Apparently, Team Red likes to fuck.
Clone this motherfucker and put him in charge of every country in the world.
Next step is now in progress. I doubt Iran is going to blink. Unless someone takes the Ayatollah off the top of the decision tree.
And the answers remain consistent. Another off the rails nutter.

Yes. More Mileis.
Whatever happened to Frank? I never see him around. He is a retired B-2 pilot, isn’t he? Also, blowing up the bunker with the Uranium in it wont solve the problem. It needs to be taken away from them.
MAGA madman. They just cant help themselves.
I dropped into the comments over at Instapundit. Holy crap, are the MAGA war boners raging. Huge, throbbing, lasting more than 4 hours, should probably see a doctor.
I asked if maybe Congress should declare war before we start bombing other countries.
Apparently not.
How do they know he was MAGA? Or is it just slander?
“Her targeted Democrats, so he MUST have been MAGA!”/prog logic
(“Her” s/b “He,” of course.) 🙄
Transphobe!
It is stated in the headline without any evidence or mention in the article.
“Catherine Bouris is a night reporter for The Daily Beast, based in Sydney, Australia. She has previously worked as a writer for Ebaum’s World focusing on internet culture, and as a contributing editor at We Got This Covered. As a freelance writer, her work has appeared in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Saturday Paper, Crikey, Thrillist and Junkee.”
I was expecting that level of writing to come from a Columbia School of Journalism graduate.
That was my point. Saying MAGA is shorthand for saying “them”, and is just a way to slander a movement/president/ideology.
Nothing says MAGA like taking direction from . . . *checks notes* . . . Tim Walz.
Don’t stick it in crazy.
This still sounds like you need permission from the government.
They don’t have a 2A is my guess.
And when the next commie is elected, boat sales will be off the charts as will be boating accidents.
I’m having trouble believing he authorized the sale of machine guns. I’m guessing the author knows nothing about guns and screwed this up.
Dammit, you’re probably right.
*cancels flight to Argentina*
As with Hank Johnson I fear that the additional weight of the B-2 will cause Guam to tip over or at least start a slant that will cause things to slide off as the island tries to right itself.
Good point. *takes notes*
And if it doesn’t does that mean it’s a ‘wrong’ island and will sink when harpooned?
“MAGA madman”
It’s easy to see how a hard core MAGA robot would think helping Walz get a Senate seat would be the smart play.

Folks from Southern California flock to Mammoth’s Lakes Basin for hiking, camping and fishing — in Mammoth, outdoor recreational tourism contributes more than 70% of the dollars in the town’s general fund, according to Mayor Chris Bubser.
Obviously, diversifying the local economy must be prohibited.
Because no one ever goes skiing at a private resort.
“Because no one ever goes skiing at a private resort.”
Well, I’ve never been. And I also didn’t vote for Nixon. No one else did, either. (So I’m told?) So add ’em up. No one ever has. So there.
“It bypasses existing protections, and it sells off huge swaths of land without proper process to get public input,” said Katie Hawkins, California program director for Outdoor Alliance. “That is very different from anything that we have ever experienced before.”
Wow. That was fast.
I bought my property next to federal land because it wouldn’t be developed. How dare you let someone develop land next to me.
Here’s why that’s a good thing.
BTW, The legislation says that land would be nominated for sale by state and local government officials in the states affected. Sales would not be made in contradiction to states’ wishes.
So the green weenies can whine to their state legislatures if they object (and they will) to “pristine” scrubland being sold off.
Preach.
All the surviving Indian tribes should claim ownership because the innumerable land acknowledgements uttered by various government officials in recent years indicate that titles to the land in question were improperly transferred.
And why not. The left would get down on its knees in support of this.
The tribes in my area are based af so I’m in favor of giving them back the whole damn state.
5.1 magnitude Earthquake hit Tehran. Either a hell of a coincidence, Yahweh’s wrath, or a nuclear test. You decide.
They had two yesterday. Both were six miles down.
Project Destiny.
