The most cringe part is JD Vance saying he’ll pray. Pray for what? That no fighter jets crash? That the bombs intended to kill one guy only destroy a few apartment complexes of civilians?

I don’t know if the strike was a good or bad decision or how precise it was. Adding a journalist to the group chat was bad enough. Don’t bring God into the group chat about killing people. Vance converted to Catholicism and I’m pretty sure there’s a line in the Catholic version of the Bible about how thou shalt not kill. It’s not an ambiguous verse like Deuteronomy where you can convince yourself it’s fine to eat crabs because of the New Testament.

I swear to God (good version), the only people who read the Bible are curious atheists and priests. Self-professed Christians are there for the potlucks and networking opportunities.

I was raised in a very Catholic region. Our football team is called The Saints. We called the (then new) Protestant church “Mary Queen of the Parking Lot” because it was in a strip mall. Even now, I have no idea what the Protestant megachurch by the interstate is called because everyone calls it “Six Flags Over Jesus.” I’ve been to weddings there and I don’t know the name.

I say all that to say no one is weirder than people who convert to Catholicism. I’m agnostic and I try to follow the teachings of Jesus (as a philosopher) more than weird ass adult converts like JD Vance. Like, help the poor and turn the other cheek. Forgiveness is as much a blessing for you as it is for the person you’re forgiving. And JD Vance is like, “The Crusades were cool.” No! They sucked!

More Irish than the Irish themselves

The "line" is in all Christian bibles which contain the old and new testaments, and of course in the Jewish Torah.

It's #6, after some pretty ephemeral rules. Maybe being that low in the order dictates its importance to these douche-chalupas.

Well if you are wondering, it reportedly killed dozens of civilians, with the US twice bombing a cancer hospital. It however did kill and wound several Houthi leaders, damaged military headquarters, damaged weapon storage facilities, and damaged ship detection equipment.

[-] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Well, I guess the mission was successful if you don’t care about civilians. The 23 year-old pilots were apparently very competent. Houthi leadership gets no sympathy from me and I hope they go home and be family men.

I wouldn’t have made that trade-off, though. I don’t care if there’s 40 of my worst enemies holed up at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. I wouldn’t bomb it, much less treat it like a game. That’s sociopath behavior.

For the record, I’m from Louisiana so I hate Texas. Especially Texas A&M. There’s a small part of me that wants to bomb anyone wearing a cowboy costume who lives in a suburb and has never even touched a cow. I hate all their sports teams. But if they catch a hurricane, we go help them. They help us when tragedy strikes. That should be the maximum level of hate people have toward each other. I hope Texas A&M explodes with no civilian casualties. (The students who cosplay as fascists are fair game. Grow up.)

Holy shit, impeach, fire their asses and throw them I. Prison. This is an extreme fuck up.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

How?

[-] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

First, citizens need to speak out and protest. No more being online where you voice doesn’t go as far. https://www.mobilize.us/ Bring the fight to them!

Use Firefox with ublock and disable JavaScript/use reader mode

It's a doozy.

Full conversation available as screenshots

Including the not a plan that hegseth definitely didn't have a conversation about:

I don’t know that this always works, but in my browser (Orion on an iPad) I can click “reader view” a few times and the paywall goes away.

[-] deadkennedy@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

reader view is always my first tool, and it’s the best - it didn’t work on this article unfortunately. a very nice person shared a link to the story without a paywall 👍

[-] HexPat@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

That’s weird, I checked that it would work before I posted. Maybe it has to do with the browser? Hell, I don’t know.

Glad you were able to read it, hope you have a spectacular day

[-] deadkennedy@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

it could def be a browser difference, i was just using Safari on iOS.

i’ll have to give Orion a look, thanks for the tip

Hopefully this works for you. ~~https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/~~

Edit sorry that was a different story

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

As fucked as this all is, it really is a "they're just like us!" group running things. It might as well be on fucking Discord with people going "gg Yemen."

Note: you do not want laymen running your fucking military, let alone the whole government.

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

I guess this answers the question of whether they drink their own lemonade. These people are actually stupid enough to believe they're on the right side here.

I guess it depends if they get subscribers, but locking this article just seems foolish in this case. People will just go elsewhere to read it.

https://www.fdd.org/team/richard-goldberg/ https://en.everybodywiki.com/Richard_Goldberg_(Illinois)

Richard Goldberg: aide to US National Security Advisor in previous Trump administration, expert on Iran, wrote press release announcing Waltz's nomination.

Both Goldberg and Waltz work at FDD: https://www.fdd.org/team/michael-g-waltz/

Clearly Waltz was trying to add him to the chat instead of Jeffrey Goldberg, right?

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It's ok to murder poor non-white people on the other side of the planet... Just don't leak about it... But, if they leak, it doesn't actually matter because their victims will still be attacked.
