This war is only gonna take two, maybe three days at the most. Look, Trump knows more about the militaries of the world than anyone including his own generals. Theyll just scramble the B-52s and those planes you cant see even when youre looking right at them.... you know they have beeps coming out of them so the pilots and mechanics can find them on the tarmac...and in no time Hell on Earth will be unleashed. Meanwhile since the Iranians have never considered this possibility of dealing with President Superman, theyll be so flustered that theyll just give up, sign a treaty that will allow Trump Hotels, Resorts, and Golf Clubs to be built in all major cities.
What could go wrong?

(14,742 posts)I keep hitting my head on it so I'd like to get rid of it. I'd post it for sale on ebay, but it doesn't show up in the pictures. I found what think is the instruction manual, but it is invisible as well.
I'm not sure how it got there, but I gave some very nice small grey people with very large eyes some of my recent bodhi crop. They bowed, pointed to the driveway, waved, and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Anyone want a slightly used late model stealth attack ship from sirius-b?

(14,742 posts)Everything inside it becomes invisible, which makes it hard to read the instruments. I haven't figured out that part yet.
Also, I've wondered what happens if I turn on a dome light. Do people on the ground see lights in the sky?

The price of Russian and Iranian oil and natural gas will skyrocket.
But that's not what will end Trump. Putin will release the infamous "P" tape, taken from Jeffery Epstein, in which Donald Trump and William Barr are recorded boffing an underage girl. Trump's Evangelical base will not be upset by that, per se, except that Trump is seen enthusiastically groping Barr's ass.

(3,321 posts)Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.

I'm sure he doesn't know it or he would have already done it.

(14,742 posts)Unlike judges, officers have to follow orders. That's why there were no charges, or dishonarable discharge, or even discipline against those 3 soldiers
Remember that rear admiral who stood up and made bald faced lies about trumps health? Orders.
Sure, they aren't required to obey an illegal order, but we know what happens next.

(756 posts)Sometimes, I just need to fantasize about an easy way to positive change. A break from the endless spiral, that things will have to get worse before they get better.
Can't we just eject, float back to earth under a parachute and let the war machine crash into a mountainside.

(11,261 posts)All those years of trying, down the tubes. I think it is time we left. After ten years in Nam Walter Cronkite said "We did the best we could" and the country agreed. We left and peace was nice for the people. For me it is time for that again. Let the people find their own way.
