Strait of Hormuz is closed again.

Hydrogen peroxide peels paint

the pool contains 6.5 million gallons of water

to treat that volume of water for algae you need between 6500 and 19,000 gallons of hydrogen peroxide depending on the strength

however, the stronger the hydrogen peroxide mix the more paint stripping will occur

Remember this was a no bid contract

So it appears that the hydrogen peroxide they added to the pool to kill the algae is stripping the paint from the reflecting pool.

SO

MUCH

COMPETENCE

Will this last 48 hours?

And FWIW regarding the tattoo I think it patently ridiculous he didn't know what it was-the totenkopf.

The totenkopf skull and crossbones is an extremely well known symbol in military circles.

Like the anchor and globe symbol for the marines.

I can definitely see an idiot 23 year old marine in Croatia getting a totenkopf tattoo, because he was stupid.

Platner at least recognizes the mistake and apologizes for it.

I want to point out that I asked for a specific thing-proof or evidence that Platner has done anything remotely naziesque.

The best response the lying POS could provide were allegations of poor behavior treating women.

Not racism
Not authoritarianism
Not fascism

Just allegations of "abusing women"

So, jeff could not document or demonstrate Platner is a nazi when the Lying POS called him one.

Shall I remind Jeff that Piggy dined with actual self-proclaimed nazis?

Look at his fricking tattoo and how he's described it. It's okay to hate all things right of center AND call out this POS for who and what he is.
But it's all binary with you.

Provide evidence anything Platner has done or said other than get a tattoo that is naziesque

I won't bother waiting for you to respond honestly.

So Iran would risk massive bombing in retaliation for a grand total of $120000?

Gee you're special

Piggy could not care less about this war. He is bored with it. He has said that.

And, I forgot to add something.

"Peace" or a "deal" with Iran will require peace with Israel.

Let that sink in.

The war will not end until there is peace in the middle east between Israel and their neighbors.

How difficult could that be?

This is the new normal.

I am honestly shocked that pundits think a "deal" is forthcoming.

I expect nothing from the MSM, their too corporate and cowardly to report the truth or even frame this illegal, unjust, unjustifiable war in the proper light.

But someone in the pundit class surely should be able to see the obvious conclusion of the simple facts reported.

Remember to end this war, Piggy has to get Iran to agree to give up their control of the strait.

With what bargaining chip?

Sanctions relief? Money?

---- that can snap back the minute commerce is flowing again?

NOPE

You think Iran is going to trust Piggy who cravenly bombed them during negotiations, during peace time, without warning, without notice, without any justification, TWICE?

The cowardly sneak attack that killed the Iranian leader and his family including babies

You think Iran is going to believe ANY assurance from Piggy?

NOPE

We are in the new normal.

Just remember this obvious point, Piggy's announcements are NOTHING MORE THAN MARKET MANIPULATION.

Look at today's stock market.

There was a massive drop a couple of hours BEFORE the copter going down was announced.

Was that insider knowledge? Of course it was. That shorting of the market has happened every time Piggy makes an announcement.

This is your corrupt government.

This is the new normal.

Funny thing I heard today.

CNN has had 37 or 38 headlines that Piggy was announcing a deal to finish the war was imminent. 14 weeks, 37 times Piggy said the war was just about won.

Over 2 and a half times a week or once every 2 and half days Piggy has announced the end was near.

See a pattern?

This is the new normal.

Get used to it

6 months from now Piggy will be saying the exact same thing

It means the Iranians could shoot at a rescue helo, but can't send out their own boats to nab the pilots, nor detect and engage the rescue boat.

#10 | Posted by sitzkrieg

Why would they do that?

Why bother nabbing the pilots?

What in that action is to their benefit?

Isn't Iran sitting pretty right now? No "hot" war and getting revenue from controlling the strait.

Why would Iran put that in jeopardy by capturing a couple of pilots that Piggy would have to retaliate massively?

People fail to understand that Iran has everything they want

This is the new normal, Iran controlling the strait, taking a toll on every ship that passes, paid for by the rest of the world.

That is not going to change any time soon.

So, yeah, grabbing a couple of pilots would be about the worst thing they could do.

Now if they DID shoot down the copter, it shows, at relatively low cost/risk they are capable of projecting force.

Which helps them control the strait.

This is all pretty simple, seems most people haven't caught on yet.

