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.

Right? I mean, just add up the numbers. The 13 Colonies vs the British Empire. North Vietnam vs the USA. Afghanistan vs. the USSR The Russian Empire vs. the Japanese Empire. Weaker powers never fight larger ones. Because if they just add up the numbers, they'd realize they're doomed. And there's no point in trying. Look at Imperial Japan...they realized they couldn't win a war against the US... that's why they didn't bother bombing Pearl Harbor...

Look at All Pro's posting history in this thread. It's a bizarre mix of leftist "anti-imperialism" and isolationist declinism. He thinks America is an Empire that deserves to fall because Empires are wrong, but that Russia and China are Empires that deserve to rise because de- dollarization is good and a weakened America is good.

Yuuuuuuuppp. In spite of the fact that Syrsky was torn down as a mindless butcher of the Soviet School... he's proven much more pragmatic than Zaluzhny. And far less profligate with the lives of his men. So he gets to trade space for time until his logistics backlog works itself out. Whatever strategy he works out after that though...maybe he shouldn't telegraph a grand counter attack for months? Maybe he should take a page from Mikhail Teplinsky's book, and make Russia flog itself against Ukrainian defenses...that are properly supplied with artillery ammunition and air defenses for the first time in forever.

She might want to check and see if she's hired anyone from DeSantis 2024. I get it, this is supposed to be one of those "Mama Grizzly", "Real America vs. Fake America" messaging moments. She ***** it up royally. And since Puppet Vivek has conveniently disappeared after performing his mission of helping kneecap DeSantis, JD Vance is the real winner in this situation. Quiet Gene! She's a Tough Woman Making Tough Choices!

I wouldn't be shocked if Beane goes IOL here. Unless this class is historically weak, the best Cs and Gs in the draft are still on the board.

If Ukraine loses, it will be because somehow Ukraine was outproduced, even though it's supported by a block comprising about 50% of the human race's total economic production. If Ukraine loses, it will be because we and our allies are exactly as weak as BRICS and the rest of the Russo-Chinese block think we are. I don't want the bad old days to come back, and our grandfathers didn't rebuild the world for our benefit for us to piss it all away.

"Uniparty" seems to mean "the adults in the room who are interested in governing and compromise".

"American Regime"? Ah yes, another foreigner/NPC/bot whose opinion about my country I can safely ignore.

Ukraine is paying the price for Obama's spinelessness in Syria (I remember Putin rolling tanks ove Obama's red lines). Ditto Crimea. You can't blame Russia for thinking Obama's VP would act in the same fashion, especially given how fractious our domestic politics are right now. The only reason why Ukraine still exists is because Russia thought this would be Crimea, Part II and planned accordingly.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. When Trump is to blame for everything. Trump Derangement Syndrome. When everything good happens because of Trump. It's easy to determine which of these delusions is most comfortable to you.

Could you imagine paying six figures for a Pinto?

For what it's worth, the Pats proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that being classy has zero correlation to winning Superbowls.
