I am changing my mind about Russia after reading this amazingly brilliant article. Russia really is evil. Evil as fucking hell. Satanically evil. Cocksuckingly evil. President Biden was correct … we can NOT let Russia win in Ukraine! How could I have been so blind. And YOU also!
===========================
Decolonize Russia
The former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski once said that without Ukraine, Russia would cease to be an empire. It’s a pithy statement, but it’s not true. Even if Vladimir Putin fails to wrest back Ukraine, his country will remain a haphazard amalgamation of regions and nations with hugely varied histories, cultures, and languages. The Kremlin will continue ruling over colonial holdings in places including Chechnya, Tatarstan, Siberia, and the Arctic.
Russia’s history is one of almost ceaseless expansion and colonization, and Russia is the last European empire that has resisted even basic decolonization efforts, such as granting subject populations autonomy and a meaningful voice in choosing the country’s leaders. And as we’ve seen in Ukraine, Russia is willing to resort to war to reconquer regions it views as its rightful possessions.
During and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when the Russian empire hit its modern nadir, the United States refused to safeguard the newly won independence of multiple post-Soviet states, citing misplaced concerns about humiliating Moscow. Emboldened by the West’s reluctance, Moscow began to reclaim the lands it lost. Now Russia’s revanchism—aided by our inaction and broader ignorance of the history of Russian imperialism—has revived the possibility of nuclear conflict and instigated the worst security crisis the world has seen in decades. Once Ukraine staves off Russia’s attempt to recolonize it, the West must support full freedom for Russia’s imperial subjects.
The U.S. had an opportunity to unwind the Russian empire before. In September 1991, as the Soviet Union was falling apart, President George H. W. Bush convened his National Security Council. In the lead-up to the meeting, the White House seemed unsure how to handle the splintering superpower. Some of Bush’s closest advisers even called for trying to keep the Soviet Union together.
Defense Secretary Dick Cheney was not one of them. “We could get an authoritarian regime [in Russia] still,” he warned during the meeting. “I am concerned that a year or so from now, if it all goes sour, how we can answer that we did not do more.” His end goal was clear: as Deputy National Security Adviser Robert Gates later wrote, Cheney “wanted to see the dismantlement not only of the Soviet Union and the Russian empire but of Russia itself, so it could never again be a threat to the rest of the world.”
Bush demurred. Rather than accelerate the Soviet disintegration, he tried to avoid antagonizing Moscow, even as President Boris Yeltsin’s administration began pushing the anti-Ukrainian animus that Putin now embodies. For years—as Russia stabilized and eventually prospered, and as Cheney masterminded some of the most disastrous American foreign-policy decisions in recent decades—many believed that Bush had selected the better strategy. Armageddon, as one historian phrased it, was averted.
In 2022, as Putin tries to restore the Russian empire by littering corpses across Ukraine, Bush’s position appears myopic. He—and American policy makers after him—failed to see the end of the Soviet Union for what it was: not just a defeat for communism, but a defeat for colonialism. Rather than quash Russia’s imperial aspirations when they had the chance, Bush and his successors simply watched and hoped for the best. As Bush’s National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft later said about the Soviet collapse, “In the end, we took no position at all. We simply let things happen.”
We no longer have that luxury. The West must complete the project that began in 1991. It must seek to fully decolonize Russia.
Many of Russia’s former colonies, including places such as Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Armenia, succeeded in achieving and sustaining independence after the fall of the U.S.S.R. But only Ukraine’s independence has become an obsession for Putin. It’s not hard to see why. Stiff-arming Russia at every turn, Ukraine emerged as the biggest hurdle to the Kremlin’s efforts to reconsolidate its empire and undo the independence movements of the early 1990s.
Not every one of the Kremlin’s colonies was so successful in achieving independence in those years. Scores of nations—“autonomous republics” in Russian parlance—never escaped the Kremlin’s control. For many, the process of decolonization made it only halfway.
Chechnya, for instance, endured multiple horrific wars after declaring independence in the early ’90s. Yet when Chechen leadership turned to the West for aid, U.S. officials looked the other way. Many across the West remained blinded by the “saltwater fallacy,” which posits that colonies can be held only in distant, overseas territories. Instead of viewing places such as Chechnya as nations colonized by a dictatorship in Moscow, Western officials simply saw them as extensions of Russia proper. So rather than recognize the Chechens’ struggle as part of the global push toward decolonization, American President Bill Clinton compared them to the Confederacy and backed Yeltsin despite his brutality. Clinton’s position not only effectively sanctioned the horrors unleashed on innocent Chechens, but it showed Putin, then a rising bureaucrat, that Russian force would go unchallenged by the West. As former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar said, Western pressure could have prevented the violence in Chechnya. Analysts agree. Yet Washington twiddled its thumbs, and Grozny was flattened.
