The United States, my country, is a gold plated shithole. A garbage country and society in name only with a sociopathic culture of "whether I got mine or not, fuck you."

That being said, we are the absolute best, God like relatively speaking, at one thing and one thing only: Warfare. The killing lots of humans in high volume business. We have no peer in that one respect.

In this tortured metaphor, that high school team has the advantage of being aided in technology, tactics, and intelligence by the entirety of the NFL.

And that high school team has absolutely ran up the score board against the college team, making them look like chumps. So in retaliation, the college team tackles the high school teams cheerleaders and fans on the sidelines.

So eloquently put.

I'm sure there's a ( R )eason.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh look, another republican traitor publicly fellating putin.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This dirt bag has been a traitor for a long time now. He's the turd solely blocking DoD appointments as part of some religious crusade.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

His crusade just cost Alabama a nice new military HQ. Genius. Congrats Colorado.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So happy we get to keep Peterson as the main Space Force base. All the infrastructure is already here and it looks like Colorado Springs won the Climate Change lottery with having daily rain since June instead of crushing heat that the Southeast has gotten.

Everything is just so green and wet here in Colorado Springs, while every other place burns.

I'm afraid we'll all just be experiencing extremes from now on. Rain for months, drought for months. Not much "normal". California was panicking over drought and fires, then it finally gets relief, and... then it's flooding. Quite surprised that hurricanes haven't been too wild yet.

It's miserable in Texas now, second year straight with all-time heat. Vegetation and wildlife suffering. Year before last it felt like it rained for months, even into summer. While winters have been all-time cold (with rare snow for two years). I mean, I get it, we're basically in Mexico, I guess it's to be expected. Envious of Colorado, looks like a nice spot and honestly I'd like to visit.

Tommy Tuberville the military hating Putin sycophant? That Tommy Tuberville?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

meanwhile, Russia is pulling its 80-year-old Soviet war machines out of mothballs just to keep up with Ukraine’s “Junior High Team"

[–] potterpockets 27 points 1 year ago

Alone? Probably not. But that doesnt mean it isnt worth fighting. And they dont stand alone either.

Weird how that kinda also applied to 13 colonies facing the British circa 1776 Tommy, eh? You smooth-brained cock-wipe of a half-wit.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Now I’m convinced Ukraine will win.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Republican rhetoric and Russian rhetoric are indistinguishable. Fuck Teletubbie Tommy and Alabama for electing this traitor.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Proclame here proclame there...

Seems to me Russia is getting its butt kicked severely!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meanwhile, Russia are losing artilleries, areas controlled, and had over 250K killed as a result of combat. That being said, Ukraine can defeat them and we will continue supporting them.

Traitor Tuberville...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

He's a military strategist on par with his ability as being a winning dumbass, racist football coach.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

He lost to Vandy, I don't think he's the best person to make that point...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

which one is the college team?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By that logic we would have lost the American Revolution.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

So because one country is weaker we should allow the stronger nation to simply take it over?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do we even take any of this B's for face value? He's just a shill teeing up the narrative for his financers.

[–] yata 1 points 1 year ago

We aren't taking them at face value. His voters probably are though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Mitch McConnell is barely with it and Lindsey Graham is paralyzed by fear of getting named in Georgia's case against Trump, so Putin has had to put his 3rd string on the field.
