Weekend Open Thread

| September 24, 2021

Many in the pro-Biden camp lionized one of these individuals and vilified the other one. The fact that one pushed a false narrative, and the other one stood up for what is morally right, did not matter. What mattered was who was directly, or indirectly, criticized. Enjoy your weekend.

WOW, we may have to go back to CLAW and have him look at the book of Firsts to see if this is the most Firsts at the same time stamp. If it’s not, it’s close. 7 at 3:01??

Claw

New WOT record of seven attempts at posting a First with the same time stamp.

Previous attempts records (with only five attempts each)(never had a six) occurred on:

03 Feb 17, 23 Aug 19 and 06 Aug 21.

Correction/Addition:

A further review of The Coveted Book of WOT Firsts reveals that another five-way tie for “First” occurred on 10 Sep 21.

Oh my … what a scramble for the coveted FIRST! I see I was mired far back in the pack, so I’ll humbly concede to whoever gets the spot, and instead of luxuriating in FIRSTness, I’ll leave this week’s trivia for you. DID YOU KNOW…? What did their respective TV series get wrong about Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson? By Commissioner Wretched didyouknowcolumn@gmail.com Two very important things happen this week – one for everyone, and one primarily for me. For everyone, this week is the official start of autumn. The fall of the year begins on Wednesday, September 22. On that day the hours of daylight and darkness become equal, and from then until winter the nights will get longer and the days shorter. For me, another trip around the Sun will be celebrated on Sunday, September 26. It will be my 63rd birthday. To quote my sister, if I’d known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. But enough about all this. Let’s get to the really important stuff – the trivia! Did you know … … a world-record flight for number of passengers actually landed with two more people aboard than when it took off? On May 24, 1991, an El Al Airlines Boeing 747 took off from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with 1086 people aboard. The flight was part of Operation Solomon, an evacuation of Jews from the country. When the plane landed in Jerusalem, however, it had 1088 people aboard. During the flight, two babies had been born. The aircraft’s seats had been removed before the flight to allow as many people to fly as possible, the airline said. The total number of passengers is recognized by the “Guinness Book of World Records” as the most passengers aboard one aircraft. (A record setter any way you look at it!) … a type of sunglasses were originally designed for court officials? In the 12th Century in China, judges in court cases wore eyeglasses of smoky quartz in an effort to mask their emotions when questioning witnesses. Jury members also wore… Read more »

Thank you, Commish, and did you know that both Cheetahs and cougars are the only large cats (so far) that purr? As opposed to small cats like my little black orphaned hellion, that is.

Commissar

Vindman didn’t push a false narrative.

He did his duty.

You just put your blind loyalty to a despotic grifter over the national security of this country and the stability of the republic itself.

Mason

He stepped outside the chain of command because he (a LTC) felt that Trump (who as POTUS sets foreign policy) was not acting within the US’s foreign policy objectives.

Commissar

That is not accurate.

You are consuming too much of your own propaganda.

Trump was withholding congressionally authorized military aid in exchange for helping him discredit his opponent and win an election.

He was literally extorting a foreign power to coerce them into interfering with our election by announcing a fraudulent investigation.

And Vindman filed his concerns though proper channels. And He testified because he was subpoenaed.

Mac

So much inaccurate bullshit. Claim others are believing propoganda, then push propoganda. Sure pal

I have a new story line that I’m writing and I’ll pattern one of the characters after you, a perpetually miserable guy who seems to live for wallowing in his self-made misery.

He’ll always be going through life like he has at least a dozen corncobs and cockleburrs up his ass just like you, Major Moonbat!