Chechnya’s story is one of many. Nation after nation—Karelia, Komi, Sakha, Bashkortostan, Chuvashia, Kalmykia, Udmurtia, and many more—claimed sovereignty as the Soviet empire crumbled around them. Even regions that had been colonized by the Kremlin for centuries pushed for independence. In a 1992 referendum in Tatarstan, nearly two-thirds of the population voted in favor of sovereignty, even though Soviet authorities had drawn the republic’s borders to exclude some 75 percent of the Tatar population. As election observers wrote, the republic was motivated by “years of pent-up resentment” against Russian colonialism, and saw “huge support” for the referendum in ethnically Tatar regions.
Instead of propping up these emergent nations, the U.S. prioritized stability. Washington feared that any volatility in the region might cause Russia’s nuclear and biological weapons to fall into the wrong hands. Administration after administration made the same mistake. In his “Chicken Kiev” speech, George H. W. Bush warned Ukrainian separatists against “suicidal nationalism” (which Ukrainian separatists promptly ignored). Bill Clinton kept up his buddies-and-belly-laughs relationship with Yeltsin while Russian forces slaughtered Chechens en masse. George W. Bush took a hands-off approach to the entrenchment of Putin’s regime, even as Russian forces steamrolled into Georgia. Barack Obama’s blinkered “reset” policy set the stage for Putin’s initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014. Donald Trump fawned over Putin and subordinated Ukraine’s interests to his pursuit of domestic political gain.
The result: Chechnya remains dominated by a Kremlin-appointed despot. Tatarstan saw any pretense of sovereignty snuffed out by Putin. On and on Moscow marched, reclaiming nations desperate to escape its embrace. In Ukraine, we see the same story. Moscow is unlikely to stop there.
Russia is not the only polyglot nation that has failed to address its legacy of colonization. China currently oversees the largest concentration-camp system the world has seen since the Holocaust, dedicated to eliminating Uyghurs as a distinct nation. And much of the U.S. still refuses to view its own history as one of rote imperial conquest, from the Founding Fathers seizing Indigenous lands to the ongoing colonial status of places such as Puerto Rico.
But it’s Russia—and, more specifically, Russian imperialism—that presents the most urgent threat to international security. Now the bill of allowing Moscow to retain its empire, without any reckoning with its colonial history, is coming due.
Decolonizing
Russia wouldn’t necessarily require fully dismantling it, as Cheney proposed. The push toward decolonization could instead focus on making the kind of democratic federalism promised in Russia’s constitution more than a hollow promise. This would mean ensuring that all Russian citizens, regardless of region, would finally be given a voice in choosing their leaders. Even simply acknowledging Russia’s colonial past—and present—would make some difference. “As much as decolonizing Russia is important for the territories it formerly occupied, reprocessing its history is also key for the survival of Russia within its current boundaries,” the scholars Botakoz Kassymbekova and Erica Marat recently wrote.
Until Moscow’s empire is toppled, though, the region—and the world—will not be safe. Nor will Russia. Europe will remain unstable, and Ukrainians and Russians and all of the colonized peoples forced to fight for the Kremlin will continue to die. “There is no way for Russia to move forward with Putin and there is no way for Russia to move forward without addressing its imperial past and present,” the analyst Anton Barbashin recently tweeted. “Give up empire and attempt to thrive or hold [on] to it and continue degrading.”
Russia has launched the greatest war the world has seen in decades, all in the service of empire. To avoid the risk of further wars and more senseless bloodshed, the Kremlin must lose what empire it still retains. The project of Russian decolonization must finally be finished.

Stucky, you are an idiot.
He’s just stirring shit….as usual…..
Didn’t even bother with article, life is too short to waste time on drivel…
I got to the third paragraph and read enough to know to skim the rest of the article. It this BS of an article is all it takes to change the stucks mind…well I won’t say anything more. I’m trying to be a better person.
I didn’t bother until the Anons started throwing turds at him. Then, I had to pick one or two up and toss them back.
He did it for me.
I think you’ve been trolled J.
Yup. Some fine bait there Stucky.
The joke is in the punchline (by line)
The punchline isn’t till the end: To stop war by Russia, we must anihilate Russia by going to (hot) war with Russia.
