Any show with Jeri Ryan in skintight clothes is an excellent idea.- The Supremes
Yeah, Trump couldn’t keep that shit to himself. Which is why they would never tell him if we had made contact with aliens.- ICE activity/raids
It's the colonels/generals we need to worry about and Hegseth never had it in him to make it that far. The junior officers who have to give the final orders will absolutely cover their asses. The My Lai massacre has been taught at West Point and in ROTC programs in the past, where you had a commanding officer giving conflicting orders, giving illegal orders, etc., and he tried to take a lot of officers down with him, above and below him. Lieutenants all the way up to generals were originally prosecuted, although Calley was the only one to really be punished (originally given a life sentence, but Nixon). Two generals lost their ranks, their positions, and their Distinguished Service Medals were stripped. It was called the "Medina Standard" but I don't know if it's called that anymore, but basically officers are responsible for crimes committed by those under them while on duty.- Trump’s America
Most MAGA don't know this and Trump probably didn't. And the only MAGA who would know that we used to have more bases in Greenland were the boomers who served on those bases.- Building a gaming PC
I have not pulled the trigger yet, but I know the 5060s would be a nice upgrade from some more reading, especially for the price point. We might see a lot of used ones pop up as people run into brick walls on upgrading in the future and are stuck to a very limited line of cards, and might have to accept 5070s/5080s as the best they can get.- Greenland
I'm guessing he will claim that NATO moving forces to Greenland means it's now more secure from Russia/China, maybe we open another base or two back up that we closed in the 90s/early 2000s (although Congress would have to approve that) and call it a day. And he'll go after Iran and that will be a big distraction and if we somehow cripple their leadership, he will lobby hard for his being acknowledged as bringing peace to the Middle East. Hell, I'd admit that removing the current Iranian leadership would be a huge step towards a safer region, since in theory it could diminish some of the larger terrorist organizations.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Podcast I listen to occasionally talking about how big of a deal it was for France to start supplying a lot of intelligence. It takes more leverage away from the US which is good. Russia can talk shit about France all they want but they won’t do shit.- Star Trek Megathread
I think Pike in SNW is in the same vein as the Pike that inspired such loyalty/love in TOS Spock. We always think of Spock and Kirk but Spock and Pike - Spock lied to Kirk and stole the motherfucking Enterprise to get Pike to Talos IV, knowing he was going to face a court martial or worse I don’t think Spock would risk his career and life for a commander like Sisko.- Greenland
Putting aside that the administration does try to toe the line on Congressional approval, even if they engage in gymnastics and claim direct ties to Iranian or Hamas or Hezbollah groups, there is another major facet on the Congressional side He’s already open paranoid and distrustful of Congress and openly wonders why Republicans in Congress keep voting on things he doesn’t like. He’s publicly declared he’s afraid of being impeached, and multiple Republicans have said impeachment is on the table if he invades Greenland. I do think if he was not paranoid/afraid of Congress, he might have moved forces up there just to intimidate them.- Greenland
The good news is, he's only playing word games. It'd be one thing if he moved a carrier group up there and started having B-52s fly over but there is no Congressional authorization and over 80% of Americans oppose it. The major military actions his administration has engaged in, they've made sure to try and link to Congressional authorization/resolutions - even fucking Venezuela, they tried to classify fentanyl as a WMD (even though China provides it) and they were making all kinds of connections to Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, etc. (and I'm sure they tossed in ISIS somewhere). Unfortunately, everybody keeps telling him to STFU and he's too proud to back down and admit he fucked up. So, regime change in Iran, here we come!- What's happening in Iran?