The Jews did it or we did at the behest of the Jews is an option I left off.
If it’s six miles down then I would think it’s an earthquake. Unless G-d has finally had it with the ayatollah.
Anyone who has taken a quick look at a map should be surprised they dont have quakes every month or so.
Apparently they suffer from 15 or so magnitude quakes a year and like a thousand smaller ones. So very well could be a coincidence though location and timing raise eyebrows.
Is it so hard to believe someone who is friends with school shooters is friends with other kinds of shooters as well?

Team Red doesn’t like to murder their offspring quite like Team Blue.

“better looking”
Not me. Why do you think I have long hair and a beard?
Or… the people who “know the land best” can put their money where their mouths are and be the highest bidder when the land comes up for sale.
And if the high bidder is some REIT that’s going to build a resort / condoplex with lake views and easy access to the marina and ski slopes, then good on ’em.
So much this.
And if the high bidder is some REIT that’s going to build a resort / condoplex with lake views and easy access to the marina and ski slopes, then good on ’em.

God DAMNIT. No. Not again.
“This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!”
Sigh…
Unintended consequences, WTF?
We in fact, stuck it in crazy
Honestly, who amongst us hasn’t?
Always stick it in First and get out First. No time for crazy.
Well, Trump has lost me. He went from being a fuck you to the deep state to their clown puppet.
I like your character arc to full blown ZH commentor.
Are you calling me an anti-Semite? Why I never!
I have generally been accused of being too pro-Israel by some. I completely support Isreal’s right to defend itself. Just not with my tax dollars. This has nothing to do with the US.
I do fully believe that Israel has dirt on our politicians and controls many of them. Call that what you will, but there’s no other good explanation for why we act as if they are, in fact, the 51st state.
Do you have any explanation why some sliver of land in the Middle East with no real resources and relatively little strategic significance is worth so many headaches to us outside religious fairy tales such as Tex Cruz was spouting off about?
If I was Israel, I’d sure as shit be collecting dirt on our political class because their survival depends on it. It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s actually in a roundabout way a credit to Israel and what I think they’re capable of and willing to do to survive.
I have a lot of respect for their ability to even continue to exist.
But unless you can give me some satisfactory answer to the above questions that I have never considered, I’m going to stick with my crackpot theories here regardless of what anyone wants to call me.
Thought I was responding to Chafed, but it’s Ownbestenemy. Even better.
Another fact – I could sit here and call Epstein’s island an Israeli honeypot with little criticism here, but when you actually look for real world consequences of said espionage, like influencing our political class, that’s a bridge too far for some.
Christian guilt/messiahism, Holocaust guilt, large family and cultural ties to the US, only remaining westernized country in the region, non-barbarian, etc etc in addition to deep involvement and alignment with US politics.
I’m too cynical to believe that most of our reps give a fuck about Christianity so much that they really believe Isreal needs to be protected as the chosen people. Same with Holocaust guilt.
I could buy their “familial” ties to the US are a factor, but that’s flirting pretty close with Jews rule the world shit if you ask me. Because these people sure as shit don’t care that some middle class Jewish family’s grandma still resides in Israel. Jews are one of the smaller minorities that matter in this country at that.
Western culture? I mean, I suppose that’s something. You think that’s enough to justify our extreme allegiance to this little shred of land?
Deep involvement in US politics…is kind of another way of saying that they interfere with our politics which is what I’m arguing.
Maybe they don’t own Trump, but I’d wager they have dirt on a number of politicians. Can I definitely prove that outside connecting loosely connected dots? Of course not.
See, that Bro, we can discuss. They lobby…hard. That we can see. I mean, they tried to get Massie primaried and failed cause while we can see American’s are absolutely terrible at picking its leaders, sometimes, they see through the bullshit.
Gotdamit
Still the most libertarian president ever?
Sadly in my life.
It’s no consolation that Biden or Harris would have done the same.
I don’t believe they would have. That’s the saddest thing.
Does that mean this was the right thing to do then?