Brilliant!
There is no punchline. You need a joke for tbat and Suckie hasn’t had anything funny to bring to the show for years. He just clogs up the site.
HSF used to say (or was that LLPOH?) that the Stuckenheimer was the stirstick in Admin’s drink, but perhaps after all these years, he is also the Metamucil in the chaser.
😀
Now, act like a big dog and clean up your mess. Stucky isn’t trying to make you laugh; he is trying to make you think.
Try to keep your thinking to yourself. And drink the chaser in one gulp, then stay close to the toilet.
Thank you, Maggie. You understand me so well that I might pay you to be my therapist.
Hugs, girl
This guy is a true expert. He is also quite funny at times.
You should see the treehouse. Nick had a yard and a half of concrete delivered and built the forms for the room himself! underneath, having put in a drain system and a concrete barrier around the space where the utility room (10×10) will hold the furnace and the water heater, along with perhaps a small washer/dryer. We already have an offer of $150K but we are not willing to include ten acres, only 3 to 5, tops.
Having followed Andrei on ‘The Saker’ over the past months in order to make sense of the Ukie thing, I offer up a simple tip: He speaks too quickly and with that RUS accent–click on the ‘cc’ button for an easier listen. Unless of course, you’re one of those (his words!) “Evil Snow Niggers” who can follow right along.
The guy is right as rain.
He makes us think he is an idiot.
Has anyone considered that “Stucky” is “Admin’s” alter ego or vice versa?
The same person?
Hit’s on websites equal money. And pot stirring equals hits and more money.
QED
We live in clown world, so this is certainly possible.
Is possible theoretically, I suppose, but is not true. For those of us who’ve been around here since Methusaleh’s 50th birthday?
Not possible realistically.
It’s not even possible “theoretically”.
There were about 8 of us, including Hope@ZeroKelvin, who got together in NYC …. there might even be a picture of Admin and myself together.
Or, just ask HSF. He has met both Admin and myself in person.
It’s a nice theory though, being the Admin alter ego …. if only because I might be able to finagle a movie date with Avalon.
Haha YES! Or maybe his evil twin sister. Stucky does seem a tad sensitive and prone to tantrums. I normally skip his crap but saw how many comments there were and had to jump in. Jim, let her go. She’s a fuckin’ harpie spewin’ shit.
Just more of his sad, sad attempt at being the sideshow geek on this site.
He is the pathetic clown prince at TBP. His latest is just a new low and not worth anyone’s time.
Boo. You probably hated the ‘Three Stooges’, too.
LOL.
The western hypocrisy, it is epic.
Those who point and scream loudest about the other guys crimes, are usually attempting to distract you from their own crimes.
“Russia has launched the greatest war the world has seen in decades”
But the American wars of the last several decades, they were just peachy and not really wars, just “Liberation Adventures”. Right?
There is intelligent life here, but it is below the signal noise level.
The ELE comet cleansing is long overdue.
“We are going to spread democracy, if we have to blow everything up to do it.”
Was this written by the warhawks from the MIC?
Putin bad Ukraine good !!! We must stop anyone spreading mis, dis, or mal information that goes against what .Gov tells us. If Ukraine falls where are our politicians going to launder thier foreign aid money, and lets not forget about the M.I.C.
I wouldn’t put my name on that article either.
I just didn’t copy and paste it. It’s in the original article.
His name is Casey Michel — “About the author: Casey Michel is a writer based in New York. He is the author of American Kleptocracy: How the U.S. Created the World’s Greatest Money Laundering Scheme in History.”
Source: The Atlantic. … ‘nuff said.
The Atlantic‘s writers say what The Economist‘s writers are only thinking.
Remember that the official publications of the Deep State are: NY Times (FBI), Washington Post (CIA) and CNN (State Department). The NYT and WaPo recently published opinion pieces along the lines of what Kissinger recently said: Ukraine must acknowledge reality and make concessions to Russia.
Of course, it’s way too late for that. Russia gave them that chance in December. Now Russia is absorbing everything from Kharkov in an arc to (and including) Odessa and possibly even Transnistria (far eastern sliver of Moldova). Whatever is left of Ukraine will be landlocked.
Kissinger is reported to have once said “it can be dangerous to be America’s enemy. It can be fatal to be America’s friend.” As the Ukies are finding out.
Its from the “atlantic” disinfo rag…………..didnt bother reading.
Its written for low IQ democrats.
Redundant.
