Biden to celebrate progress of American economy in Thursday remarks
  • Have you considered reading what your article says?

  • TIL about hair traps
  • Word of warning: they tend to trap more than hair. If you have a teenage boy in the house you'll find out real quick what I mean.

  • CNN shows supercut of Trump calling Harris ‘fascist’ – after JD Vance said no one should be using the word
  • Similar montages were put up by late night talk shows. The problem is too many people that need to see this either won't, or will dismiss it with some BS argument.

    Fox should be doing this too seeing as they are 'fair and balancedtm'

  • The Associated Press: Days after posting mugshot of a boy accused of school threat, sheriff puts video of 2 teens online
  • Ofc not. The only way to stop a bad 11 yo with a gun is with good armed 11 yo.

  • Lebanon’s health minister says 8 killed, 2,750 wounded by exploding pagers
  • Ah, you see it from Israel's POV. Interesting.

  • Lebanon’s health minister says 8 killed, 2,750 wounded by exploding pagers
  • At a certain point it stops being worth it. If sending a brainwashed 11 yo to blow up a checkpoint means you can no longer trust having any technology near you, your family and friends it might cause hesitation.

  • Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’
  • Please grow up and stop resorting to childish insults.

  • Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’
  • Nobody cares about whether the assassin was 'officially a democrat'. They want to know who he supports: the democrats, or the republicans. In NC independents can participate in primaries btw and he likely did so intending to f with them.

    If someone accused you of being pro-Trump and you said "I'm registered independent" do you think they'd be like 'oh, nm carry on then'?

  • Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’
  • Nope. You're back to childish name-calling so I'm out.

  • Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’
  • I asked you first or do you not understand how math works? Calling me a liar when the numbers are right there. Talk about blatant dishonesty.

  • Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’
  • You understand that by registering Independent he is eligible to vote in both party primaries in NC right? Talk about not understanding basic US civics. The dude that disavowed Trump and wanted Haley to beat him, and supported Sanders, Gabbard, Biden, and now Harris, is clearly voting 3rd party.

    If you’re registered as a Democrat, you’re a Democrat.

    BEHOLD! What Squid thinks is a Democrat!

  • Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’
  • What do you say about people that wear MAGA hats but registered Democratic to F with DNC nominations?

    You forgot to answer this one.

  • Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’
  • He also loudly declared he regretted doing so. Both these looney tunes wanna-be assassins were all over the place with their political leanings. Blindly assuming he isn't a democrat when things like 19 donations to the Democratic party strongly suggest otherwise is myopic.

  • Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’
  • And what do you say when they wear a MAGA hat and loudly state they only registered Democrat to F with primaries?

  • Hannity Falsely Calls Trump’s Would-Be Assassins ‘Democrats’
  • You going to bat for Hannity’s conspiracy bullshit is very telling.

    As is your seeming inability to understand basic reasoning.

    I'm curious why you think he isn't being labelled as Independent right off the bat by news agencies if registering Independent solidifies you as such? What do you say about people that wear MAGA hats but registered Democratic to F with DNC nominations?

    I'm not going to bat for Hannity. I'm saying we shouldn't be so smug as to assume he's wrong about this guy. More importantly, that undecideds will agree and not be turned off by an obvious bias towards a belief of Democratic purity. That is how you lose votes.

    Disappointing Systems in Ukraine - From imprecise precision munitions to explosive IFVs

    We've spent a lot of time in the past talking about systems that have been called 'game changers' or arguably overperformed in Ukraine, relative to either expectations, costs, or both.

    Today, we look at some of the opposite - systems that may not be having the expected impact, and which might prompt some thinking in planners observing the Ukrainian experience.

    Recipe Help for Dabbler

    Simply put, I'm looking to increase my overall vegetable intake and would like advice on best starter foods / recipes or recipe sources to help make the change more encouraging.

    I distrust crowdsourced recipe websites (allrecipes for example) because 95% of the time the recipe is plain bad so, if I may be so bold, I would prefer 'reputable' sources.

    Thanks in advance!

    The Russian Economy at War (2024) - Sanctions, growth, inflation & mounting risks

    Invidious link

    Since 2022, there have been wildly divergent predictions made about the way the Russian economy would hold up under pressure.

    Now, deep into Q3 2024 I want to have a closer look at the Russian economy, sanctions, and the risks it faces. And for a change in perspective, we will do it primarily using Russian data.
