I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Has Israel ever thought of not antagonizing their neighbors? Tough to give a poo poo about what happens to them.

Give plenty of warning, launch some missiles that will be counterfired, call it a day

Y'all just generally need to chill at the moment, sheesh. Don't even know if this will turn out to be nothing, a little, or a lot.

Edit: exactly what Nick said!

For instance:

https://twitter.com/glcarlstrom/status/1779271921076519236?t=Iax0kOd-q525ZWNjlbNBQw&s=19

That could mean it's just enough to appease hardliners to send some poo poo to get intercepted, or could be a big attack. Block/mute people trying to tell you otherwise at the moment.

I would gladly forego bad things happening to people who deserve it if it meant it also wouldn't happen to those who didn't.

I would also like a billion dollars, or functioning healthcare, one of which is probably more likely than the other two

Everyone involved right now is saying the attack is over and sure sounds like it's going to be contained. Even Israel is whining to the United Nations about it instead of rattling sabres and promising counter-attacks.

Everyone chill with the World War III talk, that's Donnietalk poo poo.

The funny bit is that this could be the offramp everyone's looking for. Iranian hardliners got their attack. Israel gets a public opinion shift - hell, their neighbors outright let them use their airspace to shoot down poo poo.

And on the domestic side:

Outside chance he sticks to covert poo poo, like usual. I'm remembering when Donnie outright assassinated Soleimani in Iraq, Iran bombed the poo poo out an American base in response, and our end counter-response was mouth noises. Got lucky then though that there was just a shitload of TBIs and no deaths.

lol apparently the CYBERTRUCK!!!!!! has a nationwide stop sell order and is likely going to get an emergency recall. No this isn't for the plastic tire covers digging in to the tire side walls and threatening to blow them out at speed that was the last one. This one is for the accelerator pedal. The pedal has a stupid cover on it so it looks CYBER!!!!!-ized, and the cover can work it's way loose. Pretty bad. But wait there's more! When it gets loose it slides up off the top of the pedal where the foot well has a conveniently placed crevice that the pedal cover slides right in to, getting wedged in and holding down the pedal at almost max value.