“…Its written for low IQ democrats….”
It’s written for high IQ readers of TBP.
FIFY.
Maybe we should conquer them and rename it “Aissur”, Russia in reverse. That should teach them. (Is this comment worthy of this post or what?)
if this article is brilliant, then i am closing this tab for good. i am glad that i never contributed to this website. what a fucking moron. we can replace russian imperialism for american imperialism to be led by such virtuous stalwarts of decency as bush1, bush2, brezinski, kissinger, cheney, rumsfeld. and it does nothing to address the strategic envelopment of russia. and yes we can support jewfuck zelensky’s bombing of eastern ukraine to dismantle the russian empire which has existed for centuries, surviving the onslaughts of napoleon, hitler, and khan. but the west will win this time because the jews are determined to wipe out russia. fuck you too.
Scroll to the end of the article and consider the source–Stucky’s funnin’ with you…
He needs a new hobby.
Take a moment to engage some brain cells…
Its a Stucky reposted article apparently from the Atlantic rag. Mentions cheney and bush, neoCON warmongers and how great american imperialism is the future. Something ol Stuck ain’t a fan of…
Not to overload you but the tell was in the very first line…
If you seriously cannot see the overt sarcasm in this then perhaps you should close the tab and not open it again… The comments are usually a good indication too… just say’n and there are about 15 so far… mostly pointing this out…
100+ Mr. Brian
But it should be funny and tbe effort is soooo lame. Stop standing up for your idiot buddy. He wouldn’t know sarcasm if it crawled up his and bit his liver.
Do not encourage the idiot.
It was sarcasm worthy of a nine year old.
Ol’ Stucky, my ass.
Some posters are more equal than others, I guess, in the ol legacy group
Caio, tony
It always struck me as, if not ‘funny’ then ‘typical/predictable’ that the only ‘Empire’ that The US ever acted/demanded/blackmailed/threatened/bankrupted and forced to divest it’s member states was … The British Empire – the only one that could be argued was (mostly, and certainly by then) benign and a positive influence.
But then The Empire was a competitor in the global trade that enriched it, whereas the others (Russia/China) were clients, funded and supported ideologically and financially from Washington (as had Nazi Germany been before them).
It’s almost as if, despite American elites constant claims to be a ‘force for good’ that ‘cared’, they forgot to mention the only ‘good’ they ‘cared’ about was their own power and enrichment. they’ve always been more than happy to watch people, even their own, die in the millions to ensure their own power and profit.
(Remember The US only deigned to join in in WW1 when the war was ending, so as to be able to have access/involvement in the decisions and profits – effectively causing the next war by their unreasonable impositions on Germany. They were late again in WW2, after funding German industry and armaments for decades – and then only to ensure the profits yet again, you are aware that all that ‘help’ The US gave Britain wasn’t paid for until 1975, and that’s after giving all those worldwide bases as down-payments. They funded and fed The Soviets, despite the pretense of the Cold War. etc. etc. etc.
Hmm, so yes, Russia, and China should be forced to stop their ‘imperialist’ abuses. But the worst? that’s always been The US by far).

Worth watching for sure.
“Source: The Atlantic”. OK. I get it.
Stucky is an utter idiot!
Obama had Yanukovich ousted. Brandon bragged about getting the Uke prosecutor, who was going after corrupt gas company that Traitor Joe’s, Pelosi’s, Kerry’s and Romney’s sons were “consulting” for. Pentagon admitted to numerous biolabs in Ukraine. The degenerate comedian president of Ukraine has almost a billion dollars in the bank and villas in Miami and Italy. The US/NATO have numerous missile bases in countries adjoining Russia. How many Russian missiles are there in Mexico and/or Canada?
I support your freedom of speech, otherwise I’d say you are criminally stupid.
You’ve been had Rife. Tog get your wallet back just drive to Plainfield and don’t forget to tip.
Stucky will be here all week!

Why?
Claptrap
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization nations are on Russias borders. Russia is not on the borders of North American nations. Who is building an empire. I think the evidence shows it is the Atlantic powers. Ukraine is not Canadas, or the United States, fight. It is Russias.
The punchline is the article source – The Atlantic
If you don’t know the Atlantic perhaps stucky can provide a full report
the MSM is to the plebes as the Atlantic is to the “educated”. Brainwashing at a higher reading level. Jughead meet the Atlantic.
Didn’t Steve Jobs’ wife buy it a few years ago?
Every where you see “Russia” along with people and places in this article, replace it with “America” and the author would be spot on and get a round of kudos from me.
