.C.”
  13. My first thought is they are using old stuff in the lead, knowing it’s going to get wrecked. It still points to a shortage of tanks, and also they are sacrificing those crews, so you know they aren’t well-trained, and they’ll get fucked up anyways at some point. But we also know they were producing about 20 “modern” tanks a month, and were supposedly bumping that up to 40 or more, but it was still not enough to keep pace with tanks being destroyed in Ukraine (their “massive” reserves were originally keeping the front supplied with tanks). And they were also restarting production lines for turbine engines for tanks, but they were basically hand-producing them, so not in any great numbers. We might have reached that point where their reserves of T-6x/T-72s are depleted, or at least their ability to deploy them everywhere (parts/engine shortages). If this starts happening more and more, that’s going to get real interesting.
  14. I’d toss this into the mix - a lot of us have encountered friends and family who say the 2020 election was stolen (stollen!) or rigged somehow. The response needs to be “if you truly believed it was stolen, then you would have been in D.C. on January 6th like Trump asked you to be, but you weren’t there like Trump asked so either you didn’t believe it was stolen or you didn’t care if it was. I’m leaning toward you didn’t believe it.” Or to keep it simple: Relative: The election was stolen You: Why didn’t you care enough to go to D.C. on January 6th? Make them uncomfortable. Don’t challenge how it was “stolen” either. Just ask them why they did nothing on January 6th. If you try to argue how it was stolen, you give them wiggle room to try and flood the conversation with conspiracy bullshit. Just go along with them believing it was stolen and hammer away at why they weren’t in D.C., because with that simple question there is no excuse they can give that will make them or their argument sound good. The kids being in school or a dental appointment or meeting at work will sound weak. You can toss in that if you believed an election was stolen, you sure as hell wouldn’t sit around whining on Facebook, you’d be in D.C.

  16. CyberTruck in a car driving simulator on the automotive equivalent of a ski jump is…lacking in battery fires at the end.
  17. First episode on YT. They’ve done this. Who’re to generate hype when they’ve had something to hype.
  18. Just as DeSantis did, RFK will peel off Trumpers who like a lot of what Trump says, but are not happy that he claims credit for the COVID vaccines and supported shutting down some stuff until he didn’t. Those people admired that DeSantis went against the feds, tried to keep everything as wide open as he could, and has a surgeon general who keeps saying stupid shit against vaccines.
  19. Ted appears to be scared a bit, and I guess thinks he can podcast his way out of this.
