    Tell Mexico they can have Texas back - but only if they take all Texas GOP officials with it.

    The only thing worse than lying politicos are the voters who reward them for it instead of holding them accountable.

    I did hear a great idea. Someone like Biden or Boris Johnson should go the Ukraine on an extended fact-finding mission. Inform the Russians that they will NOT be sharing their travel plans and if anything happens to them...well, even Putler should be able to figure that one out.

    I'm really starting to wonder if Putin is trying to bait NATO into a war.

    He's only using mostly his conscripts and crappy old tech.

    He isn't using their best air power.

    None of it makes sense.

    All the military aircraft we have given to other countries, it seems we could spare a few for Ukraine!

    There are parallels. But there are also differences - the drone strike in Kabul was to try to protect an evacuation. The bombing in Kyiv was part of an offensive strike.

    Would even Putin risk the assassination of the leader of the US or UK? If there is one shred of sanity left in the Russian government, they would have to agree to a cease-fire.

    He's trying to lose the war, in hopes that the US helps rebuild Russia afterwards the way we did Japan and Germany.

    Sticking our President inside Ukraine sounds literally insane. Like Putin insane. “Hey we were at war and taking over a country, you saw us bombing and sent in your president. Your fault”

    I've been following him since his Pick Up Artist days. He shifts his worldview every few years. Always interesting though

    Funny story. Some toolbag that my sister was dating gave me the book that sparked the whole Pick Up Artist thing. I think it was called The Game or something like that. I read it because it was interesting. Total joke. I have no idea how those guys could ever be taken seriously.

    Yeah, that book was a classic. A few of my friends got into it, not hard-core but they were trying to peacock in vegas, wearing mascara and shit. We got a table at PURE nightclub and everyone thought we were a Filipino rock group or some shit with the outfits they were wearing. I used to see the "bootcamps" at bars around LA where they would teach nerds how to talk to girls. I mean, it helped them get out of their shell, but the whole thing was a bit weird.

    Occasionally I'll see comments on his videos critical of stuff he wrote on a pick up artist forum years go.