- Greenland
Denmark has a little agreement that we signed off on in 1916 as well.- ICE activity/raids
He might be able to get away with that, but you know some of the Proud Boys in ICE costumes are going to hit up the Cubans.- Greenland
That is an impotent man raging that he can do nothing about something he is fixated on. He's angriest when he's told "no" and can find no way around it. Like his anger against Pence in 2020/2021. As I said, we'd be fucked if he was moving carriers into the North Atlantic and aircraft to New York, but he's just going to rage through social media and imagine that the tariff war works. If the Supreme Court yanks the tariff rug out from under him, holy shit will it be hilarious.- ICE activity/raids
In an election year, literally 4-5 months before a major election? Georgia, Texas? He can do this shit in blue states and it won't matter if they stay blue. But red states, especially Georgia? That's giving away points.- ICE activity/raids
This makes me think the stories about him not trusting the National Guard are true, since there are quite a few more MP units in the NG, and many NG have received at least cursory riot control training. But his use of the NG in this capacity was also shot down. You are both right as well - this is not what they signed up for at all, and even if the rank and file only care about getting laid and getting paid, the platoon and company commanders who would have to issue the final orders are educated and absolutely care about their careers. While many of us who have served or served alongside the military, have dealt with our fair share of idiot lieutenants, something as serious as this is not going to be carried out through a verbal chain-of-command/orders - your junior officers are absolutely going to demand everything in writing, and they've had courses where lawful and unlawful orders were discussed and they've seen the movies where senior officers fucked over junior officers. If some lieutenant colonel who is full-on MAGA gives them verbal orders to do something drastic, they will get it in writing, they will talk amongst each other, and they will most likely get confirmation from above said light colonel. And Whiskey Pete managed to draw a shitload of attention to what Kelly was saying about obeying illegal orders. I don't think Trump trusts the military as a whole either - he's slandered some of the people that the military holds in the highest esteem. All he needs in an election year is an Army unit saying they are not going to follow orders to kill American civilians or some whistleblowers leaking plans. Or worse, American soldiers standing aside as protestors walk by. He knows ICE will crack skulls. They might try to use them in some kind of support role, away from the riots, but even that's flimsy. He didn't even bother ordering up a force that could actually take and hold Venezuela, and I'm still curious about that - did somebody tell him he could probably get away with going after Maduro and stealing oil tankers, but not putting soldiers on the ground, guarding Chevron pipelines?- 2026 Midterms ...
Trump encourages Rep. Julia Letlow to primary Sen. Bill Cassidy On the one hand, he hates Cassidy and he may have seen internal polling numbers showing she would beat Cassidy. On the other hand, if things go south for Trump before January, he's going to need Cassidy, so it's risky. Plus, as with Cornyn and others, an endorsement may cost them votes - I doubt a Trump handler told him that directly, but they would know that in some races, Trump is a negative.- Greenland - Tassa Eller Asu !!!!
There are Republicans publicly bitching about Greenland over the last few weeks. Whether they are talking directly to him or not, they are publicly saying not to do it and don't think he doesn't see shit they say on social media. Less than 20% of Americans want this. We're fucking with an organization that can tank our economy and send us into a depression that none of us can imagine, and that's literally the best weapon they have to fuck with us and get Trump out of office. When Trump started talking shit about Venezuela, he was moving military assets into position in the area. When he talked shit about Iran, he started moving assets into position and they'll be in place later this week. If he thought he could take Greenland militarily without any blowback, he would have been moving assets instead of engaging in a 5-month long tariff war.- Trump’s America
Good for American consumers, but I'd hate to be Cuba when that happens. They need to beat up on somebody.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
But not surprised.- ICE activity/raids
This is the other problem for them. They can't even get Minneapolis under their control with a few thousand agents, and it's a city of 425,000. They'd be lost in the largest cities in Texas, not to mention more people out to fuck with them, film them, etc. And yeah, as you said, Abbot and others would be constantly confronted with this shit in an election year (a huge year for Texas). And their donors will suffer economically.- ICE activity/raids
Putting aside Trump's hate for Walz, Minneapolis is perfect for them to fuck around and tell their base they are doing something, because it's not actually impacting much, if any, of their base. For all of the talk of the major cities in Texas being blue, there's a lot of red/MAGA types that are in and out of those cities doing business or shopping or visiting or whatever, not to mention the outskirts that have plenty of MAGA. Texas is not like Minnesota, where the only consequence is a bluer Minnesota as well. Shit if they tried to deport even just a few thousand immigrants a day in Texas, imagine the economic fallout by election time if they had booted out 600,000 illegal immigrants between now and November. That's a fuckload of lawns not being mowed, a fuckload of siding not installed, a fuckload of roofing not replaced, a fuckload of streets and buildings and homes in general not being built, a fuckload of crops not being dealth with, a fuckload of offices and homes not being cleaned, a fuckload of food not being cooked, a fuckload of surburban housewives not getting fucked by the poolboy or lawnguy, and so on and so forth.- Greenland
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115911344443637897 We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA- Trump’s America
it’s an elderly toddler not getting his way. He’s playing dumb about why NATO is deploying troops up there because he knows there’s nothing he can do about it and more importantly there’s nothing he’s willing to do militarily. His impotence is on full display Wake me when he sends a carrier group or two up there and has the Air Force moving lots of aircraft to New York. He telegraphed Venezuela and he’s telegraphing Iran. He’s throwing tariffs around because the American public seem willing to tolerate them. - Star Trek Megathread
