Wanderer, wonderer, ponderer. Predatory negatory. Redwoods are home but home is a long way away.
Can’t throw in the towel, no. Just need to wake up the “fair playing” Dem crowd in safe Blue states to what’s gonna happen with a permanent GOP control of Congress.

So that cancels out the Texas R+5. Bunch of other red states to deal with now however. Dems in blue states are slow to wake to this danger.

We’ll have concepts of a tomahawk transfer.

Tribal instincts. We either educate and civilize our way out, or we revert to our animal state. It was a highly successful survival method in the olden times, it must be noted.

I think he does have a clue. He used a high payout at the annual rate to obfuscate how little it is per day. That’s deliberate.

He’s just evil, not clueless.

Will it need chemo, or high dose radiation? The sooner we start the better chance we have.

It seems like one of those news items that needs to be widely inserted into Russian language media and search portals by state actors, ie the US and others in the West. I wonder if they’re doing anything at all.

Then they shouldn’t’ve cultivated the xenophobic mob in their voter base. It was always a giant fault line in the party and it was certain to fracture in some fashion. Now wages and inflation are bound to rise further…

You used gloves to strip the spines and stems? Just guessing.

It’s a torrent of lies from maga. Every day.

I haven’t seen a single one. Am I blocking too hard?

Cool!

Total T.rexes found is still a relatively small #, no? I wonder what future discoveries will show.

The real kompromat is far worse IMO. It’s dozens or hundreds of barely pubescent young girls over the decades in videos filling a bigly “Krasnov” file at the KGB.

They try to do this with all visitors of import but they usually don’t bear fruit as well as this one did.

Bad assumptions.

My thoughts at year 10 in this Trump era is that his supporters need to feel maximum pain from his policies. Some as a result will wake up. Some (most) won’t and will just get the pain, which at least is somewhat useful. Protecting magats from themselves is counterproductive.

What, you’d force a communist solution onto the health care companies?! They need that capitalist incentive moolah to glom their 90 foot yachts, lest they be humiliated into the sub-70’ crowd. How heartless are you?

Fatalism about maga is entirely legit but it’s only about half to 2/3 of the supporters that are actual cultists (and believe Trump is “honest and trustworthy” etc). The rest have a chance at seeing their errors, eventually. Maybe.

Or more of a heads you lose, tails you lose. Whether someone else wins is irrelevant.
September 22, 2025 at 5:29 PM
S’fukt, no doubt.

And it kinda reminds me how the Mongols at their height of power and nadir of character held the Russian head down on the ground, under their boot. Then after a few centuries they break loose, only to pass along the brutality to everyone else forever more.

Regarding the long conquered and closely held territory Tatarstan, I always think of the best thread on "Russian Divorce" that I've ever read... from nearly 3 yrs ago now. Kamil Galeev is a treasure.

Sorry for Xitter link. :(

Would an actual native FSB agent as US president be any more effective at destroying the US from within than their extraordinary Agent Krasnov? I doubt it.

It was possibly the biggest ever single attack in world history.

The "missile map" shows the density.
Awaiting official figures from the air force, but monitors say there were probably over 900 drones

Russia also fired around about 19 missiles (8 ballistic, 9 cruise).

A regime-shattering economic crash and political disintegration is the only thing that could bring us hope for the end of the empire. Soon though... we hope.

Occasionally I like to check up on the Ukraine support tracker in case there's new data, but also to review the sad story of the US.

The first chart clearly shows the Trump zero-out effects — via Mike Johnson (Oct '23–Mar '24) and then directly from Jan '25.
