Probably. It is pretty clear that this Administration retaliates to any provocation in overwhelming ways. Either Iran provokes us again and sees a bigger response, or they see that if they provoke us then another, bigger response will inevitably follow. Problem is that Iran has a “don’t give a *****” attitude and a willingness to keep provoking. These Long War Journal guys know this region pretty well. Here’s an article of some interest. https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2020/01/u-s-kills-irans-qods-force-commander-and-iraqis-deputy-pmf-leader-in-strike-in-baghdad.php

They’ll frame it as Trump’s “wag the dog” moment coming just before his impeachment trial.

There, I fixed your post so you see what everyone else sees when you try to interact with people.

Not happenin.

What you said is stupid. Again. You're particularly surly today. What's the matter, did your Dem talking point handler take the week off? Running out of things to say while you wait for your next instructions?

When did THAT happen!?

That would be more like "relativistacally ignorant. And stupid".

I'm thinking of making some stromboli and a pot of Chili. Drinking either Brooklyn Lager or Coors Banquet while I'm eating and a Nice Scotch while I'm not eating.

I just saw the movie. I stayed out of this thread until I saw it. I felt obliged to go see this film and had low expectations for it. I came out with more questions than answers, but I’m not interested enough in any of the new characters to seek answers to my questions. That being said, I wouldn’t avoid seeing this movie again. I just wouldn’t pay to see it.

Okay, based on this I can say to (or irrationally convince) myself that this first Krueger year is like McDermott’s first season where he pretty much said that there would be pain in the short term. Then we “backed into” the playoffs. I’m going with that for the time being to fit into my plan of holding on until early February. ? No results or hope after that Rangers game, I’m out thru October.

Holy crap, this again?

Ice Capades. Been that way for years and years.

My Fair Lady. Keep Audrey Hepburn -- dub in Miss Piggy's voice.

Not a lot of options from Scranton. Basically stuck on 80 and then the N.J. Pike to either of the tunnels or the GWB, depending on traffic at the time. This magic train doesn’t want to go through Staten Island because then its got the Gowanus and the BQE to deal with — unless it heads up through the battery tunnel. The magic train would be much better off staying on 17 for awhile because then its got many more options to shoot south. And it would avoid PA entirely.

You need a film like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (keep Tina Turner).

They’ll be wishing for a winning season soon enough. It will be fun to watch.

I hate the Seahawks. Would have liked to see NO get the #2 seed, but I like to see Seattle lose.

Looked like a penalty

He doesn’t manage the clock!

What, actually, does Pete Carroll do? He doesn’t call plays. He doesn’t do anything during time outs.

Gonna get down to the goal line and run a slant?

Well if you look at it different, the Cowboys and the Steelers are each 8-7 if we didn’t play them and beat them. And they’d both be in the playoffs if we didn’t play them and beat them. So we beat three teams with winning records and kept two of them out. And we beat each of them on the road. GO BILLS!!!!

Agreed, but those people aren’t controlling the Iranian airfields and armed forces at the moment, and probably aren’t going to be converted into vest wearing zealots if we retaliate to the current regime’s provocations.

Can’t watch that enough. Did he get permanently concussed when his head slammed into the concrete wall?
