The ghost of Linda Tripp called. She wants to know why John Goodman isn't dressing up in drag to make fun of whoever recorded these calls and why others aren't calling for them to be prosecuted.

Unless they can prove that he physically, directly told them to do it, they're probably better off claiming they were trying to impress Jodie Foster as their defense.

Aboriginal Americans had many tribes and nations. You can't just lump them all into one.

"Sentinel is basically Jenna Ellis with a smaller wiener."
"Says the asshat safely behind a monitor"

You people have very weird, vivid imaginations.
Thanks for thinking about my wiener. Flattered, I guess. Congrats on seeing Jenna's. It must be really huge, the way you described it.
No idea why anyone would think I'm behind a monitor. It would be really hard to see the screen if I was behind a monitor. I guess you didn't think that insult through. Womp womp.

"Does this look like desecration to anyone?"

Obviously not what they were referring to. They were talking about the crappy live performance they showed a clip of in the earlier tweet you linked to.

"I would say something so crass, demeaning and ignorant is indeed an example of an unjustified meltdown."

You can say whatever you want, doesn't make it true. Just like those who agree Ellis's petty insult might say Lizzo was "trolled" or "owned" by Jenna Ellis, which would be an equally stupid headline.

I'm going to need eyeball surgery as a result of all the eye rolling caused by these stupid, nonsensical headlines. Nobody melted down, just like person A did not "destroy" person B, just like X did not "break" the Internet as claimed. These headlines are not funny or clever.

"I wonder if all those Russians will start forming break-away Russia-speaking regions in the countries that are taking them in?"

That thought has crossed my mind, and has been echoed by people I know from countries neighboring Russia.

The Russians like to use Kosovo as a pretext for their hegemonic behavior. The recognition of Kosovo as an independent country does appear to be a contentious issue - the lists of countries of that recognize or do not recognize it are both long. But even most of the ones that do not recognize Kosovo do not support Russia's behavior and see that's interference outside of its internationally recognized borders has gone way beyond any parallels with Kosovo.

This is a point that needs to be reiterated in response to Russian propaganda.

For the rest of Russia and its de facto vassal states, the rest of Europe and 'the West' needs to focus on finding the right combination of carrots and sticks. They have to be willing to blockade Russia if it doesn't get back in its lane and stay there, make it clear what the preconditions are for lifting any blockades or sanctions, and what they're willing to offer to address any concerns or needs that they have.

If the Russian Federation wants to continue playing these stupid games that it started when it invaded Georgia in 2008, then others should start giving them an equal taste of their own medicine.

Personally, I'd like to see Vlad handed over to the surviving family members of flight MH-17.

"Once Putin is dead-after being thrown out a window, perhaps- "Russia" will likely make a peace with Ukraine that leaves the Donbas and Crimea to them."

I think you're being overly optimistic here. One of the few things that RussianTrollPoser is right about is that it's bigger than just Putin. It could either way with him taken out of the equation. Even if they reverse the official annexations, they could continue to passive aggressively support them as "independent" vassal states, like they do with Abkhazia and North Ossetia in Georgia.

"If anyone can point me to a work of rap that will leave me in awe, I'll listen to it."

Just like any genre, rap comes many different styles and themes. So it depends on which ones you are drawn to or turned off by.

I've always enjoyed groups like Black Eyed Peas and Wu Tang Clan because they put on energetic and engaging shows, and the former has musicians playing instruments on stage when they do live performances.

"Time for Russia to invade Russia to end NAZI's."

Nice try, but the apostrophe before the s gives it away.

FLAG: STUPID NAZI DUPE.

One thing I respect about the LegallyMyDead alias is that it doesn't appear to take itself seriously, unlike many of the other flaming *****ts on here.

"I think he appealed to the narcissists in our midst who think some pick dic they sent into the digital ethers should remain confidential and the NSA shouldn't have access to it... as if the NSA gives a flying feck."

Let me guess, are you one of those people who agree with the statement "people have nothing to worry about if they didn't do anything wrong"? It sure sounds like it.

As mentioned elsewhere, the program that Snowden uncovered was found by a court to be unlawful. Snowden knew that he would pay a price for whistleblowing, and he did.

"Never trust a Russian. Even Russians don't trust Russians." - Old Russian proverb

"Hey BOAZ, systemic racism exists and is a significant factor in nonwhite individuals' economic upward mobility."

When and where? In every single context all the time? Saying ______ exists without any qualifiers is a meaningless statement.

Claiming your book has been banned even when it wasn't seems like a good way to promote and sell it these days. That appears to be what's going on here.

Not a single thread can exist on the Retort without a at least a couple of monkeys bringing Trump into it.

Since we're on the subject already, can you imagine if the Snowden thing had happened on Trump's watch? Over 90% of the people here would flip flop their positions on him.

Schools in Udmurtia usually have good security, at least according to this video:

Oh no! Not Udmurtiya!

That is so sad. 😭

Ah, never mind. I misread the headline.
