Goddamn it Sean Bean. Also looking at that 2020 list...remember how fast Tiger King ascended and then crater from American pop culture in about two months? Covid-19 interestingly played a part in both.

Pretty soon we’re going to be doing a 9/11 a day. Only around 500 or so deaths needed. https://twitter.com/covid19tracking/status/1333930759539798017?s=21 Osama’s fish food corpse somewhere wishing he could have been as good at killing Americans as Trump. Oh is there any studies or analysis on what percentage of hospitalized people will wind up dying?

What are they realistically going to do? A small show of force (and no I’m not trying to excuse service members who got traumatic brain injuries as not being a big deal) and that’s it? They clearly designed it to look big, but to avoid American casualties. Honestly if that was the trade off for making Qassim part of the pavement at Baghdad international it’s , arguably, wasn’t a bad deal. Also they immediately own goaled themselves with shooting down a civilian plane...that took off from their own country. If they or more likely the IRGC (which I’d love to see a comparison analysis between it and the Kwantung Army in the 1930s) try anything big the Islamic state is going to have some very bad times. I do think it’s unfortunate that the IRGC constantly sabotages attempt by the reform minded members of the Iranian Government and people...because I belief the IRGC acts parallel to the government conducting its own foreign policy and military operations. The realities have shifted. Iran has a lot of enemies who would love nothing more then to end the Islamic Republic of Iran. Also Trump seems to not want to avoid conflict as he did previously (missile attack and the Saudi refinery) They going to try and close Hormuz? That’s going to make Praying Mantis look like a goddamn picnic by comparison (also if I recall the Iranian Navy is not in good shape anyway compared to their other branches). Trump would love to have a Ronnie moment. Launch a large scale missile attack on Israel? Yeah that will absolutely end well for them. Terrorist attack abroad (similar to Argentina), perhaps, but not the United States, because goddamn Bernie would have even clapped back at them with the military for a domestic terrorist attack on US soil. Move ahead in the nuclear program? Fine but all it does is confirm all the claims against them. They’re going to continue doing the same poo poo they always do. Deniable ops from Yemen, the Shiite Militias in Iraq, destabilizing Lebanese and supporting Assad. They wait till Biden takes office...I don’t think he’ll be able to or even will tolerate the things Trump did (not that Trump did out of strong moral strength or strategic though) without a response. I just feel they have no response that is any different from the past that doesn’t end very badly for them. Look I don’t want a bunch of dead Iranians or anyone else, but I don’t see what they can do beyond previous actions that doesn’t end badly for them. I’m not trying to be a jackass, I just don’t know what they can realistically do. Then again unlike North Korean threats I don’t view Iranian ones as idle bitching.

Genocide Tendency posted:I don't even want to try to find the twitter thread, but that was the rumor. Honestly I think inauguration Cyrus Vance needs to indict and attempt to extricate or at the least prevent them from traveling outside the country and surrendering their passports (although I’m not sure what the mechanics for that are or if it’s possible just based on an investigation). That said I could see Trump just hanging out in Florida and DeSantis refusing to extradite him. Would be amusing to have Florida be his Ecuadorian embassy prison.

Let’s be honest if your draw that job, you probably made some very poor decisions.

Hell I wouldn’t even put it past him “converting to Judaism” and claiming right of return in Israel...actually I could see Jared and Ivanka (who obviously don’t need to convert) doing that too.

Flying_Crab posted:I'm not big into group road cycling like that, but if you're doing 50-100 mile rides you've gotta go somewhere. Fault the government for not building proper infrastructure. Victim blaming of people hit by cars, or being mad at those using the only (made mostly around cars) infrastructure available is gross and one of those most infuriating things that American society mostly accepts wholesale. Trust me these aren’t 50-100 mile things. It’s white peoples in the suburbs. I’m not even talking about a danger aspect (honestly I’m more terrified having to go around then in one lane roads..or that have inclines and you can’t see over it) or lol you got hit, honestly I haven’t read of any cases in my area (and unless you’re a Nazi or Confederate on a bike I’d feel horrible hitting someone). It’s more goddamn pick a better location (and speaking to this people I encounter...not you obviously. It’s because they want the hills and dips vs flat. But at the same time you don’t do 100m breast strokes in a plastic kiddie pool. That said people have weird opinions about mandatory helmet laws, that if they were talking about seat belts you’d expect them to start talking about Ron Paul shortly afterwards. I’m also cool with programs using tax money to provide helmets to those who can’t afford them or use rental ones regularly. Marshal Prolapse fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Dec 3, 2020 |

Dr. Doom also deeply gave a poo poo about the people in his country of Latveria. You hosed with them you dead. Yeah he was also a power mad lunatic, but man found a way to save Earth in the collapse of the multiverse. Yes I’m clearly a loving dork with comic books and Dr. Doom fanboy...but holy poo poo Dr. Doom would be awesome to have compared to Trump. Oppressive and repressive yeah, but I mean one thing of interest is the people on Latveria are legit cool with it, cause no one fucks with Doctor Doom and they have a really good standard of living. Doom would have cured the drat thing himself. Honestly his greatest enemy is probably himself.

Two actually bugs me the most, but honestly I think they’re just waiting to the EC/Congress accepting it and maybe for inauguration. Then again I think most understand his legal stuff can only result in lols at this point and it’s like saying you support something and knowing nothing can be done to achieve said thing. It’s been oddly comforting to see the Judiciary not put up with any of his poo poo. I saw a headline for this earlier and didn’t realize so many didn’t respond, oddly I’m more reassured.
