Ah, yes, I do.

We must forget Stalingrad and go get that oil (that attracted me like a squirrel attracts a dog)

Facebook has a new evil.

AI bots entering conversations pushing a point of view.

Today, multiple of these bots interacting with folks on a SAVE discussion.

Beware! If you don't know the person, they have no mutual friends, & a blank profile they are probably one of these AI monstrosities.

And the day the military refuses to follow a legal order is the day the USA enters entirely new territory, politically speaking.

Technically, yes.

Would they?

I hope to never find out.

Thanks. I like to think he has a semblance of self-preservation and won't too far, though I could see the low-grade scenario, just to get it out of his system.

Still, I think even that would have blowback like he's never seen before. (at least I hope it would, but we've been down that road before)

Who would stand up to block it?

He gives the order, the bombs fly.

He doesn't have to ask or tell anyone before giving the order.

I think greater than 50, given his threatening words lately and his question a few years ago about why have them if you don't use them.

Unfortunately.

And that "watch what happens" is chilling.

He's going to use a nuke.

He is compelled.

So, he's saying they have 90% of their missiles left?

Probably understands the meaning of decimated as well as Hegseth understands no quarter.

WW3, lead by morons.

What a fucking wonderful world.

Trump vows to sacrifice as many soldiers as it takes to distract from Epstein files 'There might even be a lot more. Who knows?' president tells nation in Oval Office address

1. Trump launches a war against Iran.
2. Putin helps Iran track down and kill American service members.
3. Trump rewards Putin by lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

If Donald Trump isn’t a Russian agent, he’s going out of his way to make people think he is.

1. WTF?
2. Jews don’t believe it will be a “return.” They’re waiting for the first visit. He’s pandering to Christians.
3. WTF?????

Hegseth: "Some in the press can't stop. Allow me to make suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should it read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate.' More fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"

They can't control what's happening now, so they're trying to control what gets said about it.

All six crew members killed after US refuelling plane crashes in Iraq — BBC News The US Central Command says all six crew members died after a refuelling aircraft went down over western Iraq.

Between depleting the weapons and crashing the planes (4 now?), almost feels like Trump and Kegseth are intentionally trying to weaken the military

AI on the draft:

you can't just hand a million people rifles and expect an army overnight.

willful destruction of cultural/heritage sites or artifacts is a war crime. When it's conducted as policy, it's a crime against humanity.
Failure to take due care to avoid the destruction of cultural/heritage sites or artifacts is also a war crime or crime against humanity.

That reminds me of when HP wanted to sell computing like a utility, though I guess cloud computing does fill that role.

It's just that HP was unable to execute on that vision.

Nathan Cavanaugh, DOGE staffer w/ no expertise in federal grants, was in charge of cutting funds at the National Endowment for the Humanities using a flawed ChatGPT keyword search.

Not reading the grants.
Not evaluating the work.

Just scanning for keywords & cutting funds.

The Trump Administration Goes to War, by Any Memes Necessary

"[L]ike much of the terminally online posting that the administration has embraced to laud its immigration and other policies, the aim is a kind of brazen, joking-not-joking anti-meaning, a vibe of dominance unbounded by narrative, reason or moral argument." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/a...

His mouth isn't even open!

This is like in the movies, where they don't actually eat.

Just a photo op.

And, as one who was a kid when Bangladesh was starving, what a gross image: big cheeked (fat) man eating hamburger in starving nation.

These guys suck so bad.

Christopher Clary @clary_co It's after midnight in the UAE and I believe that for the first in many days--I believe for the first time since hostilities began--the UAE did not release numbers on the total number of drone and ballistic missile strikes upon the UAE and their success in intercepting them. Quote Christopher Clary @clary_co · Mar 10 The hit vs. intercept rate for ballistic missiles and drone attacks since Feb. 28 for the UAE through today.

so they're out of interceptors, yea?

i think my wife caught this four weeks ago, she's still not 100%

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

THIS January Platner joined a racist YouTube channel for a chat and proclaimed himself a long-time fan.

People CAN change, yes. Platner specifically and demonstrably has not

I was curious. Oil tankers carry between 3 to 84 million gallons, with most in the 14-23 million range.

The largest trucks carry around 12,000 gallons.

So, it’s about 1100 of the largest trucks to carry the load of the lower end of the average tanker (14M gallons).

No. It can’t be a solution.

Tennessee Republicans gerrymandered the state to carve up metro Nashville into three different congressional districts, and this is the result -- a large Muslim community whose own "representative" is now endangering them.

We've gotten numb to it, but what Trump/Hegseth is now doing to Anthropic—and what Trump did to the law firms—are not just tantrums, they are impeachable abuses of power. They are, in effect, executive branch bills of attainder. ...

Well, I would "truly love it" so I think that's close enough.

Ever optimistic!
