Maybe they can use that to start making I-95 three lanes all the way through SC.
They need to widen I-77 between Rock Hill and wherever it finally widens just before Columbia. They also need to widen I-26 from Columbia to Charleston, and I-95 from the NC line to Savannah. The major roads in SC are disgraceful, not just the condition of the road surface, but the failure to plan for necessary growth in traffic by building additional lanes BEFORE the need is critical.
 
Probably not but also didn't go well for us last time when our soldiers who were in bunkers suffered brain injuries.

Just headaches
 
I don't understand the whole "decoy" of sending B2 bombers to Guam.

It was obvious to me that was a decoy. Wouldn't it have been obvious to Iran? Flying through Guam is ridiculously long. It doubles the flight time at least. There's no strategic benefit to it. There's no reason we would fly through the South Pacific when we could fly through NATO airspace basically all the way there.
That's exactly what I wondered when I heard that deploying B2s to Guam was a decoy. Guam? Really? Guam? NFW a strike would be coming from there.

It's closer than Missouri by approx 2000 miles. I think many thought the planes were being moved there as a staging area, which is probably the intent.

I'm sure there are better areas to stage them but you could argue for Guam as it's easier to protect, doesn't require input from allies, etc.

Based on publicly available satellite images, the sites were not totally or even mostly destroyed. That does not mean that the stuff stored inside wasn’t destroyed but FFS would it kill him to have an ounce of restraint?

Hahaha, yeah, rhetorical question.

Also, calling Anderson Cooper “Allison” seems to me to be a bigoted comment but I am sure few will care and a large segment will find it hilarious.

Not funny (and gives female Trump too much credit for skin care regime) but whatever.

Donna is way too hot. Needs way more wrinkles.
 
Yes. And I’m also not sure many people have spent much time in Graham, Swain, Macon or Clay counties. Or for that matter in Hertford, Gates, Camden, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan or Bertie. That’s POVERTY. And I fully recognize SC has a ton of those areas as well, but rural NC is not really different from what I can tell.
Hey. You cannot talk about NC poverty and not mention Robeson

That does make sense. I didn’t know it was closer. I stand corrected.
 
The conspiracy talk suggests Trump is some master planner with an incredible level of discretion and forethought. He has none of these traits. He can't even conceal his own grift. And the idea that global oil traders are somehow in on this grand plot is equally laughable. The global oil trade's value is in the trillions.

Trump does not like the look of those satellite images, not nearly dramatic enough.
 
Anyone else think he's doing this to get the media to not cover how his Big Beautiful Bill is a failure?
I would say yes, but i don't think he's smart enough to think of that. I think it's more likely he got FOMO from watching Fox News and seeing Israel attacking.
 
That's absolutely 99.9% of this.
I genuinely don’t buy it. Trump is great at distracting the media and driving the news cycle without making a politically risky decision like this (with his first resistance from parts of his MAGA base). I’m not saying that he wouldn’t do all kinds of shenanigans to change the news cycle/move on from unflattering or bad news for him, but this doesn’t strike me as the easy candidate he would be likely to employ.
