  1. Nearest I can tell, nothing. This was more about body language and possibly non-verbal grunts. I'm assuming this is more about him rolling his eyes or huffing slightly during the questioning. I also assume that the judge's warning did not happen in front of the prospective jurors.
  2. Unless you're expecting to be elected President and become immune (or be able to grant yourself a pardon), it just means you end up paying more in legal fees over stuff you're going to lose.
  3. I've played with it out of curiosity during the trial. It technically works. But you can't trust it all, so it doesn't work. Interesting tech demo; stupid thing to push publicly.
  4. or a horrific dual sided dildo accident.
  5. That's more about hitting where the defenses aren't.
  6. The US hasn't given $80 bn to Ukraine. It has given most of it to itself. And not only are we getting new equipment that we wanted anyway, we're also seriously degrading the capabilities of a longtime foe.
  7. You're a troll and a disingenuous shit stain. You deserve absolutely zero respect, and so I offer none. You repeat Russian lies that support Russia because you want Russia to win. You want rape and death to win. Could I magically teleport you there, I would, preferably in the middle of a minefield.
  8. No, you're not. We're sending old equipment that would need to be replaced anyway and replacing it with new stuff we wanted to buy anyway. How on earth is that "inefficient"? From our perspective, it is literally the most efficient use of our military resources ever. Again, bullshit. You're not a Ukraine guy. And Ukraine can and will win if supported. It has already shown that will be the case. Announcing a set end to aid is the same thing as telling Russia it just needs to continue a little longer. Fuck you. Double fuck yourself, I never even came close to saying that. The only wasted life here is yours.
  9. Yeah, US aid to Afghanistan peaked at the equivalent of $1.7 billion annually during the war. That amount wouldn't have done squat for Ukraine against Russia.
  10. Yes, but hardly along central supply lines. The Soviets had to extend their logistic network. That simply isn't the case for Russia in Ukraine. Again, these conflicts are not even close to the same scale.
  11. It is like saying the US should have been able to win WW2 with the same size force it used in the Spanish-American war. It is a profoundly ignorant statement.
  12. The Soviets had like 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, being supplied far for home. In Ukraine, Russia is fighting right next door to its border and supply lines. And it has engaged many times that number of troops, with casualties estimates being in the hundreds of thousands. These are not comparable wars.
  13. That's probably true. I would have hoped there was 5-6 somewhat sane ones in there that Dems could work with, but if that isn't the case then nothing can be done. I still think Ukraine aid is important enough that if an opportunity to compromise with such a group emerges, the morally correct thing to do is the take it.
  14. That would make sense except for the fact that it also made the program he was the director of look much worse.
  15. If there is a moderate wing, then it isn't giving in to the people holding the government hostage. It is working with the few sane(ish) people to get something done.
  16. ? Ukraine is literally starved of ammunition right now. It has no money to purchase weapons except through aid.
  17. I think getting Ukraine aid passed is important enough to do it.
  18. Maybe your AC joint? If so, barbell bench press may never really be comfortable again.
  19. Yeah, that is actually a really sad story. Nothing the guy did deserved the death penalty. And I'm not necessarily saying the shooter/good Samaritan did anything wrong. But, were that I me, I sure as hell would have some guilt over it.
  20. Did you? I don't think you understand how quotation marks work. But go ahead, find the part of your post that said "They probably said this"
  21. This is a stupid take. So, it isn't surprising that you'd have it.
