Trump wins election and our military starts shooting at each other 🤷♂️ https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-s-navy-shoots-down-own-plane-as-fresh-strikes-target-houthi-rebels-in-yemen-7b6a4d27 Two U.S. Navy pilots ejected from their jet fighter over the Red Sea after being caught in “an apparent case of friendly-fire,” U.S. Central Command said Sunday, as American forces conducted a new round of attacks against the Houthi militant group in Yemen overnight. The military said the two pilots safely ejected from their F/A-18 after it was hit by fire from the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg. The jet fighter had flown off the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier and both ships are part of the same strike group. One of the crew members sustained minor injuries and an investigation is under way, the military said. The incident came as U.S. Central Command said its forces had conducted airstrikes against a missile storage facility and a command and control facility operated by the Houthis in Yemen. It wasn’t immediately clear if the friendly-fire incident and the U.S. attack on Houthi targets are connected. The Iranian-backed Houthis control much of northwestern Yemen. They have snarled international trade by attacking cargo ships passing through one of the world’s most important trade routes, in what the group describes as a campaign of support for Palestinian militants fighting Israel in Gaza. Mohamed Ali al-Houthi, a Houthi official, condemned the U.S. strikes. “These American terrorist attacks further confirm the lawlessness and criminal actions being carried out in the region,” he said on X. “Such reckless terrorist actions against Yemen will not stop the support for Gaza.” <----On Musk's terrorist friendly web place, formerly known as twitter Edited 15 hours ago by Tiberius

The fate of republicans rests in the ability to make enough Americans believe they are better off in two to four years, and that the smart choice forward is conservative guidance. You can never underestimate the potential for a political party to f that up, so we’ll see. agree. the rest is "fanciful". Here's a nice read on the possible implications of this bill. He's not getting a blank check. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/12/21/donald-trump-warned-republican-rebels-deportation-plan/ maybe it's just me, but the measures removed from the billl seemed pretty helpful to the middle class: The final funding bill removed more than 1,000 pages of policy when Mr Trump and Elon Musk, his close ally and Tesla billionaire, came out against the deal. Among the scrapped measures were restrictions on US investments in China, policy aimed at lowering prescription drug prices and rules clamping down on deceptive advertising of tickets for events, according to Politico.
