    Lookie lookie, seems I'm not the only one thinking along this line. Posted today: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/iran-trump-taco-play/683271/ Quote: President Donald Trump is being pulled toward war in the Middle East by his predator’s eye for a victim’s weakness and his ego’s need to claim the work of others as his own. But since his “unconditional surrender” social-media post on Tuesday, other Trump instincts have asserted themselves: above all, his fear of responsibility. Trump enjoys wielding power. He flinches from accountability. Days ago, Trump seemed to hunger for entry into Israel’s war. A dramatic victory seemed poised to tumble into somebody’s lap. Why not his? But as the hours passed, Trump reconsidered. Instead of acting, he postponed. He said that a decision would come within “two weeks.” Time for diplomacy to work? Perhaps that might be the case in another administration. In this one, as attentive Trump watchers have learned, the “two weeks” promise is a way of shirking a decision altogether, whether on Russia sanctions (deadline lapsed June 11, without action), trade deals (deadline lapsed June 12, without result), or a much-heralded infrastructure program (deadline lapsed May 20, 2017, without action then or ever).

    Just wait til Israel unveils the Persian Pulverizer Mark 9, complete with the Virginizer Mark 6.9.

    With Trump/surrogates announcing/peddling a 2 week taco, I think he's hoping Israel can mop this up and he can walk out, hands open waist high, claim victory and peace in the same sentence, work a weave or 3, and look like it was his plan all along. His goal, happy MAGA, Iran defeated. I don't think he gets both. He's along for the ride.

    Gabbard is off message, probably because of Middle East sympathies (imo). No idea why, just like no real idea why she visited Syria back then. She either has to shut up or resign or she'll get mean tweeted and fired.

    I'm reading Israel has declared air superiority over Tehran, and reading that Iran wants to negotiate. I'm betting Netanyahu isn't done yet and plans to obliterate all ballistic/nuke/drone/offensive capability that can touch Israel. Iran best reel in its forces attacking anything US before we join in and carpet bomb the place.

    Unless we start it's own thread, I'll put it here as "Surveillance" popped up here in the search enough times. https://www.wired.com/story/airlines-dont-want-you-to-know-they-sold-your-flight-data-to-dhs/ I found this quote interesting: “It's clear the data broker loophole is pushing the government back towards a pernicious ‘collect it all’ mentality, gobbling up as much sensitive data as it can about all Americans by default. A decade ago the public rejected that approach, and Congress passed surveillance reform legislation that banned domestic bulk collection. Clearly it's time for Congress to step in again, and stop the data broker loophole from being used to circumvent that ban.”

    Don't forget this protest accessory.

    Still retarded, just like it was in field training/zoo/etc. Show me the real world training aspect that makes this worth it, Signed, Killjoy

    Because it's a stupid parade. Like we need to spend $$$ on that shit. But I guess little Taco needs an ego stroke so he can look mighty like Un. Tards.

    What is to stop our enemies from getting into the US, buying some containers and rigs, and parking them a mile from a base? Other than good explosives, not much. Fleet composition doesn't stop this.

    Quick, everyone short Tesla for a week, then buy it again low. They'll hug it out on Thursday, I hear.

    Yeah, we're rooting for the Razorbacks.

    My exit plan was made, confirmed with the fam, and then a few things happened. The 95th Flying Badgers were moving to Pope and the AF gave me a school slot. It turned out well enough as the financial crisis happened a little later and airlines took a beating. But if Wall St hadn't fucked shit up and BRAC/Big Blue hadn't forced the 95th out of Milwaukee, I'd have been doing weekends in a Herc, M-F in a 737, and drinking great WI beer everyday.

    Modern day sappers. Demonstrated, and now every base with aircraft on the ramp is a huge risk. Anti-drone tech/systems is where our R&D/Acquisition resources need to be focused and fast. And hard shelters, but those take a lot of space and if you leave the door open, it can still go boom. Z made a statement, and maybe the scale was set to what occurred, but what if his army was able to hit more bases, more planes, more radars/AA/Comms/Arty/drone stations/etc?

    @lloyd christmas I took your post and article to mean exactly what you intended, any side digging in hard and propagating their spew. My tin foil hat uncle is so far into conspiracies, I mess with him by saying, "That's what the Chinese want you to think." I'll try to find it, but an investigative writer did a story on a '24 congressional campaign that was trying to set a spending record. Dude flew to the state, listened to all the ads, went to bars and chatted with locals, and almost everyone asked on who they supported and why, gave at least 1 buzzword/phrase from the ad blitz, regardless of the side they supported. IDK if the writter asked how many changed their vote based on the ads, but the point was the ads do get inside our heads. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/11/election-results-donald-trump-kamala-harris-ads-montana.html

    New investment strategy, TACO. Recent history checks, so far. I like the call sign, tho. https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/taco-wall-street-mocks-trump-with-4-letter-code-to-call-bets-against-him/

    Not surprised Trump/staff would do this. All part of just saying shit because enough believe him regardless. I can't wait for oval smack downs on chem trails, lizard people, and flat earth shit. https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/trumps-image-dead-white-farmers-came-reuters-footage-congo-not-south-africa-2025-05-22/

    You posted a thought-out explanation of what Trump was trying to convey. Nice analysis, you put some thoughts into it. Since you seem to good at this type of work, maybe you should stand next to him and do it live. Get it? And yes, I think there is noticeable cognitive decline too.
  22. disgruntledemployee
    Maybe you should give the speeches. Or maybe stand next to him and say, "What the President meant was..."

    Don't let the link distract you. I heard it, drafted a post, then googled a link for ref. Name another prez speech that references/weaves trophy wives. if there's another, then I'll consider it average political leader speak.
  25. disgruntledemployee
    Any defenders wanna take a stab at explaining the weave on trophy wives in T's West Point rambling? If this was Biden talking, MAGAs be losing their shit on mental capes. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-west-point-address-dei-immigration-b2757275.html
