This was a tremendous f/u. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/10/25/house-progressives-russia-diplomacy-00063338 Do not contribute to the narrative of the aggressor

Thread is interesting. My thinking is that it is interesting if it gives Republicans cover to actually support strong stand with Ukraine against these "Liberal whingers who hate Orange Jesus" or it might just be terrible because those NRA teet-sucklers know one thing...Russia pays good money for bad pols

We knew this was going to happen because my son happens to be unstuck in time. He saw all this from Tralfamador.

Its a bad look for sure.

My son has a friend from high school whose name happens to be Rishi. I asked him to ask his buddies if they ever expected their buddy to end up as one of a handful of nuclear powers and to have control over a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.

No

Watching various Trump voters on various focus groups. They really don't get or say they don't get why people don't like Trump. They think this is completly cool behavior and people who don't like him are deranged and hateful. Gonna be more bloodshed before that gets fixed.

actually constructing inside Russia proper...amusing.

FYSA on what this Wagner Line nonsense is all about

I think these two would love for this to be true. I think Wagner is doing a very showy attempt at an attack in the area around Bakhmut and failing. So, per my awareness Wagner is not in Kherson. But, if I'm wrong...cool too.

They gave out a lot of Sinovac and their debt traps are laid all over the place. I was amused when they tried to lay a debt trap on the former Afghan government. It was one risible outcome of the disaster. You can try to bind the elected government of Afghanistan but what do you do when they get on a plane with suitcases of cash.

I have been told that Monticello has an excellent tour now which really emphasizes Thomas Jefferson slave's experiences

Matter of fact: my buddy and I were Ginger vs. Amber Lynn. I liked Ginger's sweetly pretty good looks and my buddy was into Amber's obvious curves. Ginger was like a tumble in the late summer hay in the barn where as Amber was like some gritty back alley on a rainy night in Tokyo where the stakes were life or death. Of course, Ginger's young lithe body was kept lean by copious amounts of cocaine so she was clearly not Mary Ann...

of course.

I miss young Ginger. I miss young Romad too

I love the refined history. I was going off what the Arlington tour guide told me and he’s gonna be biased.

Die Hard is a bit facile as meme content but i’ll allow this.
