Stop the count!
Unfortunately Jon Favreau knows that I am absolutely delighted when a Star Wars guy is named like Malus Afforthod.
No one told him that Venezuela was worked out ahead of time and that they gave Maduro up.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
I do not give the IRGC or any entities associated with Iran permission to mine the Strait of Hormuz. With this statement I give notice to the IRGC it is strictly forbidden to mine the Strait. The violation of ukase can be punished by law (UCC 1308 11 308103 and the Rome Statute).
HBO Max is now Max... and Strait of Hormuz is now Mined!!
i need ARMS! - various forces
With some quick thinking, I was able to inhale the entire fart into my mouth, thereby winning the exchange
Hey nvm we priced it in
For a few days there the market was like yeah the strait of Hormuz is gonna close for a couple days every now and then. Them's the breaks
Stay sharp!
For a year it's been like well the market actually anticipated that the entire health insurance industry would lose a trillion dollars from ACA cuts. That was priced in
Cool that we finally found the one thing that the market had not priced in. Not cool that millions will die
🗨️ my toddler refusing to go to sleep tonight
being able to get a glass of whiskey at the barber shop has got to feel really good if you're stupid as fuck
You can fire every missile; you can kill millions of little girls; you can shred every rule and law and norm that would protect you if you were on the other end of the sword believing you never will be; but you cannot bomb someone into respecting you, only hating you
We are watching people who have tricked themselves into believing that the appearance of power is power; that the problem with the Wizard of Oz is he just didn't use his magic he obviously had to fix everything
There was a glide path to being a stable mid-table regional power with a relatively high standard of living for most citizens and important links in a global industrial, cultural, and financial system. That's gone. Everywhere you look, in every arena, the consequences of this war will reverberate.
The options on the table were managed imperial decline or launching insane aggressive wars of choice to try to maintain hegemony over a shrinking sphere of influence, the Trump administration clearly publicly picked the latter last year (in a DOD strategy document), and this is what that looks like.
Fucking Viking pirates installing puppet kings on the English coast were smarter than this.
Donald Trump loudly and publicly demanding to be allowed to pick the next leader of Iran is so so so insanely stupid and humiliating
Getting emailed directly by a powdered dandelion root company letting me know they're going to raise their prices
This Big Bird character is a menace
am I missing something or is reporting on this war utter shit? I'm not even talking about bias or whatever, just like basic facts about what the fuck is going on.
you people will never make me care about Maine, a fictional setting stephen king invented to sell airport paperbacks that has become an in-joke for east coasters who don't want to say where they really went on vacation. i'd rather debate who will best represent Narnia's interests in the senate
They're just lying!
Grok, please identify Iranian missile silos
Also, this administration is full of liars who lie constantly about everything, and there's no reason to believe that would change now.
