Republicans are pretty late to the party but Putin has been a strongly admired figure in the far right for a long time. Many a European populist has made a pilgrimage to the Kremlin. They all admire him and they all want to lead like he does.

Hey, I can help you understand.
It's very simple.
Whatever symbols a certain segment of Republican get ahold of, they will define it on their terms, not anyone else's.
BLM isn't about arresting Black People responsibly. It's anti-America according to the Right. It's attacking the Police. It's nothing what people who actually believe in the movement say it is.
A regular knuck between husband and wife is called "The Terrorist Fist Jab".
It's very related because my entire life, a certain segment of Republicans have been defining anything that isn't theirs or something "other" in the worst possible light.
The flag is of the Soviet Union. As I said before, it is much a part of Russia's past as the confederate flag is apart of my past as an American Citizen, even if I never flown it. So, forgive me if I have issues believing the Party of redefining things they don't agree with will take this one thing and treat it with the proper definition it deserves. That doesn't seem on Brand.
Especially when Crap like this is a thing.
Resurfaced photo shows Biden press sec Jen Psaki wearing hammer and sickle hat with Russian official
Jen Psaki, who was named to serve as President-elect Biden's White House press secretary, is facing fresh scrutiny over a photo that shows her wearing a Russian hat that bears the communist hammer-and-sickle logo.

If you want to play tit-for-tat with them, go ahead. Just don't be surprised that people don't understand the joke you're making. On it's face they're being consistent (as consistent as they can be at least) and it looks from the outside like you're the one who's redefining things.Hey, I can help you understand.

Biden, you done fucked up, you should have not supported the Tigrayans who are the minority in Ethiopia's new conflict.
Your expertise on the Ethiopian conflicts comes from what, exactly? How do you know which side is the correct one to support? I'm not saying Biden has made the correct decision, but choosing to say that he's "done fucked up" seems equally as misguided when completely uninformed.
Also, that article is as wishy washy in reaching a conclusion on whether this actually affected the governor election as it's possible to be. The single most obvious quotes being:
Finally, how does this have anything to do with the thread's topic? You know these aren't your personal blog, right? Make new threads if you want to discuss random issues.
I have an inherent distrust of anything named WacoWhen you have something like this, look to local entities for what's actually going on:
Bill Whitaker: Criticism of McLennan County vote centers neglects many variables, advantages
By now, so-called “vote centers” have garnered plenty of praise for the ease they allow the time-pressed voter juggling work and family obligations come Election Day. However, since the well-publicized,wacotrib.com
A left-leaning, questionably factual, British publication found a way to make statistics on Texas voting look bad. You gotta do better.
I adore that your main rebuttal to this argument is an opinion piece about how this might work out better in the long run that also acknowledges the GOP trying to shred the minority vote in past elections. Fucking brilliant dude.When you have something like this, look to local entities for what's actually going on:

That's the same election where you're crying about cheating because they sent a vote-by-mail ballot to every registered voter, right?You mean Texas made a county close outdoor, drive-through polls that violated state law as written, because polling places are defined as "buildings"? Would you prefer to leave them open and then have everyone's votes thrown out when someone successfully sues afterwards? Ok.
Like, your articles are left wing nonsense. "Hey look, Texas closed a bunch of polling places." They're also expanding early voting and implementing countywide election programs where people can vote at any precinct in their county. It wouldn't make sense to leave them all in place exactly the same.
Hey, hey, look at this:
Fact check: California offers fewer polling places but more time to vote in person
A new law closes precincts in favor of polling places open to any county voter. A claim saying this is to limit in-person voting includes falsehoods.www.usatoday.com
California shut down a ton of polling places! They must be trying to... reallocate resources and allow counties to operate fewer spaces for longer hours. But boy, would it be easy for me to chop out the context and pretend it's voter suppression.
I have a BA political science degree with a specialization in international relations. I had a professor tell me that refugees dissidents that come to the US tend to be sensitive to foreign policy actions involving their country, oftentimes they want the US to bomb their governments, but for supporters of a government, they want you to either stay out or support it.
I also was taught by a professor who used to do statistic surveys of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, attended a lecture where a visiting professor who was interviewed on Vox discussed how coups start.
Now, where is your degree in IR?
Oh, and the university is OSU.
Edit: Oh as to how it relates to this topic, Biden does something that gets a republican elected. You know the anti-woke people.
If you're saying because it sounds like the Waco where the siege happened, that's cause it is the Waco where that happened.
You are welcome to appreciate that I gave a source that took on multiple perspectives and provided primary source experience. That is a good thing that I like to do, rather than spam shameless propaganda that suits my worldview. Take notes, try it next time.
I don't believe I have ever complained about that here. I don't like the idea of sending out vote-by-mail ballots to every registered voter, because the registered addresses are frequently outdated, and any attempt to clear out the people who have moved away is treated as Jim Crow, but I'm perfectly comfortable with the idea of sending them to anyone who asks for one.
The cheating I complain about is that they closed polling places convenient for elderly (read Republican) voters while opening de facto early voting only in the bluest part of my state, making it so largely Democratic populations had weeks to vote in person while a largely Republican demographic was being ordered not to even leave their home.
But tstorm, I thought closing convenient polling places wasn't biased?
These are fine groundings for an opinion but what else have you got to go with the degree? Did you serve in any meaningful way and for any meaningful length of time in the State Department as a policy writer? Any service in the Diplomatic Corps? Been hired as an expert in African affairs by a major publication and spent time in country?
I ask these questions because in so much as you disagree with President Biden’s decision - and do so from a far more educated position than I - I don’t think you were getting the same briefings and level of information that the Oval Office was.
That is true I don't have access to classified briefings I mainly read articles on the War on the Rocks, New York Times, WaPo, WSJ, and the Atlantic, and sometimes Jacobin articles along with reading journal articles, and watching Caspian Report. But I went to an online lecture with a Q & A session with a professor who I won't name who studies presidents, and goes to their presidential libraries, and knows the staff there. She pegs him as a realist. Realists generally act pragmatically. I just find it odd the president would on one hand avoid better ties with Cuba over Floridian Cubans, but on the other hand, would go out of their way to antagonize Ethiopia over something as unimportant as Iranian drones among Turkish, and UAE drones sent to fight their civil war, and it back-firing to the Dems losing the governors race in Virginia.
Even if you ignore the domestic ramifications, the Ethiopian government had the upper hand, and this has created blowback, now many people across the African continent think the US wants to coup with their democratic governments if they offend Washington.
Also, I can see the effects of foreign policy actions, and while I don't have perfect information, I can have an opinion.
I reserve judgement until I see how my Raytheon shares are doing.
*looks back at the latter half of the 20th century*
Can't imagine where they'd get that idea from.
Lockheed Martin is generally the best defense stock, also unless you invested like during the start of the Iraq War with defense stocks, it's mainly Silicon valley stocks that are profitable all of the time.
Of course it can be, but "they closed polling places" is insufficient information without knowing what was done to replace them. My point was never than any articular practice is universally acceptable or problematic, my point is that you need the full picture, and spewing out one statistic is never the full picture.
What on earth is the relevance of that? A source which I didn't refer to at all, is questionable. And therefore... what? Who gives a toss? It has no bearing whatsoever on what I said.When you have something like this, look to local entities for what's actually going on:

The ability to vote at any voting centre does not compensate, if voters still need to travel significantly further to get to any. If their closest has closed, it is obviously materially more difficult.
