Putin holds the record for the human containing the most poo poo and horse semen (simultaneously). Easily stripping Kenneth Pinyan of the title, and finally bringing the trophy back to Russia.

Most, if not all, US states have 'sore loser' laws that prevent candidates from doing this. If you run in one party's primary and lose you can't run as an independent just to split their vote out of spite. RFK registered as a Democrat candidate on April 19 so he's locked in and can't run for president unless he wins the primary.

e: Apparently three states do not have such laws

Huh, didn't know that. Guess they're really going for it in which case lol, lmao

Not sure how leaking this when Ukraine has told people to be quiet about the counteroffensive plans.

If it's underway, it's kinda pointless to say "any day now... " and pretend it's not happening but just saying it's underway in no way defines what's going to happen, only what happened so far, or what's plainly obvious with satellite imagery/forward observations.

Going to clancy chat and draw a correlation between two events happening in the news lately:

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/kremlin-accuses-west-trying-sabotage-its-showcase-russia-africa-summit-2023-07-25/

A good number of African countries' leaders didn't attend Putin's little summit, which got Scheissmeister pissed.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-66320895

Now, just coincidentally there is coup attempt in Niger.

quote:

After the soldiers' TV announcement Mr Blinken called for the release of President Bazoum.

He told a news conference in New Zealand that "what it clearly constitutes is an effort to seize power by force and to disrupt the constitution".

In neighbouring Mali, heavily armed Russian Wagner mercenaries are helping the military regime to fight jihadist insurgents. Niger's unrest comes on top of existing Western anxiety about Wagner operations and the Sahel region's instability.

President Vladimir Putin, keen to expand Russian influence in Africa, is hosting African leaders in St Petersburg on Thursday.

The West African economic bloc Ecowas has said it "condemns in the strongest terms the attempt to seize power by force" in Niger.

I'm pretty sure this is Russia's fault worsening things in Africa right now.

Seems like there's lots of chatting going on of a drawdown or withdrawal or maybe rotation of Russian troops in September. Could be nothing but worth keeping an eye out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-gX2NbUnUQ

Not sure what that could mean exactly. A new mobilization? A decision to give up on the war? Something else?

It can only be an insidious Western imperialist plot, as African countries of course, like Eastern Europeans, have no agency and cannot decide for themselves that it is not worth touching the poop.

Also, the Niger coup tensions have been bubbling under for a while, it may be a factor in many regional leaders deciding not to attend, as they want to be nearby to manage the crisis.

i mean no joke that's why it's such a bizarre clip: 7 lovely arm bends while planking for less than 10 seconds should be so basic that if someone visibly struggles to the point of failure doing that it points to something being wrong, especially given his apparent level of muscularity. i guarantee you that even most out of shape goons could do that