Here’s how I see it:
1. Israel doesn’t fuck with Iran if a Democrat is in power because they’d be receiving lukewarm support at best.
2. Israel fucking owns Trump. He is their puppet and I don’t even want to hear denials at this stage.
Maybe the same exact sequence of events would have played out with whatever the Democrap option was, but the Obama years demonstrated that they have no actual opposition to war unless there’s a chance to poo-poo the Republicans over it. I think there’s a real chance we could have been in a hot war with Russia if they had won.
It doesn’t make Trump’s Iran idiocy OK by any means, but Tom Woods has been proven right: “No matter who you vote for, you get John McCain’s foreign policy”.
* would NOT have played out with a Democrat in power
It’s a Deep State, Akira, and you don’t get a vote on it.
Best case scenario right now – Iran tries to respond, but can’t because Israel controls the air space over their shithole. Their last attack on Israel was a joke that relied on drones and missiles, and only one drone could get through to launch a pitiful attack on a house that was partially damaged.
This could be what Trump is banking on.
I see no way Iran doesn’t at least have to try and respond. They’d look so ridiculously weak after launching threats for the last week about what would happen if Trump joined in.
Iran doesn’t appear capable of responding. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria are no longer a threat. The Houthis rely on Iran for their firepower. They are not getting resupplied. Russia made clear it isn’t stepping in. I doubt it could if it wanted to since it’s bogged down in Ukraine. Iran can probably organize some small terrorist attacks in the west. They don’t appear capable of much else.
Chafed, I’d agree.
But what’s the goal if not regime change here, and what sort of mess does that create? It’d be Libya on steroids if the Ayatollahs fall. Mark my words – what comes next will be worse if that’s the route they go.
Does Trump stop here or does he escalate, particularly if Iran tries to respond?
And most importantly, what the fuck does America stand to win in all of this? There’s nothing of note. It’s not even worth the price of the bombs dropped today to us.
Maybe we should just annex Israel and start making them pay taxes for this shit.
They aren’t going to leave an embittered and humiliated Iranian government intact. It will now always be a looming threat if you ask me.
It’s all fucking retarded. It’ll end up another Libya with refugees and warlords right in the center of the Middle East which is already a cauldron of steaming shit.
It will be worse than the Ayatollahs who were a minor thorn in our side outside when we we were fucking around where we didn’t belong in the first place.
I remember the Gulf of Tonkin alleged incident too well. Iraq is not like Viet Nam, it’s a desert, not a jungle, 20 years later with troops still deployed.
Same movie, different players.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYii6nxhvUk
I don’t have a sunshine and rainbows answer for you. I took Islamist terrorists and their state sponsors with a grain of salt before 9/11. Since then, I believe them when they say they want to kill us. Iran has called us the great Satan since the ayatollah took over. The regime is controlled by end of the world religious fanatics. They were working towards building nuclear bombs. Some were intended to be used on Israel. Some were intended for us. What we got out of dropping bunker busters on Fordow was ending that threat for the foreseeable future.
I have no idea if Trump wants regime change. I’m not aware of a worse group than the mullahs in Iran. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist. I may be ignorant. But if the mullahs were the worst, then perhaps a new regime would be better for us, Iranian people, and Iran’s neighbors.
Good campfire song, 4Score!
Look fats, Trump is going to address the nation on this and explain why it’s the bestest, most smartest thing ever done, (some are saying it’s the greatest presidential act ever) in less than an hour, the least you assholes could do is wait to hear from him before criticizing his genius.

Congress shouldn’t be let off the hook for this shit either. War Powers Act and AUMF’s that are broad gave presidents this ‘power’ and now we will see the handwringing from people who have no intellectual principles in the matter.

Oh, I totally agree with you, but it had delegated is power 1000x over.
Ditto on that too.
If I’m going to be called an anti-Semite on the downlow, I’d appreciate an actual response, OBE.
Point to where I called you that. I just said you gone full ZH commentator. You feeling guilty or something?
