  1. Remember, NO. MORE WARS!
  2. Whiskey Pete responds with an image from US Southern Command apparently.
  3. One of the tankers from this weekend
  4. Senegal? Ukraine not fucking around. Gonna deter a lot of companies and countries.
  5. Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Arizona, said on the Nov. 30 episode of "Meet the Press" that the Senate Armed Services will hold a public hearing on potentially illegal military orders issued by U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. "We're going to put these people under oath and we're going to find out what happened," Kelly said, referring to military members involved in a Sept. 2 strike ordered by Hegseth on survivors of an initial hit on a boat that the Trump administration claimed was carrying drug cargo, as reported by The Washington Post. "People can tell the difference, should be able to tell the difference between something that is unlawful and something that is lawful," Kelly said. He added that he was concerned that orders handed down to troops would put them "in a tough place" and that they would later find out "they did something illegal," though the senator did not specify which orders would be illegal. Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee Roger Wicker, R-Mississippi, said in an Nov. 28 statement that the committee has directed inquiries to the defense department about the strikes, "and we will be conducting vigorous oversight to determine the facts related to these circumstances." Wicker, along with Sen. Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island, the ranking Democrat on the committee, have sent Hegseth multiple requests for basic information including legal justifications and intelligence underpinning individual strikes. ———— DOD probably going to ignore Congress.
  6. And it adds 10 or more years to their faces.
  7. That was my first thought.
  8. He can, but he and Don Bacon are loudly calling out Trump over his Venezuela and Russian shit so I’ll take it.
  9. Probably not too far off though. No Dems are going to lose their Senate seats, and the Epstein stuff and invasion of Venezuela are going to depress turnout amongst the less faithful MAGA/moderates/old schoolers, not to mention the Russia stuff. When Republicans in Congress are calling out Trump for those three things, and the chambers are fighting each other, and republicans are resigning or announcing they are or changing offices, he’s losing power and control of the GOP.
  10. And True Lies was basically a perfect movie.
  11. Georgia marks a year of protests since EU talks stalled and crackdown intensified
  12. Don, I appreciate you going to town on Trump's corruption, but there's a little more that you could be doing...
  13. We need to deal with our own corruption. We joke that Witkoff is treating this all like it's a fucking real estate deal, but holy shit. In a sane world, Congress would be going to town on why Americans are cutting deals with Russian companies and pressuring Ukraine to basically surrender in return.

  14. We setup a forward base on Aruba back in the 90s, but I don't think they are keen on letting us use it.
  15. Shame she didn't run off with Leon. He would have been deported back to South Africa.
  16. We are even deploying more Harriers to Puerto Rico. Those things are short range and we probably don't deploy them all that often. And we keep sending B-52s along their coast. US lands fighter jets in Puerto Rico amidst growing tensions with Venezuela | Watch
  17. Their fans are complete assholes. Didn't tell me "howdy". Didn't show me around their campus. Didn't drive me over an hour out of their way to my hotel after I ran out of gas because I was used to the fuel gauge location on my car and not the rental. Didn't buy me lunch or dinner. Didn't show up the next morning and drive me hours away to Los Angeles so I could fly out or offer to drive me back to Texas when I missed my flight. Just complete and utter assholes.
  18. Here's what I think happened - he wants to bomb or invade or both, and was talking to the military folks, and somebody told him that there are a lot of flights in and around Venezuela - flights up and down the continent, flights in and out of Colombia (that cross over Venezulea), plus you have Aruba and the Antilles right off the coast with lots of tourist flights every single day from Europe and the Americas. There's probably a healthy amount of air traffic in that part of the world. They probably told Trump they have to be careful about civilian flights if they start bombing or trying to move troops in and supporting them, and that if they issue a NOTAM Venezulea will be tipped off, and Trump being Trump, said "fuck it, you all are useless, I'll shut down their airspace and the surrounding areas and we won't have to worry about civilian aircraft" and then he goes on Truth Social and declares bankruptcy their airspace to be shut down.
  19. There's a joke that goes something like "Trump is the second-most powerful person in the world - the most powerful person in the world is whoever last talked to Trump."
  20. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interactive/2025/ukraine-women-combat-drone-unit/
  21. Fine, you've convinced me, let's tuck our tails between our legs, try to get out of those big OOC games and look like fucking cowards. Because that's exactly what aggy would do.
  22. High profile game, gives the players a real game with real pressure, facing off against some solid offense and defense. Versus a scrimmage against kids that are not far away from playing at Division II or III or even Jucos.
