Location: US State Department, Henry Kissinger Conference Room
“I know, I do, I P. Me, Mike P on Iran. That which is he, who is me. You all got that?” Secretary Pompeo declared. “Iran is going to get a big steaming load of hot ass all over their Mohammadean chests, when I am done with them!”
“This has nothing to do with Iran. Just because we called in the Joint Chiefs, doesn’t mean we are asking you to create a war, Mr. Secretary.” Acting SecDef Patrick Shannahan replied. “Certainly not one with Iran.”
“But I want to take a big shit on Iran!” Pompeo sat down on the floor with his arms crossed.
“That’s not why we’re here.”
“This isn’t fair. I want to shit on Iran. I was promised I can go to war with Iran if I took this shit job, and damnit I wanna war with Iran!”
The room fell silent enough to hear the collective eye rolls from the Joint Chiefs, and Bolton’s mustache furiously fapping upon a unlit cigarette.
“We need to brief the President on…another issue that has been making the rounds in the media.” Shannahan explained. “Has anybody ever informed you of the DOD’s work with UFO’s?”
“Unidentified Flying Iranian-Objects?”
“It has nothing to do with Iran.”
“Uhhh-ranian Flying Objects?”
“IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IRAN.”
“Look, it’s close enough for government work. Let’s begin before I need another cigarette.” A fat, awkward looking man said behind the SecDef. He appeared to be sloppily dressed in a cheap suit and smelled of sweat, used prophylaxes, American Spirit Menthols, and possibly yellow curry. “I don’t have a ton of time but if this shitweasel has the President’s ear then my job is done once I pass him the ball.”
“This is Special Secret Agent Snuffy.” Shannahann began. “He has been tracking these anomalies since 1968.”
“Does he work for Iran?” Pompeo asked.
“I don’t work for Iran.” The fat man replied.
“I don’t believe you. What Iranian agency do you work for?”
“I worked with the Shah, briefly in the 70’s, but that is irrelevant.”
“I KNEW IT!”
“Listen you shitweasel, SPACE SMITH has been sighted by Naval Aviators during the previous administration. SPACE SMITH is out to rape you and the rest of the planet.”
“Does SPACE SMITH work for Iran?”
“No. It’s an ancient spiritual being that transcends time and space, jumping between planetary systems after it achieves it’s objectives: raping the planet.”
“Does Iran possess this technology to transcend time and space?”
“No, Iran is going to get fucked too.”
“YES LETS FUCK IRAN”
“Focus, you asshole. SPACE SMITH =/= Iran.”
“Exactly…focus…Iran…asshole…SPACE SMITH…rape Iran. What else do I need to brief to the President?”
“Navy and Air Force pilots have come in contact with SPACE SMITH. Some of them have gone public, and some of the media outlets are reporting it, and not just the crackpot outlets. They identified it moves at hypersonic speeds, and in a manner that exceeds human abilities. We don’t think we can talk it down, but a plan does exist in the event it must scratch its quantum itch.”
“Can Iran move at hypersonic speeds?”
“No.”
“Can we use this against Iran?”
“Not really, not without getting raped ourselves.”
“But Iran is behind SPACE SMITH.”
“Technically its the other way around.”
“Okay I think I have this now. Air Force and Navy pilots have identified a new Iranian super-weapon, this ‘SPACE SMITH.’ This is why sanctions are not enough in dealing with the radical Islamic Iranian regime….”
“Can I slap him?”
“Mathis struck him last year.” Shannahan responded. “Pompeo accused him of being an Iranian plant. Took a dozen men to remove Mathis dragging his balls across his face after he knocked him out.”
“The Iranian’s sent Mathis to take me out and Tea Bag me!”
“Jesus.” The yellow curry scented man said.
“What is the connection between Jesus, and Iran?” Pompeo asked.
“We tried. Hopefully he tells the President.”
“With the aid of their new super-weapon SPACE SMITH RAPED JESUS! Iran converted JESUS against AMERICA, and will turn this weapon against the American people, unless we act now…..”

