We can also deploy a bunch of YouTubers and Instagrammers who were going to rush Area 51
Given what I know of that crowd, they are probably dying in the desert of dehydration as we speak.

You realize that this is a message board from the state of Texas and many of us who think your general views on this subject are stupid are also owners of ARs and multiple other guns, right? This isn't SurlyTrojans.com - I'd wager that 90% of this board owns guns, even the evil liberals.
You are full of lies! Lies I say! 90% of this board owned guns in the past, but most of us lost all of them in paddle boarding accidents after we tried to recreate a scene from a certain Val Kilmer movie. You'd think that, given we had far more stable platforms than surfboards, that things would have been fine, but nope, so now Town Lake's bottom is littered with all kinds of guns.

And banning the sale of assault weapons was seen as a radical non-starter not long ago.
Someone leading the charge and driving the issue can make what once seemed impossible something voters will support.
See, The Overton Window.We had a little bit of legislation in place from 1994-2004. And prior to 1994, the biggest mass shootings were scattered over decades - UT Tower and McDonald's in 1984 were the standouts, and somehow they still put in a 10-year ban.
Beto is becoming a stalking horse on this issue, and a helluva lot of the soccer mom/suburban mom types are buying into it, at least here in Texas. I've been surprised at some of the folks I know who are jumping on this bandwagon, but people are finally getting tired of this shit.

You say artificial, I say preservatives, but same result.

IMO, Iran could be going long game here - they have the defense system in place to pose a serious threat to an aircraft carrier
How does that defense work against our stealth tech and cruise missiles?
And if they somehow bagged a carrier, we'd pull out all of the stops. I'm not saying we'd start pulling out nukes, but it'll make Iraq of 2003 (or even 1991) pale in comparison.

That site is the website of somebody planning to run for office.
And she's got to strike while being attached to Trump isn't a negative in places like Arky. Unfortunately for her, 2022 is probably pushing it.

That doesn't explain Iran's reasons for helping the rebels when this could very likely lead to bombs falling on Tehran.
That's the thing. This was not completely crippling to the Saudi economy, they risk Tehran being bombed, and they risk crippling sanctions.
I just don't see the payoff for Iran - better to wear the Saudis down over the years, perhaps train suicide bombers (or others) to act inside of Saudi borders (similar to the training they provided Shiites to go after Sunnis in Iraq after we invaded in 2003).
This is one of the few things guaranteed to bring world opinion into play.

Iran firing cruise missiles will certainly escalate things.
imo, some long game by Iran here. They have technology / defense system to take out an air craft carrier and are setting the trap.
They risk quite a bit though, namely heavy American retaliation (with a decent chunk of the world backing such retaliation), and Iran has plenty of targets, unlike some Al Qaeda fucker living in the hills. And that's not getting into even more economic isolation - price of oil may shoot up, but if you can't easily sell it, it does you no good.
Seems like it makes more sense economically (and militarily) to keep the pressure on through Yemen, and just wear the Saudis down, occasionally fucking with their oil infrastructure (shipping, pipelines, etc.).
If they wanted to fuck with the oil markets, they certainly did that.

Also, the photographs in this thing are amazing. I absolutely love to see pictures like these, specifically from this time period. It's from a time period that's really not all that long ago- I mean my grandparents were alive then- and yet the world and this country were so vastly different than they are today. Getting to see history like this is just so cool.
I wonder what @Armybrat thinks of seeing this stuff here in 2019.
They always do a top notch job on the photos and film. Would be an awesome job to have, but sorting through thousands and tens of thousands of photos, etc. would be challenging.

A war with Iran would be the distraction Trump needs over this stuff.

Tom T. Hall and Stonewall Jackson are going to be dead before this thing has finished airing, I just know it. Jeanne Pruett as well.

Not a huge country music fan, especially the dreck that passes today, but will not miss it.
You don't need to worry about anything after the mid-1990s.

I read on Reuter’s that they knocked out five crude stabilization towers. Those are massive pressure vessels and even though I’ve never specced out installing them I am in the industry. Lead time on something like that would be like 2-3 months minimum if you could get a fab shop to dedicate itself directly to you and toss all other orders aside.
They've got an IPO in the works, they will throw enough money at somebody to get it back online.
But they are fucked if another Aramco site gets hit again. I mean, it's a normal part of war, even if it's a nation-state versus a stateless-nation instead of nation-state on nation-state, it's still infrastructure and the last 100 years has seen plenty of attacks on infrastructure.

Narrator: “he does make one”
2022: Ken Burns continues to wage his merciless war on the music industry. With the 1970s episode of his Rock n Roll History series for PBS, he has claimed the remnants of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and The Eagles.
His next series is on Ernest Hemingway so we are safe there, but then a history of stand-up comedy.

You shut your whore mouth
We are damned lucky that Ken Burns isn't making a Rock n Roll series for PBS. So far by my count, he's claimed four victims in his Country Music series.

Every time I hear mention of Clinch Mountain, I think Sacketts....but I digress.
I really don't know why, but I can't think of another first episode of any of his series that I have enjoyed more than this one.

Is that him or a stock photo just to....hammer the point home, I guess?
Apparently all of those photos were of him, as the tweet thread said, stolen from a friend's MySpace or Facebook page or something.
Still not sure about this one, but possible.

You not a fan of Val Kilmer or Peter Cushing? Or Omar Shariff?
Just do a search on Anal Intruder.
Wait, I mean Top Secret.
