    This is how these fucking morons think.
    Various reports on Twitter that Iran has said this it and there will me no more if US doesn't respond. Trump has an offramp. Hope he takes it.

    I hope like hell. But I’m not counting on it.

    Gorka is a sex clown who parks his shitty V6 mustang on the sidewalk.

    I enjoyed this post. Hat-tip.
    Fox News pumping for escalating things. Calling for the US to launch cruise missiles and target Iranian oil facilities and missile launch sites. 

    Fox News is a fucking terrorist organization.
  2. They are paying extremely close attention and while they don’t like the Democratic Party they seem to view the GOP as an existential threat.

    This. My kids are jaded, and don’t trust shit from any authority figure...but they know the GOP is shit. Seriously, they are of a demographic that should at least be potential GOP voters, and I’m confident that neither of them will ever vote for a GOP candidate for any office, down to dogcatcher.

    They see the GOP as the party of war, cruelty, and racism - which isn’t hard, as they fucking brag about that shit.

    Let's be clear 

    These attacks were against Iraqi installations housing US personnel. I honestly don't know if they originated from Iranian soil or were carried out in Iraq but Shia Iraqi citizens.

    The target was no doubt the US personnel but the big problem that Iraq has here is from a political sense as a "sovereign" nation they have to nip this in the bud or it could quickly devolve into a crack up of the regions. 

    Maybe that's what they want and in the end is for the best in my opinion but you can't vote out the US one day and the next have attacks like these without an Iraqi response and expect anyone to value your parliament/government.

     

    And...THAT'S how you end up with a region-wide conflict.

    But, I mean, a single assassination has NEVER set off a powder keg before.....

    Actually, I think Donald Trump unilaterally starting regional wars far exceeds the sum of our fears.

    Actually, it doesn't.  This is EXACTLY the kind of thing we feared.  We also fear that it can and will get worse.

    If Iran scores TOO big a hit, Trump is going to feel like he has no choice but to go big.  Understand, with crystal fucking clarity, that the use of nuclear weapons is on the table here.  Remember...

    “Several months ago, a foreign policy expert went to advise Donald Trump,” Scarborough said. “And three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons — three times he asked. At one point, ‘If we have them, why can’t we use them?’”

    Trump is a fucking insane idiot. I get that. 
     

    I was just hoping Iran would get it too and wait a year for a us to have a new president.   

    They couldn't.  They have a country to lead, govern, and answer to.  "We'll wait till shit cools down" is a politically indefensible position inside Iran.  Not striking back was not an option.

    But it won’t for America. we aren’t doing another ground invasion.     All this is going to do is give war hawks a reason to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age.   I don’t see what they get from this. 

    Flag-waving rallies, Toby Keith songs, and an argument that you can't vote against a sitting president in a TIME OF WAR!  That's what this gets them.  And if it means we gotta lose a buncha US soldiers, and kill tens of thousands of poor fucking Iranians, well tough shit, cuz AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!

    Shitbag wrapping himself in the flag even on his way out.

    Banging your mistress and doing shots of Patron for the troops. Solid gig

    Wrapping himself in the flag....by bragging about how he fought for war criminals who were loathed by their own unit-mates.  Real prince, he is.

    Well I have my first documented case of Cedar Fever Shits caused by the massive amount of snot draining into my digestive system. I am literally crapping out cedar pollen infused snot and it burns my b-hole in a way I cant describe. 

    Fucking kill me now. 

    I think I saw "Cedar Pollen-Infused Snot" play at Raoul's back in the day.  They were loud.

  9. Some of you may have known or listened to him over the years.  He was fantastic - 5 minutes of him on the piano, close your eyes, and you were taken to someplace different.  Sudden, unexpected death.  Shitty.

    Rich Harney, a widely respected pianist, composer and recording artist who was an integral part of Austin’s jazz community for decades, died Sunday evening in Kyle. He was 65.

    Harney had been scheduled to perform at the Elephant Room on Sunday night but wasn’t feeling well and was taken by his wife to a Kyle hospital, where his heart stopped, friend and fellow musician Elias Haslanger said Monday.

    Harney, who was born June 7, 1954, began making music in Austin in the 1970s, frequently with saxophonist Alex Coke, who became a lifelong musical collaborator. The two teamed up over the years in outfits including the Worthy Constituents and Countenance, recognized in a 1990 Musician magazine contest seeking the nation’s best unsigned bands.

    Harney also was a longtime presence in the music ensemble at First Presbyterian Church in Northwest Hills, where he played his last gig on Sunday morning. He was part of its long-running holiday performance of the Dylan Thomas short story “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.” Singer Suzi Stern, who also appeared in that holiday show, shared fond memories of Harney on Monday in a public post to social media.

    “My first ‘real’ gig in Austin was with Rich and Alex Coke about 43 years ago,” she wrote. “We played too many gigs together to count. He played at my wedding and I sang at his, we were honored by the mayor together at City Hall, we did over a decade of Dylan Thomas’ ‘A Child’s Christmas In Wales’ performances together every December with Alex, and we were planning next year’s reunion performances. He will be so missed.”

    Harney played piano onstage and on record with countless local artists. He also issued several records of his own, including 1983′s “The Promise,” 2008′s “Where Love Begins” and 2012′s “Solitaire” as well as albums with singer Beth Ullman in the 1990s.

    A fixture at the Elephant Room, Austin’s longtime haven for local jazz musicians, Harney also was a familiar sight in recent years playing piano for country guitarist Redd Volkaert’s Saturday afternoon shows at the Continental Club.

    Harney helped to mentor Haslanger when the young saxophonist was just beginning his career in jazz. “Some of my earliest memories of trying to play jazz were with Rich,” he said Monday. “Through the years we developed a close personal friendship and musical relationship.

    “He was a brilliant musician and a lovely person. It’s going to be a huge hole in the community for us.”

    Anyway, thought some folks around here should know.
