Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

How does someone keep a security clearance high enough to be a CIA Deputy Director when you have a child fighting in a foreign army?

I hate fascism so I join the Russian army

I hate having to watch mental gymnastics like that right before going to sleep. How dumb is you

Bro didn't like that Israel invaded Gaza, so he joined Russian army in their invasion of Ukraine to make it right 🤷‍♂️
