Re: Terrorist state of Russia emboldened by Western inaction

The dithering of Western nations continues to have significant consequences. Ukraine cannot hold out forever, and without significant support from those of us in the West, things continue to get more dire. Russia *WILL* target a NATO nation given the opportunity. Ukraine is not their only target. F...

Re: Presidential ranking

Once again I remind that things happen in the world that do not involve the USA. Putin's intentions for Ukraine go back a long time. The invasion was going to happen regardless of who was in the White House. If anything, it's more likely that the invasion may have occurred sooner with Donald in cha...

Re: Joe Biden Doing it Again, how much proof do you need

Personally I voted for HRC and for Biden. I currently won't vote for democrats in the House or Senate because I know once they get there they will support not what the people of our district or state support. But, what the democratic party leaders support. The president is imo different. While I kn...

Re: Presidential ranking

How bout a shout out to H.W. Bush. Technically, he was in office when Russia tipped over. If there was a final nail in Russia's coffin it was hammered in during the first Gulf War by Herbert. By that time Russia had stuck a lot of marbles into Iraq. Along with some of their top military advisors. It...

Re: The GOP Snowflake Thread

Yeah. Republicans are too woke for Rob Schneider. Schneider didn't suddenly become inappropriate and offensive. They should have known beforehand. I have never found the man funny, whether it's SNL or his movies. There's a reason why he's not out touring. Schneider who? The one that bothers me is t...

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.

I know. Every case is different. Stats show most police / civilian interactions to be peaceful. Those that involve force are more often justified. But there are exceptions and those are what we hear about. You don’t hear about the vast majority that don’t involve force or are otherwise justifiable ...

Re: Presidential ranking

I don’t mind investing money for results. Do you? I just don’t care to throw money at a problem with no accountability and no expectation of results. All too often we equate spending money to solving the problem. Often times it’s wasted without a plan. Depends. Is it yet another patch slapped on th...

Re: Presidential ranking

Nobody won the Cold War. Both sides made disastrous mistakes. Russia dropped out first, due to its weaker economic fundamentals and essentially personality based political system, despite all its propaganda to the contrary. At some point propaganda has to be backed up with real governance beyond ju...

Re: Mass Shootings/Gun Control Reform Thread

I mean releasing some of those arrested on their own recognizance is perfectly okay. First time offenders who aren’t a danger to themselves or others and who aren’t flight risk. Fair enough. We lock the rest up. Now if i remember right the last time we tried the "tuff on crime" thing we f...

Re: Mass Shootings/Gun Control Reform Thread

There is some balance here. If you arrest someone multiple times then releasing them on their own recognizance isn’t working. Set the bail high enough that they don’t easily get out to reoffend. Part of the job of the law enforcement system and the judicial system is to protect the public as well a...

I don’t have a “side”. That’s all you seem to focus upon. More excuses. You could pass hundreds of gun laws but if you don’t enforce or won’t enforce the ones currently on the books, what makes you think new laws will work any better?

Re: Presidential ranking

Funny how Glenn takes credit for Democratic bills that Reagan, while he did sign them, he didn’t ask for them. As I recall, Reagan didn’t care shit for AIDS until his pal Rock Hudson died. That and rumor has it Nancy took up the cause earlier than anyone else in the Reagan administration. Consideri...

We have pm’d before. I am a year older than you. My first voting was Carter in 1976, iirc. The AIDS info is telling in that it did not really make a large jump until after a few years. Your own numbers show that AIDS funding didn’t jump by any significant amount until his second term. The administr...
