  1. The SCOTUS conservatives are as radical as everyone feared. Believe it.

  2.  @richlopez5896  They certainly don't have the numbers to occupy all of Ukraine even if they win militarily.

  3.  M W  I was responding to the news team, not commenters, who hyped the story to the extent they made it seem the rattlesnake was stalking the child.

  4. The Trump trolls are thick as a flies on here. Somebody get a bug zapper. I want these fools electra-fried.

  5. I completely agree. It doesn't matter what Chris Rock said, what Will Smith did in front of millions of people fully meets the legal criteria for assault and battery. The LA district attorney is essentially saying it's ok to break the law if you are a star. A simple apology is not enough.

  6. If Russia tells you the sun is shining, you can bet it's cloudy. Effing liars.

  7. Alito is a fool. Throwing the decision to legislatures is going to turn this issue from a brush fire into a nuclear bomb. It will only further polarize a dangerously divided nation.

  8. @Teney Most buildings don't collapse like they do in controlled demolitions from the effects of bombs and artillery shells. And the substructures often survive intact. Really tall buildings excepted.

  9. White evangelical's support of anti-abortion just assured their proportion in the general population will shrink even faster with all the Latino and African American babies that will be born.

  10. Assuming Dr. Whalen is correct, I hope this behavior runs it's course before a boat owner with a rifle changes the rules of the game.

  11. Zalensky is Ukrainian for 'head in the sand'.

  12. The 'long-term impacts' better be the free world is wide awake to the serious and ongoing threat posed by Russia...worse the threat posed by an allied Russia and China.

  13.  Truth Be Told  Unless the Russians switch to chemical weapons, there is always hard fighting to clear and take ground, even after the use of artillery. Military history is full of such examples.

  14. The Robert's compromise was the best solution for not making this whole thing worse. Set the limit at 15 weeks nationwide (end of first trimester). The pro-choice movement would not be happy, but they could live with it. But the 5 rightwing radical justices just can't resist swinging for the fences, so they will burn the whole thing down. And America with it.

  15. "We don't want war." Just a peaceful invasion and annexation thank you.

  16. Sad only in the fact it has taken this long to bring your sorry ass to justice. Go Jack Smith!

  19. A terrible mistake to be sure. But for all the whining aholes badmouthing our military. Tell when ISIS, the Taliban or the Haqqani group has ever taken responsibility and apologized for killing innocent civilians? Let me save you the trouble...NEVER.

  20. You would think the Ukrainian populace would have started preparing years ago.

  21.  @FJ-rh6io  The US or NATO getting involved when mean WWIII.

  22.  @silverwolf6866  That was done to keep security of those weapons. If not they could have ended up in the hands of terrorists. And I agree we did not keep our word. But later we tried our best to keep Russia from attacking short of direct military involvement which could cause WWIII. And my hate is my concern. Now piss off.

  23.  @silverwolf6866  Boy you are one pretentious bastard. Allow me to school you junior. Ukraine in the 1990's and 2000's had a series of corrupt governments, which did not have the kind of security to properly look after those nucs. The reason they were not made NATO members is that all nations of the alliance have to vote them in, and for a variety of reasons that didn't happen. Ok. Got it Cabron. Later...much.

  24.  @phillipsandcastle8387  Well said. Unfortunately replying to these idiots, whether organic or inorganic, is a waste of your time. I just hit thumbs down and move on.

  25.  @sergueimikhail9654  I would say the Russians lack soul, but I forget they sold them all to the devil.

  26.  @chaitanyasingh8178  The diplomats tried and tried, and Putin wouldn't listen. Maybe India or even more so China could have convinced Putin not to do this.

  27.  @deplorablefederalist7908  NATO entering the fight would mean World War III nom nuts.

  28.  @Viviko  I know what you mean. All I can do right now is communicate my admiration for how they are fighting on videos like this. It's not much of anything really. If you find a reputable funding site let me know. Cheers.

  29. Biden is a weak leader? Trump was Putin's bitch. He would have rubber-stamped anything Putin wanted.

  30.  T Free  I think thats what I said.

  31.  @tonycolvin7456  What? I was not disagreeing with you about the futility of nation building in place like Afghanistan or your service. I do believe had we been a little more on the ball, we could have pulled out sooner with less humiliation. Thsts all.

  32.  @alisaserrano6571  I am sorry when a nation fails to achieve it’s goals in war—it lost. Period.

  33.  @alisaserrano6571  Look I agree the Afghan government and army lost their conflict with Taliban. But since we did so much to back the government and the army it is our failure also. Believe me I wish it was not the case.

  34. If Russia does invade--we are back in a Cold War. Possibly a very hot Cold War. We are probably there already.

  35.  @isaacinkout1750  I'm sorry for assuming you were a Trump supporter (although it's usually a safe bet). So let me ask you what exactly would you want a strong President to be doing right now? Maybe threatening Putin with a military response? Or conversely maybe forfeit our leadership, and tell Russia to do what they like, because Ukraine is no concern of ours? I have not agreed with everything Biden has done, but he is the President of my country at the moment. So instead of tearing him down, I send him and his team my best wishes to see us through this crisis.

  36.  @isaacinkout1750  You didn't answer my question: what would you like to see a 'strong' President doing in this circumstance? And I will take a doddering, democracy-defending Biden over an authoritarian strongman President in every and all circumstances. Because I am an American, I don't need big, bad daddy to fix all my problems.

  37.  @isaacinkout1750  Well I don't agree with you, but we are all free to speak our minds in America. Good day.

  38. The Russians running on empty and making threats. Pathetic.

  39. I really have very little sympathy for the the family, except Jackson. Mr. Raffitt broke the law. But the wife and the girls think their husband/father is not subject to the law. Wrong.

  41.  @Adabeauvoir111  Just to be clear Putin is no Julius Caesar in my book. His faults are definitely not in the stars.

  42.  @GobleGoble32  Why?

  43.  @Don2006  Oh but they do. And Biden better not give them anything.

  44.  @Mardikuz  No thats not me being negative. Now if I were to tell you to piss off clown. That would be negative (and appropriate).
