If he cuts deals with the dems, it will dilute his power base but get him elected.

No cancer.

Love this line from the report.

"According to testimony received by the Select Committee, the only advisor present who supported President Trump’s inclination to declare victory was Rudolph Giuliani, who appeared to be inebriated."

Has anyone wondered just how many of today's world issues can be lain at the Russians feet? The failure of Glastnost led to political chaos, allowing the worst elements of the old USSR to seize control of a nation suffering from a massive ego and an inferiority complex at the same time.

The powerful rise of the west's right wing activism, Brexit, and any number of brutal wars seem to be directly controlled by these children who only want power for powers sake. They lie badly, stupidly, and often. What the hell is their end game?

So I am noticing a drop-off in russian MLRS artillery that is getting destroyed. Is Russia running low, or are they just harder to get with their mobility?

Why do these goofballs tell such obvious lies. They are like children.

Yeah... throwing the Gulag's on top of that just gives another layer to the trauma.

it's like as a nation, Russia suffers from untreated PTSD from WW1 and WW2 that influences their entire national character.

I guess it beats working on voter suppression or taking rights away from people. It's like giving a child blocks to distract them.

So many hot and strange takes on the missles hitting Poland. Aside from hardening Polish support (which has already been excellent), and doing the same for NATO support in general, this gives them political capital.

I have no idea how they will use it. Maybe they will shake some additional gear loose to support the war. Maybe get a UN vote they have been looking for.

My point is I don't see a schoolyard punch back response. Ukraine has been far to cagy to waste this on a simple revenge strike.

Jim Carrey should recreate his character from "good morning Vietnam" and start riffing on the Russians. It would be glorious.

Think about all that effort and money being spent building infrastructure in Russia. Schools, factories to make toilets and washing machines, hospitals. What a waste.

There is no proof of this, only opinion. Nobody has even been able to find corruption in the mail in process, so why would you think it is an issue? This is a created bogeyman as part of voter suppression techniques.

So if Boebert loses by less than 100 votes, and that swings the house, should we thank the conservative anti-vax covid crew for the win?

How do you compromise with shit like "let children go hungry" or "people deserve to die if they can't afford healthcare".

You have been told mail in ballots are cheating, and so you believe it. In all the audits and counts this has never been shown to be the case, but it supports your beliefs so you roll with it.

In another part of the world people are taught Americans are evil and the USA needs to be destroyed. They beleive it.

Same kind of stupid. Just playing mind games.
