Also no one here is defending any of the shit that he's crying about. Which gets to the real point, he's just upset that we don't care as much about those things as he does. Combining the arguments of 30 different people, and then layering on conservative news media as though that somehow represents the views of anyone here, then combining all of that into one hyper-conservative Boogeyman, and naming it "you guys." And then getting upset that no one is willing to take up the mantle of the fictional debate opponent he's created. Like, what am I supposed to say about Pam Bondi's obviously stupid tweet? Politicians have been overstating their accomplishments for as long as I've been alive plus a few thousand years. Yawn.

Many wins chalked up, but for now, today, this is my favorite:

Was on a trip and didn't get to post but Thursday April 24th was the 45th anniversary of Operation Eagle Claw, the failed mission to rescue the American hostages in Iran. The mission failure led to a Joint Chiefs of Staff commission to which was established to investigate the planning, organization, and execution of the Iranian hostage rescue mission. This commission, known as the Special Operations Review Group aimed to identify areas for improvement in future special operations. The mission's failure highlighted the need for better coordination, planning, and training, ultimately leading to the creation of the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). Much of the wreckage from the mission is sitting in the same place in the desert near Tabas Iran. Following the failure the survivors exfiled to Oman, when they landed they were greeted by cases of beer and a simple note from some British Civilians at the field. The note is below and is in AFSOC HQ today.

Interesting interaction between Whitmer and POTUS this evening, with a gift from Trump?: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/macomb-county/2025/04/29/donald-trump-selfridge-air-national-guard-base-retiring-fighter-jets-macomb-county-michigan/83332234007/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJ-VKVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFWRzNlUGtoS2lNOXJ1UkRjAR4U2ZwfOo_-YOo6KhCTIxANZ1qOtgugbUamFhqUfYAiiQlwfKN5wCApyHBkVQ_aem_hOGZv8sA4ZhAwrbCXOxQig

Dodged a couple massive bullets regarding those two.

Negative Dibs Visual friendly, Tally tagert, right side open fire.

The projection, defensiveness, and grasping for straws is simultaneously hilarious and sad. Not to mention how the standard “defense” is literally whataboutism. It’s also funny how the whole group is desperately in search of “good” pieces of news to upvote and cling to, even when they aren’t good at all lmao (because let’s be honest, you guys are struggling - egg prices, really?). It’s gotten to the point where there’s no use in feeling annoyed or upset at the obvious disconnect from reality - you just feel bad for the bros who have found themselves trapped in a cult. There’s so many examples of this in action. Like in the last week how the cult - who was rightfully upset at Bidens mental downfall (this was bad and should be criticized) - is incapable of addressing similar behaviors in their own party. These include obvious false statements (the fact that the admin openly proclaims that egg prices are “down 93%”, that gas is less than $2 a gallon, and that groceries are “cheaper”), obvious classified leak double standards, or statements like the admin quadrupling down that Abrego Garcia’s knuckles LITERALLY say “MS 13,” not “interpreted.” If you’ve ever seen Beyond the Curve, it’s that. The earth must remain flat, because they can’t say it’s not without severe social repercussions. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” I challenge those of you that can to reassess some of your core assumptions and to think more critically about not just if things are true but why they are said? Why is the AG pushing a narrative that fentanyl policies literally saved a third of the population from death? Maybe it’s just a misinterpretation? Hmm.

Fifty years ago today, on April 30, 1975, the Fall of Saigon occurred with North Vietnamese forces capturing Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam marking the end of the Vietnam War. The city was subsequently renamed Ho Chi Minh City. This day is most remembered for the chaotic evacuation of American personnel and South Vietnamese allies, symbolizing the conclusion of a long and contentious conflict. Footnote: There have been a lot of similarities noted between this day and the fall of Kabul in 2021...

*dEeP iNTeL is what we really need here..

So warm em up

No Dibs. She's all yours @General Chang!

I'm thinking it could take the Hornet one circle....

Related to the theme of this thread, posted as I thought Farage described the issue very well: https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/04/28/farages-reform-set-to-spark-biggest-british-political-realignment-in-a-century-says-top-pollster/ “Capitalism is dead, it doesn’t exist, we’re living in corporatism. An unholy alliance of big business, big banks, and big government… I genuinely think we won’t get economic growth if the country is dominated by six giant multinationals, none of whom pay tax on-shore.”

"his buddy Putin?" 2016 called.....

If you can’t see the strategic vulnerability of the current supply chain given we are somewhere between weeks to single digit years from a real shooting war with CHINA, nobody here is gonna be able to help you. The Cold War victory did nothing but encourage us to outsource in ways we never would have. There is no point over the last half century where “hey let’s have the Soviet Union make all the _____ so we can buy it on the cheap” would have been an acceptable conversation either in a board room or in government.
