It’s not a great bible story to base your nuclear strategy on.

Sampson was a brutal man, a womanizer, a drunk, etc. He would fly into a rage and kill people, irrespective of who they were or if they were begging for their life.

He was led into temptation easily, by his dick, with Delilah, and lost everything because of it. The Jewish people almost lost everything because of his hubris.

It’s a cautionary tale of arrogance that almost leads to a destruction of an entire nation (Israel), and just before all looks lost, he commits suicide and takes a ton of Philistines out with him by tearing down the coliseum they’re standing in.

Because it is the thing.

“This is wrong” says man who will continue to do nothing but support the policies that will cripple and kill his constituents.

Have you read the bible verses on Sampson? Not the movie/stories, the actual bible verses.

Sadly, he survived.

There’s always tomorrow’s SpaceX explosion though.

Unironically, yes.

If Honda can make a rocket as reliable and cheap as a Civic, relatively, we all win.

I wasn’t talking about aesthetics, but the US Flag Code.

Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.

If you cannot display the union stars, then the color order should be (starting from the top): Blue, Red, White.

Red and White should always be next to each other. Putting the blue in the middle isn’t an aesthetic thing, it’s the wrong way to display the American flag colors without the union stars.

Its in the wrong order. Red and white are always supposed to touch. Blue separating them is in the wrong spot. Whether intentional or because they’re all idiots? Who can say.

He said new religion.

Fascism is not a political strategy. It is an engine of hate and death. It will eat itself eventually, once there’s nothing else left.

As in, they have to give you a cat, or you give them a cat?

“If necessary”

That tracks.

The fumes and smoke alone would have killed people quickly

Yup. Its just the printed out constitution

Ah, crap, good catch, thank you :) My bad.

They’re required to serve at the president’s command as leader of the military/executive branch. As long as it doesn’t violate the constitution. Which they swore an oath to.

If trump gives any orders that go against that, then they are required to disobey them. They will not be allowed to use them as a defense during trial, or if something like the Nürburgring trial happens.

Right now, it’s not against the constitution. Yet. There’s a loophole they’re using and Gavin knows it. He’s also too much of a coward to use similar tactics against trump, so he’ll high road California right into federal control.

The rules don’t apply to the ultra rich. Even the horrifying rules.

Unfortunately.

I grew up with people like this. The cross is purely for virtue signalling. It has no real value to them other than being like a Costco membership card to get access to manipulate people who are easily manipulated by such things.

Complicity cowed.
