Putin has given Kiev literally every opportunity to end this war if they would just cede the territories that are aligned with Russia. Prior to the invasion, Russia gave Kiev literally every opportunity to prevent the invasion, if they would just stop shelling the Donbass. There is not much evidence to support that taking all of Ukraine was "always the plan". There is however a ton of evidence to support that taking eastern Ukraine was indeed always the plan, as Putin has been saying that since the late 90's. Kiev and the west, with their complete inability to negotiate peace, is giving Putin very little choice but to take all of Ukraine. That may or may not put a smile on Putin's face, but I don't think there is reason to believe that it was "always the plan".

Lol trans leak poop from their pee hole. Did not need to know that.

Shrug. Everything I've heard her say for the past couple years is pretty reasonable. Even Glenn beck may come around someday.

At least these enterprising young men are helping to bring automatic weapons into the Supreme Court's definition of "common use" :cool:

Of course you’re right. What WAS I thinking? Perhaps we could even add personal phone calls to the ffices of senators and representatives as a just beyond nuclear option?

Can't be said enough.

Fact check: True

There’s your problem right there. SMGDH

A self-loathing “Boomer”? That would explain a few things. Or, he could just be the Marxist his rabid collectivism makes him appear to be. Who knows?

You know, after further thought and consideration I think the child might actually have a point. We really do need to do something about “Boomer” Supremacy and “Boomer” privilege. Down with the Boomerarchy! :sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

And maybe, once he’s done fixing the country, he can move on to the rest of the world! And then cure cancer. Apparently nothing is beyond this uber mensch.

Awww! Does somebody need a diaper changed?

Though you’ve tried at least twice it seems to me that attempting to extend any kind of olive branch to this guy is pointless. Clearly he’s got a boulder-sized chip on his shoulder and is bound and determined to paint all “Boomers” with a broad, collectivst brush while completely ignoring the fact that any “Boomers” found HERE are most likely to be ones who fought all their lives against the very evils he whines so pathetically about. Best to just let him stamp his little feet and have his little tantrum until he runs out of steam.

Well, I hate to break it to ya... Short answer: Yes. Pretty much. Less short answer: Federal senators have a role to play in secessions as well. Secession isn't unilateral, as it does require some amount of negotiation with the federal government. This is where federal representation is helpful.

I probably could have been clearer but then it wouldn’t have matched the quote1 ;)

The one that’s not you.

The butthurt is strong with that one.

Well they were fighting a "literal" Hitler, they had to win it ....

Yea seems like a waste of time. It also seems like rearranging deck chairs. Hopefully they figure out soon that their time would be better spent planning and preaching secession. Shit, if Rand came out one day, and was like going forward secession is my top priority, that would be big fuckin news. Big enough possibly to get the general secession ball rolling.

the important thing is that he voted :up:

I see you graduated with high honors from the leftist school of debate, Matt. You know damn good and well that’s not what I mean. But by all means keep banging your head against that wall trying to “changeA” government.” Might as well try to perfect human nature while you’re at it, for all the good either will do. Be sure to vote good and hard next elction. I’m sure everything will be straightforward and honest and produce 100% reliable and fair results.

Then, with all due respect my brother, you’re simply wrong. A state is not necessary to protect free individuals from wrongdoers. In fact, it’s very existence provides the opportunity for those wrongdoers to multiply their influence and leave would-be free men with limited options to deal with the situation. The circumstances we find ourselves in right now came about BECAUSE of the cover and protection provided to those wrongdoers by the state, not in spite of it’s “protection” of fre individuals, which it never actually provides.
