  1. Past hour
  2. Is that thing made of butter?
  3. Today
  4. So THAT’S what lesbian foreplay looks like! I’ve always wondered.
  5. Not to mention having a strong ally like the US who could bail them out if things truly went sideways. We get plausible deniability under most circumstances and they go make next level trouble for our adversaries.
  6. https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/israel-built-and-defended-a-secret-iran-war-base-in-iraq-3590851a?mod=hp_lead_pos3 Apparently Israel set up and operated a base within Iraq without the Iraqis knowing about it. There's a reason Israel seems to always punch above their weight. When you're willing to take risks like that, and have the people trained well enough to actually carry it out, suddenly you have way more options on the table.
  7. Are what ifs open? What if you weren’t such a politically-charged hack that you could be honest instead of purposely curating/cherrypicking to make your political opponents look bad in a false way (guess you have a great future career in the MSM). What if you weren’t so retarded as to compare Trump to Mao. I mean, you have to be pretty stupid/brainwashed to make that comparison. You’re embarrassing yourself, recommend stop.
  8. Wait, where have I seen this before???
  9. That's awesome! Not a single tube of shame!
  10. Fully agree. What I'm curious about is after hostilities begin, what then? I don't see a conflict over Taiwan that doesn't expand after hostilities begin. Even if China is 100% successful in taking the island back (which I highly doubt), I don't see a scenario where the waves they make in doing so don't extend farther and result in consequences from Afghanistan to Japan. This is precisely how wars of conquest in Asia have proceeded in the past: Once the army is assembled, just keep going until defeat or complete exhaustion of the army. 'When holding a hammer, everything look like a nail' holds true in Asia. In some ways China's biggest threat is DISassembly of a massive army. All those men with training and nothing do. In that regard, Xi is almost a mitigating factor, because I have no doubt he actually does have a plan. An overthrowing mob wouldn't.
  11. That's a huge bummer for you 🤣😂
  12. Would the WaPo reporting be any different with a Democrat administration? Was there outage at the Afghanistan withdrawal with 13 killed by a VBIED? The killing of an ambassador in Libya? I don't recall the published moral outage or pronouncements of national failure for those or any other Democrat admin led military action.
  13. "This page has been blocked by Microsoft Edge"
  14. Yesterday
  15. Almost anything written about DC politics is unverifiunverifiable. Does the media go hyper/hit pieces? Yep. Can both be true? Sure. Do I think Patel would do this? Yes, he is investigating the reporter that did the story on his drinking. He may find a few agents/staff to 86 before Trump 86s Patel himself. Hunting witches is as old as politics and this admin loves them some weaponized FBI/DOJ/Etc. Case in point, sad case on Comey lining up some pebbles in the sand. And that Bondi was 86'd for failure to perscute Trump enemies sufficiently to his pleasure.
  16. Whatever you posted is not working for me, here is the direct link to the FAA. https://registry.faa.gov/TypeRatings/
  17. Articles like this are a little exhausting. It's a bunch of innuendo and reports from "anonymous sources." And pulls most of it's content from "MS Now," which I guess is the reincarnation of MSNBC? Very little of it has actual, verifiable facts. Just breathless reporting of "Patel is in full panic mode! Patel is paranoid!" etc.
  18. The funny part is you know there are people out there looking at those pictures saying "See! I told you they were real, look at that!"
  19. Nah, but is that you Tupac!?
  20. This photo is irrefutable evidence that aliens exist…….
  21. Let’s start with the definition of propaganda: “ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause.” Whose cause are they furthering and whose cause are they attempting to damage? There are easy, obvious answers to those questions. Additionally, it is written and curated to push a narrative that Iran has dealt significant blows to the US, the US has been decently hurt/licking its wounds, etc. That implied narrative is not accurate at all. There is also some 100% false stuff in it - but obviously nobody is confirming that publicly due to classification/opsec. Overall, the narrative is very misleading at best, and actually full up false in some instances (but, I won’t say the false parts are purposeful, as a journalist/think tank talking out their ass is nothing new). There’s the right, patriotic thing to do, and then there’s this bullshit. The fact you can’t see the difference is not surprising, but still disappointing.
  22. Frontier jet kills someone walking on the runway during takeoff roll.

    Out of town but will measure a few when I get home, thanks! Great idea, thank you.
  24. Someone writing something you don’t like doesn’t make it propaganda. Someone writing something anti administration doesn’t make it propaganda. Nor does it make it morally wrong. As Teddy Roosevelt said, Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. You probably are also initially upset that the NYT has correctly ID’d Chinese perceptions that the US are making poor strategic choices. Like expending half of our cruise missile inventory. archive.isChina Sees a ‘Giant With a Limp’ as U.S. Drains Weapons o...I’d reassess. It is a fact that the American people - who live in a democratic republic - deserve to know what their country is doing and have a right to impact that course. As a reminder, the Iran war is at a -20 point net favorability in this country. It is not the duty of the media to propagandize every state action and return favorability. That’s what happens in North Korea and Iran. I’d also reflect and realize that you have no counters at all to the factuality of the articles. You just attack that they exist - precisely because you can’t point out how they are wrong. It is the mark of someone who does not have a valid counter argument to devolve to calling something they don’t like propaganda. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, eh?
