1984Echoes

All the cockroaches scurrying into dark corners hoping no one notices that they polluted our Democracy with their horrible act of sedition. However great or small.

Ewww.

Ah.. I think I know what you are getting at... Older gen still nostalgic for Russia and younger gen decidedly against Russia? I think the polls would confirm that but, you're right, would like to see poll stats to see what they say...

Chess pieces... those were just chess pieces... Gotta keep up Buddha!

76'ers trade Simmons plus Drummond and Curry and two 1sts to Nets for Harden & Millsap (is he injured?)

It'll break more strongly across regional lines. East of the Dnieper River (mix of ethnic Russians and Ukrainians) will be more closely OK with Russia, West of the Dnieper are ethnic Ukrainians dead-set against Russia... Probably 80-90% against.

Yeah, disagree with both of those moves. And disagree on drafting Corrall. There are both better WR's in that area as well as better Safety/LB'ers than QB Corrall so (not the QB I'd target if we're using a late 1st on one this year...). Ixne on both Corrall and Dotson.

Not even counting that they also moved Lyles. I feel TWICE as good now that I think about it!!!

If we don't trade Grant, does he move to SF and Bey to 6th man as Bagley starts at PF or... Does Stew go to the bench as 6th man and they try Bagley at Center?

I feel better now.

I haven't been paying attention but... Has he paired up with Seider at all?

Yeah but on the season as a whole he is... Not a -25 like Leddy Is a net positive +2 on the +/- (only Staal is better at +9, everyone else is worse). Not earth shattering... but like Sloth is saying (I'll summarize): there's just enough improvement there to notice...

It wasn't a transcript of the press meeting, unless I am misremembering... It was a transcript of the intelligence meeting reviewing the evidence, with redactions. Again, my memory is bad so even though I just listened to it yesterday I may be off on exactly what he said...

Russia wants Ukraine wiped off the map. Or as much as they can do successfully do that. Russia has no interest in a successful Ukrainian Democracy right next door. And Putin believes Ukraine should be a part of Russia, even if forcefully annexed. And while Russia is legitimately upset that NATO could be also parked at their doorstep (if Ukraine were ever successfully able to gain entry... which is not looking likely for at least the next 10 years btw...); Russia is using their "negotiating position" on NATO and NATO's refusal to change their modus operandi as an excuse to invade and kill Ukrainians. And their Democracy. The conflict is not tied to Ukrainians not wanting to roll over for Russia... but... yes, Ukrainians want nothing to do with Russia... that much is absolutely true.

As staffers kept dropping off copies of the Constitution of the United States, Trump kept flushing them down the toilet. Literally.

Ditto. And move Josh Jackson while we're at it please...

An old team whose time has passed them by... That reminds me of...

The spin is that he's protecting sources and methods and the reporter knows it. He's not going to get the "evidence" that he wants because that particular information is still classified. It's not hard to pick up on this... And it still says nothing of the sort that we are "heading into Ukraine". What exactly did you think we should be getting out of this?

But we are NOT heading into Ukraine to fight. Where are you getting that BS? We're simply using every tool at our disposal ASIDE from actually going into Ukraine to SUPPORT them in their fight against Russian aggression. You have mischaracterized America's position. Why?

They're MAGA and they hate America.

He was going to sell them to Putin in exchange for a Trump Tower Moscow... And asylum in his new Russian domicile.

... asking for a friend.

Can we bomb a superyacht?