So the Smiths have taken land, air, and sea. No where is safe. No where.
SEAL Team Smith?
*sensible chuckle*
Holy hell was that a necro post.
Mr. Peabody and I are going to go back to the current year now.
SMITH sez, “Lookee here to make it all better“.
You had a doubt?
What about caves? Or is there a Subterranean Smith that has yet to surface?
The moral of the story, according to the fictionalize version of Secretary Pompeo: SPACE SMITH works for Iran.
fictionalized, not fictionalize
Or does Iran work for Space Smith?
I’m with Pompeo on this. They shot down our drone! You know what those things cost? Some had to solder all day to get that thing skyworthy and we’re supposed to ignore all that hard work? Not on Bolton’s watch we won’t.
(Maker of military drones furrows eyebrows)
It’s a little more complicated Than that.
Procurement procedures don’t count.
I got to see some Reapers at General Atomics once, sharp wings!
GA made some great high voltage power supplies. Their HV capacitors were also first-rate but their design was from Maxwell.
The Maxwell Oldies still work for GA. Nothing is lost
Good to see you are still around. I was starting to wonder.
Hell, we could give Yusef 20K and a two week supply of Tall Boys! and he’d come up with a drone we could, as Americans, be proud of.
I do build R/C aircraft, and have many Arduinos for Deton, I mean comm devices………
I have a servo kit and a gas engine sitting in my basement somewhere. The nitro soaked scraps of the plane I wadded up are long gone. I’ve wanted to get back into it, but it’s an expensive hobby.
Let’s just say that there has been a lot of noise at Pendleton this week, and next week we are lighting up the desert again.
Controlling a drone with the wingspan of of a 737 half way around the world isn’t impressive?
I’m sure the tech involved is amazing. Even so, it’s a machine and I don’t see how the slaughter of people in Iran is going to square the ledger. It’s all fog of war right now, so we’ll see how it shakes out on the airspace aspect. Gulf of Tonkin, Babies being thrown from incubators, WMDs etc. Fool me once…
You can own the basics yourself!
here
Not saying anything about what we should do. But the drone was in international airspace. It was tracking ships in the water.
A lot possibilities are out there. Maybe there were other drones out there that were in Iranian airspace and they accidentally or intentionally shot down one that was in international airspace. Maybe the press is being manipulated by the military in both countries. Who knows? I’d bet on the idea that what we’ve been told so far is going to turn out to be in the range of not quite right to completely wrong.
When sabers rattle, it’s hard to hear the truth.
Save the drones — SPACE SMITH is on the case!
Needs more bolt on mustache
Most excellent! SEA SMITH WILL PREVAIL!
We’re not expected to refrain from making a black hole joke re: the pic, are we?
Huh. Pompeo is very different off camera.
I’ve become very jaded(numb), because of this site. I missed the kink, depravity, and psychotic fever dreams that are regularly featured on this, the worst chat room ever.

In related news, Face the Music is supposed to start filming this year.
Face the music was a totally underrated album. Well, it is, it WAS rated pretty high back when.
I like that photo.
With all this war with iran talk i asked Wikipedia about Iranian air defenses . It was written by someone with English as a second language. This was cute.

Where she been?
One thing is certain IMO, the US was in Iranian airspace, we do what we want, and a drone is nothing to us, that’s why we use them as, Trump is playing the game, again, and WINNING!
as was supposed to be ffs, and all of a sudden,Google is autocorrecting acronyms?
WTF?
Still not tired of winning…
What are we winning? Also, I don’t want to play.
We are winning because Trump won’t play War, this is a good thing,
So Trump ordered a drone into Iranian airspace because he doesn’t want a war with Iran?
SOP, Trump didn’t even know…
I would think it was probably a screw up if it was in Iranian airspace, no orders necessary.
Yep. You don’t park your Benz in a shitty neighborhood and then nuke the place because the wheels were stolen.
Only because Iran has their own definition of Iranian airspace. For the rest of the world the drone was international airspace.
I see it opposite, the World is US airspace because FYTW
I guess the word “international” doesn’t mean anything to you. There are international agreements involved. You have a big problem with the US going FYTW, but none with Iran going FYTW? That doesn’t seem right.
We don’t need to care, why waste time? let the Chinese, Japanese and Euros control the straights, not our problem
that’s why..

