Because you need me, Springfield. Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That’s why I did this, to save you from yourselves.

I still use Textra. I switched over to the Google Messenger app for a month or two. I ended up going back to Textra… I guess I care more about the user experience than RCS. But I would like to have RCS. I believe Google promised it years ago but never delivered.

I agree, but I haven’t really come across any Nazis on here yet. Maybe they have been all defederation before I saw any.

The most I’ve seen was lemmygrad accusing others of being Nazis… Mostly accusing all Ukrainians of being Nazis with no real evidence, other than a very small minority of the population are wannabe neo-Nazis (true of almost every country).

Still on a pixel 2, it’s really starting to show it’s age. It’s been a solid phone. I think I will upgrade to the Pixel 8 this fall… But I will miss the rear finger print scanner.

Maybe a stupid question but if I sign up on a different instance, do I need to add all my subs again?

That’s an insane number for something they have zero evidence for.

If you can, keep going on the Expanse. I think seasons 2 and 3 are some of the best sci-fi ever made.

I love Firefly. Nothing to add about that, just wanted to state that.

So name a law BEFORE the invasion (2014)… Remember you are trying to justify the illegal invasion. It looks like the stuff you list was in response to the invasion.

Let me think… Why would countries want to join NATO. could it be Moldova, Georgia, Abkhazia… Seems like there is a need. Seems like Putin is trying to rebuild the USSR.

Okay, the Soviets used Nazi slogans, got it

Wow, Stalin not that bad? He’s not as bad as Hitler but still close. Stalin was just over a longer span of time. To the point the Soviet union even tried to De-Stalinization the Soviet union. My parents grew up under Soviet oppression and it was not a good time.

I think he’s getting down voted because it seems like they are suggesting that we don’t pursue criminal charges just because he’s a rich political figure. And running for office is an excuse for not pursuing charges just because they are a popular choice for some. Especially the since the evidence that is out there seems to be very strong and compelling… And that’s just the public info.

Public servants (police and such) and political figures should be held to a higher standard not a lower standard, regardless of what political side they are on. And the rich and powerful should be held to an equal standard as the poor.

You’re the one making claims of laws that are responsible for ethnic cleansing, so you should be able to provide some examples.

There are no nukes in the Baltic states (they are already NATO members but Ukraine isn’t), why would they put nukes in the Ukraine? Plus the US and Russia could already hit anywhere in the world already. So, it’s a made up threat to try to justify an invasion.

Slogans can have different meanings depending on context. If Ukraine was invading other countries, then Glory to Ukraine might sound like they are superior but if they are defending it sounds like they will be victorious. Plus, Slava Ukraine sounds more like a the Soviet union slogan “glory to the motherland.”

Man, if you think that historical context are excuses. You could never read a history book then… Which might actually explain a lot…

Putin did break the treaty he invaded the boarders of Ukraine. You can illegally invade a country then have an illegal vote to declare a breakaway regions under military occupation.

Stalin defeated the Nazis then proceeded to kill millions of people… And you wonder why so many former Soviet countries want to join NATO for protection.
