This will surely make gas prices go down!!!

I need something stronger than an exclamation point here. ‼️

Art of the Deal, baby.

Isn’t this a security risk?

Suppose one of the bets are for timing of boots on the ground.

Iranian intelligence intercepts this and prepares defenses. More Americans die because of their greed.

Read that as Freak Steak, as in, Trump’s steaks that he sold at The Sharper Image which was a business flop.

Why will they not come to my aid after I’ve publicly bashed them a dozen times?

He’s got some Swiss Guards. They’ve got halberds and very conspicuous attire that isn’t camouflaged at all.

Might as well send them though.

This speaks to a more general problem I’m having following this war: struggling to find actual factual reports from what’s happening.

Between Trump’s unhinged tweets and Hegseth’s bloodthirsty machismo, trying to get anything from the US is like talking to a bucket.

Edit: I was thinking about the C-130 and it’s role in this based on the article. It is technically possible to perform an extraction with such an aircraft with the Cold War era CIA Fulton STARS “Skyhook” device, you might remember it from a scene in The Dark Knight when Batman exfils someone quickly from a building. A balloon is sent up and the C-130 grabs it, along with whoever is attached to it.

I don’t think this is likely because the downed pilot would have to have such a system ready to go (unlikely if you’re downed from another plane), a balloon would be a giant “here I am” to the Iranians searching for him, and the timing and execution would need to be precise and flawless. And if it happened, no doubt it would be reported on by someone, somewhere.

What about Sataists who reject the Cult of the NVMe?

That prize used to mean something and now it’s irreversibly tarnished.

Aren’t blondes his type though? You’d think he’d stack his administration with them, Like a bunch of Karoline Leavitt / Kayleigh Mcannany clones.

Another strange aside was when she held up a piece of A4 paper showing how many minutes three news programs had spent reporting on the shooting of a young woman in Illinois during the evening news, supposedly proof of the “mainstream” networks’ love of murderous immigrants because the man charged with shooting her is of Venezuelan descent (his immigration status remains unclear.)

A4? Do they even sell that in the US? All I’ve ever seen is 8.5" × 11" (Letter), of PC Load Letter fame.

🙄

Everybody knows it’s just a bag with different things in it.

If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation, and we will kill you.

A previous statement by Hegseth some time ago. Man, this guy’s bloodthirsty.

The lack of a transponder on the fire truck most definitely would be a contributing factor. The lack of any visual indicators on ATC screens would lead one to believe that the runway is clear when it isn’t.

Those are some fine angles, mmhmmm

Did they have to use a comically large burlap sack with a giant 💰 on it?

However, Washington has not issued any official statement. The Pentagon said its operations are going as planned, with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the US is “winning decisively” and that Iran’s air defences have been “flattened”.

I see we’re going full Baghdad Bob here.

This does not seem like it will make the DOW go back to 50,000 so Trump will likely throw a hissy fit on Truth Social.

The Iran War is both almost completely finished and barely getting started. Makes so much sense 💁‍♂️
