What a strange thing to say

if you’re advocating from separatism from fucking San Diego I hope CSIS renditions you to Northwest Territories blacksite

This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

I think people are just used to him getting away with everything tbh. Like, part of me feels like he wiggle his way out of this jam for no other reason than the fact he always does.

Look, I think the correct way to view this whole submarine thing is to ask it this way.

Are the Iranians currently under any obligation whatsoever not to sink a troop transport in the Mediterranean carrying U.S. troops right now if they could?

UH OH

According to her calendar, Katie Wilson will literally be striping this bike lane herself next Friday??

He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.

I will simply tank the small child's worth of grease and cheese

Onion rings or mozzy sticks! I've heard your complaints but my stomach is simply built diff

a graph of seattle link light rail ridership, shown as a rolling 12M average

US transit data is out today, and Seattle's Link remains one of the fastest-growing rail systems in the nation, with ridership up 9% in the wake of the extension to Federal Way

Ridership should increase even further at the end of this month when the 1 & 2 lines are connected🧵

A whole country of mountains, and halfway decent ground forces (for the Middle East) who are well aware of it and have been planning to defend it for decades. The US military could get through if we fully committed, but the casualties would be unimaginable

My Washington State tax is going to go up and that's a good thing. We had the most regressive tax structure in the country for DECADES.

how it feels taking public transit rn

Please don’t spread misinformation. Tomahawks fly at low altitude. It’s climbing like a THAAD interceptor (we are out of interceptors).

Unironically, what air defense doing? Isn't Prince Sultan a fairly major air base to just be tanking ballistic missiles like that?

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Check in after this weekend and I'll have an answer for ya

Although the real answer is probably Gepards, as much as I like imagining a return to US SHORAD platforms, when lives are actively being lost we should prooooobably just go with something actively off the shelf. Putting some money in Europe's pocket wouldn't hurt either

Or as a crash-course emergency program, the Linebacker with some kind of proxy round for drone work? I don't think anything like that currently exists for Bushmasters, but if the need is great enough...(he copes)

If we're talking about silver linings, I was thinking the other day that if things deteriorate badly enough, this could be a good kick in the nuts for the DoD to get serious about SHORAD

Put him in coach, he's got one last game in him

I'd agree with you on most anything else, but Iran has a special feature that makes it important to global society and the US population specifically

~20% of the global oil trade and ~15% of global natural gas trade goes through that little patch of ocean. Or did, until Iran closed it a week ago

"I feel liberated," said a top banker. "We can say 'retard' and 'pussy' withtout the fear of getting cancelled... its a new dawn"

We should never ever forget why they did it

CENTCOM seeing a meaningless number you can put in a PowerPoint

This is a bad plan, it would give nothing to the bottom 40% while giving the most to people in the 60-80th percentiles of the income distribution.

Khorramabad percs got me contemplating commercial off the shelf ballistic missile components, my regional proxies WILL have exoatmospheric strike capabilities

Folks will be - legitimately - furious with the Ds that voted no (leadership whipped hard for yes), but I think it is worth looking on the other hand: 98% of House Democrats (and 1% of House Republicans) just voted to try to block the president from waging war on Iran.

Iran! The Great Evil!

I, too, think tens of thousands of people should go to prison because sometimes I smell something I don't like
