  1. And because I always ask others to do B+W....
  2. Not the best photo but my view on the last full day of in Breckenridge.
  3. And Lisa Murkowski is a jelly fish spined wuss. She ended up voting for the bill.
  4. Would you say they had a furrowed brow? Trump's tiny little hands would have dropped the crown.
  5. Why was one segment of thay with an Aussie accent?
  6. Victoria's Secret should fire up the old print catalog and charge $1 for a monthly subscription. They'd rake it in.
  7. I'd let her handle my weapon.
  8. Kari Lake took them all out for ice cream?
  9. My issue with throwing Kursk in here is that the overall battle was 6 weeks. Pearl Harbor and Midway are better comparisons. Yes, the logistics lead up to both took time but, especially at Pearl Harbor, the action was intense and brief.
  10. And you just completely moved the goal posts. No one is going to dispute that the Japanese were going to lose in 1944 and early 1945. We were going to win by that point. The issue was how many more Japanese (plus Brits, Indians, Aussies, Kiwis, Chinese, Americans, etc) would have died.
  11. To Chainsaw's point, it was my understanding that these early 1945 peace overtures were unofficial communications by Japanese government backbenchers. They were initiated through the Soviet Union and were not sanctioned official Japanese government offers. And that's if they even happened at all because other than Trohan's memo, there is zero historical record of these attempts. If you go back and look at the disorganization and chaos in their government after Hiroshima was nuked, the Japanese still had a hard-core contingent on the Supreme War Council that wanted to continue fighting. Here's an interesting counterpoint to what Chainsaw has been trying to sell. https://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2022/05/06/did-the-japanese-offer-to-surrender-before-hiroshima-part-2/ It's a fairly long read but well worth it for WWII nerds. The author of this article seems to think that the Trohan memorandum was a far-right, pro-MacArthur attempt to lionize Dugout Doug, blame FDR for prolonging the war to let the Soviets join and, ultimately, the "loss" of China in 1949 to the communists.
  12. Looch Johnny Eightball Kyler A-Aron Cousin Eddie And..... Fitlump
  13. I played Ivan Stewart's Off Road a shit ton in the Dobie arcade. Good times.
  14. They are there in case Trump needs a helping hand. Those shoe lifts are hard to walk in!
  15. How is a Cary Grant a character actor?
  16. There are a lot of things he's supposed to be doing. And even more that he shouldnt.
  17. Oh, those got found. In the bank accounts of Halliburton.
  18. Then Fox and OAN can report that he's the bestest POTUS ever. Him reporting a ceasefire while bombs go off can't really be ignored.
  19. But aren't all babies precious? I'm shocked!
  20. At this point, I'm kind of ok for Trump to keep announcing ceasefires and then either side lights something on fire.
  21. Ha ha. I knew a girl who swore that is was named after the Aggies. She did have nice tits though.
  22. Ceasar's or Mussolini's?
