  1. Apparently Washington conquered all of those British airports so that Trump may end The Great Experiment.
  2. All of the shipments to Russia have probably been spotted and analyzed, so I would assume the US has a pretty good idea on what the factories are capable of turning out, what current stockpiles they have, etc. It speaks volumes that Ukraine has been hitting ammo dumps that just so happened to have large ammo shipments show up (from Russian factories and Iran/North Korea).
  3. Complacency and arrogance are a helluva drug. And since October 7, they kicked into really high-gear, blanketing (and precisely mapping) the areas Hamas controlled with drones. Wish I could find the article, but it talked about all of the technology Israel employed, complete with infrared scanning at night to catch heat signatures of tunnel entrances, vehicles and people moving stuff around, etc. After October 7, Israel treated this like an existential thread, complete with plans to kill any and all Hamas that they could.
  4. Because they were shit on in the past. On the one hand, they have a point about the record profits stuff. But on the other hand, they are timing this for the elections, and the leader bragging on social media that he could cripple the United States (and will) is not going over very well with people who are not union workers. I know he thinks one of the Presidential candidates is his friend for inviting him to his place in Florida, but when million-dollar and billion-dollar companies and their customers get pissed, they are going to want somebody to come down hard on that guy and the other union workers. Do they really think that the Texas Governor, who has been bragging non-stop about the Texas economy in recent weeks, is going to be happy to have cargo ships clogging up the Houston Ship Channel? Because a lot of companies are going to be leaning on every politician to shut this down. That guy really fucked up with his "we will cripple the US" nonsense. That was the epitome of arrogance. If he had simply stated the case about the record profits, the COVID stuff, etc., that would be reasonable with a lot of people (although many are going to be wondering why those guys get six figures for moving stuff on and off ships), but the cripple comment was a true fuckup.
  5. They have to save face, and at the same time not give anybody a reason to go after their drone and missile factories (which Russia needs). Netanyahu's speech for the Iranian people was interesting.
  6. They've never done to Hamas and Hezbollah in the past, what they've done over the past month or so - decapitated the leadership and removed a lot of institutional knowledge in such a short amount of time, and gutted their comms. And now Netanyahu seems to be saying that it's not going to stop with Hamas and Hezbollah, that Iranian leadership will potentially be coming off the bench and entering the game whether they want to or not, or at the very least, Israel will be creating some kind of divide between Iran and Hezbollah/Hamas. Whether that's stopping the weapons and money or just creating enough chaos that Hezbollah can no longer function as a proxy for Iran, who knows. But that last part is key - that is not something that Israel has done in the past, been able to disrupt the connection between Iran and Hezbollah/Hamas. And they most likely will have some help, indirect probably, from the US and other countries who want Iran taken down a few pegs to help Ukraine out.
  7. Man, I can literally pick out multiple NASCAR and short-track racetracks on that map. No, seriously, I can.
  8. He's absolutely doing that - I've got an account just to follow Ukraine and some sports stuff, and a couple of professional accounts I had to spin back up fro a website, and none of them have ever liked or retweeted or anything involving alt-right bullshit, but in the notifications Leon is promoting the hell out of MAGA. The amusing thing is with all of that money in the world, he and the people who are being promoted on twitter come off as incels. Just absolute losers. Leon has no excuse, he should be on a yacht in the Mediterranean or Caribbean with a bunch of hotties, not trying to get a bunch of bots and basement-dwelling MAGA types to like him.
  9. And grift. This "fashion" show is all about the grift.
  10. If the Ukrainians did this to a river flowing into Russia, people would lose their shit. Hell, a bunch of dispshit conspiracy theorists already believe that somehow Ukraine and the US were operating biowarfare labs on the border with Russia, but here you have literal biowarfare being openly waged against Ukraine, and they'll stick their fingers in their ears and scream "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU"
  11. People have the weirdest fucking twitter accounts
  12. Oh how I long for the days when Abbott wasn't trying to get some Yankee Democrat from New York City to notice him or trying to allow some TikTok billionaire from Pennsylvania dictate how Texas runs its schools.
  13. So we are putting up barriers between Texas and New Mexico, we have state legislators who want to prosecute women who leave the state for abortions, others who want contraception banned, and others who want to destroy public education. How else can we show how stupid we are, because there's nothing more that businesses want than a bunch of assholes who are trying to turn us into The Handmaid's Tale? https://www.kxan.com/news/texas-politics/abbott-to-host-texas-stock-exchange-business-leaders-at-governors-mansion/
  14. I couldn't even tell you who was the AG under George W Bush or Rick Perry.
  15. Russia fucking around near Alaska, and some are mad that we didn't blow them out of the sky, but also we are somehow the aggressor.
  16. Romney strapping a dog crate to the roof of his car years before he ran almost derailed his campaign. Donald Trump outright lying about an entire group of minorities? Nope, because today's GOP is letting their racist flags fly, and the media is bowing down to it, because they need the ratings.
  17. They can airdrop crates of bottles labeled "radiator fluid" (whatever the Russian equivalent is) with rat poison in them. It might kill the kids though, the adults probably have a tolerance built up.
  18. Since every accusation is a confession, I would not be surprised if Nancy Mace has a VCHP (or a "vertical clitoral hood piercing" for you heathens).
