So, Mr. Putin, how does it feel to have a NATO ally (Finland) right there on your northwest border? (Two of them, actually, since Norway and Russia share a short border way up north.) And how does it feel to have the Baltic Sea completely surrounded by NATO? And how about having an unsinkable aircraft carrier (Gotland Island) within minutes of flying time of Kaliningrad?
What exactly is it that the United States exports to Russia that they can't get elsewhere, or manfacturer on their own? Even if their war machinery is not the latest and greatest, it seems to have been more than adquate to do what it is intended to do... i.e. ... kill people.
I still don’t see why we don’t have an absolute ban on trade with Russia. Were we fucking trading with Germany during the WWs? Pretty sure not (although correct me if I’m wrong). Having lived in Europe I do acknowledge the intertwinedness of the energy markets, but I do believe if it came down to it they would get onboard. And yes, the Russian people shouldn’t (necessarily) be punished for their asshat leaders’ fascism. But for fucks sake, why are we even now two years in still able to find 500 fucking entities to sanction?!?
If you are still there, you are an idiot and can't be fixed.....otherwise, GTFO!!!!!! and yes, I understand some people must stay for the good of us all (journalists, diplomats, NGO's etc.).....
Not sure they are emulating Putin. Whatever else one thinks of the guy, he's a level-headed, focused sociopath, not easily distracted by the next shiny object. And he can speak in complete sentences and string together complex paragraphs. Unlike the presumptive Republican presidential candidate (a sociopath as well... as are all high level politicans and business leaders) but not a very competent one.
BTW, if anyone tries to say that, tell them they're wrong, it's a constitutional republic which is a form of democracy. Feel free to be just as condescending and obnoxious as they were when you correct them right back.
“Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely,” Posobiec said during a panel moderated by former Donald Trump aide Steve Bannon on Thursday.
“We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this, right here,” he added.
"...believed that he could easily bend the will and break the resolve of a free people. That he could roll into a sovereign nation, and the world would roll over. That he could shake the foundations of security in Europe and beyond."
Do we have the resolve of the Ukranian people to reject a man like this?
Trust me when I tell you that as an Irishman Handsome Joe often closes his eyes for a moment and vividly imagines smacking more than one or two of those confederate filth sideways.
"Hi, I know I sanctioned you, but we need to set a meeting to discuss a continuing resolution to keep the government funded. You got time Monday morning?"
I feel like there's a passage in one of the many volumes of The Golden Bough in which is detailed, in dispassionate academic language, the ritual of the golden king of a New World cult being presented to his followers and made to ejaculate to fructify their fields and bring blessings of the other world to the people.

I think all Republican House Representatives should be intensely investigated to determine if they are receiving any bribes from Russian assets.
Ta, Dok. Slava Ukraini. 🌻

What worries me is that how many westerners currently in russia are going to get their ass is a jam!

I assume /s? Because if you are a westerner in Russia right now, I don’t pity you.
Putin only wishes Ukraine had folded as easily as republicans.
They really do.
I saw the cartoon.
Unfortunate we don't have any institutions dedicated to enforcement of laws.
“Republicans, many of whom may as well be wearing little Russian flag lapel pins…”
Any pics of them should have the Russky flag pin dropped in.

I was just thinking of that lovely prank.
"Sure would help if so many Republicans didn’t seem more interested in finding ways to help Donald Trump emulate Putin instead of opposing him."
I'm pretty sure you meant "fellate" and not "emulate."
Not sure they are emulating Putin. Whatever else one thinks of the guy, he's a level-headed, focused sociopath, not easily distracted by the next shiny object.

Did Republicans never watch the Simpsons?

From NYT:
"BREAKING NEWS
Alabama lawmakers are considering protecting in vitro fertilization after a top state court ruling led some clinics to halt I.V.F. treatments."
Also from NYT (probably):
Biden is definitely older than he was yesterday... Is this a bigger problem than we think?
So, life doesn't begin at conception anymore.
Got it
Does that mean if I stop thinking about sex I would go to jail in 'Bama?
Why would the Party of Reagan pick a totalitarian Russia over a Western looking democracy? What’s that?

Far-right influencer calls for ‘end of democracy’ at CPAC as Republicans downplay January 6
Remember Saint Ronnie's enormous penis? I think it was bigger than Hunter Biden's! MTG will investigate!
Since virtually NO one showed up for 2024 CPAC I'm not going to sweat piddling patriarchal ponce Posobiec's seditious "command" [snicker/smirk...].

"It's not a democracy, it's a republic." They've been telling on themselves for decades now.
BTW, if anyone tries to say that, tell them they're wrong, it's a constitutional republic which is a form of democracy. Feel free to be just as condescending and obnoxious as they were when you correct them right back.
Ole Three Shirts was moderating of course

We'll see in November
"Biden Should Slap Sanctions On House Republicans..."
He should, but he won't. That's the problem.
Trust me when I tell you that as an Irishman Handsome Joe often closes his eyes for a moment and vividly imagines smacking more than one or two of those confederate filth sideways.
And then reality sets in.
How would that work?
Well if the Supreme Court For Hire decides that presidents have absolute immunity, I'm sure that OHJB has some contingency plans in mind....
It wouldn't and we don't want it to...
And if it did, how would everything else work?
"Hi, I know I sanctioned you, but we need to set a meeting to discuss a continuing resolution to keep the government funded. You got time Monday morning?"
OT, MTG is gross
https://x.com/Acyn/status/1761127780484632788?s=20
I'll second that emotion (even though the link wouldn't play on my typing machine).
I do not EVER want to see that prevaricating pervert cum, Marj.
Never OT... never. "MTG is gross" can be the close of any conversation and fit perfectly.
When hasn't she been gross? I have a feeling a lot of people don't like her on Capitol Hill. I just wish they were planning her professional demise.
She serves no purpose, except, praise Trump and annoy people. She's like a gnat.
Except gnats are a valuable food source for many animals....
I feel like there's a passage in one of the many volumes of The Golden Bough in which is detailed, in dispassionate academic language, the ritual of the golden king of a New World cult being presented to his followers and made to ejaculate to fructify their fields and bring blessings of the other world to the people.
That is a fascinating book.
Even people paid to experience it weren't excited to see the *former* President cum, Marge.
EmptyGee is so MT.