Alas, the author is just another Government Mule.
News flash- Russia has already won the battle for the Ukraine…..Next
There are people (whoever wrote this Atlantic article) whose understanding of reality is so backwards that they think they’re not turning off a light switch, they’re turning on the dark.
Why read this nonsense?
Wow … nothing like hitching your wagon to a leftist columnist from The Atlantic/WaPo/Vox/Foreign Affairs …
Why are you even reading the Atlantic?
In fairness (?), 95% of The Atlantic is MSM crap, reprocessed to suit the taste of those who fancy themselves educated.
Every now and then, they do actually publish something interesting, and a bit out of the mainstream. Not enough to warrant a subscription, though.
Gotta love ya, Stucky. ROFLMAO!
Everybody pray for Sticky. Perhaps the LORD Jesus will have mercy on him and heal his Mental Illness. Let’s hope so.
Cocksuckingly brilliant!
Yes, Cocksuckingly
You got the first half right.
Trying desperately to fit in around here.
“To avoid more senseless bloodshed, the Kremlin must lose what empire it still retains.”
How about we substitute “the Kremlin” with Washington D.C.
If memory serves me correctly that was tried in 1861 and we all know how that turned out.
Decolonize the USA.
There’s quite a difference between states that agreed to a union by compact wanting to leave (and starting a war to do so) and holding conquered lands by force.
American slave states were not colonies, they joined the union voluntarily.
This is globalist drivel. It is from “The Atlantic,” a globalist mouthpiece, and you can be certain that TPTB are backing the narrative. What they want is to slice & dice Russia into little pieces so they can “release the hounds” and loot each of the resulting powerless countries with unequal resource-stripping.
Those last few paragraphs are just the latest variation of “make the world safe for democracy.”
What unicorn fart authored this, that would have the gall to state, the world will be a “safe” place should Russia decolonize?!
Drop a pencil, check for gravity.
Congrats SS(stirstick) Stucky
The Atlantic!? Neo con/zionist central.
The etymology of the word “intelligence” relates to the concept of “reading between the lines.” After reading here (of all places) of all the people who did not do that and took Stucky’s comments at face value, I cannot but determine we are doomed.
hmmm.. have you even HEARD of kolomoisky? he’s the r_____ TRILLIONAIRES backed _____/”ukrainian” BILLIONAIRE OLIGARCH how made… who OWNS transvestite serial cocaine addict zelensky’s puppet regime. and before that it was state department “NEO-CON/neo-lib” Victoria nuland kagan. do you have any idea who kagan-ovich was? he was the guy who USED RUSSIANS to KILL somewhere between 7 and 14 MILLION Ukrainians during the winter of intentional famine & massacres, 1932-1933. and do you know why the u.s. SPENT MILLIONS putting BIO-WAR LABS in ukraine, georgia (and ALL AROUND russia)? So they could get a steady supply of LOCAL BLOOD and TISSUES and “volunteers” to EXPERIMENT THEIR BIO-WAR WEAPONS ON… and then RELEASE, “test” them in public. and you do know that the u.s. FINANCIAL/military/industrial complex was PUSHING THEIR PUPPET, COUP INSTALLED ukraine regime to clamor for NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION. nuclear proliferation.. bio-war terrorism… using nato to encroach on russia to PLACE HAIR-TRIGGER HYPERSONIC MISSILES in ukraine, georgia, finland, poland…
you really are brainwashed to SUPPORT CRIMES AGAINST HUMANTY

The graphic below is for a certain class of TBPer …… you MORANS you don’t understand sarcasm, or me.
You been smoked motherfuckers …. by the best shit-stirrer on the planet. heh heh
Now …. there are several classes of Morans here. Let’s review;
There is the Newbie-butthurt moran —- there are a couple names in this thread I have not seen before, and they have decided to jump on my ass. Fuckoff you creeps!! Learn the lay of the land before you shoot off your ignorant cock-holster mouth.
There is the don’t-know-jack-shit moran — the fucking article is from THE ATLANTIC! Do you realize what a shitty government mouthpiece that rag is?? Apparently not, Mr. or Ms. shit-for-brains.
There is the know-it-all moran — I included his article because once in a while it makes sense to understand what the enemy is writing/thinking/planning! This makes you smarter. This gives you ammo to defeat them. But some of you are so goddamned smart you know everything and you don’t even need to read anything anymore.
