Staubach, Aikman, White, and Romo did it once.
Meredith twice.
Dak Prescott NINE TIMES (above the blue line).

Gonna have to double check that source.

The US is engaging in a flamboyant theatre of self-destruction - trashing the economies and democracies of its allies along with its own. And as it cuts away all its own foundations Trump’s supporters trumpet self-inflicted collapse as 🇺🇸 statesmanship, vision and strength…

"This is essentially Russian propaganda coming from the mouth of the American president." - said Nesty and Gas, American volunteers from the 13th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, "Khartia," who came to Ukraine last year to fight against the occupiers.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

So, in a nutshell:

1. Putin refuses to give Trump an easy win and stop the war in Ukraine.
2. Zelensky stubbornly declines to surrender Ukraine to Russia despite colossal pressure.
3. Trump is in a deadlock trying to shift responsibility onto Ukraine for the fiasco of his unrealistic and illusional "plan" to get the Nobel Peace Prize quickly.

The rest is just buzz.

This is absolutely disgusting. I’m embarrassed to be an American. Revolting.

Has anyone been more desperate to be liked in the history of the world, yet remained so unlikable?

[david D. @secretsqrl123]

the art of stupidity ..

the fake numbers that trump has used.. 200 billion, then 300 billion, now 350 billion... when do we get to 500 billion.. the real number is about 67 billion (in mostly old and out of date gear that we were scrapping), and under 20 billion in grants for government (much is to be paid back).

the war can and will be won, just stfu

it should have never been started, no war should ever be started idiot... russia started it, and you did nothing to stop it for 4 years!!!!

the US aid to ukraine is far less than the rest of the world
artillery shells last year about 700K (us) europe 2 million, european shell buy 1.4 million, non eu and ukraine shell production 1+ million

tanks europe 1950+ usa ... 31

fixed wing aircraft europe 120+... usa 0

many of the patriots (rockets) we are sending are exchanges that japan and others gave us, then we turn around and "charge" ukraine for them.

many countries (finland, romania, etc) DO NOT PUT A VALUE on gear sent to ukraine.... also like finland and turkey aid to ukraine is secret and not valued or listed till it shows up on the battlefield.

europes money is only guaranteed due to the 300 billion in frozen funds, if you want to help ukraine you can ask for some of it... you have not.

the 61 billion "aid bill" that was signed, of which ukraine only gets 5 billion of is reimbursable... ukraine agreed to pay it back.

the war in ukraine is important to the US, we gave our word that the us would protect ukraine after it gave up its nukes... now everyone is looking at getting nukes for protection and no one trusts the usa any more.

we have a big ocean... that means nothing any more.. bad guys have aircraft, ships, and rockets that can go around the world... we are not safe behind a little water.

half of the aid that was allocated to ukraine is "missing", yes. it was never sent, patriots, aircraft, rockets all allocated, over 4 billion in funds are missing.... from ukraine. it is still in the USA, still unspent, unshipped..... the aid was passed then sat on.. thats missing.. tard.

7 months of shells that were allocated to ukraine... went missing. they were shipped to Israel by biden.... again allocated and not received.

president Z is following the law of ukraine, in time of war according to the constitution you do not have elections.... you know who has the same law? the brits,,, in WWII they did not have elections till after WWII... so do you feel the same about Churchill???

putin has not had a fair election in 25 years... he has murdered his way to the top.. just ask Alexei Navalny, ow wait never mind....

its so bad the person running against putin from the communist party told people to vote for putin 2 days prior to the election.

independent polls by the EU put president Z at 57% positive... trump wone by 49%.. president Z is more popular in ukraine than you are in the USA.

the 4% number is a verified russian talking point.. thats a bad sign

better act fast??? why, ukraine is currently winning.. russia has less captured land now than it did 2.5 years ago. and now ukraine is mounting a counter attack in nearly every sector.. this is without full mobilization that is coming.

millions have died.. no
ukraine has done a great job of evacuations and saved millions.. the nearly million dead is on the russian side... in the next 90 days the russians are expected to cross the 1 million number of dead and seriously wounded.. and ukraine stands at 49,000.

while russia is now using old cars and donkeys at the front due to the lack of military vehicles ukrain is building new modern artillery and armor, the EU after a much delayed start is now cranking out 10-12000 armored vehicles, more rockets, more aircraft... and now refusing to buy US made military gear.. is that the outcome you were hoping for? the military industrial might will be left out in the cold under your leadership... thats over 800 billion in losses..

but what ever, keep talking, keep using russian talking points, and keep losing friends while the world moves on... without us

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

so now that he’s president the president has “nothing to do with it”, got it

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

trump talking about shutting down the dept of education while hyping up norwegian and chinese education is insane, these countries have well funded public education systems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Preston Stewart @prestonstew_]

Call me old fashioned, but it makes me nervous when Russian leaders and media are cheering on actions taken here in the US.

[Preston Stewart @prestonstew_]

When Ukrainian citizens in Ukraine push for a change in the law to hold immediate presidential elections amidst this war, I'd support them.

But when pro Russian accounts say this needs to happen because they care about the Ukrainian people, I find that a little suspect.

I was a Blackhawk helicopter crew chief in the Army.

I was even a Flight Instructor. This means that I trained Crew Chiefs and ensured that they completed all training annually to maintain their flight ratings.

One massive responsibility we had was to be the eyes for the pilots. We handled airspace obstacle avoidance and communicated potential risks to the pilots.

Quite often we would train as a flight of 2 or 3 birds flying in formation.

It was my job to have my head out the window and tell the pilots that the aircraft behind us was "staggered right at 3 discs". (We measured close distances in terms of the diameter of our rotor discs).

I can tell you after doing this for hundreds of hours, even when you know EXACTLY where a Blackhawk is, and you have night vision goggles on, it is EXTREMELY hard to SEE the aircraft.

These birds are designed to be hard to see at night.

The red and green lights on the side get lost in the lights of the city below. The only "lights" on top of the aircraft are called "slime lights" because they are a very very very dim green.

Incredibly difficult to see.

If you are above the helicopter, even if it has it flood light or spot light (2 different lights) on, underneath it, it is still hard to see the bird because all of that illumination is below the airframe.

Another thing people should know is just how busy things can get on the aircraft.

Pilots are talking to each other about what they are observing on the instrument panels. This means neither are looking outside the aircraft.

The crew chief might be conducting a fuel check, where we would also be looking up into the cockpit at the fuel gages and the clock.

This CAN lead to moments where all 3 people on the aircraft are all looking inside the aircraft.

It's not supposed to happen that way. We are supposed to announce when we are "coming inside" or are "back outside" the aircraft. But that doesn't always happen.

Also, in cities like DC, the radio traffic is constant and can make it hard to filter out what is important for you to listen to.

Checking instruments, doing math, reading checklists, and listening to multiple radios all at the same time is HARD. Mistakes happen.

Anyone out there telling you that they find the aircraft collision to be suspect, have NEVER been in a flight crew and they have ZERO idea what they are talking about.

Ignore them all. Better yet, mock the hell out of them.

999 times out of 1000 aircraft incidents always come down to a series of pilot and crew errors.

Humans are involved. They aren't perfect.

Tonight, my heart and mind is with the families of those involved in this tragic event.

I won't join the chorus of idiots making speculations.
