  1. I saw this posted on a site I check out from time to time. Who knows about it's accuracy so take it with a grain of salt, but it seems to line up with what we've seen. I'm an American field grade officer in [REDACTED], and would like to calm things down a bit, concerning the Iranian missile strike on Al-Assad Air Base, and Erbil. I was in [REDACTED] during the strike. Here's my take.1. We received "intelligence reports" that there would be a missile strike that night in two volleys. We didn't know the hour, or location, but there were in fact two volleys. Field intelligence is never that accurate, in my experience.2. The first volley launched within minutes of us receiving the "intelligence report".3. I watched the rockets impact - mostly ineffectively - on a live feed.4. Pres Trump tweeted that there were no American casualties, and little damage, before we even received the Battle Damage Assessment, but he was right.5. Iran, Iraq, and Pres Trump were all talking about de-escalation within hours of the strike.The whole night, I couldn't escape the feeling that the whole thing is intended to give Pres Trump a reason to remove troops from Iraq, while giving all three parties (Iran, Iraq, and the USA) reason to claim a win - the USA killed a very bad man, Iran struck The Great Satan, and Iraq gets to reassert their sovereignty.We'll see, but that's the way it looks from [REDACTED]. Finally....6. I watched the Neo-Clowns on Fox News agitate for war. I just thought, "give it a rest, man!"
  2. Flights booked!
  3. Awesome. Very impressive individual. Sounds like he loves everything about playing Buffalo football right now. "Pay him. Pay dat man his money"!
  4. He still believes his only hope of avoiding persecution is that the Democrat/Mainstream Media narrative will hold up, and that he must keep pushing it else people start to turn on him. If he hides he could give someone else like Brennan ammunition to pin everything on him. As long as the music keeps playing, Comey and all those slimey bastards will keep going around the circle, hoping that when it stops they have a chair to sit on.
  5. If it's Houston (#4 vs #5) would that be Saturday or Sunday?
  6. McDermott has no killer instinct? Going for it on 4th and 6?
  7. Tell Hubby to suck it up. London is a great city, teeming with history on every corner. So much to see and do. Getting around on the Underground is ridiculously easy. I'm hoping the Bills get over there again for another game.
  8. One thing I've always thought is that Supreme Court decisions should be unanimous. Justice is supposed to be blind, not dependent on personal political philosophy. If they all can't agree on something, then it should be kicked back to the states to decide or to start over. Anytime we have a 5-4 decision it feels like a travesty, that no real justice was accomplished. Maybe it would make the current justice nomination process less of a shitshow.
  9. Better get Don a fainting couch, looks like the poor girl is getting the vapors!
  10. Feinstein is starting to look like Emperor Palpitine. Using the Dark Side of the Force is really taking it out of the ole' gal.
  11. To be fair, I don't know if you can really call it his foreign policy. I never got the impression Obama cared all that much for foreign affairs, other than the hobnobbing/social aspect of it. He was likely rubber stamping all the policy decisions presented to him that benefited power players here and abroad. I think history will likely paint him in a similar vein as Bush II, a puppet for the power behind the throne.
  12. I would have added- Countries kick back part of the "aid" to certain politician's "charitable" foundations for future "aid" and influence.
  13. I hope not. Even if many agree (and I do) that WaPo and the NYT are horrifically biased, to the point of being propaganda arms of the DNC, it is unwise to completely ignore them. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer...
  14. Disgusting. An issue like this should emphasize reflection on the evidence and, if the evidence merits it, a reluctant decision to remove a president. The Democrats want to create a propaganda barnstorming spectacle, using their wormtongue's in the media to bully and/or brainwash the masses into a flippant exercise of gross injustice, ignorant of potential dire consequences. That email posted in the tweet could be condensed thusly, "Let's Start a War'.
  15. If the choices are watching that or punching myself in the balls, I'll have to think that over and get back to you...
  16. Didn't see this, sorry if a repost but it's too funny-
