  1. Michael Madsen!
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. Trump is probably dreaming of a televised trial so he can prove his galaxy brainz
  6. The GOP congress will get to the bottom of the Kushner payouts...just you wait and see. :==)
  7. interesting take. I concur with the idea that they hoped their fraud wouldn't be checked.
  8. This is the thin wedge. Or a thin wedge.
  9. In the first Impeachment they had him extorting Zelensky over weapons shipments of the Javelin anti-tank missile in exchange for political considerations.
  10. We should definitely empower egomaniac Musk to run the base on Mars.
  11. 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.
  12. This guy has a broken brain https://www.thejc.com/news/news/former-trump-advisor-blames-jews-for-their-own-deportations-to-auschwitz-6BMJn5y5XpBfAJcNGhwFpy
  13. 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.
  14. Four Rolls Royce Merlins...I can believe it.
  15. 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.
  16. This deserves a mid-level award for comedic achievement in a comedic well nearly run dry.
  17. Interesting Column: An unlikely solution to the problems with Harris and Feinstein (yahoo.com) i doubt Harris would go for it since she's a sandbag from the presidency.
  18. This is interesting
  19. This will work Christie pulls ahead of DeSantis in New Hampshire GOP primary: poll | The Hill Christie-san with spirit of bushido and the divine wind shall smote the enemies of democracy!
  20. That is an impressive set of aircraft. I might go out of my way to see a Lancaster and the Vampire. I recall that one was sort of a spectacular failure but that might be another aircraft I'm thinking about. Still, its so unusual looking. I was always a big fan of the B-25 in the ship/ground attack mode that was so extremely successful for the 5th AF in the Pacific.
  21. Yeah, IOS. This was a thing previously... somehow overcome and now back to not being overcome.