Just got back from the ER with the kid. Her second go-around with supraventricular tachycardia. Better than the last time; this time her heart rate (280) could be measured, last time it was too high for the hospital’s instruments.
So now we get to go on beta blockers (at age 10!) and likely a procedure called a catheter abelation where they zap whatever part of her heart is giving off the wrong electrical signal. And if it happens again she might need a pacemaker, but that’s a while off.
This is more scary than serious, but still. Having a drink now even though I’m not supposed to.
Glad the kid is OK, that’s the important thing.
Got a 10y/o daughter myself. Can’t imagine that. God speed, JB.
Glad she’s doing okay. SVT at any age is no fun.
If they can accurately pinpoint the site, ablation could cure the problem and get her off beta blockers.
I think I can speak for everyone when I say we wish you the best of luck that the beta blockers or the electric zap works.

Scary is right, I can’t even imagine .. but what with all the medical wizardry they have these days, let’s hope you’ll all look back on this as just a bump in the road.

Sorry.
Ugh. I’ll be rooting for her, man. Sorry you all have to go through this.
What Tundra said.
Jesus. Sounds like a well deserved drink.
As with everyone else, rooting for you and the little one.
There’s a reason those of us in Northeast Ohio are glad the rain appears to be taking a couple days off. This is in Canal Fulton, south of Akron.
To say there’s been a lot of rain this spring would be an understatement.
Damn, hope you’re on high ground,
I’m in the heights, at the height of a slope. The closest water source to me is Big Creek, which you can generally step over, and is at the bottom of a ravine. I’m ~6 miles from the Lake and the Cuyahoga, so I’ll have plenty of warning if the rains continue. No standing water that I’ve seen in the yard yet, and the basement is still dry.
Oh my!

SHH! Q-Bert’s attorney’s swept that whole thing under the rug. Don’t go bringing it up 30 years later. (a cubit is approximately a yard though, the average length of the forearm at that time and place)
Not quite.
About half that.
I can’t help if those researchers had short forearms.
Yikes.
We’ve had a lot of rain here, but nothing like that.
Surprisingly, I haven’t heard about flooding on the East side of Cleveland. There’s a city that has a portion of it that is across a river, and juts out into the Lake. Every couple of years the river floods, cutting off a section of the city from the rest of the world. Hell, that area got flooded out this past winter, but not this spring.
Re: Iran kerfuffle
I know an engineer who spent 25 years working there. He said the truth never passes their lips. Lying is deeply embedded in their culture. He was constantly having to remind his Iranian engineers not to lie on technical reports. Get that? They lie on technical reports about engineering and chemical processes. Let that sink in.
There is no use in engaging in any kind of serious conversation with them or paying attention to anything they have to say.
They may be liars, but are they suicidal?
No, of course not. The lying is a cultural symptom from having been invaded so many times over the millennia. It originated as an attempt to make it impossible for occupiers to succeed. It is the opposite of suicidal.
So far I think Trump made the right call. The distinction he seems to make is whether anyone was killed. He didn’t hesitate to strike in Syria when people were killed there. He called it off this time because no one was killed. He is worse than Hitler.
The moment Trump said that when he saw that 150 would be killed he called off the attack, he won my vote for 2020*. Contrast that with Albright saying that the deaths of half a million Iraqi children was worth the price of sanctions. By saying that 150 deaths wasn’t worth it, puts Trump in the future position of having to defend 1000, 10,000 deaths were he to start bombing Iran. It’s an amazing way to box the neocons in to the position of defending killing people.
*Subject to revision if he does get his war boner on.
Where’s McCain when we need him?
The only day I felt suicidal in my entire life was when I voted for McCain.
[cite needed]
No pause that he didn’t ask that question before an hour prior?
That he asked the question ever is a step above the viable candidates out there. My disclaimer* will most likely come into play, but I wanna give props when due.
My inside source says he has absolutely been agonizing about this stuff. He has a lot of voices in his ear. I’m sure he has been fully briefed on all the shady shit Iran does in the ME and around the world, and has advisors trying to press him into cruise missile attacks 24/7.
The average citizen no. I’m not so sure about some of their leadership. There is a death cult sect about a 12th Imam or something that some of their leaders followed.
This is good advice in general — present company excepted, of course.,
Iran has released photos of some of their technological “achievements”. Laughable isn’t a strong enough word for some of those “achievements”.
Declassified video of Iran’s Adam Bomb.
I miss Iron Sheik on Howard Stern.
A friend’s roommate in the dorms was from Iran.
I remember chatting with the roommate and his friend.
They weren’t liars.
The didn’t like the Ayatollahs at all. They told us their parents protested the Shah because the Shah was the puppet of the West, then after the protest headed out to the discos.
They got their wish. The Shah was kicked out, and the Ayatollahs came in. No more discos.
I think the average Iranian citizen is probably okay with the US. The problem is the Ayatollahs.
I heard this all in Seth McFarlane voices. You’ve lost the plot when it’s all McFarlane voices.
Which ones? I’m can kinda see Pompeo as Stewie.
In this write-up, all of them. All the characters read like McFarlane. Not McFarlane doing a voice, but him pretending to do a voice that he thinks is different, even though it’s not.

