  1. Well this decade is off to a shitty start.
  2. It's not getting funnier the more times you post it.
  3. Not a podcast but a website. https://www.nationalcrimesyndicate.com/corrado-giacona-new-orleans-mob-boss-1922-1944/
  4. You have no idea what you are talking about. Iran's economy is centered around three oil refineries. Their GNP shrank by ten percent last year. They have had millions of their citizens protesting their government this year due to the economy going into a nosedive. Without those refineries their economy goes into the shitter. Trump knows it, Pompeo knows it, the Iranian regime knows it and the Iranian regime knows we know it. Meanwhile the U.S. is currently the world's number one producer of fossil fuels. We don't need to buy their oil but they damn sure need someone to sell it to. Any air strike at any of those refineries cripples Iran's economy and the U.S. has the capability to take them out any time we damn well please. Iran also knows that. You can't be in a position of more strength than the U.S. is now in regards to dealing with Iran.
  5. Because Iran wasn't doing anything to destabilize the region for the last four decades before what's his name got toasted at the airport.
  6. Nope, just adding an additional thought that crossed my mind about ten hours after I made the post.
  7. There were a grand total of 11 Ukrainians on the plane and nine of them were the crew. Mostly Iranians and Canadians with a few British, Swedes, and Germans on board the plane. I could easily see Iran mistaking the plane for an American military plane and shooting it down. On the other hand it was a Boeing 737 and right now I wouldn't trust Boeing to build a kite that works like it is supposed to.
  8. Not only did he not walk through any of them, at least in some of the situations he had John Bolton whispering in his ear and he still didn't walk through any of them.
  9. I do give about a five percent chance that these missile strikes were to their retaliation what the Japanese invading the Aleutians in WWII were to their attack on Midway. A diversion to draw our attention away from where the real action is going to go down but it is only a slim possibility.
  10. The U.S. didn't put Iran in a situation where they had no choice but to respond. Iran put Iran in a situation where they had no choice but to respond. And as far as Trump being a war monger and wanting a war with Iran let's go through a bit of a time line from the last year. Iran attacks tankers in the Strait of Hormuz--no response from Trump or the U.S. Iran shoots down an American drone--no response from Trump or the U.S. Iran launches missile attack (may have been rockets I'm doing this from memory) against Saudi Arabia--no response from Trump or the U.S. There are three open doors for Trump to walk through just in the last year if he wanted a war with Iran. He didn't walk through any of them.
  11. I usually agree with you but I have to ask you if you understand that missiles can fly? You don't have to throw them at somebody like a rock.
  12. Not as intensely as he will if there are casualties (which there probably will be) but he can't ignore this. The Iranian regime interprets mercy as weakness and would be emboldened to escalate more attacks.
  13. I guess according to the New York Times barring a female reporter from a locker room is worthy of being mentioned in an obituary headline but being responsible for the deaths of over 600 American troops isn't.
  14. It was, but it was the kind of push off that gets called in Pop Warner leagues, not in OT of the playoffs in the NFL. Rudolph would have had to shove the Saints DB into a concession stand in the third deck of the Superdome to reach that level.
  15. I'm not so sure a trivia contest wouldn't have been simpler in a couple of cases this year.
  16. Eh, I'm not so sure about that. There is a difference though. The Patriots fan whininess comes from a sense of entitlement. The Saints fan whininess comes from having your heart torn out of your chest and the last image you see is the person who pulled it out taking a bite out of it. By the way, the pass was a touch underthrown. If the defender turns his head around to look for the ball he would have had an opportunity to either intercept it or knock it away push off or no push off.
  17. It's Kirk Cousins on the road in the playoffs, what is your team doing being in overtime to begin with?
