Pregnant women babies for Christ's sake. The dude is evil, pissed and obviously willing to do anything at this point. Vacuum bombs now too. People are able to walk and chew gum at the same time. We can be critical of Putin while at the same time be critical of an American political demagogue who fawns over Putin. 4 1 Link to comment

I'm fine with pointing out the leader of the Republican party thinks this is genius. I can do that at the same time pointing out that Putin is a pathetic horrible human being. You know...the one that the leader of the party admires. 3 1 Link to comment

I had not heard about #4 Nato Technology. Whichever one you pick, they all point to Biden being 'completely unprepared. He went public about the impending war before it started but didn't have a plan for allied air support. Good Lord. 1 1 1 Link to comment

The Lincoln Project isn't wrong, but I'm not very clear about their end game. Some of those Lincoln Project guys were also architects and apologists for the Iraq invasion, where 100,000 civilians died in really unpleasant fashion. If they're still Republicans, I'd like to see them fashioning platforms and candidates for the Republican Party they want to see moving forward. At the moment they're just very skilled Trump-baiters playing to liberals and scoring donations. 3 Link to comment

If you all want to lie awake at night fretting over Trump feel free. Keep beating the drum if you think it helps. It’s noise to me. Now that his Twitter is gone, I don’t hear his rants anymore. It’s nice, even though I don’t like the Twitter police either. 1 2 Link to comment

He's the leader of the Republican party and currently the leading candidate for nomination in 2024. Yeah....I think his thoughts and what his sheep believe is still important. 5 Link to comment

knapplc Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Yeah. The continued support for TFG in light of world events is pretty baffling. It's often referred to as a cult, but more and more you have to wonder if that kind of hold on a person isn't what we're seeing. 2 Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 There's nothing graphic about the video, but if you don't like images of war, don't watch. A Russian armored column was ambushed near Kyiv. Heavy losses, mostly from artillery and drones. Spoiler This is a rough translation of the conversation: 0.04 connecting 0.05 Udar: Nitro, this is Udar. 0.07 Nitro: Hello. 0.08 Udar: Nitro, this is Udar, listening. 0.11 Nitro: Udar, this is Nitro. I have almost lost the whole sixth regiment 0.14 Udar: what? 0.17 Nitro: sixth regiment... Cant report back yet.. Collecting data... Enourmos losses. We wated. Right inaudible got ambushed. Regiment commander is dead. Trying to reach others. 0.31 Udar: Hold up, when you see the whole situation and have everyone gatherd, report back. Understand?? 0.34 Nitro: They shoot from there, with artillery fire. Tanks ... Unmanned, if I understood correctly, the Bayrakters are flying. The rest is lost, I try to find out. 2 1 Link to comment

It probably feels good to vent, anyway. I find the posts about tank columns getting destroyed much more interesting. The Dems should welcome a Trump candidacy in 2024. I think it’s the only way they win the exec office. 1 Link to comment

You'd have to have a pretty biased view to believe that Trump's "Putin is a genius" comment takes away from the atrocity. But you, biased, no way. 2 Link to comment
