    This had the potential to be a big win - more than doubling the service area (to a service area larger than Waymo's) after just three weeks of operation.  But he can't fucking help himself from always acting like a jackass.

    He also can’t help himself from acting this way because there are idiots willing to put money into his pockets.

    How much decommissioned stuff do we have, and how good a shape is it in?

    We have almost a thousand F-16s sitting in the high desert, as an example, and it's very dry.  They will never be used again, except for occasional parts or to replace the occasional Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve F-16s that are lost or retired for one reason or another.  They are in far better shape than aircraft going through the shitshow of Russian aircraft storage where they go well below freezing in winter and bake in the summer, and are stripped for blackmarket parts. Most still have plenty of life in them, they were simply replaced by newer aircraft or retired as the military shrank.

    We also have 3,600 Abrams tanks that are sitting in storage, many of which were retired, again, due to a shrinking or changing military, or newer models.

     We purchased over 160,000 Humvees, and I'm sure there's a few tens of thousands in storage (although they may not be in the best of shape, *ahem* a lot of us treated them like shit). We probably have a few thousand Bradleys in storage, probably some Strykers in storage.  A whole lot of M113s (although those are very old).  

    Probably have a few hundred Black Hawks in storage as well.

    We actually take care of our stuff, unlike the Russians.

    There is NOTHING to compel any conspiracy theory rumors better than the death of a very high profile person. Right now, team Maga has the cover of Epstein's "suicide" occurring under Biden.

    Biden was President in 2019?

  4. The most fascinating thing to me about these past few days is that if they wanted this story to go away, he and Bondi decided to do the exact opposite, and we re seeing both the “Streisand Effect” and a the perfect example of “gaslighting” happening at the exact same moment.

    I also like that he lumped Hunter Biden’s laptop in with the hoaxes.

    These are literally things that more than a few MAGA or MAGA-adjacent types really give a shit about for some reason, and that helped drive a major conspiracy movement (Q/Qanons) and he’s telling them to forget about it, that it’s nothing, and if they believe it, they are a part of the leftist conspiracy against him.

    To summarize Demented Don, "Barack Hussein Obama wrote the Epstein files and that's why my name is all over them. It's a scam! A fraud!"

    Some of the Dems in the House are trying to force a vote on releasing the records, thereby putting all Republicans in the House in record.  And I bet Marjorie Taylor Greene is more than happy to join them.

    I'm honestly shocked they haven’t been leaked, but the thing is, the people who could leak know the power in having them, and hanging them over the heads of people they want things from.

    Twitter is actually enjoyable to read for the first time in forever.  They're furious.  This stunt especially doesn't sit well with them any more:

    I love that he claims the files are false and were written by Obama.

    Holy shit he's taking all the mystery out of it.

    He's having quite a time over the Epstein stuff, and this is liable to fuel a helluva lot more conspiracy theories/theorists.  MAGA influencers must be upset with him over it.
