    Fine, they have warts, so what? What country doesn't have corruption? 

    Oh hey, everyone does it, whatever 

    Getting away from Russia's influence has helped every single former Russian satellite state tremendously when it comes to corruption.   There's a reason for that.  It's beaten into their culture.  Excising cancer isn't easy.

     

    Ukraine is a f'd up country.   They are trying to westernize/ be what we call normal.   Russia doesn't like that.  Yes nato encroachment factors too, lots of factors.  But Russia definitely wants their control over Ukraine.

    I don’t know anything about the region, and a Burisma connection seems unreasonably convenient.  It would fall into the “50+ of our most experienced intelligence experts declare a laptop to be Russian malfeasance right before a highly contentious presidential election” convenient, but that’s a different discussion.

     

    With respect to Ukrainian activity, I’d think it’s fair to consider whether or not “occasional rogue incidents” accurately reflects what’s going on there.  It would seem unlikely that one side is practicing barbarism on the scale of 10/7, and the other maintaining operational and ethical discipline while in a fight to the death.

    Unreasonably convenient would be right.  Absurdly so.

     

    Technology has made it so you can't get away with things like you used to.  

     

    I'm not saying Ukraine are the good guys but they are trying to be.  

     

    Now Russia on the other hand has given awards notorious war criminals.  Bucha was pretty bad.  A lot of atrocities are actually online.   Some of the worst, Russians took videos of themselves.   

     

    Yes as Ap said 3 sides, I agree.  But there's an obvious difference between the 2 sides.

    I'm skeptical of this Burisma connection but I also never believed the ISIS-K story either.  My guess is State intel of some nation or two, etc., is behind the attack.  Some terrorist group?  Come on.

    It's an absurd accusation and it doesn't make sense.

     

    Ukraine is trying to be the "good guy" in this war.  Sure there's the occasional rogue incident but that will happen when one side is castrating enemy soldiers and raping anything breathing.  Having spent years in the region trust me when I say there's a segment of the population who are barely human.  

     

    It's amazing Zelensky has his soldiers not answering in kind more often.

    I’m saying that if a former elected has government docs in their possession, they do not get charged if they cooperate and turn them over when asked. Like it or not, that’s just how it works. 
     

    If you actually read Hur’s report, the evidence they could use to charge Biden for willful possession was a single comment he made. In all of the tapes with his ghostwriter, he never again mentioned them, none of the information ended up in the book. The documents were not even found in the house he was in when he made the comment (and they were in a “badly damaged box surrounded by household detritus”), and he had been out of office for barely a month (while in office, he was permitted to keep such files at his home).
     

    No jury would convict on that fact pattern. 

     

    If the Trump case had the same facts, Trump wouldn’t have been charged because there would be no likelihood of a conviction. 

     

    He got charged because, unlike Biden or Pence, Trump obstructed the investigation and lied to the Feds. That’s certainly enough to be able to prove intent to a jury. 
     

    The thing that has the right so made is that they mistakenly believe the cases are the same and Trump is being treated differently. They are not because Trump ensured his indictment by his own actions after the documents were discovered by the Feds. 

    How many times do you think you've spelled this out here?  At least 10.

    And yet he'll win the election in November. 

    I'm seeing more that shows he's gonna lose but maybe. 

     

    A lot of R's are gonna refuse to vote for him.  I think Kennedy is gonna siphon more off Trump but he could be a wild card.  We'll see.

    i'm calling it a retool. it's not a rebuild.

     

    our benchmarks are set. the cabinets and infastructre is there.

     

    they can trade back from the 1st and get 2 2's this year for a WR and an OL, with 3 picks in the 2nd or some other configuration. 

    Who knows?  Maybe they can pull out a 1st in 2025 plus another decent 2024 pick.  Some team falls in love with potential.....

    It was already looking like a proper rebuild, but I think the fans were in denial. Now there’s no hiding it. Unless Beane has something up his sleeve - like flipping this pick for some other vet WR1, Josh Allen will be throwing to a bunch of rooks and jags this year.

    I think this is right.  1 year rebuild unless something crazy changes.  It's a bummer but may be for the best.  The team as constructed could not win the super bowl.  

