So because I started a thread... When I log on I have 120 fkn notifications. Basically for every post.
If someone replied to something I actually said, I'd never know as, it's buried in the other 120 'replied' notifications.
@thehoosierhuddle I'm ready to stroke a check personally and pay for some legitimate forum software. This is so painful.
@unclemark come on man. Why were you promoted other than to resolve this kind of stuff. Thought you were the closest thing we had to a IT guy. Then found out you pay your bills through the mail with a check.
What a pussy…
My love of pussy is great, and has led me to some dirty corners of the this great world, but now I'm old and I just want the simple things in life
I read today that Trump said if we lose troops in this fight, it will be worth it.
It's clear. We're all in on taking down the regime. Don't think you can go back now.
Several weeks minimum
Several weeks of missile strikes is still a far cry from troops on the ground.
I'd put the odds of this working--as in a stable, less crazy regime emerging in the next three years--as very low.Is it clear now that Tulsi, Vance and the rest of the isolationists are totally on the outs with this admin?
They weren't consulted..... Got sat at the kid's table while this went down. Basically the flunkies.
Rubio's chances of being the next POTUS went up exponentially IF this ends up working
Great day for America that a miserable piece of shit like Khamenei is gone from this earth. Don't lose sight of longer term goals and the final retribution for the thousands of US soldiers that were killed and maimed because of his orders. A terrible person is gone and it should be celebrated. They turned Iraq into a minefield for years.
We're an imperfect country but we're a hell of a lot better than what that regime is.

I actually think that it is entirely possible that the existing structure of govt remain. Most people aren't rabid ideologues, they are pragmatic. They want status and money and control and power.
Much better to work with the pragmatics and kill the crazies that are hell bent on being adversarial to Israel and the US. It's a tale as old as time in that region. The current regime has no broad public support. Don't try to import Western democracy and you'll be fine.
I dont usually wade into politics, but I will say I wish my uncle could have seen this. He passed last year from cancer, but spent nearly 40 years in the CIA after close to a decade in the army. Almost all of that time was in the middle east and China. He spent a lot of time in Iran around the timeframe of the movie Argo, and knew the guy it was based on. RIP Rich. Helluva guy.
A good friend will bail you out of jail, but your best friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying "that was f***ing awesome"
Interesting (to me) little tidbit...
From what I can gather from the various reports I've seen, it looks like the Israelis targeted the "human" assets -- government and military officials -- while the US took care of the hard facilities, i.e. the missile sites and nuclear sites themselves. Makes me think the Israelis had better intel on the people than we did.

No way this headline was accidental...right?
.
Trump has succeeded in moving the national narrative away from the Epstein files, but the Iran War is highlighting a growing divide within MAGA. Any chance of the anti-war faction in MAGA pushing 25th Amendment invocation to get Trump out and Vance in, not necessarily right now but within a year or so? They'd probably have the "release all the files!" group in their corner as well.
Trump Is Betraying His MAGA Base By Waging War on Iran.

the Israelis have better intel (pagers, Solemani, etc), but it gives Trump a way to say he didn’t kill the head of regime.
