Non political

This photo is irrefutable evidence that aliens exist…….

I don't want to throw Biff under a Frontier Airbus but, holy moly, I've never had a car stolen or broken into and describing those issues as "comes with the territory" is a sad summation of civilization in a once great state.

Are what ifs open? What if you weren’t such a politically-charged hack that you could be honest instead of purposely curating/cherrypicking to make your political opponents look bad in a false way (guess you have a great future career in the MSM). What if you weren’t so retarded as to compare Trump to Mao. I mean, you have to be pretty stupid/brainwashed to make that comparison. You’re embarrassing yourself, recommend stop.

Would the WaPo reporting be any different with a Democrat administration? Was there outage at the Afghanistan withdrawal with 13 killed by a VBIED? The killing of an ambassador in Libya? I don't recall the published moral outage or pronouncements of national failure for those or any other Democrat admin led military action.

I blame Obama

This is what happens when WB pilots do anything other than a straight in ILS.

Agreed.

You can throw all the stats you want but the biggest indicator of the desirability of remaining in California is those voting with their feet and U-Haul vans. Price for a 20 foot truck from Dallas to LA, $1602. You want to flee what California is and what you fear it will become, that same truck from LA to Dallas will cost you $4656. Dollars and feet don't lie.

Hey google how many ships are stranded in the strait right now? “As of May 10th 2026, an estimated 1,600 to 2,000 ships are trapped or stranded in the Persian Gulf and around the Strait of Hormuz” … the IRGC and the previous ayatollahs son are in charge. And they have all the exact same goals. Are you seriously saying that since we killed some dudes we can check this one off the list despite their replacements pursuing the exact same things? Trump said at the beginning of the war:“U.S. would destroy Iran’s missiles and raze the country’s missile infrastructure “to the ground.” I’ll cut you some slack on this because the admin themselves have shifted the goalposts on this one changing from words like “obliterate” and “totally destroy” at the beginning of the conflict, to “degrade” more recently. Regardless, initial goal not met. Iran still holds our assets and allies in the region at risk with significant missile stockpiles Yes it was. The protest crackdowns were a primary justification, the president tweeted that the people should rise up, and it went hand in hand with the goal of achieving a regime change. None of which happened. .. our own government is saying the nuke material is still at large In summary, that was a pretty wild public display of mental gymnastics and cope. I really hope this isn’t how you grade mission objectives in your debriefs.. explaining everything away with semantics or BS technicalities while none of the intent is actually met.

@Pooter See my reply to Negatory. Strait is not closed We were never after no “regime” in power, we were after people change. And that has occurred, multiple times actually. TBMs - Never was the goal to take 100% of the capability (unattainable goal). We’ve met our desired goal. Iranian people - Liberating gen pop was never a pri objective. Sure we’d like to see them get out of their situation, and we’ll help them indirectly when it’s convenient, but is not a pri objective. Nukes - Sure, believe whatever you want… Turns out your list was mostly poorly informed opinion and not “basic facts.”

California is a masters class in how not to govern at every level. But, when you have a lot of very stupid people living on the coast, you’re going to get very stupid, elected officials.

Probably.. but also other than bickering about partisanship why does it matter? Facts are facts. Those assets were struck by Iran and now we don't have them anymore. Trying to tease out the argument here.. is it: "wapo was soft on hillary/benghazi/biden, therefore current factual reporting is invalid?" Or is it: "other things were clown shows too so that makes this one fine?" Anyways.. just doing my occasional check in to see how our victory lap is going strait: still closed regime: still in power iranian people: still oppressed tbm capability: still intact nuclear material: still at large deal with iran: still nonexistent despite claims they're desperate for one ceasefire: continual rolex on the deadline, also not even really a ceasefire gas prices: worse than last time I was here Just so tired of all the winning guys, but please by all means tell me how my TDS invalidates all these basic facts

That's awesome! Not a single tube of shame!

Where's the WaPo article about the incredible effectiveness of the US airstrikes? I wonder if we destroyed any fuel bladders.

