Like everything else Trump “fixes,” the reflecting pool (along with the war in Iran, gas prices, beef prices, and mortgage rates) is in exponentially worse shape than when he started.

Re: Fairford suspects. I’ve seen speculation that maybe they were simply stealing diesel. I guess that’s possible. That said, the setup certainly matched the MO of a coordinated VBIED assault. Also, maybe don’t steal fuel in trucks that could easily be bombs next to a base.

🧐 If true, I suspect the plan was to detonate the VBIEDs and then ambush first responders. I’m just glad that farmer was paying attention.

One thing I’ve noticed in 6 years of Trump: when he tries to cheat, he bumblefucks it spectacularly. Martial law doesn’t provide a mechanism for cancelling elections. I think it would have the exact opposite effect - turnout is already going to be high, that would send it to the stratosphere.

I hope so. This is the best chance we’ve ever had at flipping a seat in Texas. Not only do people seem to really like Talarico, Paxton is a generationally awful candidate. One thing to note: if they’re spending this much money in Texas, they’re fucking terrified.

Its interesting, and you probably aren’t far off re: hubris. They put enough thought into it to get work vans with decals. They didn’t bother to get the phone number right or account for what they’d do if spotted by a nosy neighbor. Could have been much worse if they were fully competent.

It’s also the reason we started sending male-female teams to do reconnaissance in urban areas. Most people just see a dude and his girlfriend and don’t look twice. I think we’ll likely find out this was state sponsored, and spoiled by sheer dumb luck.

Way too close, but thankfully someone was paying attention and alerted the police before this got really bad. They reportedly tried to call RAF Fairford to report 3 suspicious vans, but couldn’t get an answer from the base.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

They’re likely trying to prevent defections, but I understand why everyone thinks this is ominous - there’s a lot of intel out there that Putin is planning a major escalation, likely in the Baltic States. Which would be an absolutely moronic thing for him to do, but here we are.

WAPO is reporting that at least four more service members have died in the war in Iran than DOD is publicly acknowledging. CNN is reporting that the US almost seized a Chinese vessel because AI incorrectly identified it as containing Iranian nuclear material. Clown show.
