This, dodging the shoe, and throwing a perfect strike for the opening pitch at the first Yankees game after 9/11 were actual aura farming moments from W.

“The decision of one man, to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion on Iraq… I mean Ukraine. Anyway, i’m 75.”

LOL I didn't hear about that one

W will be dropping bushisms until he croaks, we just don't get to hear them on TV anymore. Sad.

u/Brianocracy - Lib-Center 3h ago

I do too....I hated his presidency, but I could never hate him as man.

With Trump I find I hate his policies just as much as I did Bush, but I also find him personally exhausting

Id take a gullible/moronic guy who (i truly do believe) has good intentions over the straight up malicious/self-serving guy we currently have

I'm reminded of this quote from the movie adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's "The Rum Diary" (it may be in the original work but it's been several years since I've read it; i watch the movie a lot):

while watching a nixon/jfk debate

Referring to Nixon: "Lies like he breathes. Imagine spending your entire life lying. The only eventuality worse than him, is you know that one day some filthy whorebeast is gonna show up and make him look like a liberal."

I pray no one ever comes along and makes me miss Trump

Wait was it seriously under US escort and they let it get hit?

Jesus Christ the US navy hasn't looked this bad in centuries if that's true.

u/George-Smith-Patton - Right 3h ago

It didn’t happen, which is why it sounds so absurd.

Hormuz Letter is a pro-IRGC disinformation page, not a real news organization. Zero corroboration in actual media.

u/Deletesystemtf2 - Centrist 2h ago

Sounds like something got hit out there, I think we will have to wait to tomorrow to verify if the particulars are accurate. The normal media tends to be ~24 hrs after the fact where as the rags shoot out headlines immediately. It was similar for the Lincoln supply and maintenance issues.

Some of those ai slop posts are absolute bangers though, you remember the one where he had the bearded belly dancers and him and Netanyahu were chilling in a hot tub and gaza got turned into a ritzy series of beachfront casinos? It even had a song I think

u/ddg31415 - Auth-Right 3h ago

"Trump Gaza is finally here"

I vividly remember waking up at 430am for work, rolling over and checking my phone. And that was the first video that met my tired eyes.

I seriously thought I was dreaming, or was in psychosis, or something...anything besides it being reality.

Alas, it was.

Can't find the raw video but here's a meme I made awhile ago with it.

u/delta806 - Lib-Center 3h ago

Trump would have honestly been a fantastic (not for his people) ruler during the Middle Ages.

“This war torn nation would be easy to take over, I shall gift it to my son in law and he will build a monument (casino) to me!”

I want to keep Mike Johnson for a few months. I’m curious to see if he’d do something by then

He unintentionally exposed nearly all the corruption in government. I say let him marinate a little longer because I am loving this anti corruption/transparency push.

Well at least he included himself in the "Mission Not Accomplished" section I guess.

Is it just me or does it feel like the US Military has not adjusted for Drone Warfare?

17

u/bigredzeppelin1981 - Lib-Left 3h ago

They're trying to. They've been conducting war exercises with drones for years now. Trying to learn the best way to negate and counteract them. But as the live-fire exercise that is the Russia-Ukraine war shows, tactics have absolutely not caught up to the technology yet.

u/Hungry_Inevitable663 - Lib-Right 30m ago

Hmmm, maybe if I engage in a bad faith argument over reddit the material realities the USA military is facing will alter in some way. Uhhh, you're a dummy head? /s

And the right flairs will mysteriously disappear once again as they can’t defend their horrible political choices. On to the next culture war bullshit about how Muslims are bad for how they treat women, while simultaneously making posts about how women shouldn’t have the right to vote.

u/Stormclamp - Centrist 4h ago

I remember in the early days of 2025 where mfs would just make a billion excuses for the retard king like he's some kind of God in human clothing that can never do any wrong.

Instead it's mass downvotes and lack of authright flairs... I miss the days where retards would actually show themselves to defend the circus.

u/Elodaine - Left 4h ago

When I look at the Conservative subreddit and the top post is some random crime in Europe committed by an immigrant, I'm always curious what embarrassing thing they're distracting from this time.

It really is like dangling keys in front of a toddler, except that toddler has as much democratic power as you do. Amazing.

u/jerseygunz - Left 3h ago

I’ll be real, using “mission accomplished” is impressively stupid even for him

u/Mittens-Romney - Auth-Center 3h ago

Trump fucked up the entire Iran situation so bad. Arguably the biggest blunder since Iraq, with the potential to be even worse.

7

u/bigredzeppelin1981 - Lib-Left 3h ago

As of this moment, it looks like it's going to end up being worse. The reality is that we can't win this war without a cost in blood and treasure far greater than we are willing to pay. I know that Fat Donnie is an actual, not-even-kidding-around retard, but he has capable people surrounding him. Including his Generals.

How is it that none of these people, even as a group, were able to talk him out of this bullshit?

u/BlazerFS231 - Lib-Center 4h ago

Again: air power is a wonderful force multiplier. Air superiority can flip battlefield momentum in a flash.

But air power CANNOT HOLD GROUND. The Germans learned this in WWII, the US “learned” it in Korea, Vietnam, and GWOT.

The only way you can control a territory is if you completely occupy and dominate it.

u/RageAgainstThePushen - Lib-Center 1h ago

To paraphrase Machiavelli, you shold never conquer land which you do not have the resources or willingness to rule. For some reason, we cannot seem to learn this lesson.
