  1. I am skeptical that it’s a major military action but could be wrong. I think it’s more likely to “present” the new domestic first security posture and begin ushering out GOFOs who want to be American officers and not Trump’s officers.
  2. America is being run like a business— that’s been acquired by private equity and is being stripped for parts. This isn’t exactly new— corporate America has long treated their sector that way— but it’s now the entrenched worldview of the highest level of government. Anything of value or functioning is going to be seen by the regime as a failure—because it represents a loss of short term profit to keep it. It’s best to adjust accordingly and try to make out as best as you can in the coming years. Look for exposed copper wiring.
  3. Theo Von: Wait, no, I just wanted to dog whistle. Not really whistle.
  4. So fortunate we have a VPOTUS to remind Zelenskyy to say thank you and now Jimmy to say sowwy. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5520203-kimmel-apology-charlie-kirk-comments/amp/
  5. This depends on a lot of definitions including “slavery” and “nations.” We were well behind the European nations we consider peers but something resembling what we call “slavery” existed in many places after U.S. abolition and only disappeared via more or less coercion from European powers and especially the British.
  6. It’s important to understand that efficiency was not the goal, the goal (as with almost everything) is to demonstrate that the president has complete power that he can exercise arbitrarily and to accustom Americans to the idea that it’s normal.
  7. I’m not wondering about the actual people who did this. Who selected the image, who got it printed and framed. I imagine the actual hanging was some WH maintenance person who needs the paycheck. Imagine taking a job in the admin and you get told to do this, or worse, think of the idea.
  8. Even if everything the FBI and admin is saying is one hundred percent true— this group has been releasing poorly doctored images and telling blatant falsehoods for years over things far less important. That’s indisputable. The environment of skepticism and conspiracy mongering and disbelief is entirely of their own making. Almost like there is a millennia old fable about how no one will believe you if you tell lies too many times.
  9. More to do with having a standard procedure for determining which religious instruction class children will attend, which is compulsory in Austria. And includes Islam as well which has been officially recognized and had official state instruction since before the Austrian Republic because of Bosnia in the old empire.
  10. Tens if not hundreds of millions of rifles were made in WWII (8MM Mauser included, it was the standard Heer cartridge). I don’t know how many mid-century oddities I’ve seen, usually held by collectors who believe they have something special. A nut who fired wildly at a government facility using some strange old thing that was likely lying around at home seems the least weird part of this.
  11. There is plenty of surplus of this stuff floating around. Plus, we don’t know for sure yet.
  12. There are all sorts of weird guns floating around and likely this was a weird person.
  13. Europeans produce new rifles chambered in that round for hunting and it’s decently common in Germany and environs.
  14. Could be .308? Or the NATO 7.62x51 which is used in some sniper rifles.
  15. We run budget deficits and have the world’s largest and best financial market. There is no problem we have that a SWF will solve except the lack of a vehicle for for blatant cronyism.
  16. Colorado’s gold hats and pants are so much better than all black.
  17. A&M to wear 1975 throwbacks against Gata. The Manziel era uniforms were similar but this is so much better without the beveled numbers. The 70s era adidas logo is a nice touch.
  18. Bucs: This is the best uniform combo in the NFL. No, we won’t make them our regular look, idiot.
  19. The cutoff for their plot was July 4 and that happened in August. These two are at MIT and CSIS and have called out RW violence for years. Getting angry at academics when data doesn’t align with priors is the dark MAGA way. ”RW violence dips when extremists believe the state is implementing their agenda” is its own troubling and plausible thesis. I imagine Islamic terror I in Afghanistan has dipped since the Taliban took over and I don’t see that as either comforting or a positive commentary on the Taliban.
  20. The gym I go to is in a development with a long parking lot running horizontal to the main road. One end (exit) has a double striped yellow line and the other (entrance) has a left turn lane. Probably 75 percent of the time I’m stuck behind a dipshit turning across the double stripe instead of using the turn lane.
  21. It’s only terrorism if it comes from the terror region in France; otherwise it’s just sparkling political violence.
  22. I just got done filling out this fun rapture survey about my first car, my high school mascot, my best man, and my childhood pets name. Now ready to go!
  23. I think a lot of plans elect the most conservative for you automatically because people who don’t pay attention to their shit are the ones most likely to throw a fit if they check one day and have “lost” money.
  24. I remember the shirt and it did cause a small shitstorm. But no one cared after a 12-2 season and beating Notre Dame in a bowl and no one cares now. They care about ridiculous beat downs to Oregon and losing to Tulsa at home.
