@NiallStanage your awareness and empathy toward @ambermarieduke while she was so clearly hurting was a nice reprieve during this chaotic week. And her pushing through and doing the show was meaningful. Very much appreciate you
Biden and Boris Johnson killed a peace deal in spring 2022 that Ukraine would be lucky to get today
They only wasted a few million lives and a few hundred billion dollars in the interim
It's been 3 years since Russia invaded Ukraine:
The US has wasted 100+ billion dollars, millions are dead, the average age of their military is 40+, Russia controls 20%+ of the country, Russian war production is exploding and US sanctions have mostly failed
Theories of Ukraine support which have completely fallen flat:
1. Protect ‘democracy’ (lol)
2. Weaken Russia/Putin - Putin has more of an ironclad grip than ever. The Russian economy has sanction proofed itself completely and their war production has boomed since the war began
3. To ‘deter’ China - Russia instead has become a Chinese vassal and the Chinese government got a free lesson on how to sanction proof their economy and on how to combat NATO weaponry. Also, weapons that would have been valuable for Taiwan were shipped to Ukraine instead all while depleting US stockpiles and making us less secure
4. Fortify NATO/Europe- Europe has proven itself unable to meet even modest arms production goals, it has become dramatically poorer after shifting off Russian gas, it faces populist revolts and today can't even guarantee a peacekeeping force in Ukraine of 30k without the US footing the bill and providing all their intelligence support
1) January 6th pipe bomb (most likely government involvement).
2) Ray Epps
3) Las Vegas shooting. As an owner of fully automatic weapons, I don’t believe all of that was done with bumpstocks. Also, what’s with the guy who was shot in the hotel, fled to Mexico and came back?
@matthewluciow92 numbers are there. two rings. Super Bowl MVP and considered by many to be the best blocking WR of his era if not of all time. Add in the fact that he defined the culture as much as any Steeler over a stretch that included so much winning. Steelers offense hurt you like a defense
It should've been Bernie all along. Populism was always going to win. Whole country despises the establishment. Now, we're stuck with Trump and his tech donors instead. Because he had enough sense to attack the elites. I loathe Democratic leaders and TV hosts who buried Bernie.
Stephen A. Smith tells an important truth: Democratic Party leadership shoves shitty presidential nominees down voters' throats because they hate primaries.
SMITH: "Y'all are too busy trying to pick candidates for the American people instead of listening to the American people tell you who they want. The last Democrat that the American people told you they wanted was Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton, it's her turn. Bernie Sanders had momentum — but it's Hillary's turn. Joe Biden captured momentum because representative Clyburn got involved in South Carolina, saved his behind, but it's really, really his turn.
Okay. He has no business running for reelection, but everybody went for it. Knowing he was supposed to be transitioning. He's going to be 81 years of age. Then you sit up there. He doesn't have a primary. Then he goes on the debate stage, embarrasses himself. Then y'all still let him take three damn weeks to walk away instead of getting the hell out there immediately.
So you can see if there's somebody other than Kamala Harris who could be the democratic nominee. Then she gets the nomination and everybody wants to act like she's the rock star. All of y'all wanted all along. Oh my God, let's throw up our hands and just to say, Hey, she is the one when you know, good and damn well, that wasn't the truth.
Pod Save America - 2/18/2025 - @stephenasmith calls out the Democratic establishment for constantly trying to choose their leader instead of letting Americans choose
"@BernieSanders had momentum. (No) Its Hillary's turn."
@briebriejoy@PiersUncensored@piersmorgan@bryan_johnson@GrantCardone@franifio Universal healthcare and no toxic food supply or environment. Not overprescribing or under prescribing medications. If she started her argument with where she ended it then I’m on board. We should all have quality food sources, access to healthcare and transparency on all of it
A senator yelling that the science can be wrong, but we shouldn’t question it because The Science is settled, perfectly sums up the absurdity of what we dealt with during Covid
