Well, here's the thing...

Then again it may be true that every house he visited had Trump shit all over it because every house he visited had Trump shit all over it.

If you haven't seen the alerts on TEMU.com yet, caveat emptor.

What if it's a dog that looks like James Arness?

He claimed that every house he visited had Trump crap all over it.  When he lies, he tends to lie big, as no doubt comes naturally to the least racist person ever and the most innocent defendant ever.

While this is probably some weird sort of positive self-talk among conservatives and nothing serious or substantial...maybe double the police force near Congress and the White House just in case.

Ukraine hit a Russian airbase in Crimea

They reportedly hit ammo stored at the airbase, which caused a series of explosions.

Russia raises its interest rates to 18%

Quote"Inflation has accelerated and is developing significantly above the Bank of Russia's April forecast," the press service of Russia's Central Bank said in a statement.

"Growth in domestic demand is still outstripping the capabilities to expand the supply of goods and services," the statement continued. "Labour shortages continue to grow."

Data from Russia's Federal Statistics Service shows that the country has faced six months in a row of growing prices that particularly impact the cost of fuel and food. On average, vegetables cost around 19% more than in June 2023.

I'm no economist, but I don't think that's a good thing.  Russia's "overheating" economy appears to be getting hotter and hotter.

In Russia, Putin lackey Peskov spoke to an audience to tell them to have more kids (for what purpose?).  During his speech, he said "In Russia, there are fewer and fewer of us every year".  (Oh?  How did this happen and who's to blame for it?)

So I figured out why the Russian gov forbid its soldiers from having phones.



Russian howitzer with its own cope cage and ERA on the back.

I feel the need to explain that ERA works by exploding outwards so that the impact of the incoming round is less severe.  You can't just put ERA anywhere.  Putting something that explodes and an explosive very close together is not a good combination.  On a good day, it only warps the gun and doesn't kill the whole crew.  On a bad day...  This not only defeats the purpose (protecting the gun), but needlessly endangers everyone nearby.

edit - in a picture from a different angle, it's clear that they welded some ERA onto the barrel, which likely slightly damaged the barrel even if the ERA never explodes

"They're not as bad as the Muslims, I guess."

"They won't murder you for painting their main prophet. Probably."

"If their kid turns out to be gay, they'll kick them out of the house instead of stoning them to death."

Yeah, this argument isn't as stellar as OP presents.

If you're over there and see a dog, don't let it inside.
