Shot in the Dark

I Needed A Cool Symbol…

…and the universe delivered.

Russia’s hockey team goes on the ice wearing Soviet throwback uniforms.

And were promptly beaten by…

…Finland.

By the way – in what way is wearing Soviet retro-wear any different from swastikas and Totenköpfe?

BTW, Finnish for “Do you believe in miracles?” is “Ustokko ihmeisiin?”.

    They did that with the permission and encouragement of the government.

    Russia doesn’t gaf what you think, and neither does China, Norko, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq or Israel.

    Maybe ol’ poopy pants should write up some exec orders sanctioning based countries until they complete a comprehensive diversity and inclusion program.

    That feeling when revisionism backfires. On the other hand — I’m happy to see references to the Soviet Union consigned to history.

    Well, I think it is not a secret that Putin is looking to reconstitute USSR, at least territorially and economically. Don’t know about the stans and Baltics, but he should be able to walk all over Belarus and Ukraine. Back to Kievan Rus.

    @jpa: The protocol of the elder of moron.

    Trump: “evangelical Christians love Israel more than the Jews” in the US

    “it used to be that Israel had absolute power over Congress”

    “the Jewish people…in the US either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel”

    “they’re Jewish people that run the NYT”

    Many Jewish people are strongly saying he is a dementia laden anti-semitic loser who spews out stream of consciousness idiocy non stop.

    I’m thinking more and more that those who wear the red star or related paraphenalia need to be asked why they would dare wear such an obscenity, and if they do it on the sports field, they need to be booed off the field, court, or rink. Period. Let’s stop ignoring the deaths of over 100 million innocents due to the most murderous political system known to history.

    There’s a bar in Uptown called “Hammer and Sickle”.

    I’ve never heard them respond to questions about why they didn’t just cut the crap and name it “Totenkopf“.

    For Leftists, hypocrisy is a display of their power over you and your inability to do anything about it. They actually love it.

    Merely calling out Leftist hypocrisy misunderstands it and hands them a W. It should only be done to redpill people into understanding that Leftists are abusing arbitrary power they have granted themselves and don’t actually possess.

    I wish I had come up with these two quotes, but I’ll have to be satisfied with merely passing them on.

    It’s amazing how fast some “conservatives” pick up the leftists word salad when they get their jimmies rustled.
