The NVA didn't win the battles of the Tet offensive but their ability to prove mettlesome and disprove US narratives actually contributed to the growing anti-war movement in the US. The Ukrainians ability to continue to stick their fingers in the eyes of the Russians and strong online presence is also key morale element to their war. what goober is going to change their mind about supporting Trump to the bitter end? Maybe nobody in that category. But, if the will of American allies is taunted by these sorts of propaganda and they see more of their people laughing at Americans its all to the Iranian's good.

If the Virginia Supreme Court has standing in Texas perhaps. Since they do not have the ability to change Texas' behavior, screw them.

Yeah, there would not be as many African Americans in congress if Southern states didn't carve out the districts to max them up.

and the war on brown people.

Listening to Stuart Stevens talk about the referendum. He says the numbers were: double digits Yes in areas with predominantly African American residents single digits Yes in white predominant areas double digits Yes in Hispanic areas bare majority no vote in Virginia Beach Doors blown off for Yes in NOVA and Richmond So the devious attempts to use Obama images to juice No vote failed because African Americans are not "low IQ" like Trump says they are. The stars and bars crowd out in the Shenandoah and other places where they worship Robert E. Lee are still out there Hispanics probably turned off by all of the past year...how is that possible? You set forth a gestapo against everyone who is brown...why don't they like outright racism by the federal authorities? VA Beach is a GOP stronghold. They barely kept that maybe because some of those military retirees were sick of the current drunken asshat running the organization formerly known as the DoD. Nova - DOGE

she's lost weight or invested in photoshop.

I glanced over at the Washington Post earlier this morning and yep, its a house organ for a guy trying to sweet talk Trump for his business interests.

a very attractive badass she is.

Some die hard perhaps but he’s really verging on krazy as krackers level dissonance now

seeing reference to Trump demanding the nuclear codes on Saturday night and Gen Caine stopping him. Can someone find a source to that?

at least he's worried. Insert meme of Doogie Houser mind melding with the brain bug in Starship Troopers and declaring "its afraid!" and everyone cheering.

Plenty of feds all over who are offended by the regime's behavior. Him putting his name on the money is one of those subtle things. But it really spoke to this all being a vanity project.

Thats the ball game.

Virginia redistricting referendum margin of victory? Odds & Predictions 2026 Will the Virginia redistricting referendum pass? Odds & Predictions 2026 The public thinks it will pass at any rate. The margin will matter.

Watch tonight. The no vote put tons of dark money into the race and lied and cheated and stole. If the Yes vote crushes the No vote, that will tell you a lot.

Roosevelt was particularly foolish about thinking he could charm Stalin, his generals and his ministers. According to this book I'm reading about Hitler and Stalin (author Lawrence Rees), when one of the British foreign affairs ministers went to knock on Molotov's door one night when he was in Britain for a conference, Molotov answered the door with a pistol in his hand. That environment of paranoia does not lend itself to charm offensives.

that right there is emperor not only has new clothes but he's baying at the moon stuff. Aka high on his own supply. You don't think people would check, Donald? You gonna put yourself up there with Nixon and LBJ? I think this one calls for an explanation. Nixon ended Vietnam with something like detente with the Soviets and improved relations with the PRC despite losing the political struggle to save the RVN.

went looking for Scott Macfarlane's bsky account and found this.

Well, I'm sure Eisenhower et.al., were happier the Soviets were bashing heads with the Nazis as well. You don't need to make friends but allies can be helpful.

I recall an interview he gave in Spring Training when he hit a HR and Bernie Smilovitz asked him what pitch did he hit and Rob Deer just looked at him like he had three heads. Eventually snorting out an answer like "I dunno"

Drove by a polling place here in Chantilly and all yes signs: fingers crossed.

To quote Jim Price: Nice area. We routinely play the VGSL. They have nicer fields for each level than we do. The number of teams allows them to play more internal scrimmages than we can too.
