Do you honestly think no US soldier has ever done something like that with a statue of the Virgin Mary? I bet if you comb tictok you could find some private dry humping one.

That has been going on for 50 years. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower. If you're surprised by it at this point that's on you.

It doesn't say us contracted ship. It says a ship under US sanctions. Sounds like if they didn't intercept it we would have.

The pizzas did not make it to the car. The guy who paid at the counter took off running with one box. Box in one hand and eating a slice with the other. A chase ensued, i'm not sure what happened to the other box, but in the end I'm pretty sure everyone got 2 slices and most ended up running...

"Follow the science" "NOT THAT SCIENCE !!!" It's amazing how often they think you can have "science" without any actual data.

The discussion was about the stock market. 60% of Americans have the vast majority of their retirement tied up in the stock market. So it is very important to them. Even if gas and eggs get expensive, that doesn't suddenly mean they stop caring about their retirement funds. Any way you slice...

The ones with their retirement tied up in the stock market ?

If 60% of Americans have a retirement account, then 60% of them have a direct interest in the stock market. The price of groceries and gas doesn't factor into that at all.

About 60% of the US has stock in a retirement account (401k or similar). For the majority of people the stock market *is* main street. It's not just "the rich".

In high-school I participated in a pizza run with 9 guys in a Chevette. We pooled some money and ordered a couple pizzas from the local pizza hut. Then the guy who owned the Chevette was going to pick it up, and someone said "if he goes alone half of it will be gone before he gets back"...

It's an inevitable consequence of the left wing racism of low expectations. If you treat people like they're animals who just can't help it, they will act the part. If you treat them like equals, and hold them to the same standards, then they will become productive members of society. If you...

Maybe to you. To the rest of us it looks like it's all in your imagination.

How do you figure that our situation is worse ?

Unless they make state officials personally responsible for violating the 2A it won't matter what else they do. It needs to be a direct tort with no immunity available for anyone. Violating someone's 2A rights *should* be legally recognized as a clear and present threat of deadly force, and...

And the left laughed at us when we said "death panels". OfC they laughed when Trump told NATO to prepare for Russia to get aggressive again during his first term too.

But right now we are shipping tons of our oil to Europe and Asia to make up for their shortfall from the middle east. It's a great deal for the US as a whole, we're selling tons of oil and at a premium price. But that does show why being self sufficient is not enough to insulate you from price...

That's what we did with the stuff left after the fall of the Soviet union.

The only way to destroy enriched uranium would be to mix it with depleted uranium back down to a natural level.. Just burying it under a mountain as a pile of dust doesn't destroy it, you can dig it back up and extract it from the dirt much more easily than you can enrich more. It's true, that...

Correction. He is doing what the deep state wants, not the democrats. You need to understand who is really pulling the strings. Not all deep state puppets are Democrats, and the deep state is telling their minions what to do, not the other way around. That's what makes it the deep state.

We will see how this works out. But I see any outcome where Iran loses their enriched Uranium as a win. That's the whole point of the endeavor. If there is a friendly regime in place in Tehran at the end, that's just a bonus. We've already effected a regime change I think twice, just...

The closest historical parallel would be Operation Praying Mantis. That did not work out well for Iran.

They should really put some go-pros on the A10s and just set them loose in the straight.

I think the Iranian people are a lot less enamored with their leadership than you think. They've executed 40,000 people so far this year for anti-government activities. You don't get that in a system where the people back the leadership. So, I really don't think the Iranian *people* will...

We've already effected 2 regime changes. We just keep playing whack-a-mole with their leadership until either their whole government falls to a revolution, or we get someone in charge who would rather play ball than die.

It's a minor irritation for our economy, but I think the "before your economy collapses" is referring to Iran. They are on a lot less stable footing.

Well, not this year anyway, and probably not next year either. After that it gets less certain.

The Iranian economy OTOH is on life support over this.

Drunks go out and drive aggressively. Pot heads sit on the couch and eat doritos. Punish the crime, not people who you think *might* commit the crime, this is basic stuff people.

They spelled "co-conspirators" wrong.

It's very simple. In those "safe" districts, you don't get elected by courting the voters. You will automatically get elected if you are the "D" nominee. So you get elected by courting the power brokers of the "D" party. I think they intentionally put some of these clowns in the safe...

As HLC calls them "Little European Texas".

Wait till the owners decide it's not worth keeping and the property taxes collapse.

Technically a 9mm or .380 is .38 caliber, but that's sure a strange way to describe it.

"Tell me you're reading whatever put in front of you without telling me..." "Well, English isn't her first language" -- "Sure, but roman numerals are Latin LOL".

Yep, we can try to prepare to deal with the results, but there's nothing we can do to change the path. Sort of like a passenger during a plane crash.

Things can turn on a dime, but *you* can't do anything but react to it when it happens. There are only a handful of people in the world with the power and opportunity to change the outcome in those turning points, and none of us are them.

Sure, but what can *you* do about any of it ? Besides prepare for a general shit storm, which you should be doing anyway, because no matter who is running things at the moment, it's always a house of cards.

The reality is that it doesn't matter whether you trust it or not, it's going to play out whatever way that it will, and there's jack shit you can do to change that.

People are doubting that unsupervised self driving will be an option anytime soon. I think it's going to be mandatory in a couple decades. The insurance rates for a car that you can directly control will price people right out of driving them. Tesla already offers insurance discounts the...

I think they've got another century, two at the most before the violence is relegated to a fringe. Look at where the mideast has gotten in the last couple decades. With Iran gone, I think most of the big players want to be prosperous more than they want to be righteous. Hell, they're...

Don't tempt them, that's where the Brits are now. Seriously, kitchen knives are controlled there more strongly than most guns here.

Unless you count Fidel Castro. The CIA had an entire division dedicated to coming up with the most outlandish assassination methods. I hear they were staffed with all the people layed off when the road runner/coyote cartoons went off the air. No shit, poisoned cigars, tuberculosis laced wet...

Literally all of that stuff is just bullshit some bureaucrats shuffle around to justify their existence. None of those "rulings" actually did anything. They were directed to issue that stuff by the people who had already decided what course of action to take. The UN approved the invasion of...

And artillery is addressed to "resident at grid square xyz"

Yea, the ICC is a joke. Do you remember when they dragged Saddam to the Hague for crimes ? Oh, that's right, the Iraqis executed him themselves for the crimes he committed there, the Hague never got a go. The ICC, in it's entire existence, has secured maybe a dozen convictions. The whole...

Honestly, I'm surprised Iran didn't just dig done giant holes in the desert and pump the oil there.

The "international court" are a joke. The whole UN is a cesspool. They should lock the doors and burn the place to the ground. Then repeat that in Belgium and the Netherlands. But, if you like them so much, half the leadership of Hamas has ICC arrest warrants too. But you only bring up one...

So why don't the Palestinians just get their supplies from Egypt ? Oh, yeah, Egypt cut them off decades ago, despite them being actually Egyptian before the made up term "Palestinian" was coined about 5 mins ago. Funny how you're outraged that Isreal cut them off, but think it's just fine for...
