@planet_condor@Bubblebathgirl @KamalaHQ In 2022 the whole world thought Russia was a military superpower. Ukraine showed that wasn’t true, even before Putin had to beg for Nth Korean arms and troops.
Afghanistan? Trump had shat the bed so completely it could only end badly.
@RojoRurba002 @harris_wins Trump says the damage will take 100s of years to rebuild. Is the Great Builder of Shiny Towers saying that Putin’s small military exercise (that’s not a war) has caused greater damage than all the fighting in WW2? The fire bombing of Tokyo? Two atomic bombs?
@bond_mindy6002@TeahCartel It’s not just airports he owes money to. People tell me he’s doing fewer and fewer rallies because there aren’t many venues left where he doesn’t owe rental or security fees. So sad.
@SpoPulse@YuzuDocuProject@afgrichboy@mikesharman As you said, HE shot HIS shot and lost… and it may cost the entire US team.
Sometimes you gotta play smart to win. Put ego aside for the common good.
American “exceptionalism” for the loss. It’s hilarious. That’s my point.
@CdotShackleford@SpoPulse@afgrichboy@mikesharman They might squeak in then—I thought there was just the women’s marathon to finish.
My dream finish would be a gold to America… and then a Chinese marathon runner (whose been training at altitude in Tibet) wraps up the result
@SpoPulse@YuzuDocuProject@afgrichboy@mikesharman Are we agreed then? The US system of tallying total medals is absurd (when the entire rest of the world tallies gold first)?
China won the Paris Olympics, USA came second… but will claim the win. Discuss.
@izs@P09Peter Odd fact for you: growing up in Canberra, Australia, the lady next door was JRRT’s goddaughter.
I went back and had a cup of tea with her a few years ago, still going strong
@P09Peter@izs I didn’t know Sam became mayor, but I can believe he was an honest politician.
Tim Walz has Samwise energy.
JD Vance, in contrast, is a Deagol.
Just a sidekick to Sméagol (who will kill him if he has to, to get what he wants).
@TomPlayford3@Peter_Fitz Umm… how are you asking that question if you have no clue what is going on? You sat out the SCOTUS and State decisions, and now you crawl out from under a rock?
