All out war wouldn't be on the table even if Russia blitzed Ukraine and Putin pissed on Kiev's ashes.

Maybe this was what Biden meant when he said the American response would depend on if it's a "minor incursion." There will be sanctions, but not the swift and severe ones. Okay. I mean, to be fair I don't think any sanctions would really matter. No sanctions have stopped Russia from gobbling...

I expect all the Republicans to say that after they took that standard out back and shot it, but she's the only one who voted against ACB over the nom being rushed. So she's the only one who can say it without being a giant hypocrite. Frankly I'm surprised that a year into the administration...

Back in 2020 when there was speculation ACB's nomination could end up a tie, liberal constitutional scholar and occasional Biden Admin legal advisor Laurence Tribe opined that the Vice President can't break ties for appointments. I don't think McConnell could get every single Republican to vote...

At Biden's press conference today he made a distinction between a "minor incursion" and an invasion by Russia. Why you would add confusion and not be unequivocal about any Russian action, minor or otherwise, is baffling. It's especially galling because Russia may not want to invade and take...

Put the kibosh on sending lethal aid to Ukraine last spring because Russia promised to draw-down and Biden rewarded Putin with a summit Waived sanctions on the Nord Stream pipeline and Democrats employed the dreaded Jim Crow 2.0 filibuster to stop new sanctions against it Oversaw a...

Awesome. The original was a ton of fun so I'm cautiously optimistic.

This is a new stupid genre I've noticed bubbling up among conservatives over the last few years. Because we took concrete steps to address acid rain and the ozone layer decades ago so they aren't a major catastrophe now, that's proof they were hoaxes all along. It's like... if you banned...

Just for some context, the National School Boards Association published a letter it sent to the White House inquiring about using the Patriot Act against parents at school board meetings it deemed threatening and violent in protesting critical race theory and mask mandates. It also used the term...

Whoever made this should be fired. Whoever approved it should be fired. Just... for hug's sake. I didn't think the Democrats could get dumber than "ahkually, you're saving 16 cents on your 4th of July!" but here we are.

I guess the pandemic is waning in New York City because the attacks in Crown Heights are back. October 11th Mid November November 30th

https://variety.com/2021/film/actors/dean-stockwell-dead-dies-quantum-leap-actor-1235107891/ He was always good, even in low grade stuff like The Langoliers. I recently watched the Battlestar Galactica remake and had a mixed reaction to the series, but one the pleasant surprises was Dean...

New Jersey state senate president trailing a truck driver who spent $153 on his campaign In Virginia the Republicans also won Lt Governor and Attorney General, electing the first Black woman and Latino to statewide office, respectively.

Wasn't sure if I should put this in a China thread or not, but I'm sure we'll need this one eventually, too. Israel bails on condemnation of China's treatment of Uighurs Straight up cowardly and repugnant of Israel of all countries to shirk away from condemning genocide in Xianjiang because...

There's no way Rudy Guiliani can possibly embarrass himself anymore than he already----
