groan... that is just being willingly blind to what is happening in congress and Trump's influence.  Russian advances over recent weeks can be directly ascribed to Trump's election campaign IMO. That is no great stretch of the imagination. Moreover, I know you know this too - because Twitter.

You are right, Europe is ramping up arms production, it is true, but far too little and far too late. Definite shades of 1939. 

I can understand the feeling.  Pay more attention to the OSINT reporting on the conflict.  Russia is pulling back into service tanks from WW2 !  They took delivery of weapons with a high defect rate from NK & Iran. Meanwhile, Ukraine innovates with the weaponry they're provided, surprising the USA and EU.  Ukraine is successfully responding with innovation faster than Russia can adapt.  The Ukrainian mil leaders are very effectively operating inside the Russian OODA loop.  The only thing Russia has going for it is the meatwaves they throw at the Ukrainians.  NATO is reinvigorated and finding new relevance now.  Yet, if Russia ever arrived at the doorstep of a NATO country with its current capabilities after brutalizing Ukraine,  it would be beaten and crushed flat in days, if not hours.   Because if NATO failed to do that, then NATO immediately ceases to be relevant and/or exist.

Much is on the line.  And we're here largely because 'weak men create hard times'.

Son, just because you look like a clown doesn't mean you have to act like one or support one politically. 

I'll take your word that my intellect is superior to yours, but that's a pretty low bar.

Katie Britt's getting panned pretty heavily on Twitter. You said the was worse than Marco Rubio, Steeler. Someone else brought up Bobby Jindall. I didn't watch Britt when she aired but the clips on Twitter veer between cringey and LOL. 

Gosh, Beaker, sorry you don't like Joe standing up to Putin. Maybe you prefer watching Trump blow Putin. As for the Dobbs decision, it's hard to understand how striking down Roe was upholding the Constitution after Roe stood for 50 years. But if you trust SC justices who openly lied about upholding Roe during their confirmation hearings and who are doing their level best to block Trump's trial for January 6, well that doesn't say much about you.

Katie Britt is telegenic but wow she laid on the batted-eye "empathy" with a trowel. Rachel Maddo noted that Britt was involved in the negotiations on the Senate's immigration bill but voted against it when Trump called for its rejection.

Mike Johnson is gonna be fired so fast for visibly, repeatedly, nodding in assent (it's clear - I watched it happen repeatedly, nonplussed) at many things that the President asserted. So different from the old stone-faced Republicans who would sit there daydreaming about which human right they'd try to remove next.

The folks who were disrespectful and shouted interruptions at him got smacked down rather well. Doesn't mesh with their doddering old man contention, so they better rethink that. He was loaded for bear - when extemporizing.

And Britt, like I said: the Republican rebuttal was taken straight from NextDoor, given by a high school junior fresh from "acting" class, complete with crocodile tears, a fake kitchen backdrop, repeated reminders that she's a mother, y'all, plenty of Southern grit when the script called for it, and heartbreaking "empathy" as she tells her tired old anecdotes. 
It was so juvenile and simplistic that it takes the prize for "worst showing" from Little Marco.

Yes. Outstanding speech delivered with lots of fire and passion. So let's stop all the babbling about Joe losing it. Trump could never pull off anything similar. The contrast between the characters of the two men really stood out tonight. 

Trumpers, btw, asked for more time to pay the $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll. Judge Kaplan denied that request. Apparently Trump is asking Elon Musk for financial help because he can't secure a bond to meet the payment to Carroll and the one to New York. What a billionaire. 

Katie Britt is telegenic but wow she laid on the batted-eye "empathy" with a trowel. Rachel Maddo noted that Britt was involved in the negotiations on the Senate's immigration bill but voted against it when Trump called for its rejection.

This, I will agree with you on.  Which comms idiot thought that putting a young, female Senator in a kitchen was a good idea?  Utter fools.  Totally own goal. Firings should be first thing in the morning.

And the breathy emoting Republican response from Senator Katie Britt, in her kitchen ...?!  ... holy Home Shopping Channel demo reel tryout.  How did they let that happen?