And what exactly does that mean when you compare someone to a commenter on one of the most notoriously anti-Semitic comment sections on the internet?
I dunno, laying claim that all that is happening is the Jews pulling on the marionette strings. Just saying what I see.
Then don’t deny it like a little coward and just say what you want to say.
If you can give me a reason why Isreali’s defense is so god damn important to our leadership, I’m ALL EARS.
On top of that, I don’t even take offense with what you said. Geopolitics is a messy game.
*shaking in my boots*
You weren’t threatened. I simply called you a little coward. Say what you want to say or don’t say anything. Innuendo is just bitchy.
Fine. You’re a a little bitch, always have been. Things go wrong, well it must be that X is owned by the Jews. No other explanation. Its lazy and tired. So if that isn’t a stereotypical ZH commentor, then whatever.
I see this more as a payback for military talking heads hiding info from Trump on the Syria thing. Doesn’t make it right, I mean, we are on the same side here. Its ego. Trump is making sure he is swinging America’s balls onto Iran’s chin. Stupid – yep.
Do I think Israel called and said do it or Ill fucking spank you? No.
Hey, I’m glad you engaged with the questions posed. That’s progress.
I find the explanation lacking. Trump never suffered for not involving us deeper into Syria. Even now, the media basically cheered when Assad fell and there was no blowback against Trump from any serious corners. I don’t see why he’d particularly care about some Neocon criticism received.
The guy just got up there and basically admitted this was to defend Israel. His only other answer was some weak stuff about revenge for attacks in Iraq that were conducted with Iranian arms.Which was over a decade ago now. Might as well have referenced the Iranian hostage crisis while he was at it.
Do you believe Epstein was an Israeli asset? I sure as fuck do.
I think Epstein was an Israeli agent as much as I believe in firsting.
So, yes?
Epstein was someone’s asset. The guy went from being a private school teacher to just falling into managing the money of a guy who was deeply connected to Israel who had no reason to hire Epstein in the first place (Leslie Wexler). We’re talking about hundreds of millions of dollars put in his hands. He had a serious relationship with the former Israeli PM.
We’ll never get confirmation of this, but the circumstantial evidence suggests he was someone’s asset.
God damn Rubio’s ears are huge. Lets see if its really a one and done.
Well, thank goodness Trump did something admirable after all.
Well, not really. He took credit for a couple bombs. Israel has dealt with horrendous backlash after a brilliant campaign. America helped. Super. Trump wants credit for everything. Super. Israel is smart to feed his ego, but let’s be real, Israel has covered 99% of this non-war
Which means if I am reading the entrails correctly that this is not Afghanistan 2.0.
Correct.
Well another goddamn war boner POTUS. You couldn’t let the Israeli who have plenty of casus belli for an expanded war with Iran fight their war without us getting sucked into offensive operations against Iran- a nation we have no to very weak reasons to go to war with. I get they were behind plenty of attacks on US attacks during Iraq 2.0, but when that war ended that cause for war ended. Yes, their aligned militias have attacked US bases located in Iraq and Syria, but we have been responding against those ineffectual attacks proportionally and have killed many time more of them. Ditto for Huthis.
By attacking the Iranian strategic assets with non-deniable means you just initiated a war you dumb asshole. If you wanted to do that you MUST go to Congress and get permission BEFORE you do it. Something you failed to do. Even if doing so would have sent a huge message to the Iranian government to try a last chance at diplomacy. You didn’t even ask for a fig leaf from the UN. You now own this mess you dumb MFer. Congress will get a chance to give dumb looks.
No Euro nation will join, and they are all probably thinking about when to tell you that the US can’t launch offensive missions, or refueling, or resupply, etc. through their soil. The Arab states will be hedging as well unless you go in big and long because they are in close proximity of the wounded and angry Perian lion and they don’t trust us to cut and run.
Our munitions are already in Ukraine and Israel in large numbers and our factories aren’t making replacements at appropriate rates- and can’t for years if at all.
WTF were you thinking?
WTF were you thinking?
