He doesn’t know. He thinks we’re handing over pallets of cash and “cluster bombs”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was very interesting to see Casey Cunningham in Messenbrink’s corner already. Also, Messenbrink is Vito-quick. I was amazed by that. It will be interesting to see what PSU does at 157-165. I think both Haines and Messenbrink would be locks for the 157 final. Not sure if Messenbrink is anywhere near full sized 165 yet. I could see one of them taking a RS, the other going 157, and Facundo going 165 again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The highest point in Nebraska is 5,429ft. Therefore, no, fishing is not great in Nebraska. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s a question for you: If 5,000 Ukrainians are killed by submunitions in the next 20 years, but they force Russia to retreat, is that better or worse than 100,000 Ukrainians dying and 300,000 more families/children being kidnapped? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How many innocent civilians do you think are going to be hanging out in Russian trenches? Because that is going to be the target. They aren’t going to be firing these indiscriminately into their own towns and cities, unlike the Russians, who still regularly target civilians in Ukraine and Syria. Oh, and thanks for explaining UXO to me. I had no clue what it meant. /s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Russia has been using cluster bombs and munitions since the start of the war, against civilians, so I’m not sure they’d have much of a leg to stand on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick check in on Tucker Carlson's "video views"

Who are “a lot of people”? Not the highly informed legal team that Fox News hired to represent them, apparently. They thought it was sufficiently likely that Fox would lose (and face a higher loss) that they convinced Fox to settle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
They aren’t cluster bombs. They are cluster munitions. Old cluster bombs (Vietnam era) had pretty terrible UXO rates; sometimes 40%. They were also dumb bombs that could end up wildly off target. These have rates below 2%, they’re going to be fired by the best howitzer the world has ever seen and will be fired at fixed targets, specifically Russian trenches. If you’re in your house, shooting at me, and I’m a quarter mile away from you and I know where I am, I can call for fire from an M777 battery 15 miles away and with unguided munitions, they’ll likely put a round in your yard on the first salvo, vaporizing you. If your perspective is that of a Russian soldier, no, it’s not a good thing. If you are a Ukrainian trying to clear out a Russian trench and mine fortification, it’s amazing.

Bombs are not propelled through the air; and they are not fired from an artillery. Also, artillery does not do “bombing”. Literally no one who knows anything about this would agree with anything you’ve said here. Maybe consider not expressing an opinion on the matter, eh? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s incorrect reporting. We are sending 155mm rounds, not bombs. It doesn’t make sense to send bombs; you have to have air superiority to use them, which the Ukrainians don’t currently have. Likely get smoked by a SAM before getting close enough to drop most munitions. Whereas,with a 155mm battery, you can shoot and scoot from 20+ miles away. And these particular munitions are well suited to clearing trenches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. We are sending M483A1 155mm rounds. GPS enabled 155mm rounds with submunitions are not dumb, Vietnam-era clusterbombs. There is a massive difference. Also, trainloads of 20-40 year old men from Ukraine arrive in Germany every day… for military training. The 200k Russian troops will be the poorest equipped and trained yet. They are sending 1940s-era relics to the front these days. T54s/55s. M483A1s will chew through those like a can opener opening a pack of sardines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, Russia revoked their participation in the Geneva Convention’s provisions on war crimes. Can’t commit a war crime (legally speaking) on someone from a country that pulled out of that agreement. Sucks to be a Russian soldier; protections go both ways. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-warcrimes-convention/russias-putin-revokes-geneva-convention-protocol-on-war-crimes-victims-idUSKBN1WW2IN Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We aren’t sending cluster bombs. Also, the US is sending expired, soon to be expired, or munitions that we don’t use in training. Things we have to pay to destroy anyways. So, instead of shipping them across the US, we fly them to Ukraine to get some live-fire weapons testing…for free. We get to see how our stuff stacks up against what was purportedly the second best army in the world, with no risk to American servicemen. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Also, I’m not sure how conclusive video of that lobby will be. I put my hand in four different phone cubbyholes before finding an empty one today. Now imagine hundreds of people doing that. Unless every cubby has a camera (doubt) in it, or someone has their hand palm-up when depositing said coke in the cubbyhole, video won’t tell investigators anything other than who put their hand in that cubby in a given timeframe. Likely a double digit number of people. Busy place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Couple of points. A very large number of people work there. Hundreds of visitors every day. I’m more inclined to believe young staffer than anything else. Also, I think Hunter wouldn’t bother taking it out of his pocket, if it was his. And then there’s this: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Iowa wrestlers facing gambling penalties? (from Iowa forum)

Jimmy, this may come as a surprise to you, but you don’t have to repeat every unsubstantiated rumor you hear or read about college kids. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
That’s your list of “far more intelligent persons”? Russell Brand? An extreme narcissist who doesn’t understand that the US can have an interest in helping defeat Russia that doesn’t stem primarily from funneling money to US contractors? That a deal that gives parts of Ukraine to Russia is not acceptable to Zelenskyy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He’s literally the reason Fox had to pay nearly 900 million dollars in the first of many lawsuits. He admitted that he knowingly spread lies about a variety of topics. It’s one thing to have an opinion; he knowingly spread a narrative he knew to be false. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

/s is common internet parlance indicating sarcasm. Having worked at USAFA and being friends with several others who work there, I can assure you that the combatives program is a waste of time for an athlete of Wyatt Hendrickson’s caliber. It’s for the average cadet at USAFA, checking a box for combat-ish readiness training. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, the Democrat controlled Congress didn’t have a single anti-230 bill make it out of committee in either house. What is the point you are trying to make? But, here is our favorite former wrestler with HIS plan to kill off 230: https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/house-republicans-draft-bill-to-strip-big-tech-companies-of-section-230-protections.amp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
