Did you see "the Wall" go up when the Republicans controlled Congress under Trump? He never got everything he wanted. It's the nature of our Federal government.
The Ukrainian offensive starts
- Thread starter mandrill

More counts don't "make for a stronger case". Normally prosecutors charge all the counts that could conceivably fit the evidence. That way, no matter how the evidence unfolds in a trial, the appropriate charges are before the court.
Make sense now?
All lawyers do this. For instance, the standard statement of claim for an auto accident case will extensively list all the ways that the driver can be at fault in an accident - so no matter how the evidence unfolds in a trial, the appropriate claims are before the court.
It's just being professionally competent and thorough.
Maybe if you don't understand a topic, you shouldn't try and argue it out with people who do.
Excellent post on Russia's military history. I think I remember hearing in WW2 many Ukrainians welcomed the Nazis, but after seeing them in action decided the Soviets were the better of two evils.
Many continued to work for the Nazis and the Nazis raised 2 SS divisions from Ukrainian troops. Lots of hidden history that few in the west know. If JC isn't just trolling, he knows some more details.
I wonder whether those who understand should be arguing with those who don’t. So much casting pearls before swines here

They are and eventually they will have to work out a compromising middle ground. That might take a Republican President to marshal the Republicans in Congress. mandrill and others think abortion will be a big issue in 2024. I don't think it will be as important as the midterms where there is less participation. Midterm elections tend to be by ideological driven and/or motivated by an overriding issue like abortion.
From what I understand, neither the United States or Canada enacted national legislation on abortion. The Courts ruled on it and it became de facto law. The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling basically said their was no Constitutional law protecting abortion rights. Thus, kicking it back to the States.
In Canada, no party had the balls to legislate on a deeply divisive issue like abortion and it was simply left unlegislated. That's the real reason why Canada has no abortion law at all.
Isn't it kind of silly and somewhat self-indulgent to cheerlead for other members in discussions? mandrill is merely offering his opinion dressed up as expert fact. You can choose to agree, but don't bestow too many of your valuable pearls.

I think that was always part of the problem here at the Federal level. I don't care for State's rights in many matters of government policy. Abortion would be one of them.
Many people forget that the Nazis hated Communists just as much as they hated Jews...
If you lived under Stalin in Ukraine, you'd welcome the Nazis, too. Add to that the Ukrainian nationalism, especially in the Western Ukraine, and you have a cauldron of death and hate in your hands. The Ukrainian nationalists committed ghastly crimes on the non Ukrainians and they paid the righteous price for it when the Soviets rolled over them. They should be uniformly condemned for that. Seeing the modern Ukrainian embrace people like Bandera, celebrating the "achievements " of their independence movement, seeing the symbols on the Ukrainian uniforms, make the honest historians and those few survivers still alive literally sick.
How many people have you convinced of anything on this board, wyatt?
Why do I think that's gone as well as Dutch Oven's election litigation thread?
Similar level of expertise and Dunning Kruger confidence?
So rump was incompetent as a president?
To be fair, this is the internet. Almost nobody ever gets convinced of anything.
Cue up the arguing on the internet is like memes.
This is not from a Q anon site but still inform you of who
the winner of the war is.

I could be arguing in my spare time.
Ukraine was a divided nation, Western Ukraine was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They alligned with Poland in the hope for independence, Lviv passed from Empire to Poland.
It didn't "pass", it returned. LWOW was NEVER an Ukrainian city by any stretch of imagination until Stalin "gifted" it to himself after WW2.
Now tell us about the Polish White Army and what they did in return to the Ukrainians.
Don't you object to member insulting other members in your very next post? And here you go insulting Frankie who is a smart and interesting member of this board.
Sometimes you confuse me, Earp.
