    The Gettysburg Address was shorter. And actually made sense.

    The Soviets made a choice to march closer to the line, starting two years earlier:

    The greatest catalyst to the Able Archer war scare occurred more than two years earlier. In a May 1981 closed-session meeting of senior KGB officers and Soviet leaders, General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev and KGB chairman Yuri Andropov bluntly announced that the United States was preparing a secret nuclear attack on the USSR.

    To combat this threat, Andropov announced, the KGB and GRU military foreign intelligence arm woul begin Operation RYaN. RYaN (Russian: РЯН) was a Russian acronym for 'nuclear missile attack' (Ракетно Ядерное Нападение, Raketno Yadernoe Napadenie); Operation RYaN was the largest, most comprehensive peacetime intelligence-gathering operation in Soviet history. Operation RYaN was the largest, most comprehensive peacetime intelligence-gathering operation in Soviet history. Agents abroad were charged with monitoring the figures who would decide to launch a nuclear attack, the service and technical personnel who would implement the attack, and the facilities from which the attack would originate. It is possible that the goal of Operation RYaN was to discover the first intent of a nuclear attack and then preempt it.

    The exact impetus for the implementation of Operation RYaN is not known for sure. Oleg Gordievsky, the highest-ranking KGB official ever to defect, attributed it to "a potentially lethal combination of Reaganite rhetoric and Soviet paranoia". Gordievsky conjectured that Brezhnev and Andropov, who "were very, very old-fashioned and easily influenced ... by Communist dogmas", truly believed that an antagonistic Ronald Reagan would push the nuclear button and relegate the Soviet Union to the literal "ash heap of history".​

    So ... not us.

    ... and still her mouth is as ugly and vile as ever.

    Remember this, folks. But, like too many others, she tries to hide behind her so-called Christianity.

    Um, no. Not much humanity, either. But keep trying.

    How can I take a recent poll here? Not who ones WANTS to win, but who at this time believes who is GOING to win. I'm for Kamala and Walz... I realistically fear they will lose.

    The Democrats will win, but I'm not confident the margin will be enough to make Orange Julius sit down and STFU. That might take sweeping the 7 battlegrounds and nicking Florida.

    She will not lose any states Biden won in ‘20. She’ll pick up North Carolina.

    Imagine losing all of that weight and looking worse. Now she's got a skinny body with that giant head and that miserable-looking face. And then she opens her mouth and it amazingly gets more miserable. Just an ugly person inside and out.
