Meh. The pick is nothing more than smart politics targeting voters in the upper mid west and rust belt. Practically, JD Vance is just another shill. He rolled over on his previous stance on Trump, just like Vivek did, and he's never stuck his neck out for unions, or collective bargaining. His other job will be to provide a populist smokescreen while Reaganomics continues carving up Main Street USA and exploding the deficit.

You've got to slide in a reference to 13 seconds. It's center square of doomer bingo.

Wow, there's a ton of butthurt in this thread for an election in...France?

Not *technically* true. The Norks have training missions with a number of allied African nations, namely Zimbabwe. So they have a thin veneer of diplomatic cover for sending engineering and construction troops to the Donbas. Assuming of course they are actually "engineering and construction" troops. Rather than say, something like the "volunteers" that China sent to North Korea that effectively replaced the North Korean People's Army and stalemated the Korean War. Or the "support troops" that China sent to North Vietnam to man anti-aircraft defenses and transport supplies. Or the strange number of Soviet Air Force pilots who became fighter aces from 1950-53, and 1965-72, even though the Soviet Union wasn't technically at war with anybody with an air force...

Isn't there some ambiguity though? That the states can establish religions, but the Federal government can't?

Quick! Someone remind her that she's supporting the neo-nazi, globalist, warmongering, uniparty, imperialist elites!

Keep listening to the other podcasts on the rest of the AFC East. They're just as good. For example, the basic concept to defend Miami is bracket coverage on the motion receiver, press-man on everyone else.

So Russia's "peace" plan is concede all of Russia's current gains, and concede collective security via NATO as preconditions for starting negotiations? Man, it's like this plan is designed to be rejected...

Sounds like a good watch. RUSI position papers are my bread-and-butter for information about this war, and their scholars are usually very grounded and informative.

MOSCOW, February 9. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Wednesday said Russia doesn’t plan to invade Ukraine and blamed the US for "aggressive plans."

Makes you wonder. Sweden, Poland, Finland, Japan, Korea...these are all countries that are our Allies and could perform Nuclear breakouts in a short length of time. Russia has done the Lord's work in convincing Europe that it is a credible threat, and that Europe needs to re-arm and re-evaluate its security decisions. If strategic mastermind Donald Trump wins the election and pulls us out of NATO. Or curtails our participation in NATO to such a degree no one trusts us, you'd have to think that Nuclear non-proliferation takes it right up the ass. No nuclear armed country has ever been invaded. If Poland doesn't trust us to get nuked to defend Warsaw, then the only way to defend Warsaw is with Polish nukes. Additional Nuclear powers don't add up to a safer human race, even if they do mean safer countries.

Heh. Generational wealth is a great insulator.

Annnnnnndddd BillsFanNPC has nothing better to do on Memorial Day than post Xitter embeds. Everyone is shocked.

I'm shocked, *shocked*, that a deficit exploding statist like Trump got panned at a libertarian convention.

I love this thread.

10 years/$1 Billion. Get er done Miami!

Just booked tickets for the Titans game. Dear god it's been too long since me and the crew saw a 1pm home game.

I'm pretty sure you're an actual, living breathing American. I honestly think BillsFanNC and Tibsy work for the same boss. Tibsy posts dittohead leftist talking points from Xitter, BillsFanNC counters with dittohead MAGA talking points from Xitter, people absorb partisan Xitter narratives and fight about them even if they don't have Xitter, America does another quarter turn down the toilet bowl.

Couldn't agree more. At best, this subforum is a wild west of spammers, dittoheads and terminal cases of internet brain. At worst, it's a successful influence operation run by god knows who.

Sounds fine to me if that's how it works and it's what folks believe. But it also hinges on Northerners and Midwesterners not caring about it nearly as much as they do. I used to volunteer at the NYS Military Museum. We've got a nice rack of captured Confederate battle flags. Every so often, southern gentlemen will angrily demand their return. Every time, we'd tell them to kick rocks. Courteously of course. But if you look at all the civil war memorials that dot the old towns in New York and elsewhere...those folks bitterly mourned their men that died winning "The War of the Rebellion". Nowadays their opinion doesn't seem to matter as much as bruised Southern egos, but I guess that's a price we have to pay for a unified country.

I had an ancestor die charging the stone wall at Fredericksburg. He died fighting for the United States of America. Virginia enjoys pissing on his sacrifice. Which is of course their prerogative. It's their school system. I have no idea why cherishing these traitors is important to them. Oh and Grant crushed Robert E Lee. He won ugly. But he won and we have a country because of it

"hyper competitive on wage costs". I love supply sider newspeak.

Good. *****'em. Good. *****'em.

You can tell the "Astroturf" is pretty much plastic carpeting over a slab of concrete. Back when the treatment for a concussion was a pack of camels and some smelling salts.