     

    I wonder if they see next year's draft as better than this years.

    Biden tries to unify this country every day and deliver for all Americans. From supporting unions, signing legislation to improve infrastructure, expanding American manufacturing, reducing the burden of student loans, fighting climate change, and improving our technology edge (AI, Chips, etc.)

     

    Biden hasn’t been perfect, but he’s done a lot with a GOP Congress that is more interested in manifesting chaos, while Biden is trying to make all American’s lives better despite severe ideological differences between the parties. 

     

     

     

     

     

    Anything you say will be turned into a negative,  even if it had a positive impact.  Another ironic thread.   80% of posts by the conservatives on this board are complaints (or straight up whining).

    Trump is a sac-religious narcissist and I cringe whenever I see his pastors like Jeffries come on Fox promoting him as a leader for evangelicals. 
     

    That being said.. stop asking Christians why they will vote for him over a man who makes a mockery of his faith by incessantly referencing said faith to absolve him of his progressive led assault on Christian values and what evangelicals hold sacred. 

    You think Bidens actions are worse?  I can't even fathom that pov here.

    You sound mad that people are noticing things. 
     

    Sorry that the Romney Republican you can push around is gone.

     

    Luckily for you, the party is fractured and MAGA has zero interest in winning elections, but conservatives can mobilize and boycott far more effectively than the left ever could.

     

    With the change on X and rise of alternative media/podcast, expect the “whining” to become louder and more often. 
     

    Most just wanted to be left alone.  Y’all won’t allow that to happen.  So here we are. 
     

     

    Push around?  What in the world are you on about?

     

    My only point is you are getting worked up about NOTHING.  Oh, I guess a correlary is that you all sound like the sissy lefties that used to get offended by everything.  Yup, that's you now congrats.  And if you don't see it your self awareness meter is busted.  Don't be surprised if you wake tomorrow with a Karen haircut and a Trump fupa.

    Wow, you’re edgy lol! Not overly clever or witty lol but you’ve got the young guy edginess down lol. Colbert-esque lol. Well done lol!
     

    The president of the United States makes a proclamation for a “made up celebration”, posts it on the social media that has your panties bunched, and you are annoyed at people noticing. But, that’s your thing, eh? 

    Noticing?  That's what's going on?  Did Easter get canceled yet?  Maybe Biden will execute the Easter bunny tomorrow. 

     

    You've all become so...small.  insignificant.   I at least agreed with conservatives about those people that were offended by everything.  They suck.    Now you're becoming them?  They are the worst part of the left.  I'd laugh were it not sad.

    the liberal movement just seems to exist for whatever the most recent offended class they create and creating new climate crises. I’m just genuinely not sure what they actually want to achieve as it changes every few years. 

    You see no irony posting this in a thread where conservatives are whining like professional Karen's?  Seriously?  

     

    I'm old enough to remember people laughing at serially offended Twitter twats.   And now lookie here whaddya know, conservatives have become the always offended crybabies.

    The entire conservative movement exists at this point to funnel money and power to the billionaire class.
     

    To keep the rubes supporting this movement, they use emotional triggers to activate people against anyone who might stand in the way of their mission. 
     

    So instead of “White House issues same proclamation it has in previous years” the pushed narrative is that the second-ever Catholic President of the United States hates Catholics. 
     

    This will keep people supporting candidates that will break working class Americans to ensure profits for their corporate overlords. 
     

    Also, I’m making steak tonight since it’s finally nice enough out for some grilling. Gonna try for rare but I’m a bit rusty on the timing. 
     

    And vanilla ice cream is the best ice cream. 

    Yes!  But why do the non billionaires seem to be doing it too?

     

    Get a meat thermometer.  Totally worth it.

    WHY DOES ANYONE CARE WHAT THE PRESIDENT DOES?? 

     

    Solid takes you’ve been bringing. 

    Only the idiotic things. Sadly….

    In terms of made up celebrations???  Yes, meaningless.   Utterly.  Ohhh I'm sure in your delusional world it's an attack on religion despite him being an actual practicing Catholic.  Lol, old farts getting worked up over nothing.   But, that's your thing eh?
