I mean, going to bat for Putin is really stupid.
Is it going to bat for Putin to point out there is no vital American interest at stake in Ukraine? And that it’s not at all clear why we should be trying to gin up a proxy war in Russia’s backyard?

The part about the stupidest timeline = starting WW3 over something this dumb, firing our ICBMs at each other and them not working and just crashing into someone’s house made me lol.
but on the plus side, the Republicans won’t win the midterms if we’re all dead.

also I’d guess there’s a non-zero possibility that russia’s nukes are poorly maintained enough that many/most of them aren’t functional and we only lose a city or two.
There’s a decent-sized Ukrainian and Russian expat community in the CR. So there’s definitely chatter about what’s going down here.
Not much our tiny country can do other than support NATO with our tiny military.
As for proxy wars, America and Russia love those wars more than actual ones.
The Russians will nuke the coastal cities and America will be 100% deplorables roaming the midwest in pickups like the ISIS wannabes they are.

strict scrutiny also good
uhh to prevent territorial war in europe?
Counterforce strike should be bad news for deplorables. All the missile bases and sac bases are in red states. San Diego, Charleston, Norfolk, Augusta are all republican Navy towns.
Something to root for I suppose, hopefully it doesn’t escalate to a general nuclear war.
no fucking way I’m listening to an hour of this shitnozzle, but in a shocking development, Ross Douchehat “isn’t worried” about the GOP threat to democracy
oh and equally shocking developments from shitlibs,
I actually listened to this one up to the point where Pfeiffer was basically “none of this would be a problem if Obama were in charge and me and the gang were back”
The dudes who used to do the Story Break podcast have a D&D podcast called Dungeons & Daddies that I’ve been binging. Good if you liked Story Break or general funny nerd stuff.
Let’s see if this is any good.
The 5-4 episode on the 9th amendment made me realize how well embedded the conservative project is where “if you want that right you need to pass an amendment” is firmly embedded as the only way that rights can be added in America

This is a uniquely American thing too. The idea the constitution names all possible rights doesn’t exist in any other country. Nearly every other constitution assumes it’s simply a framework that accepts many rights are not explicitly listed and that most rights can’t be explicitly protected by law but are assumed nonetheless. The US assumes If specific laws or government can’t provide the right it doesn’t exist. This is the dumbest way possible to create a constitution.
That’s not actually how the Constitution works works, though! It says so explicitly in the 10th Amendment.
