Ousdahl picked up the Illannoy torch when Illy decided to hang out for a bit.
Sad to see. I mean, I crashed a pop up Latino late night bar with Ousy. Sure, he seemed pretty out of his element, but there was no moral breakdown of who was the true oppressor afterwards.

You wish.
Turned out, in this scenario, the Mexicans held the power.
Ousy was afraid Overlander was going to wind up face down in a potato field.

please refrain from personal attacks. No need to bring personal lives into this, and it's really not on topic within this thread.
Besides, we've got plenty to discuss within this thread that IS on topic.
There's the plan to get Palestinians to "register to live in fenced-off geographic islands located next to their neighborhoods and guarded by the Israeli military:"
https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/i ... e-bf36d1c9
There may or may not be historic precedent here, but I'm kind of afraid to ask.
There's also news of another attempted coup in Ukraine. Now, do you guys think it was a good guy coup or a bad guy coup?
Let me guess, you didn't bother to read the article? Or at least read the very next sentence?

It’s a message board, yada yada. But god damn, the imminent capture of our government by Putin sure puts all of this past-sins pantswetting in perspective.

If we have decided that Presidents have unlimited power in some areas, and effectively unlimited power in others (so long as the Court likes them), I would think that a vegetable President (that the Court doesn't like) isn't as dangerous as a great many alternatives.

The Kremlin said any peace plan proposed by a possible future Trump administration would have to reflect the reality on the ground but that Russian President Vladimir Putin remained open to talks.
"The value of any plan lies in the nuances and in taking into account the real state of affairs on the ground," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Reuters.
"President Putin has repeatedly said that Russia has been and remains open to negotiations, taking into account the real state of affairs on the ground," he said.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said on Tuesday that freezing hostilities at the prevailing front lines would be "strange," given Russia had violated international law by invading Ukraine.
Maybe it's just that Western propaganda I so pliantly lap up, but it feels to me like "give the aggressor what it's already taken by force" is not peace.

Now now, I have been led to believe that Putin would be afraid to attack Ukraine if Trump is back in the big chair, or something.

Russia rained missiles down on cities across Ukraine in broad daylight on Monday morning, killing at least 29 civilians and badly damaging Kyiv's main children's hospital in the deadliest air strike in months, officials said.
