SDP likes to ensure the wind is blowing in the right direction. Now that they have ascertained that the wind sock is working. German media reports government has approved sending Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine Germany appears to be neck and neck with Canada:"The commander of the 10th Tank Division reported to his superiors that during an exercise with 18 Puma infantry fighting vehicles, all 18 of them broke down....There is a lack of munitions and equipment – and arms deliveries to Ukraine have only worsened the situation. "The cupboards are almost bare," said Alfons Mais, inspector general of the German army, at the beginning of the war. André Wüstner, head of the German Bundeswehr Association, seconds him: "We continue to be in free fall."

Thats pretty funny. I doubt he owns that particular pistol pretending to be a rifle. Its more something that a 18 year old from AR-15.com would put together. So he can pretend to be a SEAL if he grows up and moves out of mom's basement.

Is that a gun that you own? Or a picture of one that you found online?

A 67 years old Chinese shooter this time.

Nothing is more egregious, outrageous, shocking, than to imagine movies about dancing slaves.Who are celebrating their slavery. Celebrating the auctions where "wenches" are sold off like Florida condos. The successful winners taking possession of women for their sexual pleasures. Yep, FOX, the GOP defining family values for the new conservative American gun totin child. Disney Didn’t Leave the GOP Behind — Culture Did nothing says more about Florida than MTG and DeSantis. Working with FOX to define new family values.

I recommend the Euro 120 for home shower defense. It's what i use.

Ditto " With those yields, “diesel nut” peanuts could yield as much as 350 gallons of oil per acre," and Chevron is involved in the research.

I pray Brent gives up his secret desire to be a mod. Pray that Brent gets over the idea that everyone is out to get him.

European Parliament declares Russia to be a state sponsor of terrorism 23-11-2022 Russian Agents Suspected of Directing Far-Right Group to Mail Bombs in Spain "American and European officials believe that Russian military intelligence officers directed associates of a white supremacist militant group based in Russia to carry out a recent letter bomb campaign in Spain whose most prominent targets were the prime minister, the defense minister and foreign diplomats, according to U.S. officials." Is it time to quit pussy footing around about Putin and Russia? Don't forget Russia is the main suspect in the bombing of the NATO, EU Say Gas Pipeline Leaks Are 'Sabotage' But Stop Short Of Pointing Finger At Russia Time to treat Russia the same way Hezbollah is treated? The way the IRGC is treated?

Completely agree. The Abrams is a multi-fuel tanks designed to run on "The engine can use a variety of fuels, including jet fuel, gasoline, diesel and marine diesel.[2]" Biden is holding up tanks. There has been reports that the Abrams is too heavy. Its only 2 tons heavier than the Leopard 2. If the Ukrainians can operate the current mish-mash of every EU and NATO countries castoffs. The Abrams shouldn't be that difficult. Right now they have some captured Russian T-80 tanks that also have turbine engines.

All of that is true. BUT the last responsible US government with regards to debt was Clinton: While Obama had the financial crisis to deal with. He didn't tackle the deficit immediately. In addition Biden is now pouring deficit spending into an equation of record low unemployment. Which is causing his own FED to push up intrest rates.

True but lots of blame all around. Right now with full employment right after the covid deficit spending. The smart thing to do would be pay off debt. The German and Swiss governments seem to be the only responsible ones.

He keeps a cocked and locked 1911 behind the roll of TP.

The first casualty of politics is the truth. Without the acknowledgement of facts consensus is difficult or impossible to reach. In some countries tribalism has embedded lies and false ideologies in what they believe. Social economic political policy and the discussion thereof. Is inherently dry IMO. Beyond that the personality of regular posters does come out. John for example strikes me as someone impatient with ignorant time wasters. Who he labels as trolls. Joe frequently interjects a comedic irreverence into the discussion. Comedy intermixed with lies can be used to pander to a base. AKA populism. Hence it is what it is.

I know that everything since the last election has been tough. The GOP disintegrating into a laughing stock, clown show. But nobody is out to get you personally. You can't live in the past.

According to some recent articles in psychology journals. The American male is feeling unjustly persecuted by the concepts of liberal woke thinking. I looked for the PA on Brent and couldn't find it. "A similar share (12%) characterized cancel culture as mean-spirited attacks used to cause others harm:" If Brent apologizes to Wendy. We can put this all behind us.

Have you seen all the new stuff out at the SHOT show? Holy crap. The new Mark 7 reloaders! About 180 new guns between rifles, pistols and shotguns.A bizzilion $$ in new scopes.

and its the fourth quarter!

Lippy is a mod now? Why wasn't I told?

Already underway:Poland signs deal to buy 2nd batch of Abrams tanks 366 all together. The Abrams tanks in storage are the older M1 with the 105 gun. They don't have the independent commanders thermal and the digital sighting. They can be upgraded however.

Yes but now the trumpocrites have control authority over the speaker. So the overall function of the house is different. Wait till all the committees start their investigations. Wait till budget and debt ceiling kingmakers start their nonsense.

Well not so much but the US is dragging its feet: Germany will only send battle tanks to Ukraine if the US does the same, multiple reports suggest. "Reports suggest that Mr Scholz will only give the green light to the Leopards if the US President Joe Biden agrees to supply American Abrams tanks. However, the Pentagon's top security adviser, Colin Kahl, said late on Thursday that the US wasn't prepared to meet Kyiv's demands for the tanks." The US "Currently the M1 Abrams main battle tank is no longer in operational service with the US military and a number of these tanks were upgraded to the M1A2 standard. US Army has over 2 300 of these tanks in reserve storage" So 2300 of the old M1 tanks in storage but Biden is dragging his feet on approving any for shipment to Ukraine. "1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances "To solidify security commitments to Ukraine, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom signed the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances on December 5, 1994. A political agreement in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Accords, the memorandum included security assurances against the threat or use of force against Ukraine’s territory or political independence" So after Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons based upon US treaty commitments. The US welshed on its treaty. Sold it into to Russian slavery. "You must be so proud of your Country, your political your honor and your military." That would be debate, set and match.

In Israel the SC ordered" that a senior member of premier Benjamin Netanyahu's newly formed government cannot serve as minister due to a recent tax evasion conviction." I can see it now. The USSC orders that MTG be put in as VP! Ok, ok MTG put in charge of the Finance committee. "The decision was slammed by Prime Minister Netanyahu's coalition, which vowed to push ahead with controversial measures that would weaken the Supreme Court and its power to strike down legislation."

"Sentence commuted February 18, 2020 by President Donald Trump" I was wrong about trump. He is bipartisan. I was always under the assumption that Rod was just a run of the mill criminal. But not batshit crazy like MTG.

Or: George Santos accused of swindling disabled veteran and letting his dog die: reportSantos denied that he took $3,000 he raised for the dog's cancer surgery despite text message evidence Because there was another republican who cheated and stole from charities.So Santos was rewarded House Republican leadership placed Representative George Santos on two committees, Time to bring banana back into the discussion.
