Too bad we can't scan him for CTE. That's the only way being an American hanging out with drunk & high russian mobiks near the front sounds like a good idea.

The last time Texas was remotely close to a "two party state", it was 1990.

The anti-Cruz ads also showcase him jumping on a plane and fleeing Texas during the power outage. About time these ran around the clock.

Finally getting political ads here in Houston, the signal it was a real contest going down. Ted Cruz ads beat the same drum, Colin Allred thinks you are racist. The Allred ads are all about abortion and marshalling support from women. Send in Tay-tay to rally for him and it's a wrap.

Funny, funnier that idiots would newsworthy it without taking a moment to consider the implication that a physical disabilities is enough to strip you of constitutional rights.

Zero Tolerance policies have always been misguided.

What happened to the Palestinians that did not consider Hamas to be liberators and freedom fighters?
Rhetorical question of course, they were murdered by IDF.

Sort of. Not black & white right? If the clans wanted Hamas to be gone, Hamas would be gone.

The Vietnamese considered the Vietcong to be liberators and freedom fighters.

Damn I actually wish North Korea would do something interesting just to see what propaganda the effete account brings to the table.

Putin has created so many jobs in Texas, Arkansas, and California that it is staggering.

I disagree, total war is throwing nukes around, and I would expect if Israel was about to be wiped out, they would send them, as I would expect any nation that has them.

You're disagreeing, then describing a situation with political constraints that make it impossible.

The only civilization in history to achieve anything like total war were the mongols under ghengis. That makes it the exception, not the rule.

If you had read it, you would understand that Clausewitz died before completing his evolution to the indirect theory of warfare. You would also know that the lesson is Total War is not possible. War is constrained by politics.

In Total War it is.

You don't know what Total War means, it's going to be the teenage boy version of it.

Which means you have never read Clausewitz at length. Probably never even opened the book.

Bombing civilian centers still is not a war crime when done by the rules. Read the rules more carefully.

If you still own a pager and it didn't go off and you live in Lebanon... You still holding it? No. If you are too dumb, can't help you.

This guy actually packed up and went to Ukraine. Of course journalists would want to talk to him about it but if you're not there you don't know what's -------- or not until you yourself go to Ukraine and start talking to the people that deal with them.

If you encapsulate petn in a fake capacitor it will make it through airport security and fool the dogs.

Then your pager beeps for the message so you pick it up and then when you pick it up it blows your face off.

The people targeted were not combatants

As the resident fascist Russian cheerleader, you are the last person to go down this road.

How does one make a pager explode?

The same way you make a centrifuge explode. Add stuff at the factory level.

uh huh.

New low, going to bat for the Rapists of Nanking lol.

and blowing the --------- off of hundreds of people is a pretty good way to do that.

"Vows to punish"

It's a shaping operation designed to sideline Hezbollah middle management before a major attack.

That was their Only condition. 250,000 people were Nuked because the US couldn't let Japan have one small condition on their Humiliation.

Oh no the poor butchers of Asia didn't get any conditions! How turrible.

and racketeering. It seems they're going with RICO charges and he won't be the only one going down.
