You can fucking have him... If he's got any blood left in him and it's not all just McDonald's brand cholesterol™, you're welcome to it.

    Unfortunately, they will absolutely take the blood of kids from low income families who got duped by sociopathic high school recruiters in his stead.

    Sadly, I had quite a few friends fall for it when Dubya did this. Surely we'll take care of them when they come back this time...

    Transitional housing for abused women and children would be the ultimate slap in the face.

    Transitional housing for abused women and children

    i'd agree with you, but a very important feature of those is that we don't tell anyone but the people who need its services where it is. like, i was ran some homeless shelters. two of them were for abused women and children. I still haven't got a clue where they are. only people in the organization who knew were people who needed to know and i was not one of them.

    They're going to have to put up fencing around his eventual grave to stop the long line of people who have been waiting to do exactly that.

    If i have learned nothing else from the escapades at the southern border and I haven't it's that no fence is impregnable

    They can take the cholesterol too. And also the shitty orange dollar store packaging around it.

    Hey Iran!

    Don't forget about the rest of his family and all the sycophants that prop him up.

    This sinking seems like a really big deal to me, but I don't feel like it's been treated that way. Everyone seems to react like it's just another example of Trump being shitty, and it is, but also, we sank another country's warship with a torpedo. That seems pretty momentous no matter what country it was.

    This is only the second warship sunk by a nuke sub (HMS Conqueror) and the first warship the US has sunk with a sub since 1945. We won't talk about the Russian cargo ship that "exploded" in 2024.

    In the frame of war, this is big. In the frame of history this is huge. The lack of coverage and the apathy to it is ridiculous. This has never happened in our lifetime, well unless you are 80, so we have that going for us...at least its new lol.

    It's the first fully unarmed warship sunk though, so that makes it unique. Also extra unique is that the nation and crew were basically invited first to the parade in part by the USA. So basically it's one for the history books in that is a modern red wedding.

    And it was unarmed, coming back from an exercise that was essentially a parade. Bonus points of shit!

    Different from smashing their airfields with missiles? Or, is it different because of where it happened?

    It feels different in a few ways to me. One, it feels much more personal and "fuck you in particular." It's one thing to lob missiles at a base and fuck whoever happens to be there, but you KNOW there's a real possibility that you kill every mother effer on that ship if you hit it with a torpedo.

    I'm not articulating it very well, but it's just got a different sort of cruelty that something like shelling an airbase just lacks for me.

    I guess I can sort-of see where you're coming from. Presumably when they're bombing an airbase they're trying to hit planes, destroy runways, etc. If you're in the break room at the time there's a decent chance you don't die. If you're working on a plane, you're probably dead. But, when you sink a ship, everyone goes into the water and there's a good chance they'll die.

    To me, the fact that it happened nowhere near Iran is the bigger deal. It means that parts of the world that aren't aligned with either side in the war now have to wonder what might explode in their own territory.

    OTOH, at least when you sink a military ship there won't be civilian casualties. If the US had actually declared war on Iran, which of course never happened, but if... then another warship is actually a valid target. This isn't like blowing up an apartment building because a guy on your kill list is in one of the apartments.

    Good points, especially this one:

    To me, the fact that it happened nowhere near Iran is the bigger deal. It means that parts of the world that aren’t aligned with either side in the war now have to wonder what might explode in their own territory.

    I skipped right over that but it's part of it for sure.

    It's an expansion of the theater of war. Virtually all of modern warfare has taken place on the land and in the air. There haven't been true naval battles in a long time.

    There haven't been any naval battles, but there have been plenty of naval ships sunk.

    It's an expansion of the theatre of war, because it happened outside Iran. The method doesn't really matter to the theatre of war. It is different that it was a naval vessel hitting another naval vessel. In the past there have been missiles launched from naval vessels that hit ground or air targets, and plenty of naval vessels sunk by missiles or drones. But, I'm not sure how relevant that is.

    Killing the US president out of retaliation for an illegal war would make us ... unhappy ... or something. Maybe ... I dunno.

    Ironically, so does his medical team. Based on the bruising, wouldn't surprise me if they're having to draw blood constantly for all the testing required to keep his corpse functional.

    We cannot forget that the administration is actively trying to architect a tragedy against Americans. It is high treason.
