I wanna say I’ve seen a rockstar do that. Maybe Prince?

Keep an eye on Colorado River water rights, its gonna get ugly.

Britain has the parking-lot boats?

One of the UK’s two aircraft carriers has been placed on advanced readiness to sail from Portsmouth.

The crew of HMS Prince of Wales have been told they must be ready to leave in five days, defence sources said.

christ, what’s the other one called…?

…Queen Elizabeth. Why’d I even look it up, I coulda just guessed that.

I don’t think this is about negotiating with the United States.

For all its two faced-nature, the thing about the rules based international order is that it is popular. People want there to be sensible agreements, want to know level heads are prevailing. Of course the US isn’t gonna back down just because China called them out; the point is to demonstrate to everyone else that there is someone trying to make good on that false promise.

thank you for posting the video

pretty sure I remember seeing some footage of the US army using inflatable balloon tanks in WW2

yay new TMBG

fundamentally all the same beliefs as your average yankee Protestant but with the added benefit of getting to cite American Exceptionalism as explicit doctrine with a chapter and verse.

I grew up mormon^[1] and this outlook just fucking baffles me. Like, these guys wanna use the wealth and powers of the state to manufacture prophesy? Mutherfucker, that is quite literally testing God. Nearly the whole first book is all about how you don’t do that.

Another video shows a moment of impact. “They got the NAVCENT building,” the narrator says, referring to U.S. Naval Forces Central Command. Dark smoke pours out of the base in the immediate aftermath, two other videos show. Bahrain’s state news agency reported that the attacks struck a service center on the base.

Gen X is an unknown variable.

yeah, uh-huh, sure. And if I go to this guy’s wikipedia it says

1969 geboren [he only has a german language page]

Sounds like a Gen Xer who doesn’t wanna step back and paint himself with the same broad brush he’s doing to others. So I’ll do it for him. Gen X was raised by television.

they just gotta give him a gaudy trophy and call it the official peacemaker’s award

woahey new mega

…i have nothing to say

It sounds like he really doesn’t like all the military strategists telling him this is gonna be a lengthy conflict. Ironically, the kidnapping of Maduro going so smoothly might doom the war hawks’ dream.

Sounds like truly miserable experience, doesn’t it?

thank goodness Spitting Image Donald Trump isn’t real and just a fantasy

Believing myself to be immune to manipulation is the only prerequisite to getting manipulated.

Is marijuana healthier and less addictive than alcohol? Absolutely. Is smoking healthy? Hell no! And you can still find yourself doing it every day out of habit. It’s just an easier habit to shake than alcohol or nicotine.

heard a clip of Marco Rubio’s western civ speach he gave in… Munich? I guess?

Anyway, everything about it was just screaming Mormon to me. The cadence, the word choice – there is an LDS style and he fit it to a T. So I go check his wiki and what do I see but

From ages 8 to 11 he and his family attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while living in Las Vegas
