This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The bottom dropping out of the GOP could not be forseen by ACross
With respect to foreign policy and our role as the leader of the free world and the only force of power that can defeat dictators, despots, and genocide.
Now with such assclowns as Rand Paul and the pro-Russia, anti Ukraine crowd of the entire GOP base (well, the Freedom Caucus and the Trumpsters and the America Firsters), and with that Floridian dwarf characterizing Putin's gambit as a a "border dispute", what has the whole point of the las t100 years of world history been? Has the obsession with building a wall rendered the fight against communism and totalitarianism just a charade? Orban, Kim Jong Un, Erdoğan, such wonderful men.