That it will be the biggest, most beautiful, most tremendous, most amazing war of all time. Everybody is talking about how great it is. Truly a masterstroke. The best. Everyone knows it.
He isn’t thinking, he’s listening to Mark Levin and the other neocon scum who are pumping him up and are telling him it’ll help his numbers. Goodbye political capital and goodbye domestic agenda via a wipeout in the midterms that’ll be epic followed by an impeachment that I hope sticks this time. No matter who you vote for you get McCain, it’s true.
I dunno. It seems even MSM is lining up behind this for now
Relax. Hannity just assured the country this was the right thing to do
I was feeling alright about it until you said that.
McCain is leading a chorus of “Bomb Iran”.
In Hell
Well, yeah.
I’m pretty sure every Sunni regime is quietly delighted by what happened.
I’m 100% with you that Trump needed Congressional authorization that he didn’t have.
I agree. Huge mistake for Trump. He should have asked Congress. Iran would’ve gone back to negotiations. The last impeachments were BS, but if Congress doesn’t impeach him for this then we’re even further along the end of the Republic. You know, everybody thinks of Rome, and how the Republic became the Empire, but I don’t think the USA would follow that template. Trump himself is way too old to become Ceasar. I think the danger is a figurehead controlled by others… like the Biden administration. Harris would’ve been the same. I’m thinking the late Empire, where the Imperial Guard controlled the emperors. One more reason to keep power from being concentrated in the Executive.
Narrator: Congress is not going to impeach him for this.
I agree its impeachable and should be done..but Trump’s team weighed it against Biden, Obama, Bush and is like…ya? So what?
He won’t be impeached for this but he will be impeached because this splits his coalition and there will be a wipeout in the midterms. Then the Dems will find a reason, probably related to immigration and deportations but I honestly don’t even care anymore. I hope they manage to succeed actually.
I will say…quite successful in military OpSec on this one. Slight of hand, deception, etc. Also, not that we needed to, but showing we can launch from midland United States and later that evening bomb the shit out of something is quite the message.
Just should have gotten Congress involved.
The WPA of 1974 screwed that up, 60 days until he has to present to congress or shut down. So he does Fordow and steps back, if so Im good with it.
One of the problems Yusef is that Iran gets a vote on ending this. This may well be more than 9/11 or 07Oct for the Iranians. I am confident they will strike out at American targets in the region, and through their embassies and maybe sleeper cells throughout the world. The AQ shitheads hit some symbolic targets and probably were surprised by their catastrophic success in NYC. We launched 20 years of war in the ATO and *+ years against a country that had nothing to do with the attacks. Israel suffered a huge hit, proportional to population, but again the attack hit nothing of strategic value. They are still fighting hard in Gaza and have ramped up operations shortly before they started on Iran- plus took out Hezbollah as a factor for multiple years. The news is reporting that WE, not Israel, without warning (like Pearl Harbor) struck targets of enormous strategic value and cost. Somethings dear to Persia pride. These fuckers and Rome fought for centuries even before they went Shia. I am willing to bet dollars to donuts we did not completely destroy those facilities- so that means restrikes. So more reasons to get pissed off. The Iranians already have posted online that the highly enriched materials were already removed from the three facilities. So that almost weapons grade uranium is out there somewhere and maybe be rapidly processed at a facility(ies) that we know exist but since they are undeclared we don’t know where they are or their capabilities. Can the Iranians sprint to a bomb? Who knows, I don’t think even the Israelis know. Once they have it, they have plenty of reasons to use it. Remember it doesn’t need to be missile capable. Suicide aircraft, smuggled in by sea, or who know how is good enough.
