  1. Who in US intelligence thinks this? What percentage of the community are they? There will be a spectrum of thought within the intelligence community, and this may only represent a small part of it. It would also be exactly what Russian operatives would put out to plant and water the seeds of doubt. That assertion is interesting, but I'll wait to see what plays out.
  2. Well, that's a way that you could test it. It's not the way I would, but you do you, I guess.
  3. This is probably stupid, but I've been thinking about that whole episode, and I think that it isn't really over yet. Pringles was convinced to stop and pull back, much of his force was nationalized into the Russian Army, but he was not imprisoned, he still has a force and is building it back up, and seems to be still involved. I think that Pringles pulled back before he was overextended and while he could still preserve some of his force and prestige. On the other hand, Putler was badly weakened, but has still held onto the intelligence apparatus. Since then they have been circling each other, looking for opportunities to get in a body blow. Neither has won, yet. We just have to wait for one to make a mistake and let the other put a knife in him.
  4. First, even as a guard, you aren't just walking your happy ass out of a prison. There is a process, at any point of which her supervisor can turn her around. Second, do you want prison guards just leaving their posts without relief? That seems like a bad precedent to me. Last, as has been pointed out, if she just walks out, she loses her job and healthcare. If she had done as you suggest and successfully given birth, as a newly fired new mother, what do you think her chances of getting another job with healthcare coverage are? If she had great job prospects, she wouldn't be working as an underpaid prison guard in a chronically understaffed prison system. Not all jobs are jobs that you can just walk out of, and not everyone has the prospects to just walk off of even the jobs where that's possible.
  5. A whole fucking lot racist. Fucking nazis.
  6. No Next to the bed. First thing in the morning, last thing at night. The only times I remember to do it.
  7. IT stands for Internal Terrorists. Change my mind.
  8. Used this as a safety topic at work yesterday. Any kind of tank can have a hazardous atmosphere, so don't enter without testing. Hydrogen sulfide kills quickly. And if you see someone down in an enclosed space, get help; don't go in after them. Better one death than two or, as in this case, three.
  9. The Creature From The Black Lagoon With Tits
  10. I once saw the premise of communism explained as, "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine." He must be that kind of commie.
  11. I like your boss, just based on this. Madrones are awesome.
  12. It sure seems like it. Of course, it cleared the playing field for China to grab a bigger share.
  13. Oh, Mr. Pence. It's cute that you assume that mouth breathing, knuckle dragging goon can read.
  14. I hear and read folks criticizing quality college education all the time, saying "I send my kids to college for education, not indoctrination!" Bullshit. They want only indoctrination, without education. Especially at aggy.
  15. Of course not. But I can, and would.
  16. Not exactly the same, but similar: My dad took my mom fishing at Packery Channel near Corpus the evening before I was born. He got the car stuck there and almost didn't get it out. Less than 12 hours later, yours truly emerged. My Grandma (mom's mom) damn near brained my dad for that. She was still giving him what-for while he held me for the first time. My dad's South Texas bonafides are obvious, too.
  17. I seem to recall that they filled it in because it kept filling in naturally and the cost of dredging it out frequently was too high to sustain. A lot of folks wanted it kept open, but wanted everyone else to pay for it.
  18. I think that it will be an amalgamation of the first two choices. The country will remain split enough that the fascism is an ever present threat, but that we will totter along as a democracy, barely holding off the fascists. Until everyone gets tired and just says, "Fuck it. The fascists can have it."
  19. "To Russia With Hate"
  20. Paul Reubens - the only man in Hollywood canceled for touching himself, not someone else. ETA - I need to start doing a secret word of the day at work. My boss will love it.
  21. Fuck Russia. Fuck Putin. Fuck anyone who assists them in any way.
  22. Like I said in this thread about a year ago, there are going to be awesome barn finds in Ukraine for years.
  23. There cannot be a more perfect avatar for this post. I'd rep it four or five times, if I could.
  24. Prime opportunity to troll her about why she doesn't have a whole house filter and under sink reverse osmosis units on every sink in the house. Probably too poor. Or ask when she last cleaned her coffee maker and her cups. Strongly imply that she doesn't wash her dishes. Or is too poor to have a dish washer. Lots of fun to be had here.
