No regime change, but we want the regime to change.

I wish game studios and gaming journalism would simply recognize that "collab on skins in other games" is not actually new content. I'm tired of the cash grabbing and, often, ruining the visual style. (Admittedly you can't ruin the visual style of Fortnite, it's already cooked).

The White House Comms director is a 43 year old college drop out whose job experience is working for UFC social media. It's basically guaranteed he is terminally 2010s tumblr brained.

What do you mean "we're in it?" We could simply not be in it if they run out of money for it!?

How does no one see that? Even if Trump raids other parts of the budget, he and the Republicans would own it alone instead of Dems giving them cover.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

They've already abdicated. We functionally do not have a Congress. Both chambers have defeated War Powers Resolutions. It's over. They're out of session next week again for district work periods. They're gone.

Obviously the answer is Ditto after I ask it to transform into a delicious beef wellington.

Damn, that sucks. If only there were someone who could have just not done this.

I think people have forgotten that the Iraq War had intended policy outcomes from the outset but was vague on how to accomplish it:
(Invade -> Depose Saddam -> ??? -> Democracy)

The Iran War is not vague on methods but is on policy outcomes:
(Bomb everything -> ??? -> New Leader??? -> ???)

Whispering "fuck it, we ball" to myself over and over again as I try to get my 80,000 ton ship to dodge drone swarms and missile attacks unprotected.

To be fair, I also get why Rand Paul's neighbor did what he did.

I mean when else are you going to be able to shoot your shot with a disgraced soon-to-be-former Cabinet secretary who is on record not denying that she's actively having an affair?

I'm not saying that Iran doesn't have the capacity to harm at this point, but calling the new Ayatollah Khamenei "the most dangerous man in the world" right now is kinda obscene.

When else are you supposed to be a War Powers Resolution if not during an undeclared conflict, you bozo?

If Trump wants Zelenskyy’s help against drones, I think JD Vance to have to fly to Kiev, and sit in the Ukrainian equivalent of the Oval Office and say, β€œThank you.”

Yeah, man, our pilots were in danger from the moment the administration decided to attack Iran without any attempt at deconfliction with their allied air defense networks. It's not a conspiracy, its bad planning.

Given that Iran has been a particular bugbear for CENTCOM and the clique that supports this war, I'm consistently surprised by how little updating/planning seems to have gone into actually launching strikes against their most hated enemy.
