50 Shades of Malarkey

That’s called a firm grasp of the obvious.

Of course. Who could doubt the attraction of a personality that exudes all the pleasance of an over attended outhouse on a hot summer afternoon?

They’ve lost their income streams. Jill’s diary is estimated to be worth $30million.

Who buys overalls?

They call that due process.

The Supremacy clause in action.

Pulled the knobs off and put vise grips on them mothers.

Ever turn everything all the way up to get that Ted Nugent feedback sound?

Since the Chinese Catholics had the most at stake, time will tell.

You’re a bit of an instigator, aren’t you. How’s the guitar fittin’?

I managed to pick one up at its bottom. Up 30% as of now.

I agree with @WrestlingRasta’s opinion of Putin, but I see continuing, expanding the war, more death and destruction as the wrong path. The europeans engineered this predicament when they relinquished their energy dependence to Russia. Someone warned them about this, and they scoffed at him. As long as Russia has money and nukes they can keep killing. They are obviously willing to sacrifice a lot of people. May be the saddest part, is our war mongers best sales pitch is that it’s keeping our munitions plants busy.

Somebody’s not following stock advice of anti-American vikings.

Does it make any sense that the European Union has sent more money to Russia for the purchase of oil and gas than they have to Ukraine’s defense.

And Ukrainians aren’t? They’re not a democracy. They were considered one of the most corrupt countries in the world before Hunter and Joe became involved. It hasn’t changed So the Ukrainian deaths are worthwhile? Especially since Zelensky agreed to a settlement with Putin in about the first three months until Biden convinced Boris Johnson to tell him not to sign it, that we would provide what he needed to win. Too late. We have had boots on the ground for years. They are not listed as such, but they’re there. I don’t think we can afford for you to be wrong. Hell, we couldn’t afford what we’ve already spent. NATO, for all its bluster, has admitted that for Ukraine to succeed in pushing Russia back to pre-invasion borders will require substantial U.S. troop involvement. They have nine times the money that Russia has, yet they can’t muster a military response to Russia without us.

“Some Pigs Are More Equal” Absolute eloquence.

Are you referring to when you are negotiating the price?

Take them at their word: “Death to the police.” They are absolutely working to aid the terrorists in Israel. That’s illegal and grounds for revocation of student visas.

Maybe you could give us your original thoughts on how they align with Pence on the war in Ukraine. How far in debt should we go, how many more lives would you be willing to sacrifice, to win? Do you think Ukraine can win without it becoming a full blown confrontation between us and Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran?

I’m not shifting the goalposts, I expect any action taken to be a deterrence. Given no punishment, the terrorists wear the arrests like badges of victory, and valor. It’s not like they were going to be doing anything productive, otherwise.

They arrested a bunch of them before, and then reduced or dropped the charges and allowed the majority of them back in school. I will reserve my accolades for when the final results are announced, until then, I’ll expect a repetition of the past.

Godless.