Just a few things we are currently involved in

1. An illegal, immoral, unjust and unjustifiable war of aggression against Iran, MASSIVELY incompetently implemented btw. This war was started with a COWARDLY, sneak attack, during negotiations, which murdered the Shia pope and babies.
2. Actively supporting the Israeli genocide and pogroms against Palestinians and their illegal, immoral war of aggression and conquest of Lebanon
3. We are murdering Venezuelans without justification or legality.
4. We have instituted an unjust, unjustifiable, illegal and immoral blockade of Cuba resulting in the death of children.
5. We have ICE agents gunning down US citizens in the street
6. We have corruption on a mindboggling scale
7. We have wholly incompetent and corrupt people running critical national security agencies
8. We have a president threatening our elections.
9. A Supreme Court that for the first time in our nation's history stripped rights from its citizens.
10. Our Dept. of Defense apparently denying thousands if not millions their chosen recognized faith.

This is just a few items

250 years of our country has led us to the Maga movement. A movement of hateful bigots, cognitive morons, white Christian nationalists, conmen, grifters and traitors. Where the leading lights of the movement like Candace Owen spout that Charlie Kirk's wife killed him in coordination with the Jews and that Macron's wife is trans.

This is what our country has become.

Proud?

---- you if you're proud

I asked a simple question. What in the past year and a half has been worthy of national pride

I got a liberals hate America response

No list of achievements

No summary of the greatest achievements of America

Just an insult of half the country

Not sure how insulting half the country is a sign of patriotism but there you have it

In the past year and a half what has there been to be patriotic about?

In the past year and a half what has there been to be patriotic about?

The answer is they shouldn't trust him. Because apparently, they never stopped their nuclear program with the cash deal Obammy made with them.

#29 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Liar

It was stopped

It was monitored

It was demonstrated, continuously that they were abiding by the agreement

Once Piggy unilaterally pulled out they began enriching uranium again.

Obviously in anticipation of Piggy, America and Israel cowardly attacking them during negotiations, twice.

I repeat myself

Be perfectly clear
America started this illegal, immoral, completely unjustifiable war of aggression with a cowardly, murderous assassination of Iraq's leaders during negotiations, without warning, without declaration, without notice (for the second time).
That is cowardly.
That initial attack killed infants.
It was not some grand success of Mossad or CIA intelligence.
It was bombs dropped on a country's leader's home, during peacetime. Stealth bombs that weren't detected until they exploded.
That is gutless cowardice of the highest order.
And note that the Iranian leader happens to be the equivalent of the Shia pope.
This whole war is evil.
Compound that with the US supporting Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians, Israel, who is instituting a pogrom against the Palestinians in the West Bank, who is daily breaching ceasefire agreements, who targeted civilians, EMS workers, journalists and UN Peacekeepers, who desecrates religious symbols, who is occupying and stealing land from Lebanon and Syria.
All the while America is imposing a completely illegal, immoral, unjustifiable embargo of Cuba resulting in the starvation and death of children.
America is killing without justification, without any legal authority Venezuelans on the high seas.
America is stealing Venezuela's oil.

America deserves to suffer.

Maxine Water's daughter.
It's not unique to Trump.
Nepotism goes on in DC.
Many members of Congress both parties have had paid family members.
That was my point...Why not Mullin's wife?

#13 | Posted by BillJohnson a

Maxine water's daughter was/is Maxine Water's campaign manager and paid her in campaign funds

Please explain how that is the same as what Mullin is doing?

You do realize there is a difference between campaign funds and public tax dollars, right?

We are currently starving Cuban children to death with an illegal immoral completely unjustifiable blockade

Iran will successfully get rid of sanctions
Any nation using the strait will not be permitted by Iran to pass through if they are sanctioning Iran

Except you've spent an entire thread being a breathless reactionary turd getting it wrong.

Other than insulting me you haven't posited one argument in response. that says a great deal.

Simple fact

Truth Hurts Donut

I'm guessing your spittle spraying tantrum is blinding you to the irony of this statement, eh?

#67 | Posted by jpw

I have the critical thinking skills to recognize an obvious huckster.

I was raised to not vote for a rapist, felon, insurrectionist, liar conman. That was sort of a base line of ethics teaching in my house.

Specifically, why did the American people CHOOSE him?

#17 | Posted by truthhurts
They didn't.

So Piggy didn't take the oath of office in January 2025? Thank goodness i was worried that would happen
