I highly recommend:
So would you believe it if it came from Fox News?
Maybe storch can teach you all about gates.
Bradleys shouldn't be the tip of the spear
The 2nd ACR’s powerful M1A1 Abrams were following close behind their Bradleys, which were equipped with thermal imaging sights to help cut through the low-visibility desert.
Change your mind?
Trump had a lot of great policy and he was actually able to get results. Unlike most of these shit talkers pretending to be republicans. We have proof now based on his last run. Your lack of research listening to MSM bullshit is why you dont understand how important Trump is during this time. Many Americans quite frankly are tired of trying to play nice and play politics. Many Americans love Trump's openess to tell it how it is and tell it to their faces. Don't you realize the persecution he and his team are being put through is literally totalitarian and could happen to anyone who really challenges the establishment and their faggot UN agenda 2030? You don't understand the implications of this... you don't see the true establishment fascist dictatorship at play here. How many political opponents did Trumps DOJ arrest? Trump is the #1 candidate BY FAR for a reason. I'm surprised you still can't see why. It literally blows my mind that you think some pussy ass small GOP paid politician is going to make the changes we need in this country to better the world. The world has turned to fucking hell because of this election fraud. Don't you see it? You think some paid hack is going to have power to tell Opec to lower prices, to tell NATO countries to pay and stop robbing Americans? To bomb the shit out of ISIS, to take on the cartel? You may think he's a douche because you don't understand, however this guy actually takes control and he means it. If you don't understand what is at stake than you aren't seeing clearly and doing enough research into real totalitarian government movements.
Funny you keep injecting "me" into it and what I do or do not see when my comment was that the modern American electorate looks at the person and not the policies.
How do you guys explain Trump beating Hillary?
Even Donald trump was less douchey than Hillary.
The ones who want to remove trump are just as corrupt as the democrats and prove that an establishment does exist.
Gee, all politicians are corrupt? You don't say.
Goat is correct about this . . . paraphrasing quite a bit . . . a ham sandwich could beat Biden. Donald Trump will not.
It amazes me about American politics how much the individual matters in elections vs. how much their policies matter. Keep electing the person who is perceived as the lesser douche. You will continue to have a douche in office, but at least he's the lesser one.
Actual policies be damned, our douche is less douchey than your douche. Even Donald trump was less douchey than Hillary. Not that this is saying much.
Whether you like his policies or not, Trump is an extraordinary douche. And on that reason alone, he is unelectable in my opinion by modern American political standards. The independents want nothing to do with him. A good number of Repubs want nothing to do with him. But a large number of people can't live without him, regardless of the minuscule actual policy difference between him and anyone else on the R side. So he will get the R nomination -- and then he will lose.
Events may very well prove me wrong, but that's my prediction at this point.
Where are you now Paperboy ? The world needs you and you won't heed the call...
Best Paperboy Evarrr!!
and I was just talking about how an earthquake could knock my trailer off the hitch post.
You'd better not mention any asteroids, then.
Haven't made it over to the Gardens much this year, but last weekend the Family and I were in St. Louis to visit some relatives of the Mrs, so stopped there on the way back. Not too much was actually blooming, but the giant water lilies are always fun to see.
Apparently they're monsters:
All the maps and claims of gains tend to lack any sense of scale other than what your eyes see, which is that they're crowing about the gain of a couple farm fields. I found a site (maybe posted before but not going to go back looking for something that may or may not be there) that has a day by day assessment of who is in control where:
And kind as I've expected, there's very little actual gains being made by either side for a long time.
May as well be comparing maps of the western front from 1916. Maybe one side or the other is on the verge of a major breakthrough, or something has happened in the last 3 weeks, but not seeing it yet on this site.
Tricky balance for the Ukraine side. They have to play up the small gains to make it seem there could be an end in site and thus maintain support, but I think if they play it up too much they also risk losing support when it seems they are not giving a truthful picture of the strategic outlook.
Hi, Finger. How are you?
Is there a particular reason you haven't actually set up a profile? Just curious.
Yes, yet another reason for you all to stay away from Illinois.
The primary reason is still, of course, the smell in Decatur . . . but there are lots of other reasons.
Idiots.
Do you really think someone can defeat Russians with power of arms?
In modern times, no one in the world wants to "defeat Russia with power of arms." That's just Russian paranoia mit propaganda talking.
The world only wants Russia to understand they should stay within their own borders. They just need to keep smacking you in the nose with a newspaper enough times for you to finally learn the point . . . If you are intelligent / sober enough to learn. Which may be the world's mistaken assumption.
"They want to make a request. We don't do requests. We have a pre-planned show. Whatever they want, even if it IS something we play, will throw the whole fucking show off. JUST FUCKING IGNORE THEM!!"
You're missing an elegant and easy solution to this.
Get a big fishbowl.
Put blank cards and pencils next to said fishbowl.
Add placard for "requests."
Every third song, go over to fishbowl, pick a card.
Ignore what is actually written on said card, and announce title of the song you planned to do next anyway.
Play said song.
Repeat 3 songs later.
I knew what the didgiradoo was but this was the first time I'd ever seen a Hangpan or Hang Drum or whatever it is really called. I Googled "upside-down steel drum" since that's what it sounded like. Very cool.
Used to work for a third-party logistics company that took over a site from a company who in turn had taken it over from YRC. The story I was always told was YRC had very little clue what they were doing and never once met their budget obligations to the client. Disorganized mess. We benefited from the company in between having largely straightened out the operational aspects (but still having never turned a profit). We were having a decent run and looked like we knew what we were doing in comparison . . .
Will be interesting to see how badly this shocks the domestic carrier market. That could be quite a bit of capacity coming out.
those are some crazy vocal manipulations too. Pretty incredible.
Might be my untrained ear, but it sounds like she's using some of the same techniques as the Mongolian throat singers, getting a whistle while there's a hum going on, though hard for me to tell if both tones are hers or two separate tones overlaid. Don't think the video itself is any help in that regard as surely she was lip syncing to something recorded.
And suppressing religion? I don't know, but it doesn't even make sense. They were not arresting pro-Russian "church" leaders and shutting down those churches before the war. I'm guessing there's a good reason for it. Logic dictates that Ukraine didn't suddenly wake up and decide to take down some churches. And knowing how Russians lie about everything, I'm going to give Ukraine the benefit of a doubt on their reasons.
Not going to bother to watch the vid, but if you are saying he is accusing Ukraine of violating religious liberties while ignoring the fact Russia does the same against any non-Russian Orthodox religion, then he is either stupid or intentionally trying to mislead.
