Huh, Pres says high gas prices are just the things are going to be from now on. I think his signing person says it all in this pic... https://nypost.com/2022/05/23/biden-praises-gas-prices-as-part-of-incredible-transition/

Update! "U.S. health officials said Monday they knew of one confirmed case, in the state of Massachusetts, and four probable cases — two in Utah, one in Florida and one in New York City. All were men who had traveled outside the U.S."

The one thing I picked out from the article worth mentioning, "There are now 20 confirmed cases in the UK..." I believe the non-African cases now total around 150! Damn - chilling.

Interesting that they don't make any distinction between ADD and ADHD. CH knows exactly what I'm talking about. Anyway, best of luck to your child CH.

<snip> ...and for preventing extremist policies (both far-left and far-right) to permeate American society. WHY SHOULD WE PREVENT THIS TYPE OF FREE SPEECH? You are right, government overreach into the lives of private citizens is absolutely an issue that needs to be reigned in, but there are some (limited) situations where the government should be able to operate to safeguard US interests. No system will ever be perfect and the government likes to push and exceed its legal authorities, so I appreciate people like you who are willing to call the government out when it misuses its power. APPRECIATES PEOPLE LIKE BH! Word! YOU'RE SOFT-PEDDALING, BY THE WAY. I just think absolute government distrust is a step too far, especially if you serve in the military. I MISSED IT DAMN IT, WHERE WAS THE ABSOLUTE PART? WHY DO I ALWAYS MISS THE BEST PARTS?

Yeah, that doesn't look good 🤣 . Sadly however, I think those "helper' folks are there for everyone who stops by to get photographed - so they all got the masked help treatment. Don't ask me how I know this sort of shit.

The chuckle at the end really finishes this one up for me:

That's just it, isn't it? One day someone somewhere will deploy a nuke. Will it be one hundred years form now, or next week. It seems like our demonstration of this weapon in August of 1945 has held back a lot of folks, but that can't last forever. Here's a question. Does Putin think we will come knocking if he delivers one or two tactical nuclear devices to his favorite places in Ukraine? It sure seems like he might actually have that kind of mindset right now. He's already risked everything for this, by completely cutting Russia off from the west. How desperate does he need to be in order to use special weapons thinking that WWIII won't start? For most of my life, we've always had symmetrical nuke forces standoff - they launch, then we launch everything. Is this a unique opportunity for him to have a successful asymmetrical nuke fight? After all, we're not his main enemy/threat right now. Consider what your own reaction will be when you learn that two nukes have been detonated over Ukraine. Will you be saying, "Let's go kick Russia's ass?" Or will you say, "Wait a minute, maybe things will cool down, let's take a breath and wait." I wonder how many might say, "Let someone else go clean that up." Does it feel like a warm Gamma infused morning to you?

Shoot down was with UK Built weapon (probably). They're all excited: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/uk-missile-shoots-down-first-russian-helicopter-in-ukraine-war-tztnmxqr2

Well, now that I have seen Joe give his explanation (see BashiChuni's post above), I understand it all. We're not sending troops there, we're not suggesting regime change, and I'm actually not sure about Chem. weapons.

I guess we're going to put troops into Ukraine after all... https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1507386975753494533

From The Times

My scenario was intended to be geared more for a strategic level, including ground level effects and worry and whining by the politicos. Lastly, what kind of reactions does it trigger with NATO and other non-Russo aligned folks.

And, I wonder how bad everyone's feelings would be hurt by the Russkies producing a yield (nuke detonation) at say FL300. No real damage, but a nuke is still a nuke, eh? Is this the most innocuous use of nuclear weapons?

Yes, but the media has to have drama to survive, it's how they continue to operate. Are you saying that some of the media (who can't hack it) should go out of business? Why, that would be a terrible thing indeed, reporters on the street, cats and dogs mating in back alleyways. Uh, maybe that was reporters and dogs....

I was going to say the same thing. "They were hacked by Merc (with Hunter's laptop), we need an investigation!"

Yes! And also to discover how much Merc/AMG is sandbagging.

When the truck pulls up to the jet with that chemtrail stuff, I always think that's made from petroleum?

Guess I picked a bad day to own a vehicle which only consumes premium fuel. $5.15/gal this morning. Did Joe do that, or was it Putin?

In one aspect, it's sad the Russia is getting some practice out of this experience. I'd rather they had saved their (potentially) inept maneuvering for a later conflict.

At least the trucker's pets will be well cared for: ottawa-threatens-to-take-away-animals-of-freedom-convoy-protestors

Perfect, use it when your GF is over!

Maybe it's a b*tt plug?

Good question! In any event, I propose that Hunter B. is appointed as Ambassador to Ukraine. Or one could make him a regional ambassador, you know of that whole area. He's been there before and knows one or two of the words they speak. Plus... Payday!
