The way I read it, the plane was airborne and ordered to turn around. The judge was woken up at 2:40am to get this done.
Rehabilitated Former GOP. 51. Not older than dirt but did the open beta. Gen-X to the Core. Not only going to Hell, I'm driving the bus. Officially too old for this shit but showed up anyway.

Mick Fleetwood's cameo was fun.
The evidence doesn't support their narrative.
Been a decent week, but much better with your smile.
In Texas??? That's like adopting Jewish foster kids into a new home in Germany, circa 1941...
No, a couple churches have been raided openly.
James Dobson, of Focus on the Family, died and my heart goes out to the generations of countless victims directly harmed by his teachings & ideologies. The only tragedy in his passing is that he didn’t die much sooner so perhaps there might have been less suffering left in his wake.
All good, I took your meaning. Wish they'd give us an edit feature.
It carried over well into the 80s. Early Motley Crue, early Pantera (still trying to process that one), Poison, Stryper. There was a lot of cross pollination with Hair Metal, but it was there. It just suffered alongside rap with little mainstream airplay because of pearl clutching mothers.
They've all been experimental. Just because you don't like the results doesn't invalidate them.
"What a drag, it must be, getting old." Commas for lyrical pauses. Good call, though.
I knew I was a codger when I did some renovation work at an old folks home in Northern Virginia, and the lounge across the hallway was playing Black Album Metallica...
The 80s also had Hair Metal, Glam Rock, and a couple others I'm probably forgetting running parallel to it. There was also what used to be called "Adult Contemporary" that today is called "Yacht Rock".
Do-wop, Bubblegum, a few other tags have been thrown at it.
What the fuck are these idiots actually targeting?
In today's least-shocking news that we all knew before, Fox staff and producers all along the election wasn't stolen in 2020 and lied for ratings. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/fac...
Mission accomplished.
Definitely got the heart racing.
I think it'll be far worse than that. Once they're incarcerated, they can be forced to work under the 13th Amendment. Basically, chain gangs of homeless Americans replacing lost immigrant labor, with VERY little legal recourse and no rights.
Nope, I misunderstood you. My mistake.
I think you're missing the sarcasm here.
Except that those points are provably false. NATO isn't weaker, it's expanding. Ukraine aid has been spotty, but it's still moving. Russia is still dealing with sanctions from the US, and they are expanding. And there's no evidence that the US is providing intelligence to Russia.
The difference here is that Trump IS an idiot, a sycophant to the dictator in question, and actually DOES want to kiss his ass... Ukraine has Russia closer to a breaking point than most people give them credit for. Afghanistan 1989 all over again. They don't need this at all.
The Munich Agreement was a bit more than what it appeared to be on the surface. Chamberlain wasn't an idiot, he knew what he was dealing with. Munich was buying time for Britain to mobilize. Sucks for the Sudetenland, but warfare is like that.
Note to Kristi Noem: It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.
You just gotta LOVE MAD MAGAZINE!!!
That's one way to look at it, but there's an underlying twist. Those ships are built in the US, meaning American jobs. If they want them in any kind of hurry, it means expanding shipbuilding capacity in the US (currently shipyards are booked out over a decade right now, just for the Navy).
The weapons sent to Ukraine were old stockpile weapons no longer in active service (mostly).
Close up. I'm a sucker for gorgeous boobs...pun intended.
Gorgeous! 🤯
Effective hostilities, maybe. The Russian military is rolling 1940s vintage armor just to stay present. They're losing men at a rate 10:1 against the Ukrainians, and they're relying on China, North Korea, and Iran to stay in contention. Will they throw bodies at the conflict, yes. Effectively? no.
Absolutely!
In the round...
Prince Andrew is also a combat vet who served in the Falklands. Wearing a uniform does not a decent human being make.
Fuckin' Zuck and his morality police bullshit.
Mommy and daddy made a terrible decision voting for Hamas.
Elf girls, yes...weird, no. Gorgeous, absolutely.
Don't say that too loudly in front of a gamer. nVidia's AI obsession has really been fucking consumers over lately.
Would be nice if he'd think about the people he's fucking over with the shit grade GPUs the game division has been cranking out. The 5000 series nVidia cards have been a fucking travesty. Cost almost as much as a new system with barely worth the cost generational improvement...
I'm about a decade out from this particular demographic, so I'll put it like this; if you've become isolated because you can't function in a world that doesn't revolve around your ego, feel free to take .22 to the head and check out. Spare the rest of us your misery. Your failure is not our burden.
Footnote on this picture. The entire human species, except for Michael Collins, is in frame of this photograph.
Michael Collins, you twit. He stayed behind in the capsule. Only two out of the three crew went down. Fucking idiots.
An internal investigation is likely all you will ever see. This IS Florida, after all.
Daft Cunt...much like Daft Punk, she manages to repeat the same thing over and over in perfect rhythm...it just never sounds as good...
Oh look, more dead morons. At least by killing their kids, there's a chance this actually burns itself out within a generation or so.
Glad I got into this series before it was on stage, then. The original cover work for this one and its two sequels were excellent.
This man couldn't be more full of shit if he were the third link in a human centipede behind Trump and Vance...
So much for that “line.”
She works for men with no morals and packs an amazing set of DSLs...need me to draw you a picture?
Snort laugh. We need humor
I know it's a special case, but DC would like to have a word with you about that...
Indeed. 😍
You get overtime, because if you work longer than 40 hours a week, you earn it. If they're on the job, doing the job, they're not "wasting" anything. They're doing the job of three people because no one else wants to do it. Cops aren't angels, but if they put in the time, they get paid for it.
