In all of his studying of military history, he must've missed the chapter on not sending in rotary in a non-permissive airspace.
He reminds me of YouTube LPers with names like Imperator Populi etc. who only play war games but also happen to be really bad at them. They're like "ok frontal attack go!" *toy soldiers all get massacred*

Also the thing about him formerly being in the movie industry. It's what makes him a canny propagandist but ... Jesus Christ.

Great job.

I'm also wondering what caused the V-22 to crash. Reports just say "hard landing." Did it get shot at? I know their engines have a problem keeping out certain types of soil in brownout conditions, basically turning the soil into glass and fusing with the engines... sputter... sputter... crash.

You're right, but when the hate mango cites it as proof that millions of people who voted illegally (incidentally in states where he lost -- totally a coincidence), you kind of have to point it out nonstop.

Bannon. Big fan of the Bhagavad Gita. So when Oppenheimer saw Trinity go off and thought "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds" and realized the enormity of what he had just created in the depressive way he looked at everything, Bannon would probably recite those words and get a MASSIVE erection as he became the God of War.

EDIT: No, I'm wrong. Oppenheimer used an interpretation of the Gita as a way of driving himself. The Prince knows that Krishna is gonna kill everyone arrayed against him anyways, there's no stopping that, so the Prince can nut up and do his duty. Oppenheimer in his manic-depressive states probably used similar reasoning. "Well SOMEONE'S gonna build the bomb, might as well be us.

Bannon though, he probably views it on the same level of Thermopylae, a great battle and a great victory with great sacrifice, the embodiment of the warrior spirit, the very climax of courage. That's...concerning.

Speaking as someone who protested through Wisconsin's Governor Walker's dismantling of public "we pinky swear cross our heart that we'll never go after private" unions where the Democratic minorities in both houses of the state legislature tried this same tactic, expect nonstop "THEY'RE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS" shrieking from the right when this hits the broader news. The hypocrisy of only having eight Supreme Court justices for nearly an entire year will not mute this in any way.

Also, expect quorum rules to change. The end game on this is fuckery around scheduling meetings, so votes can happen before the minority party even knows they're happening.

Also, expect public notifications regarding and visibility into legislative meetings to disappear, both to reduce protester presence as well as to try to sneak meetings past the minority party.

Also, expect governmental ethics/oversight to be gutted even further. Apparently it's less fun to set up a system in which all three branches of government get their strings jerked by the same puppeteer when legally mandated spotlights keep getting pointed at your shadowy poo poo.

Also, expect access to government buildings to be significantly reduced to the press, quiet activists, visitors with legitimate scheduled business, tourists, and protesters in the name of security. Combined with meeting schedule fuckery mentioned above, it becomes possible to plausibly deny physically locking members of the minority party out of where meetings are held. This actually happened in Wisconsin.

It will be harder to say trump bad to trump supporters when they can point to a thing that counteracts that in their mind.

Trump wants us to get engaged in a ground war with Iran and or Iraq because it helps the saudis and russians.

The russians have already started up their conquer Ukraine shtick since the president's phone call.
