lol why are you upset at Tracey: it's far more common for people in the contrarian milieu to give Republicans the time of day as they take them at their word that they're "anti-war"

like Glenn Greenwald

so it's a net improvement that someone in his circles is going "hey these people don't actually mean that, don't fall for it"

I sometimes turn down sex and blowjobs from my girlfriend because I'm too busy posting in D&D. PS: She used my credit card to pay for this.
The GOP is more responsive to its constituents, so if the base is there, that's where McCarthy is going to be.

I do ultimately agree with everyone and think the most likely outcome is they beat the democratic party about the head on shoulders with *anything* and *everything* "must-fund" for the next 2 years though, including this and the debt ceiling.

mainly because his evidence is "one dude from the supposed opposition said 'no blank checks'" too.

Tracey has been largely correct with his takes lately, but they're still like 80% boring low energy stuff that isn't worth reposting, for example

https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1589627791871737856

if he could be less of a low energy dweeb he might eventually evolve into something more powerful. I think Maxine needs to brain him again

tracey's issue is he is a braindead moron. he genuinely cannot fully grasp the american political landscape and thus has ended up in this strange nether realm wherein he is ostensibly left of the GOP but right of many dems because of his resistance to what he sees as "woke" culture.

he is the worst kind of centrist that thinks being mocked by multiple groups means he is right.

that said on ukraine he is mostly been right, not by any logical leaps he made himself

Turkey has started paying for some of its natural gas from Russia in rubles, Turkish Energy Minister Fatih Donmez said on Tuesday.

In an interview with broadcaster TRT Haber, Donmez said that in the coming months the share of local currency payments in energy trade with Russia would increase.

there's an entire ecosystem of milsim poisoned airsoft warriors on youtube reviewing MRE's from around the world and they all seem to greatly enjoy the russian ones. admittedly, the ruskies are still years behind uncle sam when it comes to brutally sadistic and inventively homosexual hazing rituals but they're catching up fast

It's tough to weigh one against the other. On the one hand, al-Saqr doesn't have a girlfriend whose beauty has been praised effusively by Glem. On the other hand, I don't think al-Saqr would be taken down by a single crosscheck from Maxine Waters like Michael was.

Watching those videos from that YouTube werido, the Russian rations looked more appealing to me than the Ukrianian one. I sent the Ukrianian ration video to my Ukrianian friend and he noticed the tea included in it were imported from Russia, he also suggested that the Russian rations are heaiver on beef becuase theres a lot of Muslims in the Russian army