LOL, “typo”.

The Dems’ chutzpah since they consolidated control at all levels of government here last year has been breathtaking. There has been such a flurry of crazypants legislation since January 1 I can’t even remember all of the greatest hits.
Ditto here. With the R’s refusing to provide the quorum so they can pass cap and trade, the D’s are now threatening to pass every kitchen sink wish list bill (on top of the crap they’ve already passed this session) as punishment when they finally get their quorum.

Get to a toilet before its too late, Spud.
So tonight’s cocktail tests (both for the girlfriend) were not to her tastes.
First one she picked was the South Side: Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and mint leaves. Not bad to my tastes, not sure why the girlfriend picked it since she doesn’t like gin. Her second choice was the XYZ cocktail: Rum, lemon juice, and orange liquor. It was not sweet enough for her… so she added a heavy dash of grenadine.
Some pineapple juice added to the second drink would be good.
I’d lean the other way with a dash of bitters. Or adding pineapple juice and splitting up the lemon juice into lemon and lime, and a blend of white rum, dark rum, and spiced rum.
Then putting it into a tiki glass.
I’d add both. Then, I’d pour it into a sink and drink some high quality scotch neat, but that’s just me.
Pouring it down the sink would be alcohol abuse. I generally tend towards the old cocktails, which enhance the flavor of the liquor, instead of trying to hide it.
I had to decide between one, or two splashes of water in my rye. ?
I like to try at least one new cocktail a week, it helps keep me from stagnating. I’ve also got a solid selection of beers in the fridge (including the DDH Hi-Res), and more whisk(e)y then any two men could drink in my basement.
I will try a new cocktail at a bar, when I’m in the mood. If I like it, I ask for the recipe and duplicate it at home. I’m not a big cocktail guy, but there are four out five that I can crank out at any given time.
Quick thought: The US as globocop has become the default position. Pro and con people in the states debate whether it’s a good idea, but the argument ends in a stalemate which means globocop’s mandate continues. If the US were to cancel the contract, you’d see bad actors around the world take advantage. Question: How do you get out of being globocop even if you had a majority of the public on your side? All it ever takes is some well placed propaganda to wipe out your support, no?
There will always be a top dog. History teaches this.
In the words of Highlander, there can only be one.
Sure, but you’re missing the question. What if your public doesn’t want to pay the human and monetary cost of being top dog anymore? How do you get out of the role in that specific circumstance?
for question #1: the US becomes like France or the UK
for question #2: you are humiliated and and your country is disgraced for centuries
The Washington Doctrine gets jettisoned when you become powerful?
If you are top dog, there will be many want to take you down. A strong man will have many enemies.
And so will an asshole. Beware of fighting monsters. The line is unclear and my point is that it’s the very nature of not knowing exactly when you’ve crossed the line that leads to the inevitability of crossing the line. Not saying the US is the asshole yet, but I don’t see how you stop it from becoming one.
Anne Margret?
I think OrangeManBad is trying to nudge us in that direction, to a point. Increase lethality, shrink the global footprint, and make sure that everyone knows if we play, we’re going to play for keeps, so please don’t make us do that.
In the long run? I think a massive war that knocks us off the top of the sand hill is the only thing that’s going to change the current dynamic. I can see plenty of different outcomes on both sides of that scenario. Really none of them are good.
From your lips to god’s ears, Spud.
*Talking about OMB shifting policy, not the catastrophic war.
Trump is a counter puncher, but from his perspective, war is bad for business.
I kind of like the fact that the sea lanes are open for trade. Someone needs to ensure that and, although the Constitution allows for Letters of Marque, the founders allowed for capital ships, i.e. the US Navy.
This is a distinction from the Constitutional mandate that funds for an army were to be year-by-year. This implies no standing army.
In my mind there is no need to be the World Police. Keep the sea lanes open and let the shining example of Liberty* in the USA set the example for the people of the world.
* As if.
Yep. I find police brutality repulsive whether it’s global or not.