A "way" or a war? Worst kept secret out there. The U.S. Intelligence apparatus has been saying 2027 for a long time and a lot of funding decisions support that date. Increasing delivery of B-21, LRIP of F-47, 28,000 low-cost cruise missiles in the latest POM. If you look at it holistically China will achieve peak power in 2027 and start to rapidly decline thereafter. Economy, demographic and a host of other factors fully drag them down. You should go look at the demographics....they are paying a HUGE price for the one child policy which has now been cancelled.

This is a start, but just go straight to nation-wide Constitutional Carry.

I can tell you've never been coon hunting

Agreed, TN blows, don’t move there. It’s the worse state in the union by far and everyone needs to quit moving there since it’s so terrible. I would never even consider moving there, especially if I had blue hair, was a trannie, a liberal, or otherwise wanted to ruin this great nation by fixing all the “right wingers”. Let that place stew in its own misery. PS: MS can have Memphis and thereby reduce crime by about 85%.

Fair enough. Would also like to respectfully request that goes in both directions and when people who disagree with this war post things they don’t get called TDS deranged libtards without people addressing any of the points. I know I get heated sometimes but it’s genuinely hard to have a serious conversation when we’re quibbling about whether the strait is open or not

A lot of those people are becoming my neighbors here in Texas. 95% are nice but the 5% complaining about the weather or "how we did things in California" are getting on my nerves.

Yes, there are places that have a high suck factor and most people with a choice don't want to live there. But people with a choice are choosing to live elsewhere and a lot of them are leaving what used to be a very nice state.

Says TN is a “godforsaken” state lol. I agree that Memphis sucks…ran entirely by Dems for years. The rest of the state, pretty awesome in most areas.

Anecdotal: But I hate my downtown SFO & LA layovers. I won't bid them anymore. About 6 weeks ago in SFO, there were a good two dozen fentanyl zombies right outside the hotel. Noped out of my normal exploratory walk real quick. My last LA downtown was human shit right outside the entrance to the hotel and a large police presence in the hotel to keep non-patrons out. Redondo Beach or Marina del Rey for me now on only.

Nah, production is still delayed as the finish out the order of free Obama Phones.

Was an attempt as a joke at the crusader tats. You get your Trump phone yet?

We know we've struck a lot more (13,000+) targets in Iran from SECDEF press conferences, but is admitting we've had things hit too somehow propaganda? What exactly is your definition of propaganda. As a taxpayer I feel knowing the full extent of damage (within the limits of opsec) taken by our side is absolutely not propaganda.. If anything, lying about the war and saying it's going better than it is, is propaganda. And which part of the list is inaccurate

Is that thing made of butter?

So THAT’S what lesbian foreplay looks like! I’ve always wondered.

Nah, but is that you Tupac!?

Let’s start with the definition of propaganda: “ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause.” Whose cause are they furthering and whose cause are they attempting to damage? There are easy, obvious answers to those questions. Additionally, it is written and curated to push a narrative that Iran has dealt significant blows to the US, the US has been decently hurt/licking its wounds, etc. That implied narrative is not accurate at all. There is also some 100% false stuff in it - but obviously nobody is confirming that publicly due to classification/opsec. Overall, the narrative is very misleading at best, and actually full up false in some instances (but, I won’t say the false parts are purposeful, as a journalist/think tank talking out their ass is nothing new). There’s the right, patriotic thing to do, and then there’s this bullshit. The fact you can’t see the difference is not surprising, but still disappointing.

Lots of litigation on this before it was even filed and Big Tech has lost at every turn. In short, Meta is faced with a $16B Class Action Lawsuit for allowing all the Fake/Scam/Predatory ads on Facebook and Instagram. In the long run it could change the platforms.

If in res conflicts with the forever home timeline, then you don't really have any questions to answer. But, I think if you DON'T go, that might close doors for you. If you DO go, it doesn't guarantee anything, but it may open doors and it certainly won't close any (at least on the career front).

I wish. Wife is reigning me in on firearms purchases for now. It may be a while. The really hard part will be justifying my ammo purchases with very many 50 rd drums. It's like buying an airplane. The initial cost isn't what gets you it's the long-term caring and feeding.😁

Have you bought it yet? It kills me he doesn't have a video with a drum mag

Friendly reminder the this thread was started to NOT be political.

Careful, he'll accuse you of beating his wife or something; my TDS is making it hard to keep up. 🤷‍♂️

Feel free to leave anytime you like...