We have a smattering of bases spread out in Iraq and Syria. (Why? That is a different rant.) The common thread, lots of non-combat arms types with a smattering of security forces. From Oct 2023 to fall of 2024 the bases took infrequent and small indirect fires attacks. We batted those away and killed lots of people at or near the POOs (Points of Origin). We had only 2-3 KIAs and a small number wounded in all. Now those bases are all vulnerable to attack including pissed of ground assaults. It is hard to defend small bases against people determined to die in the attempt. People that the Iranians told back last fall to knock it off. People that would nothing love more than to fuck the corpse of American soldiers, male or female, dead or alive. That means we need to have lots of USAF ready to drop plenty of bombs “danger close” to try and break up attacks. Attacks to be launched at the time, and place, of the enemies choosing.
You would think that OMB, even if he is not aware of history, would be able to look at the current Israel/HAMAS situation and realize the old truth. One side can start a war but both sides have to agree to end it.
Congress isn’t a functioning entity anymore, especially when it comes to war. They like not bearing a share of the blame if things go south.
Absolutely correct.
This is Day 1, it ain’t over ’til its over.
Another reason for the protesters to do what they do best.
Congress is full of fucking commies.
Well, I bet the North Koreans now feel pretty smart about getting nuclear weapons.
Wekk ou would, right?
Well, the ruling family. Their subjects don’t seem to be benefiting very much.
No shit but only the stupidest of the stupid haven’t learned that lesson already.
Not that I want us to do anything, but their capabilities are…wanting. Im sure they are thinking well shit, we should shut up for a couple of months.
Would it help if Trump told Tehran, “Hey- remember that shit you pulled in 1979 with 52 of our citizens?”

In other non-nuclear news, Dad is going through chemo and is actually remaining very lively and healthy by all appearances. But a cadre of relatives (including me) have decided to take turns staying over here for a few days at a time to make sure he takes his meds, follows the care regimen, and doesn’t overdo it. Caught him mowing the fucking lawn already and had to deport him with no due process back inside the house and finish mowing myself.
It’s truly weird being back in your childhood home following your parent around making sure they eat healthy, don’t do things that are dangerous to their health, and go to bed on time.
Prayers and thoughts Akira on your dad’s journey.
Thank you. The doctor said it was caught very early and hasn’t spread yet, so that’s good of course.
That’s good news.
Hah! I’m having to talk to my wife in nurse/baby voice to make sure she’s eating the hospital food.
Haha, sometimes I do “here comes the airplane” to my wife when I’m trying to get her to try some new food (I’m the one who eats “weird” food and she eats “normal” food).
There are only a few things I won’t eat: okra, raisins, shrimp heads, crawfish heads, sea cucumbers, coffee, high sugar foods (I’m pre-diabetic).
Oh I LOVE okra – boiled and dressed up with a little butter and salt… I’ll eat it up, slime and all.
I’ve never eaten crustacean heads, but I’ve made stock out of them.
We could all use less sugar, honestly.
“There are only a few things I won’t eat: okra, raisins, shrimp heads, crawfish heads, sea cucumbers, coffee, high sugar foods (I’m pre-diabetic).”
I’ll disagree on shrimp and crawfish heads, and hell no on no coffee coffee. Okra can kiss my ass.
Glad it was caught early. But I wouldn’t baby him too much. But he’s your Dad, you know him far better than I.
Sean- thanks for the reminder for dealer tires. They were the cheapest but not by much and were a week out plus several hours to change. Discount Tire was next day and in/out in under 45 minutes. All taken care of.
Do you have Les Schwab in your area?
Of course! Company started in Prineville. This is home turf with a Schwab on every block. But it’s a sad shell of itself since the old man died and his handpicked successor retired (and died also), and the family sold out. Truthfully they’d been going downhill for years. Tires were always expensive and still are. Lots of pressure to upsell and shady shit.
Still do a great job on flat repairs. That’s where I went first.
I’m surprised by your experience. Schwab has always been great for me.

I’d like to know if our bombs destroyed Fordow. Seems important to the discussion.
Day light coming…my guess we’ll know in a couple hours.
If the bombs were ineffective, it would not be publicized. Think back to Desert Storm and all the videos that were shown of bombs hitting targets.
+1 Patriot Missile which actually wasn’t hitting shit. If the attack didn’t work they’ll fake it.
