Brilliant.
Can’t even spell “bon appétit” correctly. Also incredibly rude.
All I can confirm is gravity sucks.
But man, what a ride.
Maybe they could get sent to CECOT instead.
I hope the wv governor is happy
Or good ones.
And Trump for round two.
Imagine firing all the Iraqis for flipping us off. Oh we did. It did not end well for us. Useless invasion
Bravo
Definitely not going to ask
Ummmmm. I am not going to ask.
That is true
If it brings me pleasure and others angst, I’m in.
From a steely eyed airborne ranger to a knitter. Ok, I was never steely eyed.
If it annoys people :)
Also
Bourbon, whiskey, cigars…
Brilliant.
Wicked
Plus, going to one of my reunions and breaking out the needles might leave some aghast
Potato potahto.
I’m uncoordinated as hell. There will be much blood letting which may lead to blood poisoning
Dual use as chopsticks.
I was thinking about knitting.
People are seriously going to get hurt as a result of these incompetent elections.
Sucks to suck We lived in Africa for a few years. My mom got malaria her last year there We took all the meds.
Mid SECDEF…
Well the beauty is that those of us who know will have the pleasure of watching the rest find out. Kinda a hollow victory because we’re on the same stupid boat…
Chumbawamba - I get knocked down
Most excellent for tread heads everywhere
Indeed. Also wicked jealous - in a good way. I love Japanese food. Curry is most excellent.
My out of office may still be out there since I was DOGED and lost access to my account. So yeah, I’m dead. Probably.
That is excellence
Going to. Although it feels like we are in a never ending gong ringing in our collective soul.
Another sobering choice by an incompetent administration. This is gong to take a long time to recover from, if we ever get to a point where we can recover.
The surprise is epic. You are awesome.
Ayup
Yeah. I always thought our doctrine was boring. The marines have it better. Joint doctrine is sometimes akin to olde English and excruciating.
She is a pillock
Ayup. ¡Que se joden a los rusos!
These cabrones are going to cause a lot of harm. Thanks for sharing the list - I’ll claim it all.
Winning.
Without honors.
The fact that he is an SES is mind boggling.
I’d say 10/10
He’s probably really disappointed
Infantry handwarming machine
It sounds awesome.
Most excellent. I can smell the jp8
The feet
What @mg1986smitht.bsky.social said - No.
A bit early for st Patrick’s day…
Nice
Wear pants. Or silkies. Drinking coffee may help you wake up before you wander off into the wilderness pantless.
Your toe has a cold?
Being an asshole is generally is a really fucking stupid idea. But from the interaction, zero quarter should be given by Tressie.
Winning
I’ll agree that it is morning…the rest depends on the coffee.
This will go down as one of the dumbest things a president has done. So far. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better. If it gets better.
What @hcrichardson.bsky.social posted. This are going to get a lot more complicated before they get better. Part of the role of POTUS is to be a national unifier and visionary. In this, we appear to have fallen well short of the mark. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
Seen scenes.
Most awesome!
That is brilliant!
Love tanks. Now a himars and a paladin…
Happy birthday - multi faceted.
Some you can split the screen. I have two decent ones. My “gift” from usaid can run two monitors but my Mac can’t. Time time to upgrade.
Sweet monitor setup.
Danke
Tonkish
Do you have the time stamp? I’d love to find it and embarrass him…then again, he has no low
My shocked face
Everything is a tank. Just ask @magtravf.bsky.social
And no, war is never “easy”. It is incredibly destructive and painful and comes at a huge cost
Fighting a war is relatively easy - if you have the right capability, but we rarely ever think of the day after and what next. We are very good at breaking things but not so good at the long game. If we spent more time on the long game, we’d break fewer things.
Hard agree although maybe more strategic hubris. I served for a few years, spent my youth as a dependent of a diplomat. There is value in having a potent defense but when more money is spent on defense than diplomacy, domestic social programs, foreign aid, and building alliances…then we lose.
Shinseki told Rumsfeld what it would take to occupy Iraq, the invasion’s success wasn’t necessarily in doubt. Shinseki was fired We did did the invasion on the cheap, it went as predicted. Iraq was a mistake DImE Not diMe
As good a whitewash as I have seen. The AP story seemed equally not impressed.
Very bad
Need
Awesome. Thank you.
Alas the best this administration can do is DC
Good question. Kofeefee probably
He may want a year at the war college to get spun up
Netanyahu is really a hot mess
True indeed.
So laughing because it is true
They is true. Ours get blueberries and popcorn….and everything else 🤣
To be fair, when driving around Kabul, I couldn’t wear my seatbelt because I was carrying an extra 60 lbs. I barely fit behind the steering wheel.
