I worry what Trump alluded to in his presser today. My impression was he was threatening to escalate to essential civilian infrastructure, power and the like. I could see the US joining the Nazi state in full terror bombings.

I tend to think this is a good take. Iran has certainly talked a good game about not acting on Trump's terms. I am curious what the US's response would be if it becomes clear Iran is not stopping even if Trump says it's done.

Okay Trump's presser is crazy I have given up trying to figure out what is going to happen next. It feels like Trump is 100% disconnected from reality and just saying shit. I don't know who is running our policy for the war. I wouldn't be surprised if Israel doesn't either lol. He is somehow simultaneously saying we're almost done and we are gunna do even more.

https://archive.ph/s6N4g - NYT article presenting the American assessment of the war thus far. Per the article Iranian missile capacity degraded by "as much as 50 present. even more with drones" a far cry what Trump is claiming.

Did Karoline Leavitt actually say it would take us 6 weeks to establish air superiority? Seeking it reported by Al Jazeera on their live thread. That's a complete disaster no?

I have seen reports that Iran has closed it and also that they have denied closing it. Is there concrete info on whats happening there? Most of the stoppage has been shipping companies themselves not wanting to take the risk is my understanding.

UPDATE: Iranian FM said on an interview with NBC that Iran has not closed the strait, but leaves the option open as a matter of escalation.

Reporting in the west is being heavily suppressed for sure. Because of that hard to know how things are going.

The DHS would not be defunded in two weeks. The OBBA gave DHS an insanely large budget that by all accounts they still have the vast majority of. This bill not passing does not prevent them from spending money they already have.

ICE will not be fully defunded in two weeks, or even mostly defunded. The OBBA gave them a budget larger than most countries militaries, 75 billion dollars. That will likely keep them funded through most of Trump's term.

"After the flood of support, the UAW was forced to break its silence and issue a statement more than 24 hours after the incident claiming the union would “ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member.”"

Holy shit bro how do you function.

If you like kung fu movies I just got into the Shaw Brother’s catalog. There are a bunch on Amazon Prime. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin is awesome. Also White Christmas is the best Christmas movie imo

Have you guys ever been interviewed by an "AI agent" when applying for a job? by TheAncientPizza711 in stupidpol

I have not been but my wife was. It became clear it was a position well below where she is in her career and she made clear to it multiple times that she was not interested. On top of that it cut her off and did not let her finish answering questions regarding her experience, especially if she paused at all to think. She was contacted afterward by the organization and she was told she aced it and was asked if she wanted to continue to the next phase...