Here is a photo of what the site looks like.

The building that is above ground is likely to host support functions and not be part of the enrichment facility. It looks like there are two tunnels in and out.
The article says that the bombs can penetrate 200 feet (20 stories) before exploding. Subsequent bombs can penetrate even farther.
Even if the bombs don’t get all the way down to the facility (I think read that it is 600 ft down), ingress and egress are totally fucked to twenty stories deep.
Well, you know, if it makes all the same to you, let’s not worry about and maybe hurrah the Shah, you know?
Been following the fireworks since the fall of Iran, and also Inshahallah James Clavell, right? And the rightful return of the Prince Heir of the Shah. But really, the Iranian helicopter service spelled out by James Clavell.
Been celebrating James Clavell and mourning the fall of the Shah of Iran since 1979, and also around 2003ish when I finally read Whirlwind, again by James Clavell. The most terrific novel that precipitated the fall of the Iranian Mullahs and the Ayatollah.
No earlier than 1986, when I Was born.
Possibly later than 2003? I can’t remember. Maybe 2005?
Anyway, the Iranian women were sexy and they were hot for Western helicopter pilots.
We’re seeing the last of a death cult of Islamist theocrats and perhaps the return Tehran travel??
We can all travel safely to Syria and Libya now. Praise Yahweh.
Not yet. Closing in. Inshaclavell.
4/9/1865 – Confederacy effectively goes down for the count. Wild celebrations.
4/15/1865 – Lone wacko gets revenge.
Now – some blow back can be expected.
I have always been darkly amused by Lincoln dying on my birthday but the Titanic sinking was also impressive.
Nice. Sic semper tyrannis.
Let’s see what other famous people were born on my birthday… Pompey, Horatio Nelson, Gene Autry…
Oh shit, here’s one that counts:
1881 – Ludwig von Mises, Austrian-American economist, sociologist, and philosopher (died 1973)
Elizabeth Montgomery.
*mic drop*
Who??
Gene Autry
If only he survived for a few more years to see the Angels win.
I’ve got Burl Ives and some other somewhat more famous people.
Apropos of nothing obviously
When cartoons where brave
Alright but for real, let’s see if it makes any difference. I hate this cunty thing Trump has done seizing on Israel’s achievements and then, at the eleventh hour, pretending he’s responsible for for any of it. Israel has borne this undertaking and suffered for it. America has done nothing but shoot some missiles out of the sky. To the extent the US helped the Iron Dome: amazing. I love it. I want to see more of it. But let’s be realistic, Trump showing up now to bomb Fordow and wherever else: does not make up for the ballistic missile nightmare Israelis have been suffering for the past week.
I get that it’s the deal when dealing with Trump: he gets credit, regardless. This venal fucking shrinking violet cunt gets credit when things go well. So now Trump gets to take credit for dropping a couple fucking bunker busters. Despite being nowhere to be found for the past week. Despite pretending to be all about making a deal.
…
You wish he did more? The expressed opinion around here is mad he did anything.
I’m waiting to see how any of this negatively impacts any of us.
Fuck, I wasn’t thrilled about it last night, but I’m already over it. 🤷🏼♂️
Israel got us drawn into a war they knew they couldn’t finish when they started it but they acted reckless knowing we’d back them up. Israel doesn’t deserve any credit and neither does the orange retard.
You nailed Trump’s M. O.
This is what I wake up to?
Fuck.
Evil never sleeps.
The price of empire is your soul.
I just heard the coffee maker ‘ding’.
Thunder rumbling overhead in advance of the heatwave. Mid-to-upper 90s for the next three days.
The AC in the Jeep is 🥶, plus the ventilated seats = 😎

TALL SABBATH CANS!
Good morning, homey, Ted’S., Sean, Suthen, and Stinky!
It’s pretty steamy here at Tranq Base already, so we’ll see how long I stay out here.
Remember mornings like today when you want to complain about it being too cold to go out to Tranquility Base. :-p
Glad I got the grass cut yesterday.
