"On Friday, an Iranian strike on a base in Saudi Arabia damaged one of only 17 crucial US E-3 Sentry aircraft."

I saw that "damage" ...that airframe is never flying again.

So, Elon Musk is going to leaad the charge to convince the world that the US is the kinder and friendlier nation. Really? Here is a hint. Stop threatening other nations with bombs and military takeovers. That might help. Otherwise, it is a complete waste of effort and money.

"Members of the military are worried, though; calls and applications from servicepeople inquiring about filing for conscientious objection status have reportedly surged."

LOL!- We don't do that woke shit anymore....right, young MAGA?

"I go with the punches. I sort of feel my way around. It's a minefield out there." From that interview. At least he is consistent.

I've lost too many people in the "global war on terror," and I, as could many, draw blood for this. There's no hell deep enough for this administration. I'm sorry for writing something so anodyne and purile, but I'm too sickened to be particularly clever rn.

Yeah, In 1971 I was NOT one of the 'fortunate sons' that drew high draft numbers (#37). I avoided the military and joined the Air Force......ended up in Thailand instead of the kill zone my older brother did....... 18 months '66-'68.

They should ask the names of the Iranians they're negotiating with. You know what they'll say. They can't tell us because it will endanger their lives.

How can someone with so little control over their own country and population be in any kind of position to agree to anything?

Ta, Marcie. The only name I ever want to hear Pete called is the prisoner in the dock. At The Hague, of course.

They'll attack on Friday because it's 'Good' Friday so it must be lucky.

Sat at my window watched the world

Wake up this morning

Purple sky slowly turning golden,

Distant elms so orange

You'd swear they're burning

All this flowing water

Has got my mind wandering

Do you ever finally reach

A point of knowing

Or do you just wake up one day

And say I am going?

When you're a Republican you're not responsible for knowing anything about ANYTHING. Whatever wins the moment is sufficient; it need not be consistent even with anything said in the same paragraph.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

That's why lying's so effective. All that matters is that you win the immediate argument, because you'll be out the door before anyone can call you on it.

One caveat: “Whatever appears to win at the moment”, if you please! Long term? Losers.

“his could-not-be-worse leadership style”

I suspect this assertion will not age well.

That “tweet” on war in the Middle East. Who was president in October 2019, or did I just hallucinate his first administration?

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Yeah. No. I'm afraid that's going to be a problem for me.
