LingcodKilla posted:Lyndon Johnson would dick slap him for saying his name. LBJ wouldn't be slapping anyone. From Caro's book, Means of Ascent: quote:One prominent aspect of Lyndon Johnson's makeup, particularly notable because of the rough-and-tumble world in which he had been raised, was his attitude toward physical danger, real or imagined. To Johnson City boys, wrestling and fistfights were normal parts of growing up. Lyndon Johnson had displayed a conspicuous hesitancy and timidity at participating in these activities, or at riding an unruly horse or diving from a not very high bank into the Pedernales River-at any of the routine roughhousing of youth. And at college, if a fellow student, antagonized by him, approached him to fight, Johnson would immediately, without a single gesture of resistance, fall back on a bed and kick his feet in the air with a frantic windmilling motion to keep his foe away, while yelling, "If you hit me, I'll kick you! If you hit me, I'll kick you!"-a scene which astonished other students, one of whom says: "Every kid in the State of Texas had fights then, but he wouldn't fight. He was an absolute physical coward."

I’m watching this Axios interview with Trump and I daresay that I’ve come to the conclusion that I won’t be voting for him in November.

Pretty sure all the people needing a briefing are permanently safe now. Wasn't an Ammo Depot, apparently there was a fuel ship on fire, and it spread to some Grain/Fertilizer silos. https://twitter.com/IntelCrab/status/1290676260264448000?s=20

https://twitter.com/SVNewsAlerts/status/1290674216623366144?s=19 May have been fireworks. The  argument could be that Israel hit a warehouse in the port because it had a weapon shipment for Hizballah inside - since 2013, they’ve hit a bunch of targets (warehouses and convoys near Damascus and Homs) in Syria for transferring weapons to Hizballah, and in recent days there has been some activity between Hizballah and IDF near Southern Lebanon. I really, really hope this was a horrifying industrial accident or else it’s going to be a loving hellish few weeks in the Middle East.

There was also some sort of firework warehouse. There's another video where a user is filming that prior to the big bang and you can see all sorts of fireworks going off. https://twitter.com/SVNewsAlerts/st...ingawful.com%2F e:f;b.

They must have had an absolutely insane quantity of mixed flash powder stored in bulk for that to be a fireworks factory explosion. No way in hell it was a fireworks warehouse explosion, that was just the trigger for whatever went big boom

What is that impact-thump hitting almost simultanously with the explosion?Is that a loving seismic wave?

Per a Lebanese General inspect the site, the warehouse was used to store seized high explosive contraband and a lot of it had been there for years. https://twitter.com/LBCI_NEWS/status/1290691079159848961?s=20

So a firework factory was next to a impounded explosive warehouse, which was next to a grain silo. Were they also next to a oily rag wholesaler and kerosene distillery?

Who knows, there's a conspiracy theory that this warehouse district was implicated in Hezbollah's precision missile program. No evidence of that so far, nor evidence of an airstrike.
