  1. The fact gata won last week is gonna give those assholes a tremendous extra incentive to beat Florida. I feel certain they will use the Florida/A&M game as a gerbil dick measuring contest to declare supremacy over the sips. Unfortunately , I think we get boat raced in this one. But maybe Aggy will Aggy. If getting curb stomped by Texas A&M will get Billy gone, that is a huge positive hard to root against.
  2. A healthy Florida defense is far better than our offense. By a bunch.
  3. Bad article. Unfair. I really like the photo though.
  4. apparently,there are currently around 70,000 Russian soldiers who are AWOL. Given that they are subject to arrest and/or summery execution, I would assume that most of them are armed. I think desertion is subject to 15 years prison time, although if it is a serious problem, I assume they will increase jail time as a deterrent if they have not already. IOW, there are 70,000 armed Russian criminal somewhere between the front and wherever back home is. I have to think that this is a teeny weenie, itsy-bitsy problem for Russia right now.
  5. ….. by raising a solid point.
  6. When public transportation starts to break down and buses do not show up and people can’t get to work or to the grocery store or to take care of their ill, elderly parents, things will start to get exponentially worse. Because when companies have financial problems, laying off employees is the quickest short-term way to stay alive. I assume that Russian HR is similar to European HR, with the exception that Russian HR will probably accept bribes to avoid the first layoff. Firing employees who don’t come to work seems to be low hanging HR fruit, even when they aren’t coming to work because there are no buses to take them to work. Maybe someone should create The Great Russian Enshittening thread so that we can track the myriad of ways that the country is falling apart separate from the military and diplomatic focus of this one.
  7. One thing that we know for sure, and that is that the MOD will be getting first priority on the fuel. The fuel that is scarce. The fuel that is increasingly expensive. The fuel that the private sector requires so that companies don’t go out of business because they can’t deliver products or services. But this is Russia. And in Russia, when you have a product that you can sell at an inflated price that everyone will buy, you can bet your ass that Russian generals are selling military gas as quickly and in such volume as people can pay them. Some of them will get rich before they fly out of windows on their birthdays, but this continuing fuel shortage scenario will continue to be the precursor to more significant economic collapse.
  8. What happened to his other stupid son who got himself fired from the Dolphins? Did his dad get him a practice squat gig somewhere?
  9. No, your chemo did not make my balls shrink.
  10. “Trump’s ICE would have deported him back to Kenya because of that false birth certificate…..” Probably.
  11. Well, he can’t bitch about it because it was obviously Predestined….
  12. They see that Russia is imploding, and they are probably pretty sure that they won’t be invaded by the Russians anytime soon, given the circumstances, even if their border checkpoints cause Russia some logistical problems by delaying military supplies. Given the region, it’s probably not more complex than Kazakhstan’s leaders using the moment to get something out of Russia in return for letting the Chinese military stuff through again. Either that, or China has no problem/encourages this, helping Russia’s descent into its impending implosion - all while appearing to provide support. A weak Russia with problems can only greatly benefit China in a myriad of ways in the long run. And in the short run they can continue raping Russia by insisting on cheaper crude oil exports as Russia’s cash poor self can’t protest. Then again, it may just be the same old story: when a bully has victimized someone over a long period of time - and that victim now has the opportunity to obtain a measure of revenge against the bully - they will.
  13. if you have no guarantee of continued fuel supply, you simply no longer have a nation capable of maintaining a supply chain. If you cannot sell and deliver your goods to people, you’re out of business.
  14. I saw an interesting video about the strike on the refinery that was north of Moscow. Part of the genius of that attack was using flocks of super cheap drones carrying no munitions to confuse air defenses and make them spend resources to stop the large numbers of what were essentially completely useless and non-threatening drones. if sending up hundred dollar drones will result in expensive AA Resources being wasted by Russia, they should be doing this every night until it’s time to use the real drones or missiles.
  15. Holy Perspicacity on Esoteric Info Batman. I dunno, but it seems wise to take your word for it and not do a Google search on the term.
  16. But enough about politics. Do you all appreciate the damage done to our states’ economies by the wild pig populations? This hurts everyone - homeowners, farmers, ranchers, endangered animal and plant populations threatened by wild pigs. The elections will take care of themselves guys. I am embracing my God-given right to enjoy purchasing my second amendment wild pig hunting semiautomatics. because when the wild pigs come to destroy your prepper garden foods, your woke urban animal control officials won’t be there to help you. And your Nancy boy pepper spray won’t stop that lead boar from destroying every one of your vine-ripe beefsteak tomatoes.
  17. Just one page produced the definitive Surly Universe descriptor.
  18. my poor example was a bad attempt to point out that there are pockets of people to be picked off. The parent of the special-needs child is the one who cares about that, not the lack of empathy person. Everyone doesn’t care about national parks, but the people who do think passionately about it. MAGA does not care about cancer research going away, but people and their families suffering from cancer care about that. What I was trying to convey is to find things that hurt Maga voters caused by the GOP. Because while they don’t care if it hurts you, it obviously makes a difference if it hurts them. Totally my bad to include topics like school lunches, because they are fine with black kids starving. You are all correct and calling that out. My poorly made point was to find ways where selfish Maga types were being harmed, and to spotlight why they were being harmed.