Add to that (h/t to the Eagles) “Trying to dry fuck a rolling tumbleweed, on a dark desert highway, on a lonely stretch of abandoned highway, in the American Southwest, cool wind in your hair (I imagine Lars as hairless, repeat hairless…”h/t to Chief Wiggum.”) coarse sand grinding between aching, pasty white, sweaty ass cheeks….(OK, ok, I think that’s plenty 😀 go on about your business)

Vindman, a Ukrainian-born naturalized US Citizen, was acting in what he thought was the best interest of Ukraine and not the United States is direct violation of his oath as an officer in the US Army. None of the other dozen or so people had any problem with Trump’s handling of Ukraine except the guy born there and being offered positions there as a “joke”. I wonder what he thought of Quid Pro Joe threatening to withhold a billion dollars of aid to Ukraine to protect his crack head son and a revenue stream of the Biden “Family Business”.

SPAPOS, who in the hell yanked your chain? And allowed you keyboard privileges? Way past time to get you back in your cage and double lock the latch.

Major Moonbat yanked his own chain, he can’t go even five minutes without shitting his pants over Donald Trump and we also live rent-free inside his head!

What irks me majorly is that SPAPOS comes here, out of the blue, takes a shit dump totally OT from anything said earlier, and then expects us here at TAH to apologize and clean up his mess.

NHSparky

How the fuck did you ever manage to get a commission when you don’t even know what the fuck the chain of command is for and how to properly use it?
Compound that with the fact he had been counseled by seniors several times previously for his actions and words, and I guess it makes sense why you would defend him.

On another note…
“The Biden/Harris open-door policy has been a disaster. It needs to end now. The main beneficiaries of open borders are the gangs, cartels, and human traffickers. The Trump policy of having people wait on the other side of the border worked and needs to be reinstated.”

— Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 (@TulsiGabbard) September 23, 2021

“The Trump policy of having people wait on the other side of the border worked and needs to be reinstated,” she said.

Gabbard’s remarks came in the wake of a surge of thousands of illegal Haitian migrants in Del Rio, Texas, and widespread reports of the Biden administration releasing unvaccinated and untested migrants throughout the country.

“.@JoeBiden @KamalaHarris, the humanitarian and national security crisis on the southern border is the direct result of your open-border policy. As I said in my 2020 presidential campaign, we can’t have a secure nation if we don’t secure our borders.”

The dumb scrunt thought that an NVA war memorial commemorating McCain’s shootdown over Hanoi was somehow a memorial to him. How could she be so clueless? I guess she never read any history when she wasn’t earning her kneepads.

Roh-Dog

May I propose a different set of logic; historic monuments just are. (lest they be torn down…)

Much like the memorials in the south for the civil war dead, it don’t matter much the intent but the history is real, vivid, and should serve both as a bookmark and warning.

But in her case, given the lack of constitution; the action was either a gloat or masochism. ymmv

Devtun

Yeah, how about ‘They will pay’. Meaning the CBP mounted patrols at Del Rio. Sounds like sleepy creepy Josef Bidet is prejudging while there is an investigation in process. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Hack Stone

Just saw one Fox DC 5 that Joe Biden is blaming the increase of Covid cases on Americans who have not received the vaccine. Apparently none of those recently infected caught it from the tens of thousands of unvaccinated illegally crossing the border that his administration is transporting, at taxpayer expense, across the country.

steeleyI

The problem here, of course, is that whether or not you agree with the decision to pull troops out of Afghanistan, and regardless of what you think of how this administration pulled out, THE WAR ISN’T OVER.

Hope as much as you want, think as wishfully as you can, and we still have enemies out there that want to attack us, our interests, and our friends.

The Authorization for the Use of Force that allowed us to invade Afghanistan in the first place is still the law of the land- and, ironically was the authorization that the president used for his latest drone strike that killed innocent civilians, thereby absolutely guaranteeing this particular theater in the war will produce more terrorists in the near future.

My vote, since we are in a war, is to have an actual plan that goes beyond ‘If we are nice to the terrorists they’ll be nice to us’, and platitudes like ‘there are no storybook endings’.

26Limabeans

Twenty years ago the plan was “mount their heads with pike on the Capital steps”
Looks like same plan only the heads have changed.

