I get why Talarico sounding like a preacher (because he's literally a minister) sets off a lot of spidey senses but *it's Texas*

They tried the turbolib thing with Beto and it didn't work, why do you want them to try it again?

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

Irony being that appealing to Ukrainians with “Big Israel” is totally Soviet derived. It was Ukrainian built tanks, ships, missiles, & GBAD that lost! Arab troops trained by our Silent & Boomer generations! It’s a metaphor meant for an audience who refers to the War of Attrition as Operation Kavkaz.

From what I observed of a lot of the online discourse, the Talarico/Crockett split really felt like it was along a religious/secular line and a major reason is because proudly Christian white men code very differently than most other Christians because of the religious right

Activision lawyers came to a leakers house tonight to serve them a C&D demanding they reveal their source to them and provide all protonmail+Twitter communications with the source within 24 hours or be under threat of lawsuit. If you work for Activision you can leak to me on Signal at Slasher.99

Another "gotcha" people like to make is the statements of sympathy Ukraine and their foreign affairs arms made toward Israel immediately following 10/7 which uh, every country did that, and I wonder why Ukraine might be interested in strongly condemning the slaughter and kidnapping of civilians?

I hope Crockett will do the right thing & hit the trail hard for him. She's a powerful personality & has a lot to offer.

Nothing wrong with a hard primary as long as everyone can shake hands & remember who the real bad guys are from now until November

Average Kuwaiti pilot seeing an unidentified radar track show up

The other aspect of this assertion that is wildly offensive is the implicit endorsement of Russian propaganda about "Ukraine oppressing ethnic Russians" because ethnic Russians are the Palestinians subjected to apartheid in this comparison

Yes, Finland with their "total defense" policy which is also oriented toward Russia as an adversary is probably a better analogy but most people are not familiar with that and given who the Finns fought alongside during WWII, there might be another reason he wouldn't want to make that comparison

But because Zelenskyy is Jewish, the dumbest amongst us who insist they aren't antisemites interpreted it as him wanting to create an apartheid state because that's an inherently Jewish trait and he clearly has dual loyalties to a country he isn't a citizen or resident of

"Zelenskyy is a zionist" traces back to a comment he made back in like 2022 where he said "Ukraine should be a big Israel" which was a reference to the then popular perception of Israel as a highly militarized society ready to 1v9 it's neighbors

reading "Bombing to Win" on the subway and shaking my head to show everyone I'm against bombing to win

“People are asking me, please, please, please, Mr. President, we're in to few wars. We can't take it anymore. We're not used to so little war in our country until you came along, we're just always peaceful. And I say, no, no, no, we’re going to war again"

I refuse to believe this is real. "Unleash Chiang" as sports trash talk is something Ron Burgundy would say.

the Republican Party is going to get worse before it gets even worse

I think these serious people would have brought this energy 18 months ago if they'd had any confidence their audiences would have taken them seriously. That they're doing it now means some combination of 1. They think they'll have a more receptive audience & 2. They don't feel they have a choice

F/A-18: Maekar;
F-15E: Baelor.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

that was Battlefield 4

just remembered we're probably gonna have a GOP guntuber congressional nominee tonight

If he does this, it’ll be worse than anything John Fetterman has done.

The used car salesman who owns Epstein's New Mexican ranch for some reason is in the lead for comptroller I guess.

The implications are detailed in the 2011 first person shooter released by DICE, Battlefield 3

The persistent threat that Iranian long range strike has on hydrocarbon infrastructure in the Gulf combined with the fact that there is no theory of victory to end that beyond complete disintegration of the Iranian state is probably freaking them out because it has very clear implications

it is genuinely fascinating how we're getting back into classical discussions/issues of seapower

I think the Iranians should take one from Van Ripper's shitty war game tactics and start using the near light speed motorcycle messengers.

If you want to take down American planes, you need American planes

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

A Kuwaiti F-18 could do the funniest thing right now
