  1. 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.
  2. Looch Johnny Eightball Kyler A-Aron Cousin Eddie And..... Fitlump
  3. I played Ivan Stewart's Off Road a shit ton in the Dobie arcade. Good times.
  4. They are there in case Trump needs a helping hand. Those shoe lifts are hard to walk in!
  5. How is a Cary Grant a character actor?
  6. There are a lot of things he's supposed to be doing. And even more that he shouldnt.
  7. Oh, those got found. In the bank accounts of Halliburton.
  8. 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.
  9. But aren't all babies precious? I'm shocked!
  10. At this point, I'm kind of ok for Trump to keep announcing ceasefires and then either side lights something on fire.
  11. Ha ha. I knew a girl who swore that is was named after the Aggies. She did have nice tits though.
  12. Ceasar's or Mussolini's?
  13. WWI? Shit, the Russians are still fighting with Napoleanic tactics.
  14. Not so fast.... Texas is all about selling their state forests.
  15. Easy. Make these are artsy artsy and sell them on Pinterest.
  16. I can't post the link but Reuters is reporting that in May, administration personnel met with Le Pen's people and offered support for Le Pen's fight to get her ban from running for office in France lifted. You know, totally normal stuff.
  17. Considering both Trump and the Marines eat crayons, yeah.
  18. No, he was fucking your wife.
  19. You'll get nothing. And like it.
  20. Or not.
  21. You think the Israeli's want this to end? Especially Bibi. He needs an antagonist.
  22. Not just flaws or skeletons. The best flaws or skeletons. Many people say they're the best they've ever seen. Big, hulking bodybuilders who hide their steroid use come up to Trump with tears in their eyes and say "Mr. President, your flaws and skeletons make mine look tiny, like your hands, in comparison. Lindsey Graham only wishes his closetvwas big enough to hide all of Trump's skeletons. Maybelline, Estee Lauder, Chanel and Revlon only wish they had enough concealer to cover these flaws.
