ANd it's only white males that have freedom to defend themselves.

Ask any Republican and that's a White Male this happened to.

but lets start at the basics, what kind of ------- ------ of any race or orientation, is walking around strapped and sucking down hard liquor on their way to work? The flag doesn't get much more red.

Get called on false equivalence. Goes all in on even more false equivalence. Resorts to name calling.

but while you're at it, false equivalence. 9/11 victims are known individuals whose deaths were directly documented. The DOGE claim is based on statistical estimates, zero individually verified cases. It's not close to the same thing.

Okay. I saw a name a month ago as a reply to Elon's tweet saying they can't actually name anyone.

and how do you know it's true?

This isn't a knock on the concept. It's a knock on ------ gotcha journalism that does very little due diligence.

They did name one, though.

They didn't name a single person that died in that Current Affairs article. Go ask Grok for a single name and report back, or use good AI like 5.6 Sol, and report back. This is your super easy, low hanging fruit of a gotcha moment. You can do it, right?

More: Then one night last September, Ms. Kelver, 28, drew her gun after she had been pushed down in the street during a brief confrontation with three men in the college town of Laramie, according to police reports and surveillance video. Wyoming's "stand your ground" law is supposed to offer legal protections to gun owners who draw in self-defense, yet Ms. Kelver was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent, charges that carry up to 15 years in prison.

Do the full quote! Went into a bar, took 2 shots "on their way to work", went outside, heard something said, then walked up on the group "printing" their firearm which is something you don't do because it comes with major legal risks. Then got pushed down and pulled their gun.

... white knights assemble against this gross injustice!

2 days ago, Iran is considering creating a "voluntary fund" by Gulf states and some European members to cover navigation, environmental protection, search and rescue, and other services in the Strait of Hormuz. The plan, backed by Oman, would be modeled after the Strait of Malacca's framework of asking ships to pay a voluntary contribution - The Telegraph

meanwhile, on the ground in Iran, militants on two fronts. funny how that happens.

Khori Hiwa (Sun of Hope), a newly formed armed group in western Iran (Rojhelat), said early Thursday that its fighters clashed with Iranian government forces in West Azerbaijan province over the past 24 hours, claiming to have inflicted casualties "Following a brief exchange of fire, Khori Hiwa fighters delivered an effective blow before withdrawing from the area. The regime forces suffered dead and wounded," the group said.

Then do it. That's literally Elon's challenge. He gets called on it, says name one. They never name one. This is such easy gotcha journalism, right?

If hundreds of thousands of people died, but you can't name a single one, you are a ------ writer.

Where is the tariff refund that the average Jo and Jan Human were promised?

Us small businesses kept our refunds. Thank you for playing.

They won't build it over a 11% subsidy? Sounds like a bad business to get into.

California has specialty plants to feed specific industries, semiconductors, pharma, industrial gasses, polymers. That's what they get. They don't get new refineries, petrochemical complexes, etc, haven't for 30+ years. No point building either of those there when the Gulf Coast exists, state regs & real estate costs make it a poor idea that would take decades just to clear environmental reviews.

Ackchyually!

Anything the CIA or MIC tells the public is a lie. If you don't know that, you have 0 self-awareness..

Everything is about the jews when you're a foreign bot.

Seems silly, but not all that surprising. SpaceX is the #1 Tesla customer for Cybertrucks. He bought so many from himself.

You'll definitely flee a lot faster in the Cybertruck than in an MRAP. Not a fair drag race.

It doesn't happen in isolation. Ukraine findings started the ramp. Iran steps on the gas.

House already passed the NDAA for FY2027 afaik.

Wrong question. Should be:

What works better? A democratic society that ramps production during shortfalls, or a fascist society where oligarchs steal everything not nailed down?

The Standard Missile 6 on the other hand does work. Production trend going the other direction, an initial bleed down, production ramping going on, and at this pace of operations, we go back to pre-war inventory level in 2028.

You wanted to know what's different. The Slava had 104 missiles to defend itself from a single spotter drone and 2 anti-ship missiles. The Slava sank. It didn't even get off a shot afaik.

Ours actually work.

Why are these particular weapons systems being exhausted?

Because they never made that many to begin with. They made 96 THAAD interceptors per year.

Because they are made to intercept Russian ICBMs, not for use in a war started by some ------- with the one country that has spent decades actively hoarding MRBMs.
