For a million awful reasons the cowardly thing for Trump to do here is to attack Iran…

I know we were all really enjoying bashing leftists for being anti-semitic when they have the nerve to protest the Palestinian Genocide but The Republican Party is genuinely extremely anti-semitic and becoming more so at a terrifying velocity.

It should scare everyone how openly the Republican Party is flirting with true genuine anti-semitism, whether you are jewish or not, this is a matter of accelerating dehumanization and skapegoating.

I also want to take this time to tell centrists who sat by and watched this happen while hyperfocusing only at screaming at leftists to shut up, stop being anti-semitic and take the conversation elsewhere, fuck you.

I was, like many people then, a resolute ticket-splitter, voting often for local Democrats but always for Republican presidents, because I believed the national GOP was a moderate institution. Ronald Reagan, for example, disappointed the far right and his evangelical base by reducing nuclear weapons, leaving abortion rights largely untouched, and granting mass amnesty to undocumented immigrants (something I objected to at the time).

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

secret

why?

Which is why offing the cheeto would bring such narrative relief here, he could become the gas station junkfood matyr of 'murica nice and cleanly.

Slowing this down and letting Trump shit his pants for everyone to see as he sundowns into denial makes hero worship and passing the throne far less effective storytelling wise.

This is how the truth wins, by refusing to follow the easy story.

Is it?

I mean if you walk onto private property with a gun in the US, errr well that is kind of diving hard into the Find Out part of the FAFO Loop right?

You aren’t wrong though, the Trump administration hates taking prisoners as the prisoners keep turning up innocent upon closer inspection, it is much better for their PR narrative to kill outright. Then they can portray the culprit any way they want and they can scream RADICAL LEFT over and over again without the thorny details that it was in all likelihood another MAGA piece of shit who tried to shoot Trump.

The majority of us are mad as hell at both cases, I assure you.

I think that is what Trump, Steven Miller and Netanyahu want to be honest.

Everything just gets so much more violent and well you know nice and starkly simple after that which would make all three of their jobs so much easier, narratively speaking.

He sent a carrier there, totally exhausted hoping some totally overworked and undertrained servicemember will blunder, create a catastrophic opening and a carrier or other big carrier will be hit bad killing US servicemembers in a spectacular way that makes for good Memes.

Cue Patriotism!

At the point we can finally all shut the libs up, stop talking, cancel elections and go to WAR!!!

Look, don’t get me wrong I am not saying there isn’t corruption, and that soldiers lives weren’t thrown away carelessly in the development of the CH-53. We are talking about a massive US military program here…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CH-53K

When considering the operational history of the CH-53 though (and especially most modern version the CH-53K) I don’t think you can fairly label it a deathtrap, you will have an easier time arguing it is the best mass production heavy lift helicopter in the world.

https://breakingdefense.com/2025/08/how-the-ch-53k-king-stallion-can-transform-marine-heavy-lift-operations/

“What contributes to that challenge is the fact that we called it the CH-53K instead of going with something wholly different, the fact that we made it look a lot like a 53 Echo,” Fleeger explained. “I think it actually encourages, unfortunately, people to view the platform as a replacement platform instead of a revolutionary, key element of a really forward-thinking concept of operations.”

The CH-53K’s larger engines, advanced avionics, and greater payload capacity don’t just improve existing capabilities. They enable entirely new operational concepts. Where the CH-53E required extensive preparation and carried significant risk when lifting 20,000-pound loads, the CH-53K handles such operations routinely, fundamentally changing how ground commanders plan missions.

Wanna try to fight me when I can airlift piles of 155mm heavy artillery to every single hill and defensible location around you? Wherever you are?

Neither the V-22 nor the CH-53K are cancelled, the V-22 will be eventually replaced by the MV-75 and the V-22 has a lot of serious issues but it is not a true failure like say the Littoral Combat Ship class was for example.

I am not saying the V-22 doesn’t deserve to be bashed, but it is very easy to miss how the future of mobility in military terms will be tiltrotor bicopters because of the specific failures of the V-22 program. Keep those two things separate in your mind, the future is absolutely aircraft that look like the V-22 they just likely won’t have engines that tilt along with the rotors.

In particular one area that tiltrotors will dominate are emergency lifesaving services (whether in military or civilian contexts), it is good then that MV-75 is being built from the beginning with a medical airlift version in mind to ensure it can fulfill that potential to the maximum.

Are you thinking of the V-22 or something? The CH-53K is an absolute beast I am sure it has had issues but it is easily one of the best heavy lift helicopters on earth.

This leap was made possible by combining two advances. First, sequencing chemistry has improved, so common techniques are now accurate enough to support high-quality assembly. Second, we redesigned the assembly algorithm to better model the remaining errors in genetic data while also improving efficiency. Think of it like reading slightly blurred text—our algorithm can figure out what unclear letters should be by recognizing patterns and using context from surrounding sequences.

Maybe the headline writers are being too hyperbolic, but then again maybe the headline writers are all crabs and it is just how their eyes are all the time.

What is new is our righteousness of spirit! God is on OUR side this time!

I think

The Great War Of How About We Bomb Iran And Not Focus On The Fact That I Am A Pedo

Long name, still workshopping it.

On immigrants, he said: “We no longer share common values with people that we see in the grocery store or at our public schools, people that are at the local mall. Because we’re not from the same place, we don’t have the same formation.”

He also called for repealing the Hart-Celler Act, the 1965 law that ended race-based immigration quotas – a longtime white nationalist policy demand that has increasingly been voiced in organs of the Maga movement.

On Islam, Yarbrough said: “Our first introduction, for most of us, was 9/11. And then what happens? Then we see hordes of Islamic immigrants coming and attempting to set up Sharia law here in the United States, which is fundamentally incompatible with American citizenship.”

Fuck This Fascist

Plot Twist it is actually a photo of his asshole that he put on a banner to try to get a rise out of the libs but it backfired when he realized absolutely nobody realized it wasn’t just a picture of his face so now he is pretending very hard it is a picture of his face.

Idk, I think there was a brief 249 year span there where the US was to be honest.

Idk after having watched Star Trek a lot all I can tell you is they probably want to have sex with Riker.

The hardest workers are workers who are terrified to be whisked away to a prison in a country they have never even been to!
