I eagerly await more AI slop that references studies that have never existed. Or, as this administration calls it, "science."

Rational arguments? You're relying on a cognitively impaired, narcissistic criminal to come to his senses?

Even if he does, there is damage here that will not be undone.

We need to stop treating this monster like a wayward child.

What does "globalist" mean again? Please explain that to me so I can understand.

Yeah. It would go to fund education. Sure. Funding education is totally on brand for modern conservatives.

They "didn't do anything" in the same way that a mob boss saying that someone should be "dealt with" didn't mean for that someone to be murdered.

Do those people ever get tired of all of that pearl-clutching? Being a modern conservative seems exhausting, what with all the faux outrage and constantly shifting fundamental beliefs.

I don’t think people get tired of being rewarded or reassured that they are good and right. I would imagine folks only get tired of pearl clutching these days when they’re just sort of bad at it and go for it without making sure the environment they’re posting in will guarantee a win. That being said, the topic of this thread largely relates to a forcible change in the environment in the US to uniformly guarantee a win and a pat on the head for pearl clutching as a matter of policy.

It is sadly a matter of when not if.

I guess that's better than defending pedophiles, deporting US citizens, and then complaining about literally everything all the time.

As Cicero said, "We are slaves of the law so that we may be free."

I'm not being sarcastic or anything here. Accepting a few limitations on the theoretical extents of my personal freedom so that I can exist and not worry about being murdered for my possessions on a minute-by-minute basis seems like a pretty good deal.

I believe if it's flown with the intent of deceiving the enemy then it's classified as a war crime. In this instance, it would appear that the Russians were attempting to at least create confusion for Ukranian forces. Does this qualify as perfidy?

Not that Russia cares about committing war crimes, of course.

When I saw the image it was a captured American vehicle (Americans provided to Ukraine, captured by Russia, sent back to the front flying Russian and American flags.) the image looked more like a joke than an attempt to deceive.

Hah. I just watched the video without reading the comments.

Not that Donald Trump cares about Russia committing war crimes, of course.

I've seen values estimated at between $150,000 to $200,000 for that trinket. That's actually a pretty solid bribe for most politicians and that's just what's been visible to the public.

For comparison, in AZ we had legislators caught in a sting operation that were selling individual votes for gambling legislation for between $660 to $60,000 in the 1990s.

We should not normalize this. That was a outright bribe even if it wasn't as big as what others gave. I wouldn't get off the hook for murder just because I argued that Ted Bundy killed waaaaaaay more people than me.

Too late “we” as a country already have. This country left caring about ethics and morals in 2016.
