    From a lifelong Dem

    Today's Trump platform is the moderate to liberal Democrat platform of the 1990's. I would be very happy if the neocons and progressives go far far away, like Canada........

    I’m starting it now

    Nah. The Democrat dude in '28 will be Ruben Gallegos from AZ. Young, but a combat veteran and recovered addict. Charismatic and a riser. He can be the throw away candidate. The Democrats need 2 cycles to figure out how they all screwed this one up and get rid of all things Obama. Then two...

    Storytime with BT: Russia is ***hoe too (Part 1)

    This story is similar to the treatment, or lack of coverage, of the rupture of the Nord Stream pipelines from RUS to western Europe last year. You hear occasional suggestions that the US did it, but there has been no real coverage. Its logical that the US might benefit from a more captive LPG...

    ⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️

    Do not laugh too hard. I make a living as an expert witness in real estate cases. In a recent case for a federal alphabet agency, I had to disclose my posting history on social media to make sure none of it was "prejudicial". Whaddya know, TI is social media.

    ⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️

    Not a black helicopter guy myself, but do not underestimate the amount of time and effort a defense attorney or the government will waste on stuff like kicking out a juror in a capital trial. It is entirely reasonable to expect forums like this to be read by someone with bad intentions.

    Fun hypothetical - how much to retire today?

    Your example is why I never plan to fully retire. I am scared of inertia and relevance. I own a small real estate related business, and its scalable within reason. I can see working at least 2-3 days a week for many years to come, if the Lord blesses me with continued health and wit enough to...

    Parent Upset With Shane Beamer

    Good to see USC is still (potentially) a coaching graveyard.

    Ukrainian gains in Kherson Oblast

    You sound like a fellow I could drink a few cold ones with to debate this issue. Stalin once said something to the effect that it didn't matter who voted or could vote. It only matters who counts the votes. Carried to its logical conclusion, that could explain how a nation of 340 million had...

    Ukrainian gains in Kherson Oblast

    The Russian folks deserve better for sure. Where is Peter the Great when you need him? A west viewing RUS would be a great outcome. But I still respectfully submit no one is thinking about the end game here-and based on the US/Western track record, we suck at it. Wishes and winging it is not...

    Ukrainian gains in Kherson Oblast

    I somewhat understand the Biden administrations desire to hammer the Russians, given they are the aggressor, and oh, BTW they have nukes and resources. This war has many similarities to the Finland campaign of '39. No one supported the Soviets then or now, and rightfully so. RUS is mainly a...

    Ukrainian gains in Kherson Oblast

    That’s a big freaking deal. The bridge loss severely compromises the resupply of RUS units. The Crimea is not overly defensible once you take the neck; ie Kherson.

    Ukraine has pushed to the Russian border.

    Russia made this attack without fully mobilizing most units. They were manned at peacetime levels (40-50% of required), so all they did was scoot enough folks from other units into one group usually called a BCT (battalion combat team). They used roughly 140 BCT's over the front initially, and...

    Ukraine has pushed to the Russian border.

    From what I read, Russian warmaking capacity is more limited that most folks understand. They never did a general mobilization, relied on mercs and lots of conscripts, and are now resorting to Chechens and other odd folks like the Wagner Group to lead offensives as the regular troops wont do it...

    Question for more liberal TI members

    The tax code is way broken. Its impossible to enforce, has too many gray areas, and relies solely on the good nature and fear of the payers. That's the basic problem. If you don't pay taxes, you don't care. Another helicopter drop of COVID money-sure, I don't care if I will never repay it...
