A kernel of truth to this, if you recognize that both Republican and Democrats have wanted the Iranian government overthrown and replaced with American loyalists for nearly fifty years.

The Obama/Biden strategy was to let the State Department polarize the rest of the region against Iran and squeeze them until they capitulated. The Bush/Trump strategy has been to outright assassinate Iranian officials, seize Iranian assets abroad, and plot an invasion of the sovereign territory.

We have a bipartisan consensus on wiping the IRGC and the Muslim-led anti-American government off the map. The question was never of policy, only of strategy.

My wife once tried to grow potatoes and got what felt like a mile of potato greens while the slips barely grew at all.

Then she went back to her job as a lawyer and made enough money to buy a truck full of potatoes

You mean high speed rail and electric cars?

A bunch of obsessives scouring the sky for additional planets probably had nothing to do with it.

Ask anyone not wearing a helmet that got hit by a car or smacked their head on the concrete after going over their handlebars. Oh, right, you can’t.

I mean, you can. Falling off your bike isn’t universally fatal. Even bad injuries aren’t unrecoverable - especially when you’re young and resilient and you’re body is still growing.

But imagine telling a 12-year-old to take off their helmet and pads and go plow themselves into a tree, because it builds character. Why would anyone voluntarily subject themselves to this? Why would anyone advocate for this?

You’re not building up some kind of robust spirit of mind or body. You’re not growing as a person. You’re just being hazed.

Can’t believe The Onion is nearly a century old.

they incorrectly believe that because they lived that there was no actual danger.

Also, incorrectly believed that they were the ones on the bicycle.

For every kid doing this right, there were ten that did it wrong and fell over.

For every ten that did it wrong, there were another ten laughing up their sleeves and then… putting on a helmet and pads because they didn’t want to end up in traction (or because their parents were yelling at them to be safe).

Apollo 11 made it to the moon and back with the computer power of a Dollar Tree hand held calculator

I think it was the rockets doing most of the lifting

Artemis II never landed on the moon. It was just a flyby. This makes it more equivalent to Apollo 10 and the famous exchange

Stafford: “Oh—who did it? … Give me a napkin quick. There’s a turd floating through the air”.

Young: “I didn’t do it. It ain’t one of mine”.

Cernan: “I don’t think it’s one of mine”.

Stafford: “Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away”.

Cernan (later): “Here’s another goddam turd. What’s the matter with you guys?”

Combining French snobbery with Linux snobbery could set off some kind of chain reaction.

How soon until Quebec joins the Bloc de L’nux?

He’s just trying to find the shrine that lets him de-age seven years.

That’s what my government tells me

Or deep on the hook for the O&G industry.

Israel is basically a military outpost for the US in the middle east.

Sitting politicians have described it as our biggest aircraft carrier.

No no no. China is Fake News. They don’t even make cars. If they made cars, I would have seen Chinese cars driving around in America.

“China Battery!” typically trips everyone’s “Fake News! Evil Company! Communists Killed 100 Billion People!” alarm

The way to safer is to reduce the amount of cars.

Hersey! Blasphemy! Unamerican!
