I'm not defending, but look at MAGA tweets during the LA Fires. Same bullshit.

What happens if you drop out of/ Fail UPT?
Let me share with the OP, if you are gonna DOR because you know you will kill yourself/others because you suck at it, do it. No shame in calling it. You will survive. PS. A lot of us almost killed ourselves piloting, but lived to see another day. If you're getting eliminated by UPT because you suck at it, sorry but it happens. You will survive. If you DOR because of other influences, DON'T DO IT. I know a dude that quit because of his now ex-wife. Huge regrets for quitting. If you can hack the mish of piloting, carry on. The nags in your ears will go away, one way or another. Either they love you unconditionally, or they don't. Good luck

Did I just read this right? $85 Million of Federal money to move a space shuttle from Udvar-Hazy to Houston? WTF Cruz/Cornyn. Pay for that shit with your own TX $$$ and see if they like it.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
What's crazy about UKR and all their drone stuff is they assign point values to targets, just like a video game. I'm waiting for their PR department to ramp up a TV show to highlight things a kill leader board with cool names like Dr Boom and The Kill of the Week ala Zombieland.... poor flat bastard.

@Biff_T I'm throwing a flag on this play. You posted AOC in the Next President thread. That's like drawing a pentagram on the floor, a doorway to let evil in. Put that shit in WTF or something. Anybody got a cleansing spell or holy water to hose the place down?

Investment showdown -- beyond the Roth, SDP, & TSP
True. I did that during covid with Novavax, which had a mini Gamestop short vs hedges fight brew up the day I was doing tax stuff and saw the price jump. I sold and made some beer money. Pure luck on that. Lithium is going big in our backyard via the Smackover Formation which some believe will lead to a 2nd "oil boom" like event for southern AR. But the moment these things occur, jumping in right away usually means buying too high. That and AR has yet to negotiate a deal on royalties, etc. with any of the prime players. So I'll just try to pay attention to Gov Sanders investment portfolio because no way does she not get rich off this thing. And the support companies that really put the infrastructure down are definitely ones to take a look at.

Well UKR is jumping deeper into remotes/robotics. The AI Battle Bot with guns has arrived on the battlefield. https://www.yahoo.com/news/american-made-m2-ma-deuce-125257292.html

Time to abolish the Air Force?
We could try the elemental approach: Air, Space, Water, Ground Force. Tolstoy: War Force and Peace Force. Spear method: Kill Force and Support Force. J method: Personnel Force, Intel Force, Ops Force, Logistics Force, Strategy Force, C4 Force, Training Force, Medical Force, Cats and Dogs Force. Mental abilities: Normal Force, Special Force. Morality: Good Force, Evil Force. Miller: Tastes Great Force, Less Filling Force, aka Eat Shit Force and Fuck You Force.

You tell me/us. That's the original question in my post. Taking my post as cheering for economic ruin is retarded. I was pissed at his carelessness with people's life savings. See the difference?

Israel strikes Tehran
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don’t know what the fuck they are doing.” Trump Might be his best moment. 3:13 PS. The Drudge headline says he went "Berserk" which is a stupid description.

Israel strikes Tehran
WTF. That's all I got. Not just for a dumb ass advocating for a strike on the US, but for allowing Iran to tell us and we kinda go, sure. If I took that call, I would have said, "Try it and I will unleash hell. You ain't seen shit yet." Maybe they would have tried it anyway, but the way I see it, allowing such an action gives the current faction some face saving when they don't deserve it. Peace!

Israel strikes Tehran
Start carpet bombing the place to the stone age. Neuter anything that launches into the sky. Sink their entire Navy. Seize every oil tanker. Lop the head off anyone that spouts off any harm to the US, preferable before they get the last word out of their mouth. And take all their assets to pay for it all.

Israel strikes Tehran
I think what the post intended was to show that Trump/acolytes/Fox News Talking Heads beat the anti war drum very hard and very loud. He railed against the deep state war hawks and vowed The Purge. MAGA ate it up. Some on here did too. The irony was just pointed out. The response, but but but Joe, and Hillary, and that one dude. UKR. I have always advocated to support them against our mortal enemy, Putin. And many I know did too, up until Trump didn't. Then all I heard from them were Fox talking points on waste of $$, blah, blah, blah. Maybe Trump has learned. Back to reality. I'm guessing most here would acknowledge that a nuclear Iran is very bad and the US might have had to do something about it. Call it a realist view of the world, weather you're True MAGA, wear the hat to piss off your lib aunt, classic R, Libertarian, Dem, Progressive Dem, or full Libtard. Israel did the world a favor, but they didn't have everything they need to finish the job. Trump was likely asked by them to bust the deep shafts wide open with his Midnight penetrator by making a hole and then exploding deep inside. And without lube. 🤣 Back to reality. Now comes the tough part. Are we done? Is a coalition put together to take Iran out of the bad guy world and on a path the likes of WWII Germany and Japan? Is that even possible? And who? And how? Or do we leave it to Israel?

Israel strikes Tehran
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).

Israel strikes Tehran
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.
