  1. It’s a legit concern but also have to look at that from the Iran side. They aren’t likely to attack our forces while solely in foreign positions. They’ll threaten, but doubtful it happens.
  2. Well, people are more informed and skeptical now than we were in 2001. 4 generations had just been hurt in ways not seen since Pearl Harbor. And the two older generations alive at the time were supportive too. No social media, ALL were less skeptical then. This won’t be a repeat.
  3. Pound for pound, Mola Ram way up the list. Don’t think this was posted yet. True nightmare fuel for the billions who’ve seen it.
  4. Barack Obama - August 5th, 2015 “Among U.S. policymakers, there’s never been disagreement on the danger posed by an Iranian nuclear bomb. Democrats and Republicans alike have recognized that it would spark an arms race in the world’s most unstable region, and turn every crisis into a potential nuclear showdown. It would embolden terrorist groups, like Hezbollah, and pose an unacceptable risk to Israel, which Iranian leaders have repeatedly threatened to destroy. More broadly, it could unravel the global commitment to non-proliferation that the world has done so much to defend. The question, then, is not whether to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but how. Even before taking office, I made clear that Iran would not be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon on my watch, and it’s been my policy throughout my presidency to keep all options -- including possible military options -- on the table to achieve that objective. But I have also made clear my preference for a peaceful, diplomatic resolution of the issue -- not just because of the costs of war, but also because a negotiated agreement offered a more effective, verifiable and durable resolution. And so, in 2009, we let the Iranians know that a diplomatic path was available. Iran failed to take that path, and our intelligence community exposed the existence of a covert nuclear facility at Fordow.” Well, perhaps Fordow now ceases to exist. I think this is a good thing.
  5. Oh McLaren.
  6. I cannot believe 11A on a 787 is an Economy seat.
  7. I submit my top 2: 1) Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. 2) Bond, James Bond.
  8. I love when you use big words and don't have any idea what they mean.
  9. Seven years of this thread now and it’s absolute comedic gold.
  10. Are you suggesting employees who have worked for Elon for the last whatever # of years somehow today saw tweets that give them newfound concerns? LOL. Just read the posts here for the last SEVEN years. Dude isn’t changing.
  11. Fucking rigged. Love all the idiots falling for it.
  12. Recommend a reservation at Mr. Bs...might even be required. Going there myself on the next trip to NO later this summer.
  13. If I were Russell I'd go punch him in the mouth. And yes on the grid penalty.
  14. What in the world. Max getting pissy!
  15. Wish we could get about a 10-15 min rain shower to mix things up
  16. So uh, no joke I’ve got two Saturday Fusion lounge passes I’m trying to sell now for Silverstone this year. Pm me if you might be interested.
  17. 44 miles down, just over 2 hours in. I was told last minute this morning that Clintonaldo would not be requiring his typical 4 eggs + biscuits and gravy at our post-race brunch.
  18. No numbers for you, you’re a word man.
  19. Totally inappropriate. It’s lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous.
  20. Cannot believe Bonanza hasn’t been mentioned yet. By far the best bang for your buck Cabernet Sauvignon…the owner comes from Caymus vineyards.
  21. God I agree with almost all of this. My wife went with me and knew nothing about the storyline so naturally she was lost for most of Act 1, I had to explain things over the intermission and she enjoyed Act 2 much more. Those actors are really exposed on stage and I have immense respect, no being saved by anything other than interesting dialogue. Caulkin was good but yeah, lots of Roman Roy vibes. Bob O and Burr really separated in this environment. I would see it again, I bet it’s somewhat different every night.
