  1. Or that this was kicked off in part because a bunch of Orthodox Jews were about to help boot Netanyahu's group out of power because they didn't want their sons drafted into the IDF.
  2. How the fuck did the Marines make email signatures out of crayons?
  3. Tom Anderson? Are you talking about Hank Hill?
  4. I would say destabilizing Iraq really fucked up the Middle East for quite a while and got a lot of American troops and even more civilians killed. There's that little ISIS group that some of us remember. Libya has been a complete shitshow since Gaddafi was Nowthis'd.
  5. We have been openly talking about regime change. The last three high-profile times it happened: Assad fled to Moscow Gaddafi ended up dead with literally red-hot pokers up his ass Saddam ended up being hung by people we turned against him In theory the rules of Iran have a much easier time of getting to Moscow, but don't think that #2 and #3 aren't in their minds - they have to use a lot of secret police to keep the civilians in check. We put their backs up against the wall, we don't know what they will do. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
  6. Nope. There isn't some kind of 10-run mercy rule where the umpires declare the game over and everybody goes home. It's only over when Iran decides it is.
  7. So then we are bombing tomorrow morning.
  8. It was some in-character shorts by the Daily Planet staff. Entertaining and good marketing..
  9. That’s not going to get good viewership numbers though. SAD! If they don’t use that ordnance, they may have to dump it in the ocean rather than trying to land with it and putting the wear and tear on the airframe, which is a lot of expensive toys wasted. My guess is they are either going to use it, or the aircraft are empty and they are putting misinformation/disinformation out there making it look like we will bomb.
  10. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cF3tiGwSrSM
  11. He brought it so he could find more baby mommas.
  12. If we attack in a large-scale way, we, and Israel (already) will potentially (depending on civilian damage) be helping to create more young men who will be all in on strapping explosives to themselves (or at the least the strikes will be providing the propaganda material to recruit such men) or helping in other ways to kill Americans, Israelis, etc.. It could be that we kill their friends or family members, or just that we are attacking their country. Either way, we are feeding into what the Mullahs are selling. But there is also some irony at play - if Iran had nukes on missiles or at sea or whatever, Israel wouldn’t be doing this, just like if Ukraine had nukes, Russia wouldn’t have invaded. Israel and Russia are literally reinforcing the message that if you can get nukes, you don’t have to worry as much about being attacked by other countries. North Korea is living proof of this. And Israel going to such lengths against Iran, a country with 10x their population, makes it clear they are scared of a country like Iran getting nukes and that they wouldn’t attack if Iran had nukes. Well, the nuclear stuff is the “official” reason, but we all know Netanyahu only survived a recent vote of confidence because he promised the Orthodox Jews he wouldn’t draft their kids. Without the Orthodox, his government collapses and we aren’t talking about war with Iran. But it doesn’t matter now, Israel has a tiger by the tail and is asking us for help in how to let it go without being bitten.
  13. If you want to freak those types out, read this to them and I’ve probably posted it here before Texans didn’t beat around the hush when it comes to why they wanted to secede. Texas in 1861 literally declared that slavery should exist for all time. https://www.tsl.texas.gov/ref/abouttx/secession/2feb1861.html DECLARATION OF CAUSES: February 2, 1861 A declaration of the causes which impel the State of Texas to secede from the Federal Union. The government of the United States, by certain joint resolutions, bearing date the 1st day of March, in the year A.D. 1845, proposed to the Republic of Texas, then a free, sovereign and independent nation, the annexation of the latter to the former as one of the co-equal States thereof, The people of Texas, by deputies in convention assembled, on the fourth day of July of the same year, assented to and accepted said proposals and formed a constitution for the proposed State, upon which on the 29th day of December in the same year, said State was formally admitted into the Confederated Union. Texas abandoned her separate national existence and consented to become one of the Confederated States to promote her welfare, insure domestic tranquility [sic] and secure more substantially the blessings of peace and liberty to her people. She was received into the confederacy with her own constitution, under the guarantee of the federal constitution and the compact of annexation, that she should enjoy these blessings. She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time. Her institutions and geographical position established the strongest ties between her and other slave-holding States of the confederacy. Those ties have been strengthened by association. But what has been the course of the government of the United States, and of the people and authorities of the non-slave-holding States, since our connection with them? The controlling majority of the Federal Government, under various pretences and disguises, has so administered the same as to exclude the citizens of the Southern States, unless under odious and unconstitutional restrictions, from all the immense territory owned in common by all the States on the Pacific Ocean, for the avowed purpose of acquiring sufficient power in the common government to use it as a means of destroying the institutions of Texas and her sister slave-holding States
  14. So you're saying Nicole should install the Tesla/robotaxi app on her phone? I think Walter Isaacson is right and he's going to merge Tesla and X/Xai or whatever.
  15. I see a massive multi-multi-million-dollar engineering feat that could be defeated by a missile or drone. That looks so vulnerable.
  16. Yeah, but higher oil prices will be good for people in Texas. Well, some of them.
  17. To be fair, that was in January according to his twitter account
  18. Abraham Lincoln died April 15 at the young age of 56.
  19. Told you all - as I said, if we are evacuating Americans out of Israel, if multiple Republican Senators extremely loyal to Trump are making the rounds with the talking heads to sell us on war, and if Fox News is selling its viewers on war, we are going to war. So it's starting tomorrow? Makes sense, it's a Friday.
  20. It was an anomaly. With Starship blowing up yesterday, and Robotaxi coming Sunday, it's got to be a little bit stressful for Leon. Wonder if there's anything he can turn to, to help with that.
