  1. Did Tucker take into account that Russian median household income is like half of that in the US? No. When you take into account the disparity in income then you can see that the "discount" on groceries is not real because of how much of your income it takes as a percentage. Other great things in Russia Life expectancy is about 10 years lower Alcoholism is much higher health care is mush more basic Access to outside information is censored Go to jail for what you say on youtube Conscription to become fodder in Ukraine I've been to Russia (Actually USSR) back in the late 80s on a school trip. The tour guides take you around to the nicest tourist approved places. When you walk across the street and look behind the high cinder block wall and see the slums they get mad.
  2. Just wanted to say Russian warship, go fuck yourself and
  3. Is he going to do it for sporting events too?
  4. Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system. Here's a theory. Maybe all these deaths are from people that were chosen by the lady of the lake but were too drunk and clumsy when that watery tart threw a sword at them. After all, it is called "Lady Bird Lake"
  5. I have a few theories: Car is cleaner/nicer than their house/apartment Car is quiet and decent acoustics. House is noisy, someone in the background is yelling at the kids They have a phone holder on the dash.
  6. Right, Biggest shitheels in Texas starts with 1. Cruz the bad luck charm (Glad he likes the Astros and not the Rangers) and number 2 is Paxton.
  7. If a Jewish Senator is calling out Israel then maybe we should scrutinize a little more. Isn't the Biden Administration ask that Israel allow for evacuation of families from Raffa before the army goes in? Is that a bad policy? WTF, are we trying to create another Putin in the region? It's like republicans are taking crazy pills: Putin bombs apartment buildings - don't let the Ukrainians have anything to defend themselves Civilians are trapped in Raffa - Don't ensure they can evacuate before Israel bombs them These are really the Republican positions on these matters.
  8. Hell this was predicted back in the 2010 Movie Valentine's Day
  9. You’re thinking of the Big XII conference championship She has some skin in the game She is dating a Kelce boy. Someone has to keep up with Jason in the booth.
  10. If he pulls enough Q anon voters from Trump because they think he’s Q I’d be fine with that.
  11. That Kennedy Super Bowl commercial was trippy
  12. Sorry, I was confusing and imprecise. They get more tracking data if you have an account and they can see what you have viewed over time. If it is embedded they get less data and if you purge cookies or watch incognito or other techniques even less. The part about Truths being screenshots and not tracked is true and if we copy and paste screenshots from twitter instead of embedding tweets that would not be tracked here either.
  13. and Russia is the cheapest place to buy oil
  14. Yeah, I assume you mean our eyeballs (viewers) are the product and the advertisers are the customers that pay for more eyeballs. So give away the platform and sell the ads makes more sense. Charge a premium for fewer ads. (YouTube, Spotify, etc follow this model) But there are strange quirks about embedded tweets and youtube videos I have noted They never show ads (twatter or youtube). They need to drive you to their platform to serve the ads I have a strong suspicion that they are not able to collect the demographic data on the viewers without your account login info so the advertisers would probably pay a lower rate for non-targeted ads. Off topic, I think this is one of the funniest parts of Truth Social - the main content to draw viewers is Trump but all his crap is posted as screenshots (not even embeds that they could track) by Bots on other platforms where it gets a lot more eyes so there is no incentive to advertise on Truth if you can get a bigger audience on TwiXer. I guess the targeted prepper, red hat and lumpy pillow buyers might be an exception. At least youtube and elmo can track embeds
  15. That's my favorite Led Zeppelin song.
  16. ACB has been challenging the Trump arguments. On the disqualification argument about Congress “could” remove the disability with a 2/3 vote. If Congress wanted to remove the disability they could do it today. The fact that they have not removed the disability for Trump means that they don’t want to and that saying they “might” do it in the future is like a prison inmate saying let me out now because the governor “might” commute my sentence in the future.
  17. Alito carrying water
  18. Yep, but over at fox news they'll have some outrage story about Taylor Swift or andocrene harvesting instead of these rulings.
  19. They specifically call out the a former president can be prosecuted for any CRIMES committed while in office. Executive immunity would still apply to official duties because the official duties of the president are not criminal. That bit about following the advice of pillow salesmen and conspiracy theorists instead of say the advice of Whitehouse counsel is coming back to bit him.
  20. Yeah, He'll wait to submit his appeal to the USSC on the last day but my bet is they decline to hear it unless the money flows to hear it just to delay and then they deny the appeal anyway but the straightforward apprach would be to deny the appeal.
  21. I clicked on this thread for the first time today and even though I knew about the cancer diagnosis when I saw the title was "Long live the King" I thought the thread was going to be about Bob Wills