Great, you have your judgement, now let's see you enforce it. Good luck. No dictator has ever been toppled peacefully; you're just going to be the first to catch a bullet when they're given clearance to open fire.

A pay raise for the county sheriff, an armored SUV for...reasons...bunch of other unrelated shit. Oh yeah, and at least a million of it was embezzled. It's not like they gave it back, they just misappropriated it.
She is a politician, herself...
This cartoonist is getting death threats for hitting the nail on the head
A military alliance between those three nations is...laughable. In a conventional sense. China's nuclear capability is moderately concerning, but their conventional forces, not so much. Countries that have actually used their "best" gear report it to be TEMU grade junk.
Superman is a refugee from a planet where they ignored scientists warning them about catastrophic environmental changes so of COURSE the right has decided to hate him.
With high performance engines, using less than the recommended octane will damage the engine.
In terms of mechanics, BG3 is the cat's meow. BG2 just had a better story, to me.
If you can handle isometric games, I'd recommend the Shadowrun series and Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader.
Putting Baldur's Gate 3 over Baldur's Gate 2 is a travesty. The graphics might be better, but Shadows of Amn was a far superior story. David Warner was epic as Jon Irenicus.
When has she ever not been a bought and paid for whore?
You are a fucking moron...
A third sold us down the fucking river over Gaza.
BEHOLD! The Power of Maryland!
Rules for thee but not for me. This isn't about those who want this, but those who otherwise oppose it. They're domesticated, housebroken. Too tame to properly bite. They'll hold hands & sing khumbaya in protest around the same bonfires where the bodies of the people they want to save are burning.
I doubt it, Americans are too domesticated for most effective action. Although, there was that one city in California that kinda got it right.
90% tax rate on the highest incomes...they overlook quite a few key details.
Seriously.
He sucks his own cock better than Scaramucci ever did...
What's remarkable? The fact that she's still breathing is a travesty. Every breath she will ever take until she's in a non-descript hole in the ground is a crime.
Yeah, US politics of the 1950s are nothing to be proud of, but here we are, 70 years later, dealing with the fallout from it. History is the nightmare it is, I just want to outlive it. If it's us or them, I chose us.
Maybe, maybe not. The Japanese were fanatic beyond zealous to their cause. You don't bonzai charge Marines with automatic weapons with a glorified steak knife if your mindset is within hailing distance of rational...
If it weren't for that bombardment, we would never have taken Iwo Jima. That the bombardment didn't stop them is less a statement on the effectiveness of bombardment than it is a statement on how utterly brainwashed the Japanese army was to their cause...
Don't be my enemy, maybe? Kinda how it works. If you want to sing campfire songs with a government utterly hostile to your existence, that's on you. Someone my government has to bribe not to kill me probably isn't someone I'm going to hold a favorable opinion of.
Powerful in the sense that cockroaches are hard to eliminate once they're entrenched. It didn't go unnoticed how quickly he buried himself in secrecy once Israel had air superiority over his own capitol.
No one forgets, but when it's an "us vs them" scenario, you close ranks, or you spend a LOT of time in the minority. This willingness to march in lockstep is why Republicans can still dominate in a country that largely despises them. Murkowski and Collins built their careers on this principle.
Not unusual. Political success is ultimately founded upon allies of inconvenience.
And here I thought she came over on an H1-BJ visa...
Not that it matters. The floodgate is open, the people his movement have empowered aren't going to give up and go home just because he's gone. This is going to haunt us for a VERY long time, and there exists the terrifying possibility his successor will be worse. Imagine someone mentally competent..
We’re not talking about this enough.
No, the money belonged to the government they overthrew. And after their bullshit with the US embassy and the hostage mess, fuck'em.
wait until they had finished before doing something about it.
Which is fine, except that it's also an admission that the only thing keeping Iran from pursuing weapons was a flat out bribe. And once the deal was broken (stupid as that was), they immediately went back to developing the weapon, and the only reason we're upset about the bombing is that we didn't
Oh sure, suicide bombing airliners, the old standby. Right now, the US is the villain on the world stage, nothing like dead civilians to enhance that image. That would just play right into Trump's hands by giving him actual, legitimate grievance to avenge. That kind of shit is a typical Tuesday.
Whatever your opinion of the order being given is, the United States Air Force doesn't fuck around when the order is given.
Yes. Remember that before Trump busted the deal with Iran, outside inspectors had been to the facility, it's no mystery where they had it. Photos have been posted of the bomb damage assessment. They hit the mark...hard. 12 bombs, 6 holes. Looks like they doubled up for deep penetration.
And how is this different than any other day? What are they going to use, harsh language? Their air force is gone, their navy is marginal. If Israel keeps it up, their economy is headed for disaster, so how do they plan on paying their proxies? Free tickets to paradise? Isn't that the current plan?
Not really. Letting them know it was coming accomplished to things. 1) It established that they were powerless to stop it, even if they wanted to. 2) It prevented the very environmental disaster that hitting a nuclear facility blindsided would cause. Even an idiot gets it right once in a while.
Call me crazy, but there's no need for boots on the ground here. Iran has negligible force projection, and it's not like we're not already dealing with asymmetric terrorism on a daily basis, so actions through proxies is basically a typical Tuesday. Mission done, let them rage impotently.
Given the investment we put into the military, if they can't defend themselves from hostile assault, I have questions...
The Iranians were notified of the incoming strikes. They moved the material. Not ideal, but they no longer have the ability to create more. They've got some warm rocks for the next twenty or so years.
