How is it smart? Honest question, because it strikes me as pissing off the countries that charter those ships as well as the oil companies (boo hoo, but they have pull with all their money).

Fuck sake, now he’s threatening third-party vessels with his malevolent idiocy. This is a big misstep of an escalation, no?

100%. People having their lives ruined without proof of guilt is unjust.

It’s worth pointing out that there must be proof beyond allegations here, but so far that’s all we have.

I don’t know anything about Swalwell beyond that he’s running for governor, possibly making him a smear target by his opponents.

If he’s guilty then lock his ass up. But that takes proof. Makes me wonder what Ruben Gallego knows since he flipped from supporting Swalwell to pulling his endorsement over the past few days.

Something tells me you’re one of those who parks it in the passing lane going at or below the speed limit.

I agree, and beyond that I don’t care for SRV’s cover at all.

I find it overdone as with most of SRV’s stuff. The chugga-chugg hand hand rake trick he puts in everything all the time just kills the vibe, especially at the turn. When he does back off and give the song some space he seems lost.

I think the song was special to Jimi and he felt that less is more, so he didn’t fuck with it. The result leaves you wanting more from the original…but that’s the hallmark of a great artist.

Got my first 8 stitches from playing on one of these. Lost my balance sitting on the bar, flipped over, and smacked my head into the base platform. Still have the scar.

I wouldn’t be surprised if imposing martial law led to a series of events that culminated in a civil war.

Unless someone with opportunity eliminated Trump from office by one means or another immediately after he sent the order. This would probably be the best path to avoid having the country rip itself apart.

Any major news outlet has a duty to report statements from sovereign nations engaged in war. Obviously.

It’s important to keep perspective on what is right and what’s normal, tiring as it is lately. We have to challenge this moron’s tyranny at every little step, lest any of the insanity become normalized.

I’m glad it’s being reported. But like so much of the news, nobody has any right to feel surprised since staffing the cabinet with loyalist yes-men leads to these types of consequences.

In practice your experience may vary. I went to pay at a Boots with a £20 Scottish note in England once, and the cashier was initially hesitant to accept it. Ultimately she did. That was the only time I tried it.

Upon taking office, President Trump pushed to downsize the agency and shift the responsibility of disaster response toward states. Under his former homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, Mr. Trump moved to slash the agency’s funding and staff.

So Drumpf threw a bone to an incompetent, loyal, delusional moron by putting him in a leadership role at an agency he wants to undermine.

Call me crazy, but I think this could be part of a larger pattern.

And if so it would be a real shame if any of that were to leak. I mean it would serve him right for removing such an obviously competent and loyal AG.

But that would be unconscionable. Right?

When you get no travel money, but the trigger finger still gotta pull some shit

At first I thought we were finally going to learn the fate of that Russian.

My gf and I thought we saw a disappearance in the mid-90s as well. This was next to an area with rented horse stables and the like.

We saw a girl walk into a fairly small grove of trees, didn’t think much of it, but it was noteworthy because we’d never seen anyone wander in there. It was on the edge of the property and there wasn’t much else around the trees.

After a bit we went to check on her, nothing. Nobody we could find among or on the other side of the trees. She probably had kept going out the other side or emerged when we weren’t paying attention, but at the time we were convinced she had vanished.

My very first conspiracy theory: Space fuckery. I’ll lay out the dots and you can connect them.

On the morning of March 19 or 20, I observed what I was certain at the time was my first meteor sighting. This was in the greater Dallas area.

Skip to Sunday I found a story about meteor sightings reported in Houston and other areas. The sightings were from the previous day, March 21.

Since last weekend there have been further meteor reports across the US.

On Thursday March 26 there was a visible missile launch from the Cape Canaveral Space Force station.

This is all in good fun for me. But with this administration and the blunders in Iran, it won’t surprise me to learn later that they had something to do with it.

THAT’S it! Thank you. Pretty sure I’ve never heard the lyrics before now.

Hey thanks, didn’t know about that site. Here we go:

No, though I think it’s another one hit wonder

No, it’s an orchestra
