It’s almost like they’re re-enacting Stalins great purge, but through a weird indirect medical method vs Yaghoda, Yezhov, and Beria. Granted I’m sure there are many many many members of the GOP who would gladly take up that role.

RFC2324 posted:Joe Rogan was never a funny comedian. Are you confusing him with Seth Rogan? Ehh, Joe had moments, but I look back on his show now as a vehicle for Joey Diaz stories about making GBS threads his pants or in a neighbor's yard or whatever. Rogan is a stopped clock in comedy, like most conservative or libertarian "comedians" these days. He gets a giggle from time to time, but mostly you're just waiting for it to be over. I used to like Rogan a few years ago, but I've grown a little more as an adult and he's about as funny as the plague itself now.

RFC2324 posted:Joe Rogan was never a funny comedian. Are you confusing him with Seth Rogan? I seem to recall him being funny on news radio and his earlier standups kind of funny and also the Carlos Mencia thing. That said for his podcast I think I’ve only been able to listen to it via clips from interviews on subjects I was interested in, like when they had John Carmack or discussing reffing with Herb Dean. Basically what Crusty Minge said.

He's not as vocal now about his position, but when one of his shows was cancelled a few years ago, the Fox News crew pushed his audience to clamor for more, so it wound up on Fox for a few more seasons. Also his History Channel show is just boomer bait. Think that was already cancelled though, only ran one season. I'll take more Ancient Aliens in its place, please.

Yeah, my cousin recently quit a teaching aide job because it pays so loving little. Like $22k/year salary in Austin, TX. He loved the work, but couldn't keep up with any of his bills, so now he works in restaurants again, where he makes more than being a civil servant and helping developmentally challenged kids grasp educational concepts.

Why not have 4th graders teach 3rd graders and so on? The material should still be fresh in their heads and they don’t know what teachers unions are. There, I solved Education. I am very smart. Pay me a lot of money, my kid goes to private school.

Private school is just public school with dress codes, Jesus and higher babysitting (admission) fees. I'm a product of private schooling through 6th grade.

So... Big cyber attacks today on Ukranian government websites https://twitter.com/ChristopherJM/status/1481866343104360450?s=20 Jake Sullivan and the NSC are telling press that Russia is preparing false-flag attacks to justify an invasion https://twitter.com/NatashaBertrand/status/1482000216471572482?s=20 A RAND Russia analyst is saying that a diplomatic failure this week will probably mark a point of no return https://twitter.com/MassDara/status/1481726020923265025?s=20 This looks real bad - bad for Ukraine, bad for Europe, probably bad for Russia in the long run, and bad for the world.

I'm crossposting this from the D&D Immigration thread. I feel that the members of this forum would understand just how hosed the members of the TX ARNG are right now. Among the people being abused with regard to immigration policy are the members of the National Guard getting used as props for political purposes. This article is about the hardships the members of the Texas National Guard are going through due to the border mission. As background I need to clarify how the NG works. The National Guard is a reserve component of the Active Duty Army. When not on active duty, the Guard is organized and paid for under Title 32 of the US Code. When not on active duty the Guard also falls under the command and jurisdiction of the governor of whatever state they belong to. The Guard can be put into Federal service and its Soldiers made part of the regular Army, which operates under Title 10 of the US Code. When their service is up, the Guardsmen are discharged from the regular Army and rejoin their state organization. Another way the Guard can be used is under what's called "State Active Duty." This duty status is at the behest of the state government and is paid for by the state budget, no Federal money involved. When a Soldier or Airmen is on SAD, they receive a check from the state comptroller, usually a physical check mailed to their home of residence. The pay is usually less than the normal Army payscale, and the duty does not qualify them for retirement benefits or the GI Bill, or a host of other benefits and bonuses that come from being activated under Title 32 or Title 10. Most of the National Guard troops on the border are there under Title 10, or Active Duty orders. The Texas National Guard has also been put on the border under SAD, and this is the reason they are carrying firearms as opposed to the Title 10 Soldiers who are not authorized weapons. The SAD status is also having a very negative effect on the Texas NG troops. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/01/13/texas-denying-most-guard-troops-border-chance-help-families-suffering-hardships-home.html military.com posted:A member of the Texas National Guard who is deployed to the state's border security mission was recently sitting in his bed, ... when the worry welled up. The capper to me is the 36th ID General who says things are fine, actually. military.com posted:Maj. Gen. Charles Aris, the commander of the 36th Infantry Division, which oversees most units on the border mission, told Military.com that hardship requests are decided by a board of senior leaders. Like any mission, he said, soldiers can be rudely interrupted from their civilian lives, and some of that is part of the sacrifices service members must make.

The best things Ukraine and the West can do right now, whatever Putin's ultimate intentions, are shore up ties, bolster defences, and root out the pawns of Russian imperialism who wield a disturbing amount of power in NATO-aligned states. All valuable in the long run no matter how the next few months unfold.
