Another Zion vs. Baal moment from the War.

Although, that was a ridiculous over-simplification...it felt good to type that.

The way to approach a haunted house is not to be scared of all the monsters in the house. Its to call in an air strike on the house.

At some point the doomspeaking will be something we all look back on and laugh. Of course, Trump did egg on violent responses to the BLM protests using secretive non-DoD federal armies and would have overthrown the government with a violent mob. He did make Covid immeasurably worse by playing footsie with the anti-Vaxx community. So, maybe its all on the table. All the horrible bad things. To quote Patricia Arquette's character in Severance: "the good news is Hell is a figment of human imagination. The bad news is that whatever the human mind can conceive it can usually create. "

I am mindful that we do a lot of catastrophizing on this board.

They are saying that Trump's "just so" assertions won't actually end up actually proving anything or demonstrate any actual evidence...huh, go figure.

Michael Madsen!

Or, the decision of the two USAF STRATCOM launch officers in the silo who get the order from Trump and have to decide if he's launching at Delaware because of a legal and just order.

I think any GOP dead-ender looking at these numbers will dismiss them but... 8/16/23 - Majority Of Americans Say Trump Should Be Prosecuted On Federal Criminal Charges Linked To 2020 Election, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; DeSantis Slips, Trump Widens Lead In GOP Primary | Quinnipiac University Poll

Yeah, rational actor models only go so far. You have to make allowances for the crazy dictator/mob-boss/business leader having an ego so large that he self destructs.

Trump is probably dreaming of a televised trial so he can prove his galaxy brainz

The GOP congress will get to the bottom of the Kushner payouts...just you wait and see. :==)

interesting take. I concur with the idea that they hoped their fraud wouldn't be checked.

This is the thin wedge. Or a thin wedge.

In the first Impeachment they had him extorting Zelensky over weapons shipments of the Javelin anti-tank missile in exchange for political considerations.

We should definitely empower egomaniac Musk to run the base on Mars.

RE: Mike Flynn. I remember reading the self-promotional literature that guy put out when he was in charge of DIA. Just a bunch of hogwash about how his team were doing things better. News flash: no.

This guy has a broken brain https://www.thejc.com/news/news/former-trump-advisor-blames-jews-for-their-own-deportations-to-auschwitz-6BMJn5y5XpBfAJcNGhwFpy

Oh interesting

I think a lot of this rage is banked and now is stored energy. We aren't at a point where we can convince anyone else who isn't already convinced by reality.

Four Rolls Royce Merlins...I can believe it.

Compare the B-29 to the technology of the 1930s - - pressurized cabin, radar directed machine gun turrets, the altitude and speed it could fly. Ironically that the best results over Japanese cities were in firebombing at low-level and area attacks and not in the precision attacks which were -- (i am making an assertion here based on my own research) extremely effective in Europe. Japan itself proved extremely challenging to high-level aviation due to the bizonkers jet stream over the islands. NE Asia has a very strange climate.

Much better

This deserves a mid-level award for comedic achievement in a comedic well nearly run dry.
