    Pinning this post for two days or until whenever I remember to unpin it because I got a report reading “Rule 1—this is not remotely LAMF”.

    • It’s textbook leopards. This man moved to Russia because he liked the way they eat LGBTQ+ people’s faces and was blindsided when his face got eaten.
    • The only thing that isn’t funny about this is that innocent Ukrainians have to fight him now.
    • Russia is a backwards, imperialist, genocidal septic tank of a country.
    • Die mad.

      It’s still kind of grimly funny if you think about those Ukranians’ opponent being some dumbass who didn’t even get taught how to soldier in a language he understood before he was scraped from the bottom of the barrel and turned into their cannon fodder.

      He might end up having to do so anyway. Dedovshchina (ritual hazing of Russian army recruits) will happen to him and sexual abuse isn’t uncommon.

          Heard a quote that sums it up pretty well.

          “Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power.”-dunno who to attribute this too.

          I don’t completely agree with that, but I think it sums up some people in the Russian military pretty well.

    I (Texan) said hi in the parking lot to a coworker I hadn’t met before. He proceeded to tell me about how he lived on each of the coasts until those areas one-by-one “went to shit.” Then, he explained to me that he had to get away from all the filth that moved in to those areas and that’s why he chose to move to Texas. “God, guns, and freedom as far as the eye can see.” I truly regretted engaging that man with a simple greeting.

    A bad interaction like this shouldn’t ruin my day, but I work in public education, which means this guy is integral in supporting our community and raising our children. What has ruined every day for me since that interaction was learning that he works in HR. I’m so fucking dreading this upcoming school year.

      Met someone at a dive bar recently that was a raging piece of shit MAGAt and went on and on about hating DEI and how white people deserve equality too…

      …fucking turns out they also work in HR at a company. Sadly I wasn’t able to figure out what company (was hoping to report them). But dear god. Worst HR person ever.

      Another Texan here that was in education but I got out because of people like the one you described (and a general feeling of burn out).

      Sorry to hear that about the interaction and the fact that the guy is integral/HR. I’m sort of amazed that he didn’t change or grow as a person after having traveled and moved around like that, but I guess that goes to show you can’t really teach someone who doesn’t want to learn. Having grown up in Texas I can understand that way of conservative thinking, but luckily thanks to having been exposed to different ways of thinking and cultures, I can never empathize with that kind of thinking. I’m tired at this point and if a republican coworker of mine really wants to fight me over how great their cult is, I’m just gonna turn the cheek and walk away, like I don’t think it’s worth the effort anymore to even engage with them over politics.

      For real! I had my moment of doubt in college, since I wasnt afraid of being gay I gave it a shot. I still don’t really consider myself super straight, but I know I’m not into my own bits and pieces.

        Who has touched your bits and pieces more than anyone else? That’s right, YOU!!
        Every single day, multiple times a day, you are there touching them…Cleaning them. Smushing them hither and thither, so it’s about time you faced up to the fact that you need to move to Russia to prove you haven’t caught “The Gay” from all that touching!!!

    ”It didn’t come as a surprise to me,” she said of his joining the military. “He always spoke so highly of the country, its president, and its people, and he has a strong passion for doing the right thing.

    That’s a weird way to spell crimes against humanity, but I guess there’s that Texan scholastic excellence for you.

    Wow, that’s a huge lesson he’s learning, you need to do a little research.

    “The point of this act for me is to earn a place here in Russia,” he told Russian state media last month. “If I risk myself for our new country, no one will say that I am not a part of it. Unlike migrants in America who come there just like that, do not assimilate, and at the same time want free handouts.”

    Undocumented migrants cannot join the U.S. military during peacetime. A program launched by former President George W. Bush allowed such immigrants to seek citizenship by serving in the military, but that pathway was shuttered during President Donald Trump’s first term.

      Are the migrants wanting handouts he refers to the ones who are working low paying physical jobs that Americans refuse to do, sending most of that money back to their families still in their native countries? What a bunch of freeloaders. /s

        They also don’t get any federal handouts. Anything they do get is from state programs in a handful of blue states.

      "Unlike migrants in America who come there just like that, do not assimilate, and at the same time want free handouts.”

      Ah, so he has learned the Russian language to a degree at least approaching fluency?

      As has his wife?

      And he has been teaching his kids Russian as well?

      He does, after all, very seriously consider language as a fundamental element of a nation’s culture:

      https://usa.news-pravda.com/usa/2025/06/05/323684.html

      [Regarding Huffman’s stance on the Russo-Ukraine conflict, as of ~6 weeks ago]:

      They took away their language and their religion from these inhabitants. They were oppressed, they tried to suppress their Russian culture. You can’t do that. I believe that the residents of Donbass are full members of a large Russian family. To tell the truth, I can’t fully understand what the Ukrainian government didn’t like, but I think it was just harassing the residents of Donbass. President [of Russia Vladimir] Putin tries to protect those whom he sees as members of his family, his brothers.

      Hey… wait a minute…

      [From another part of the article]:

      … - emphasized the interlocutor of the “First Russian”.

      No, of course he doesn’t speaking any fucking Russian, he’s a dumbass gun nut hyperconservative from Texas, he most likely can barely even speak English.

      Ah you see, Americans who move abroad, no no, they aren’t immigrants… they are ex-pats, which is a totally different thing guys, for real.

      What a fucking idiot.

      I feel bad for his soon to be orphaned kids.

      And dog.

      Not his at least equally stupid wife though.

      As a vet, tRump doing this pissed me off almost as much as anything else he did in his first term. Some of the most ardent service(wo)men I served with were part of this program around 2006-ish. Many of them stayed in past their required terms (which I think had to be 8-years if I’m not mistaken), unlike myself and others looking to get through college debt-free.

      If you’re willing to put your life on the line for a country you aren’t currently a citizen of, you deserve to be a citizen of that country on the other side of that service.

    My entire family just laughed our asses off at this. For real, we’re all hanging out in the living room.

    I moved my family away from MAGAt hell last year due fear for their lives.

    I hope a Ukraninan drone drops a grenade on top of him and he dies screaming while he tries to hold his guts in.
