Like Russia but even better for the oligarchs and somewhat better for the theocrats.

I think there is a lot of goosing of the numbers to drive up news viewership. Trump's disapproval is very high.

I celebrate the gentlemen who is the puncher and f the receiver of this punch for wearing a Nazi armband in a US city Tear the fascists down

The General is filling a role as the State of Texas' Adjutant General. He's wearing a US military uniform. https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/03/01/trump-speech-general-wore-uniform/ Its an act that the previous Chairman of the JCS General Milley was ashamed of when Trump walked him out to Lafayette Square during the BLM protests. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/28/mark-milley-us-general-trump-shouting-match

this does tempt me to vote for her.

Listen to "the Rest of History" podcast re: 1974 in the UK. Holy crap, that country was on its ass. They describe it as a bunch of balding, bespectcled, dandruffy old dudes with slump shoulders just treading water without actually doing the necessary to transition the UK to some actual economic model that could work. Amusingly, they cite the war records of some of the piss poor leaders on both sides and they are genuine dudes in the Don Brown sense.

its a political term. This is the political forum.

You might also wear this label if you have a hidden love of single party socialism and wonder why its never been tried. It has.

If you are for Ukraine and for democracy you don't need to wear this label. If you are for Putin and for authoritarianism, you do.

Tankie - Wikipedia

It wasn't. I was just amused at the definition of tankie. I had heard it in the context of post-soviet studies and a little bit since Feb 2022 in context of GOP Ukraine haterz.

by definition the Tankies will be doing whatever hurts democracy the most, so why bother making them happy.

More religious stuff from a guy who probably would think a lot more if there were repercussion .

This general officer needs to face punishment

Finally some consequences.

Can you imagine Rand Paul as Minority Leader?

If Trump won anywhere with a Whole Foods or a Trader Joes that would be news.

shocked the Taliban didn't usher in a thriving middle class.

I would say she is the model of Michigan chick at age 80. Tough, smart, dirty mouth, takes no crap.

Tulsi Gabbard is still on Foxnews? Is Bashir al Assad's mouthpiece that popular?

we are getting closer and closer to WWIII because of these sister-****ers.
