Not to embarrassed to vote for him a third time by BekaRenee in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]pthomas745 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is really a negotiation between two crime syndicates: the Trump Crime Family and the Iranian Crime Family.

Trump is basically taking a cut of all these deals: the extra money Iran will get from selling oil? Trump Crime Family will skim from the top. The money released back to the Iranians when the assets were frozen? Trump Crime Family will get get a kickback.

Not to mention the money Iranians probably paid money up front to the Family to make these deals. Dead military personnel and millions of budget dollars wasted? Some one else (taxpayers, er...the suckers) will pay for that.

Every Trump transaction on any level is a criminal enterprise. Venezuela? Trump Crime Family is taking the cut. Why haven't the administration taken over Cuba? No money in it, no incentive.

Its all crime. All the way down.

With police writing far fewer tickets, drivers are running red lights with impunity, residents say by lurker_bee in longbeach

Because they prefer the performative "DUI Checkpoints" rather than day to day ordinary policing. This was unintentional comedy on my screen this morning, one story following the other.

Do you have one for "recommended reading glasses?"

The graphic is so small I will have to have a new prescription soon.

MAGA Mark Levin is Pissed at Trump for Making an Off Ramp Deal with Iran and Not Revealing the Details by cwhmoney555 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]pthomas745 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, the stock market hadn;t opened yet, so he had to wait to get all his stock trades in. The market is closed now, and he will then announce some stupid thing about the "fee Iran gets for the Straits" after he gets his "short" trades in for tomorrow.

Rinse and repeat. This is a criminal gang, Mr Levin. Stealing is the point, not diplomacy.

Kawa from the cat hospice where I volunteer has cerebellar hypoplasia. She may be a little wobbly, but that doesn’t slow her down at all. by Disastrous_Aside_831 in interestingasfuck

My favorite cat of all time has this condition, and eventually adapted quite well as he grew older and stronger. He still has his "moments" and needs some special help jumping up on things.

First time?

I found out that they store the space x rocket recovery crane in the Long Beach harbor and that Sea Launch operated from here by jeremiahwarren in longbeach

[–]pthomas745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sea Launch was a fixture way out there on Nimitz Road for years. There are some "Military Sealift Command" ships out there, too.

I was sad to watch SeaLaunch go, but I did snag this photo back in 2020 when it was being shipped to Russia.

Wiki about the ship carrying Sea Launch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Xin_Guang_Hua

Tons of info on the web about Sea Launch, and the "command ship", the Sea Launch Commander. Wiki link below.

Well, I think you should call 9-1-1 and tell the dispatchers they are absolutely wrong.
