    Comparing the two are funny at
    I like how the right calls the Center and the independents as leftists now. There is no middle ground anymore

    I guess; I don't really drink Vodka that often, but I like Titos; there's a slight sweetness from the corn.

    Not sure exactly what type of weapon this is, but this probably the live shot of that destroyed convoy we saw on the ground yesterday.

    Warning: Hard to see, and looks like a video game, but people likely lose their lives in this video.

    There's going to be a lot of for sale signs at Trump properties.

    It's all about power and nationalism. Putin is a man who stifles economic growth in Russia because it would be a threat to his political control - he literally has his security apparatus handle things such as deciding what startups can operate - no wonder their GDP is in the tank despite having a relatively educated and able population.

    This is an authoritarian who sees himself restoring the pride of the Russian people - the pride that he lost when the USSR fell apart and Yeltsin bungled everything away. Ukraine is his prize of being able to say, "I did more to restore Russian glory by reuniting us again" - that's nationalism and narcism - a familiar mix don't you think?

    We got lots of problems we face as a country and a world. And yet the biggest problem for conservatives seems to be woke culture and vaccine/mask mandates. None of that makes sense to me and perhaps you can explain why these issues are more important than all the other ones we face. Why does CPAC see "woke culture" as the greatest threat to America? Do you agree with that? Because to me it just sounds insane.

    Both political slants could learn something from Ukrainian unity truthfully- what impressive people and country - every citizen being armed helps as well

    Poland should be roundly and harshly criticized for this, but we can not solve every single problem that pops up in the world when this **** is going on in our own backyard.

    I don't drink dry vodka straight, so any proper mixing bottle works for me. I like Monopolowa for cocktails.

    Zubrowka on rocks with (or without) a splash of apple juice is great...learned that one with the locals in Poland.

    have had it; it's fine, and so are all the other designer vodkas. as I said, I don't really drink vodka that often.

    although one sweltering summer w/o a/c my wife and I did survive on Absolute Citron and Noxzema, both stored in the freezer.

    Yes, he knows the difference.

    What he does with that, nobody can tell.

    I don't drink much vodka at all as I think it lacks taste but of the vodkas, GreyGoose has the smoothest and sweetest taste. Much prefer Bourbon.
