I guess Ukraine knows Russia better than we do. This happened a couple months ago.

Not to detract from Guy Incognito's post above which should be the #1 story on all the Sunday shows... But Elon's AI is lying outright about his saying he was glad Mueller died. https://bsky.app/profile/artcandee.bsky.social/post/3mhmmhn6c322b

He knows Trump is a criminal and should not be in power. He knows. He's just wishing things were different and Trump was the propaganda version where he's that super ripped guy from all the crap they sell at the gun shows.

Cool story, Donald. You gonna have them shoot to kill anyone who doesn't take off their shoes in a timely fashion?

Olbermann...remember him?

Don't worry, I'll be happy when you die too, Donald.

Christian is as Christian does

I've had a similar moment. There is some bar chain where the women are doing short kilts and its supposed to be a Scottish hooters. My buddy and I stopped in there to get dinner and were embarrassed for the girls and thinking, "aren't you cold in that outfit?"

One of the things I learned watching Russian mil-tech in the last 10 years is they love to claim things and people in the West love to parrot those claims. Remember when the Bradley fighting vehicle was terrible and a death trap for our troops? Well, it wasn't great for counter-insurgency work and dealing with IEDs in Iraq but its frigging great in Ukraine a mission for which it is well adapted. That chain gun is the hyena killer. Similarly, Russian robot tanks and "5th generation" fighters are supposedly the bee's knees but can't be produced in quantity or communicated with effectively. The Russians for having fought a war in Ukraine for 10 years can't do dynamic targeting for crap. The PRC having seen all this...very unsure of themselves. Particularly when they just fired their entire Joint Chiefs of Staff - parallel(ish) organization in the Central Military Commission.* *it would really be parallel if the Republican Party had appointed a commission of generals to ensure MAGA was being pursued correctly in the US military and that people were only accepting bribes from approved-by-the-party suppliers.

I think as a person who actively watches the PRC. Yeh, i'd trust them before I'd trust this gang of crooks in the current MAGA party in power. That said, they are going to do some self-reflection. The PRC is struggling with the results of the current war showing their stuff doesn't work very well. An F-35 damaged by ground fire? I thought the PRC anti-stealth radars were going to eliminate our stealth advantage? Puleeze.

So, when the high rents of downtown real estate are not being paid, its bad...but when its contributing to higher fuel prices to have people work downtown its bad.

...and that money has been keeping them afloat ever since. (JK)

Looking forward to when President [insert name] nationalizes the entire X/starlink/boring co/tesla conglomerate and it all becomes the US postal service.
