So yes, the tale of broke over-regulated union-overrun California is a bit dated. It was true when Republicans were in power in California.
First. Government waste is well known. Helping people via committee of bureaucrats is never good.
Yeah, and of course you'll deny all that nice SS checks in case of disability. Or government help if your house is smashed by a tornado.
On your "trivia" thing - I truly do not understand why and how so many pro-Russian people suddenly became so well versed in technicalities of war toys.
I'm a reserve officer with a military specialty in anti-air defense. I think I even have a comment on Slashdot about it. And the video looks exactly like a strike with NURSes.
And on your last "SBU" bit.. so a "proof" consists of downloading an mp4 video from some 3rd-party website and checking dates in it. And this is somehow authentic?
As authentic as SBU's claims that all prisons in Kiev are overflowing with GRU agents. Or that Luhansk explosion was caused by an incorrect operation of an air conditioner.
BTW, another piece of trivia. It's impossible to shoot an Igla missile at an air conditioner - it simply won't lock and fire. Or rather the gunpowder charge in the launcher will push the rocket out of the barrel and then it'll flop to the ground right at your feet.
