And you even edited it for good measure.

Well that took a tragic turn.

*reads Ginguy’s post* … So the sanctions must be working for Ginguy to word vomit all over himself about how the ruble is going to be stronger than ever.

It isn't. It's a show hosted by (almost exclusively) comedians, and that obscures the fact the rules are different for a host than a comedian doing his set. Every joke has to be approved, which the GI Jane one was not ( it was ad libbed). The Academy knows that comedians will go off script, but that doesn't mean they give them cover to do so. Anyawy, my point isn't to say Will had any right to confront Chris (let alone slap him); it's just to say Chris shouldn't be protected from offense at ill conceived jokes.

Yes, but those times he was the host. I can't recall the last time I saw the award presenter make a joke about someone who wasn't a nominee for that award. Hosting is a different thing entirely.

But in all seriousness… that was the Academy Awards, not a comedy special. Chris Rock has been treated with kid gloves because he was physically assaulted, but he wasn’t there to entertain - he was there to give a fucking award. If will had simply heckled his worthless ass instead of striking him we wouldn’t have anything to talk about.

So what you’re saying is…. If a comic disses my man’s hair, I better taze the mother fucker after I clock him so he doesn’t pop me back?

I get that.

They needed additional leverage in their negotiations. A false flag on a civilian target presents far more risk than it offers reward. At best, a helicopter attack on a military supply chain target that most likely didn't even affect operations is enough to justify assessments of any threat the Ukrainian military presents to the Russia itself.

It does when your soldiers are clueless conscripts that are worth little more than cannon fodder and you can just use the false flag attack to fire more long range missiles form the safety of your own soil.

Who taught the Ukranians the n-word?

I didn’t say you had a meltdown with that last post. You definitely went nuclear with that Nazi thing, but we’re just discussing whether or not you got permanent canned, which, clearly you have not. Anyway Happy Birthday, homey.

Or just post a naked anime chick. I know, like fishing with dynamite but still.

Just a thought: 1. Keep ruple right about the same price as a shiny US Penny by beating unpatriotic citizens. 2. Demand all payments in shiny US Pennies and collect trillions of much unloved and unappreciated coins otherwise doomed to being pressed into asphalt by big disgusting dirty US pickup trucks. 3. Smelt all those grateful US Pennies for benfit of Mother Russia! 4.??? 5. Show up at the local recycling center, save planet and country, and ..... PROFIT!!! .... I could be a Russian finance minister.

I thought you meant he had a recent meltdown. Yeah, he did. It looks a posted one word response in TOG's thread three weeks ago and before that at almost a year gap.

Perma'd? For what?

Resorting to tactics like demanding rubles in payments in breach of contracts, freezing foreign assets and doubling interest rates aren't the mark of "competence" as much as the mark of sheer desperation... not that any finance minister would be able to do anything in the face of such severe economic embargoes.

1. It won't poison you. (It's basically the same oil extract as what's in peppermint.) 2. I've never heard it used here by anyone. Might be regional, but idioms that are regional usually have a cultural component. 3. I think you should trademark Vicksass.

I mean, it is highbrow by our standards, but....

Maybe.

That's the problem you have with her?

Bro. Broooooooooo. All they need was Jay Leno to compete that group.

That look, man. Now we know why daddy left.

I'm actually more disappointed that Ricky Gervais is doing it. The guy has a decent reputation despite his biting humor... this just blows it up. It's like Sorce said, now we all get to see all those holier than thou white dudes show their assess.

And she even conveniently has alopecia just so we all know she knows what she's talking about.
