    If that bombing set them back just a few months then they were close to getting a nuke.  
     

    They were “years” away.  But that strike only set them back a few months.  
     

     

    My interpretation of the fake source is we did NO significant damage.  That’s my logic.  
     

    You go ahead and believe that.  

    If a project is expected to be done in 5 years, but has a 1 year setback, it would then be expected to take 6 years.  Stop me if I'm going too fast here.  
     

    Believe and post whatever misinterpretations and misguided outrage you like- not my problem.

    What are they closer to? 
     

    How close were they to it?  

    Nobody claims they are 'closer to' anything as a result of our B-2 Earth-movers being called into action.  
     

    Your argument is based on an intentionally false misunderstanding of our language and basic math.  
     

    I'd be embarrassed to repost that garbage logic, but you do you.

    Yep.  It was years away last week.  Didn’t even have the capability.  
     

    Today they were literally days away.  

    For the sake of the most simple math possible, let's say 'years away' equals 2 years, and 'only set back a few months' equals 3 months...

     

    Let me get that second brain cell fired up here...   that would mean we're now talking about nuke capability in 2 years and 3 months. 
     

    According to your quotes, where exactly did the 2 years become zero years?   

  4. Saw this yesterday on Willie Nelson's, 'Outlaw Tour'

     

    Billy Strings and band were absolute monsters- this is an older show, so look up Cascades if you want to see the show I saw- this just has better video:

  8. Caught Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds a few nights ago- first-time concert-goer, long time fan. 
     

    I'll start at the end, appropriately- he concluded the show with this as a solo, -


    For those of you familiar with his music, I'd like to tell you that all hell broke loose in the meantime... and it did. )

     

    It was a ***** Fantastic show!!! 
     

    It started metered for a few songs, but then just exploded during Jubilee Street and was unstoppable from there.  It was a great set that probed into so many places I'd either never heard or never considered, but came out on the other side of a song... just... so... damned... impressed.  
     

    Nick Cave is not nice music.  Nothing is less than unsettling, but the ruthless is thoughtful, and the beautiful is nothing short of stunning.  If you have a chance to see him, everything is meticulous.  

     

    This is what I saw the other night- yes he flubbed a lyric, and the audio does zero justice to the show, but I'm so glad somebody recorded the song:

    What "incompetence" has Hegseth shown? 

     

    Again..the people responsible for the reporter being added to the Signal chat were fired/reassigned.  Isn't accountability what you guys were whining about (which is laughable considering you didn't care about incompetence in the last Admin)? 

    I have never in my lifetime experienced a collection of appointees as unqualified for their posts as we have right now under the Trump administration.  
     

    Good luck

  10. This is a fun part though- How can you not feel the passion for journalism just oozing through his bones...

     

    per AI:  

    Rupert Murdoch has not written any books or significant works of literature under his own name. While he has penned annual letters to stockholders, these are primarily business-related and do not represent creative writing. A New Yorker article mentioned an aborted autobiography. 

     

    Beyond having zero passion for anything related to actual journalism, I'm not going to get into his personal stuff.  He is a businessperson out to create personal wealth with no regard for anything else.  I think it's called a sociopath.  

  11. Rupert Murdoch, born in Melbourne, Australia, became a global media mogul after inheriting his father's media holdings. He began with The News, an Adelaide newspaper, which he transformed by emphasizing sensational news, before expanding into television and ultimately building a global media empire. 
    Murdoch inherited his father's media holdings after his father's death in 1952, including the Sunday Mail and The News in Adelaide.

    This should be proof that even people can meet and respect the time and attention of someone who disagrees with them - still, the timing was insane. 

     

    People usually know their last days, their medical team knows their last days; the Catholic team propping up the Pope decided this was a good optic in his final days? Amazing.

     

    The benefit for the Catholic faith and Vatican was far more than Vance. The Trump administration gained nothing from this since the Pope died minutes later and now the Vatican can completely vacate the meetings discussion that agreed to anything.

     

    Just incredibly odd timing.

     

    Also, eff this guy's pop culture caving of his religion to bring LBGTwhatever into mainstream church. What a disgrace. 

    Nice cynicism.  Some of us are just stronger minded than your average North Carolina Disney fan- cue Pope Francis, not his 'handlers'.  
    Personal story related- there's absolutely no way my Mom didn't stave off death until 45 minutes into December 26th- so she didn't die on my sister's birthday.
     

    Go see a national park or something- sounds like you need it.  
     

    Oh, wait, they're probably all bulldozed by now...

     

    What's with it with my fellow American citizens cheering on ugliness and cynicism in my own country?
