Parsad Posted October 20, 2025 Posted October 20, 2025 https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/20/us/trump-san-francisco-national-guard-legal-battle-hnk Appeals court allows Trump to deploy National Guard in that downward spiraling, cesspool of a city called Portland, Oregon. Tragic what has happened to Portland...they used to have the best brunches in North America and now...well, it's all gone to hell with an invasion of Mexican delicacies and Korean pho. And the food trucks...oh my God...there are food trucks everywhere! The citizens are now fearful of inflatable dinosaurs and frogs roaming the city attacking ICE officials. I remember going to Portland in the good old days...30-40 years ago or so...when there were plenty of jackboot, white supremist groups all over the city and countryside. Oh, how do I yearn for the good old days, when a lone immigrant or minority walked the streets around dinnertime and had the privilege of chewing on some rubber soles as a joyful group of white supremists kicked in their teeth and curb-stomped them to death! I can see how President Trump wants to bring back the good old days! Now, there's just Michelin-star restaurant after Michelin-star restaurant catering to the wild, flannel-shirted, toque-wearing hooligans who call themselves "Foodies"! Most of the male Foodies have unkempt beards and the female Foodies tend to wear long, hipster dresses. Exactly, what they want, no one knows, since they are never satisfied and constantly post pictures of their food in social media to sway voters and instigate riots. Insane what has happened to Portland! Cheers!

Mephistopheles Posted October 21, 2025 Posted October 21, 2025 (edited) To my surprise, she kept going: “It’s obvious the whole convo is off record. There’s disappearing messages and it’s on signal. What is your story? You never told me about a story.” What a clown show.

Its true, that Donny has a hard on for Putin, but Europe and particularly Germany are not leading either. I suspect if Germany or other European countries do more and it shows an impact, Trump might actually be following.

backtothebeach Posted October 21, 2025 Posted October 21, 2025 The recent war on the rocks podcast has good info on the tomahawk missiles. In short: the whole discussion is a bit of a smokescreen, since they need to be launched from ships, and workarounds to launch from land are not efficient or would take ages.

IIRC they said the U.S. just does not have these land based launch systems in quantity, and they would not want to give away all they have. Also, they said it is not as powerful of a weapon vs military infrastructure as one may think. I'm too lazy to listen to it again...

Mephistopheles Posted October 22, 2025 Posted October 22, 2025 (edited) The US has a long history of propping up countries that are in its national interest. Argentina is no different. Helping the Millei government is a good thing for the world, and in countering China. Otherwise they keep getting bailed out by the IMF anyway, which is mostly funded by the US. Trump the dictator does a good thing yet again. Gotta give credit where it’s due! Edited October 22, 2025 by Mephistopheles