There is the I-hate-Stucky-but-I-do-like-to-suck-my-own-dick moran —- these are mostly anons, but a couple others who like to say how stupid, unfunny, blah blah blah I am ….. as if the greater population here gives a flying fuck what you have to say. Most of them drop comments between jerking off to gay porn.
There is the short-term-memory-loss moran — I have been posting pro-Russia / anti-Ukie articles here since the damned war began!!! And you honestly believe I changed my mind so quickly … and over an ATLANTIC article?? I’m sorry, but I believe you morans are in early onset dementia.
Lastly, there is the fucken-full-dementia moran — these are people who have been here a long time, or long enough. I’ve been pro-Russia, and submitted original pro-Russia articles and comments SINCE I STARTED POSTING HERE. And let me tell you, I was in the minority. You long timers have serious memory problems, on par with Dementia Joe. Seek help immediately.
===============
To the rest of you, the majority, thanks for your great comments.
You forgot to mention the True Moran of TBP.
And watch/listen to this.
and this:
I thought the true Moran goes by the first name of Mark?
Marc, I think, but I could be wrong. Haha!
We have a beautiful Memorial Day here. I’m off to deliver rabbits to the farm store. Life is good here.
You have Menticide and should report to the nearest blog for help or you could watch this video and start the recovery process.
https://153news.net/watch_video.php?v=XHHXYW18XM74
I love you Stucky!!!!!!!
Oooo now that you splained it soo darn good, it is pure comic genius.
And fuck you too honey.
So basically what your saying is were ALL morons except for like 5 people. Your an arrogant foul mouthed dickhead. Your “suck a dick” and other moron references just demonstrate your lack of constructive communication skills on par with an average cynical 11th grader.
Get a life.
where did this author get this info from? msnbc? cnn? i couldnt make it one paragraph in before the lies and ignorance made me scroll down to inform the readers this guys a moron and part of the western controled naritive…you can find the same lies on cbs nbs tbs and others
my god , the neocon foolishness is off the chart
Personally, I see Stucky’s intro as reeking of sarcasm. No crticism of the article could be as effective as just letting you read the article itself. To point out how ridiculous it is would be like trying to describe a 3 Stooges episode – easier to just watch the episode.
Or not
Your nuts! Whoever wrote this article is delusional. Are you even slightly aware of what the good old USA has been up to lately in the Ukraine?
For any of you here who ever spent time on Zero Hedge in the past–I mean ten years ago, roughly–Stucky’s post was eerily reminiscent of the (long gone) ‘Million Dollar Bonus’, a guy (I suppose he was a guy as evidenced by his unassailable sense of humor) who the ZH crowd “got”, even sans a /sarc tag.
As time went on, more and more participants just didn’t get the joke anymore, sadly.
So, here’s a toast to The Stuckmeister for bringing back a memory and reminding us all to not forget what a sense of humor is.
The mark of a true artist is how far he/she can suck you in before you realize you’ve been had.
Cheers!
Sense of humor? Ive laughed a few times from stuff by the stuck fuc but this was not one of them. If the whole point was to fuc with the heads of readers on this site then I consider it all a complete waste of time. Its a comment section for God’s sake and to easy for people to misunderstand or perceive things in a way not intended when its presented without tact or proper context. Doesn’t take much brain power, skill or wit to trick people with sarcasm in a fleeting comment section especially for a newbie.
Especially when they are as fucken dimwitted as you Markeeeeeee. You have the IQ of a banana. reeeeeeeee!
you really are a little boy douche bag.

Don’t think you spent too many brain cells on that conclusion. To chage direction based on that is pathetic. I yhink you should leave politics alone
This is satire, right?
I’m slow. Is this satire?

…
That’s when I stopped reading. Really Stuck. LMFAO!! The giveaway was ZB. You wouldn’t agree with him if you had a gun to your head.
Thanks, pal. Here’s some truth …
Sometimes when I post a sarcastic comment I think to myself “this ought to get the ball rolling!”. And it fizzles out like a wet match. No big deal.
Other times when I post a sarcastic comment I think to myself “this ain’t going nowhere because it’s so obvious”, but what-the-hell, I’ll post it anyway. That was the case with my introductory comments to this article. I thought the sarcasm was so fucking obvious that my comments wouldn’t get even one single response. I guess I was wrong, again. lol
Go Fuck yourself. You are a proud self acclaimed asshole. We are all humbled by the heights you achieved in your efforts to be an asshole. Now run off to your little notebook and record the number of downvotes to make you feel important and paid attention to. Pathetic.
