#9  "We’re not going to tell the Ukrainians how to negotiate, what to negotiate and when to negotiate,” Colin H. Kahl, the under secretary of defense for policy, said on Tuesday. “They’re going to set those terms for themselves.”

Translation: Start negotiating. You're on your own, bitches.

#7  Well, yeah, they've been paying the Biden family for some years now.

#6  Everything out of Bidet's mouth is a lie. Ukrainians bought it? Says a lot about them.

#5  Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime

Gotta remember that one. Mose Allison, huh?

#4  Don't be makin' promises that you can't keep

This nicely summarizes the Biden policy toward the Ukes

Pretty hilarious how that whole song perfectly addresses the big-mouthed, all hat and no cattle NATO approach. NATO's chief is actually telling the Ukes to give up territory and sue for peace. Do you understand irony?

#3  ^ a lame, essentially ghey song from a very over-rated movie, made from a deservedly obscure book.

#2  Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And you can take or leave it if you please
That game of life is hard to play
The Ukes will lose it anyway
The losing card they soon will lay
So this is all you have to say
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And you can take or leave it if you please

#1  Out on errands this morning, heard this Mose Allison song on Real Jazz Sirius XM. The lyrics, I think, describe the trolls pretty well:

You sittin' here and yakkin' right in my face
You comin' on exactly like you own the place
You know if silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime

You quotin' figures and droppin' names
You tellin' stories and playing games
You're overlaughin' when things ain't funny
You tryin' to sound like the big money
You know if talk was criminal
You'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
You know that life is short
Talk is cheap
Don't be makin' promises that you can't keep
You don't like this little song I'm singin'
Just grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
If you must keep talkin'
Please try to make it rhyme
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