And double down on making threats to use lethal force on their political opponents, all the whole decrying their opponents for publicly suggesting they would resist that lethal force. Tina Kotex is a POS that should have been flushed ten years ago. Keep pushing assholes. At some point you’re going to get the violence you keep claiming your opposition espouses and uses. It won’t be some dipshit proud boys publicly marching. The rest of us will be fucked as the thin veneer of civilization cracks.
They sent the state patrol to round up the gop senators? Don’t they know the state patrol votes law and order republican?
The leadership doesn’t. And I wouldn’t necessarily guarantee the rank and file either. Besides, as long as it has a coating of legitimacy and orders from their superiors, most will do what they’re told.
“A possible militia threat”. Not even a threat. Just the possibility of a threat.
Sure, Jan.

What are the Glibertariat’s thoughts on the ‘prevent a quorum by not showing up to work’ tactic?

Man, that first Mission Impossible film aged badly. And it was only six years before the first Bourne film.
Yet the original hasn’t. Mmmmm…. Cinnamon Carter… and Lesley Ann Warren.
You are being generous. I didn’t like it when it came out. The TV series was about intrigue, spy raft, and cleverness. The movie was a typical action adventure film.
I often wonder how well an accurate portrayal would go. All these “spy thrillers” have a bad guy(s) who are unarguably bad. In the real world our intel operatives are sent out over differences in shades of gray. But the guy who does the job does not even consider the question – it is literally his job to risk his life and take another’s on orders which he pretty much knows how bad his target is based on his view of the world. I think that many people would have questions about the morality of it all.
There have been a few okay ones. Argo, Sneakers, the BBC production of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
A truly accurate portrayal would be impossible, just because it would be unwatchably boring.
And shit all over the original by making Jim Phelps the villain.
1000x this. That made me really angry.
I skipped the others after that and didn’t see them for years. I liked 4 & 5 having been long enough I don’t associate it with the first one. Still haven’t seen 6.

My brother-in-law is an attorney who has made a successful career for himself doing collections work – forcing people to pay obligations, more often the outcomes of court judgements.

About a third of the way through my BiF shipment (Thanks Grummun) and DAMN!!! Ohio has some fine breweries.

Thanks for asking. No, it was delivered to a neighbor and their AirBnB guests just brought it inside and forgot about it. Neighbor brought it over on Monday.
