  1. He is doing his country a far greater service by staying, fighting, inspiring, and dying if necessary.
  2. This right here. Lt. Colonel is the default terminal rank for career officers that never make the cut to advance. Basically middle management. There are a million of them.
  3. That is a speech from 2019 from a Medal of Honor recipient.
  4. Brisket doesn’t think it is hyperbole. I mentioned it twice. He spent a week seriously advocating for it over and over again over a dozen posts or more. He is absolutely serious about this silly idea. I’m no great expert on Eastern European geopolitics. But it isn’t hard for me to figure out that someone who was fixated on this is not a serious person to listen to about this matter. This is clearly a very serious situation. I feel very badly for the Ukrainians. Innocent people…women, children are going to die. Vlad deserves to burn for this. I hate him. But I also believe we should be pragmatic. We can argue about this, but I don’t know what alternative options Brisket, you, or anyone else spouting unrealistic doom and gloom propose that we do. So, outside of whatever sanctions we can come up with, what is it that we should do stop Putin? If you are think we should go to war in Ukraine against Russia, I find that equally silly. So help the Ukrainians as we can, supply them, do every sanction we can come up with to hurt Russia and Putin’s cronies, and defend our NATO allies. This is what we are doing and what I think we should b doing. I don’t know what else you think is appropriate.
  5. Attacking the most powerful military alliance in the world is not what I would consider a low risk endeavor. Sometimes when you repeat something over and over, like say Ukraine should irradiate themselves by blowing up Chernobyl, or that Putin will attack a NATO nation and NATO won’t respond with appropriate force, someone’s failure to agree with you doesn’t mean they don’t understand what you are saying. It could mean they think what you keep saying is silly.
  6. I don’t trust Putin but he isn’t invading multiple NATO countries to get to Germany of all places. Keep turning up the pressure on Putin. It is the right approach for now. Also, it is hard to take your predictions seriously after you spent a week repeatedly saying Ukraine should consider blowing up Chernobyl.
  7. Good to know for when Russia invades Germany.
  8. Will they give the money back that these non-baptized heathens donated to the church over the years?
  9. I respect his decision
  10. OU’s offense is not going to be better without Lincoln Riley. No chance.
  11. Do not want the Bronny circus. He isn’t an elite player and you will have Lebron and his sycophants breathing down your neck about his playing time and blaming you for him not being that good.
  12. Maybe they just really like teaching social studies
  13. Can a coach leave and take players with him with the new transfer rules? Or is there some rule against that? Can he take the QB?
  14. I hate you all you fucking losers
  15. I hate you all you fucking losers
  16. And Worthy. You are good too. The rest of y’all suck.
  17. Except for Bijan. You are great. You should probably transfer to a place with better teammates.
  18. This team is full of embarrassing fucking losers. If you are on this team and reading this, fuck you. You are an embarrassment and don’t deserve to wear the uniform.
  19. I was still tippin’
  20. So he changed his mechanics because his knee got hurt and is now fucking dominant. This is like Rookie of the Year
  21. Tuesday. I suspect you are right. I’d expect Bielak and ?. Praying for a miracle with LMJ
  22. Altuve is my favorite Astro of all time. Love that little man!
  23. The glee with which some people fantasize about shooting someone for stealing someone else’s property is…interesting.
  24. Counter-counter point: the government is going to be responsible for rescuing and taking care of people who stay behind, so it is certainly a reasonable for them to seek to reduce that burden. Also, if the last couple years hasn’t made it obvious, but we have a lot of morons in this country who are unwilling to take responsibility for their own health and well-being and end up burdening everyone else with their donkey brained decisions.
