Expectations are pretty low tbh.

Glad to see someone else that didn't like it. I felt like they did too much mental gymnastics to make the story more than it should be. The whole military operation part was plain stupid to me. I did like the daughter of Pennywise plot though, that part could have been so much more.

They boomed during their widest times. I bought right before that. I saw its value drop in my portfolio the other day and was looking in the history for a split or spinoff or something.

Everything is being copied and manufactured in China. Nike thrived from offshoring, now those companies are being eaten by the animals they fed for decades. Good riddance in my opinion.

re: Putin gathers warships with hypersonic missiles in Baltic Sea

Part of the reason they are in the Baltic is that he can't keep them in the Black Sea or the Sea of Azov anymore, lest they spring a massive leak and join the submarine fleet as so much of his navy has.

The Black Sea fleet has been locked inside of the Black Sea since they invaded Ukraine, which is why they've been such excellent target practice. Turkey owns the Dardenelles and they close them to countries in a state of war.

Interesting fact. Sevastapol in Crimea has been their headquarters since the 1600s, but they had to move their ships to Novorossiysk to escape the drones. They aren't even safe there anymore.

The United States has to catch up fast in drone warfare, or else our huge navy will become nothing more than expensive target practice in a war with China.

Only card he has left to play is to pull the West down with him. When they get pushed back he threatens nuclear war in an effort to get better terms. Going to get a lot uglier.

Pretty on-brand for third worlders. Blame the British who haven’t been in your country since 1945 for the fact that you have open high voltage electrical on every street corner and 50 people get run over by trains daily.

I don't know about that. Britain was extremely effective at extracting wealth, they evolved to use international corporations and puppet dictators to extract maximum wealth with lower risk (see what happened in Persia and BP). If you have something they want, they found a way to get it.

The US wasn't much better with their actions in Central America and the propping up of countless dictators to extract cheap luxury food items (bananas and coffee especially).

These actions by large empires have bred all of the "extremist regimes" in just about every hotbed in the world.

How funny would it be for him to outshine Daniels and end up having #5 retired under his own accomplishments?

All that being said, I hope JD5 comes to his senses and mends the fence he tore down. Going to be a long road before that can happen though.

Just a negotiation ploy as both sides look for a compromise.

I am not sure what legal basis you think JD has in this case, but there will be no negotiation. He probably made an offhand comment about LSU issuing his old number and mommy went and paid some attorneys to send this. He is wiping out millions in potential endorsement revenue by burning a loyal fanbase over a petty issue. He should have handled this on the back-channels.

I’m convinced this is more his mother’s doing. His statement makes it seem he was unaware or at least wasn’t told the extent his team (mother) was going.

That's a cop-out. If she's managing his brand that much he should be ashamed. He's a grown man, not a high school football player angling for more NIL money.

Ostracizing a faithful fanbase is a poor decision and will have an affect on his personal marketability for endorsements. His statement saying he's focused on training camp and not thinking about his personal business is a joke.

It tells me that he doesn't value LSU fans and he thinks we're gullible or too stupid to see through the BS in that statement.

His best course of action would have been to walk it back or to drop it entirely.

And let’s not act like we didn’t notice it was ALWAYS all about JD when he was here.

Examples please. Every time he scored his OL and WRs that were blocking on his insane run plays were always genuinely happy for him in the end zone. You're making him seem like Matt Leinart, which is very disingenuous.

I do agree with you here though.

I wonder if this is a side of him that he hid very well from LSU while there.

Everything I heard about him at LSU (from staff, players and boosters) was that he lived at the facility to improve his game. It can't be understated how hard he worked to win his Heisman, but doing this is extremely immature and carries an aire of entitlement that (from my understanding) is uncharacteristic of him after coming to LSU.

I hope he learns from this and makes amends honestly, just seems like a maturity issue that he might grow out of.

As they say, this whole debacle is going over as well as a fart in church.

Iran does not control shite.

They control their air space and they keep blowing up ships in the Hormuz, meanwhile we can't even produce enough munitions to maintain an air campaign longer than a couple of weeks. This is what almost $1T dollars annually gets us folks!

The Iran “war” was a 100% success the minute we pushed Iranian nuclear capability back 10 years.

Everything else since then is just noise.

It’s 100% victory on that point alone.

And guess what? We will be back here in another 10 years having to do it again. And then another 10 years after that, having to do it again.

Except now Iran is going to control the Hormuz and the entire region before long, which has a direct impact on the Western economic system.

Iran will go after Saudi, UAE and Jordanian civil infrastructure in earnest soon, and Iran will make it contingent on a ceasefire for US forces to be expelled.

Also the additional money from controlling the Hormuz, plus any other war reparations they extract, will be used as fuel to develop their nuclear program. Iran will have a nuke inside of 5 years, then we have absolutely no way to control that region.

Trump traded a possibility of a nuclear Iran for the certainty of a nuclear Iran, and flushed 100 years of empire building down the toilet in the span of months.

What in the flying frick is going on here?

He is incompetent along with his entire cabinet. An empire requires effective management, so it's time we rethink our place in the world if the best leader we can produce in 12 years is a narcissistic nutjob and a demented walking vegetable that wasn't taken seriously when he was coherent.

We can't sustain strikes on Iran because a lack of suitable munitions. So why didn't we ramp up production? We've been shipping them out internationally en-masse for years, yet we didn't think we'd need to replenish stocks?

What about the evolution of drone warfare that has been on display in Ukraine? Everyone is studying and evolving now, except the United States.

For spending as much as we do on defense, its irresponsible and negligent that we are seeing these problems. That isn't a political statement, this problem has spanned multiple administrations across both major parties, both share responsibility for the failings of the supply and logistics side.

If we go to war with China, their drone cargo ship asymmetrical warfare doctrine will have us checkmated before we even begin to plan strikes.

These cameras are an unwarranted invasion of privacy. Since its a private company doing the surveillance, it allows law enforcement to access the data WITHOUT probable cause for a search warrant.

They also walk the line of the plain view doctrine and private property laws, adopt all of the reward from our liberal laws and freedoms, but assume none of the risk or responsibility of their platform being used for nefarious purposes. Similar to Uber not wanting to be responsible when a member of there service causes an accident or if some animal harms a driver.
