They won’t really do it. This is just political posturing. Although I’d have to imagine it’s not without consequences. Could be demoralizing to the Ukrainian army that we’re playing a game of chicken with their lives and country

Pocolts is that you?

I agree although if these college kids are actually calling for the genocide of Jews, that does go a little too far imho. I don’t see it as much different than planning to attack some specific student or person, which obviously isn’t protected speech

That was probably true for a while but now it’s the republicans trying to destroy the military and undermine our allies who are at war with Russia. Plus your standard bearer spent years disparaging POWs, gold star parents and service members that were killed or wounded in action. So how about you gtfo?

Senator Tommy Tuberville, Republican of Alabama, on Tuesday lifted his blockade of nearly all the military promotions he had delayed for almost a year in protest of a Pentagon policy ensuring abortion access for service members, saying he would continue to hold up only the most senior generals. Hours after Mr. Tuberville said he would allow the promotions of about 440 service members, the Senate confirmed all of them in one fell swoop, by a single voice vote. “Thank God,” Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, said after he pushed the promotions through. “These military officers will now get the promotions they so rightfully earned.” The retreat represented a stark reversal for Mr. Tuberville, who for 10 months had steadfastly defended his move to stall all senior military promotions over a new Pentagon policy that offers time off and travel reimbursement to service members seeking abortions or fertility care. With his blockade, the first-term senator had single-handedly disrupted the Pentagon’s ability to fill its top ranks, leaving hundreds of promotions in limbo. Other officials in senior positions were left to operate on an “acting” basis, unable to hire people to staff their new positions or to move into the quarters that come with the job. “In the end, this was all pointless,” President Biden said in a statement. “Senator Tuberville, and the Republicans who stood with him, needlessly hurt hundreds of service members and military families and threatened our national security — all to push a partisan agenda. I hope no one forgets what he did.” The reversal came amid mounting pressure on Mr. Tuberville from both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/us/politics/tommy-tuberville-military-promotions.html

I rub it in my armpit

lol, that speaker Johnson is a huge sack of

That’s a whole lot of apologizing for a guy that assaulted officers

Are any of these posts left for the GC to evaluate?

I never said that, maybe go back and re-read the thread? Just because super Mike lied about what I said doesn’t make it true. Also quite ironic you’re attacking me when I’m the one saying the metoo movement was valid and necessary. Guys like supermike are saying it’s bullsh1t because there was no problem. All I’m saying is that’s definitely not true

And what’s this about a pool??

Maybe if you’re retarded, that’s what I said

It doesn’t sound like the F16s will be a game changer. Seems the expectations run from moderately effective to entirely useless

Well at least you admitted it

Nice try sh1tbag, but that’s not what I said

You sidestepped my question on the me too movement. Do you think those concerns were just made up or something?

The White House warned on Monday that the United States would run out of money to send weapons to Ukraine by the end of the year if Congress does not approve additional emergency support for the war that has been snarled by funding debates. The warning, delivered in a blunt letter to the House speaker, Mike Johnson, was the latest Biden administration salvo against a growing number of Republicans who say they are weary of shouldering the costs and political capital of a war that could grind on for years. So far, Congress has authorized $111 billion for Ukraine and critical U.S. national security needs, according to Shalanda D. Young, the White House’s budget director. In October, the administration asked for an additional $61.4 billion to continue helping the government in Kyiv stave off Russia. But she said about 60 percent of the money approved so far — $67 billion — remained in the United States, largely to bolster American weapons manufacturers that have ramped up production over the last year to meet Ukraine’s insatiable demand. Without more money to buy and supply additional weapons, Ms. Young said, the loss in American assistance “will kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield, not only putting at risk the gains Ukraine has made, but increasing the likelihood of Russian military victories.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/04/world/europe/us-congress-ukraine.html

I can’t tell if you’re deeply naive or entirely full of sh1t I mean, what did you think the #metoo movement was all about?

Seems a little heavy handed

Lots of guys I knew would have, yes. I don’t know where you grew up but that was quite common most places.

It was a joke, queen bee

It’s possible that was true of you and your friends (though I’m guessing that’s a rose-colored view), but it certainly wasn’t the case with many people back then. Societal expectations have definitely evolved

Quick — somebody give edjr a compliment!

Ah yes, the nepotism. Writing was on the wall then
