Laura Ingraham Calls Ukrainian President's Plea For Peace 'Pathetic'

During a broadcast minutes after Russia began invading Ukraine, Fox News host Laura Ingraham derided Ukraine’s leader for trying earlier to broker peace with the Russian president.

“We had kind of a really pathetic display from the Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, earlier today ... where he in Russian ― he didn’t like to speak Russian ― but in Russian, he was essentially imploring Vladimir Putin not to invade his country,” Ingraham said during a call with former President Donald Trump."

The term "mainstream" isn't such a great descriptor... here in the US I was referring to ABC, CBS, NBC... which are just the 3 predominant over-air networks dating back to the days before cable news stations. Every network has professional good journalists. What clouds the water is the personalities and opinion jackasses that have taken over news media. No matter where you turn it's almost impossible to get straight up news reporting without some angle being thrown in...

I remember when it was just Walter Cronkite.

Does it come with tank rounds? Just what you want to be driving with today’s fuel prices.

Sounds like a good movie plot, but not all that workable in reality. "Trolling" two nuclear powers into fighting each other only works if there's zero chance they're going to find out about it... and then team up against you. Cheeto's such an idiot, he probably thinks Russia & China nuking each other would be a good thing. The world might be better off without Pooty or Xi Jing Winnie the Pooh, but making the entire continent of Asia radioactive would be a pretty steep price for that.

It wouldn’t be just Asia. If Pakistan and India got in a nuclear exchange it would cause a nuclear winter and massive crop failures. The biggest killer from a nuclear exchange is starvation.

One fire at the Chernobyl nuclear power station and it took 24 years for our sheep in Scotland 1300 miles away to be clear of fall out.

The regular episodes are still on Comedy Central. Paramount + just gets the "movie specials".

And of course... if you don't have Comedy Central either, there's always the torrent option.

[twonabomber]

If it isn't on Motor Trend, Prime, or Disney+ I'm not gonna see it. Ditched the dish years ago.

I haven't bothered to torrent anything in over a year. Most I see of anything is in the breakroom at work, and usually that's The Office or Ridiculousness.

When you think the absolute, stunning fucking ineptitude of the Russian military can't get any worse, we have:

"On Monday, following reports of the combat death of Russian General-major Vitaly Gerasimov near Kharkiv, Ukraine, Christo Grozev, the executive director of investigative journalism and intelligence group Bellingcat, reported that Russian forces relaying the news back to their superiors were forced to use an insecure phone line with a local sim card — that was promptly intercepted."

As an optimist I'm hoping that the nuclear winter and global warming will just cancel each other out.

Puke Yuger. What were the odds?

I was listening to the radio in my car when working on something and I was oblivious to it as background noise. The Emergency Alert System beeping came on and for a second I nearly shit my pants thinking maybe this is it, the Satans are inbound!

Starsucks pulling their 90 weight motor oil swill is not a sanction. It's a blessing.