Unlike a previous war, terrorists don’t want jobs making our underwear.
They want us dead.

“Witness: Taliban Hang Dead Body in Afghan City’s Main Square,” AP via Yahoo! News, 25 Sep 2021
https://www.yahoo.com/news/witness-taliban-hang-dead-body-101750675.html

LC

Here are two wild stories from this week:

First, Sidney Powell suggests that the tragic death last December of 20-year old Harrison Deal, who worked for Kelly Loeffler on her Senate campaign… was, naturally, a conspiracy! Sure, sure, he actually died in a multi-car accident,… but according to her he was ‘blown up’. Why? Because he was dating Gov. Kemp’s daughter, and.. somehow.. that was sending a message to them about any potential audits in Georgia by big, scary Democratic bogeymen.

https://news.yahoo.com/sidney-powell-pushes-election-related-224000697.html

Second, not to be outdone by the stupidity of her, Mike Flynn was talking about how ‘they’ are looking at putting COVID vaccines into your salad dressing. Part of an evil plot, of course! Now, he didn’t actually say that himself, he was ‘merely’ sharing the words of someone else, but come on.. how the hell was this guy a senior official in intelligence?

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/michael-flynn-claims-salad-dressing-is-being-infused-with-covid-vaccine

Mason

According to the article, Flynn didn’t say anything to make me think he actually believes that.

“Somebody sent me a thing this morning where they’re talking about putting the vaccine in salad dressing. Have you seen this? I mean it’s — and I’m thinking to myself, this is the ‘bizarro world,’ right? This is definitely the ‘bizarro world,’” said Flynn.

“These people are seriously thinking about how to impose their will on us in our society and it has to stop,” he added.

LC

It would seem that way if he ended things at, “This is ‘bizarro world’, right?”, implying he thought the theory was nuts, but no, he goes on to say ‘people are thinking about how to impose their will on us’, and that’s referencing this notion of COVID-vaccination-via-salad-dressing, and that suggests some credibility, not dismissal.

MCPO USN

Joe Biden is a flaming train wreck right in front of you and this is your concern???

I sincerely hope you do not reproduce.

LC

This may come as a surprise to you, but shockingly I can recognize that Biden is a bit of a doddering fool, and also point out idiots like Flynn. Those two things aren’t mutually exclusive, and the latter matters more to me personally right now because I have family that follow him and his Q nonsense, and every day they’re more and more divorced from reality.

Is that OK with you? That, somehow, in the grand scheme of politics and Biden’s ineptitude, I can follow stories that matter to me, and have a national audience, and share them here?

I hope your kids are doing great. There’s zero need for malice here.

So much fora quiet weekend. Some thugs broke into my VFW post and yanked out our ATM with a chain and truck, doing a lot of collateral damage, so I’ll be down there lending a hand.

Great,
I’m sure they’re going to retire on the many hundreds of dollars a VFW ATM is going to give them.
What a waste.

Back in the mid 60’s my friend Billy hooked a chain to a payphone and his
rear bumper so as to rip the phone off the wall and abscond with same.
The phone stayed put and he dragged the booth right off the anchors and
across the parking lot with his GF Karen yelling at him. The cops arrived.
Billy gets out of the car and pretends someone hooked it up as a joke and
goes into a rage. The cops “believed” his story and got a good laugh out of it.

Even Billy though would not dare mess with the local VFW. Most of the cops were vets.

Welp, here we go again. On the heels of the incidents at Fort McCoy, a female servicemember at Fort Bliss reported being assaulted by a group of Afghan evacuees. The FBI is involved. Which means this will be soft pedaled. Nothing to see here. Sorry, confidence in the FBI (Favoritism Before Integrity) is really low.

Hey, if the local PD happens to arrest any of the Afghan ne’er do wells, the Feebs will swoop in, tell the locals it’s a federal matter and take custody of the Afghans. Just like they do with most of the bank robberies in this country.
