  1. Personally, I’m undecided whether to voted Conservative, Labour, or Monster Raving Loony Party this time around 😎
  2. Well, he has zero credibility anyway, so it’s possible.
  3. Apparently, I am distinctly exothermic, so sleeping separately is advantageous for the wife’s comfort. Also, 85 lbs of stubborn dog is a lot to accommodate and still be able to wiggle your feet while sleeping together. Lastly, control of the covers is rendered a non-issue.
  4. Yes, Paul Ryan is a loser. 2012 proved that.
  5. So Joe has promised not to pardon his son and respect the verdict. My take? Joe expects he won’t be the Democrat candidate in November and is relying on his replacement to do the deed.
  6. Glad to see they adopted the British method of hostage rescue … shoot anyone that isn’t a hostage. No matter their reason for being involved in keeping the hostages captive, they were by default complicit with the act of hostage taking and murder and so forfeited their reason for staying among the living.
  7. I believe Judge Merchan and the 12 jurors just gave Donald Trump the November election. i also believe the “convictions” will not survive the appeals process and that the Judge and the DA will find themselves in legal jeopardy for this “trial”.
  8. And, unlike the USA … … IT WILL ALL BE OVER IN 6 WEEKS!!!
  9. I find your post highly offensive to the LGBTQIA+WTFBBQ community, especially those birthing persons who identify as Spirit Penguins 🐧
  10. And three children who the American education system has failed to equip for life outside of TikToktopia, totally incapable of original thought, deed or drool, relying on their parents for the simplest of everyday life tasks. The Babylonbee … still failing at satire 😒
  11. The absence of basic reasoning in these people makes me think natural selection is failing at it job 🙁
  12. Got to disagree slightly here. Jimmy Carter is a good man, but made a horrible president. Joe Biden is not a good man.
  13. Where, oh where, has innocent until PROVEN guilty disappeared to in this dystopian hell of a country? 🤔
  14. The alt right and white supremacists should love the Democrats. They’re the party of racists (Joe), segregation and subjugation of minorities in this country. The folks who will vote for DJT will be the working class, the disenfranchised middle class, the aspirational minorities and anyone else who thinks the last three and a half years have seen the quality of life in this country plummet off a cliff. The “mainstream” media machine and the crony economists swear that the economy is going great guns and has never been better. Meanwhile, what the main-on-the-street sees is that this administration is confiscating those great guns with rampant real-world inflation, punitive economic and environmental policies and a denial that the real price of living these days far outstrips the published rate of inflation. That a hard truth to spin even if the whole of the media is behind you.
  15. The handbag is a traditional British weapon of political intimidation, dating back to the late ‘70s and 80s https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/article/margaret-thatcher-handbag
  16. S-300 is old, too. Turkey got dropped from the F-35 program for opting to purchase the S-400 system from Russia. The S-500 entered service with the Russian military in 2021
  17. The Russians shot one down. 🙁 And we didn’t give any to the Israelis. In fact, the MOD has considered buying the Israeli Rampage stand-off weapon to replace the Storm Shadows we sent to Ukraine.
  18. The radar was targeted to prove a point, that Iran can’t see or stop an Israeli attack. Reports have no more than 3 weapons launched by the Israelis, likely from somewhere over Syria, to show that the weapons can be launched without Iran being able to do anything about them. It also showed that whereas Israel stopped a 300+ weapon attack, Iran never even saw the Israeli attack, which destroyed the intended target with precision and impunity.
  19. It wasn’t a HARM, they don’t have enough range. And the anti-radar weapon type is a red herring. The radar was targeted to prove a point. There are reports out there regarding the weapon type, why the Iranians never saw it coming and why they are now downplaying the whole incident.
  20. If, as the article says, the weapon was launched “far from Israeli or Iranian airspace” then the 160nm range isn’t enough to reach Natanz from outside Iran. Most likely theory now is either a Silver Sparrow, or modified Blue Sparrow air-launched ballistic missile, fired from Syrian airspace. Range is 1,250nm, which is easily enough and the Iranians don’t have much that will pick up a ballistic trajectory. The irony here is that Israel usually uses these without a warhead to mimic Iranian ballistic missile to test their missile defence systems. 🤣
  21. Does it need an active signal for homing? If the missile crew never saw it coming, it’s doubtful the radar ever went active. I’m still going with the anti-radar aspect being a red herring, to throw interested parties off the scent of how they did it. Plus, it fits with the IDF not giving anything away. I mean, they still haven’t said they did it. ☠️
  22. Range is around 60nm, so that doesn’t work in this scenario. Israel’s own Delilah, with a range upward of 160nm is more likely, but again, that’s at 28,000ft. Plus, unlike the M2.0 HARM, the Delilah is a M0.7 cruise munition, so that doesn’t work either. No, this is something else.
  23. Don’t touch the border, unless it’s the House bill and that the steaming pile of excrement that originated in the retirement home, aka the Senate. It may be low-down, dirty politics, but it’s one of the most effective policy arguments the GOP has against this admiration and it’s great grandparents in the Senate come November.
