RIP -- Consequential Person Has Passed Away

And little lambsy divey

 

The NAR are the ones to be concerned about. They were very involved in January 6. Wagner organized the independent churches.

 

NAR?

Michael Ledeen

He was part of an effort in 1980 to falsely claim a connection between Billy Carter and Arafat and also Gaddhafi. He was paid $120,000 for his ratfvcking.

He was famous for saying that every decade or so, America needed to pick up a puny country and throw it against a wall just to remind everyone we could. Remember, one of the theories behind the Iraq War was that we’d easily win, and so nations like Iran, Libya, etc., would realize they’d have to back down if we started to threaten them. Sort of a Finlandization of the entire Mideast. His theory was discredited when Iraq was not, in fact, an easy win.

He worked with Project Veritas to discredit H. R. McMaster because he’d criticized Trump.

May his grave be constantly fertilized with the pee of patriotic Americans.

 

USA did win fairly easy the combat stage of the operation in Iraq. Main offensive actions were done in mere weeks.

The Nation building thing very much not so.

 

Just an awful, awful person.

Look at what years of that kind of scumbaggery can do to a face




Scowcroft has managed to get one thing half right, even though he misdescribes it. He fears that if we attack Iraq "I think we could have an explosion in the Middle East. It could turn the whole region into a caldron and destroy the War on Terror." One can only hope that we turn the region into a cauldron, and faster, please. If ever there were a region that richly deserved being cauldronized, it is the Middle East today. If we wage the war effectively, we will bring down the terror regimes in Iraq, Iran, and Syria, and either bring down the Saudi monarchy or force it to abandon its global assembly line to indoctrinate young terrorists. That's our mission in the war against terror.

George Wendt, actor, best known as Norm on Cheers.

George's final scene

I go into detail in the Ted Lasso thread, but there is a short scene in the Lasso finale where the woman who owns the bar adjusts the exact same Geronimo painting. Jason Sudeikis is Wendt’s nephew. No way that was all a coincidence. It really adds to the Lasso finale, tying it to Cheers.

I wasn’t a big fan of the final Cheers episode, but the last scene was A++.

 

This was one of the best "Norm" entrance lines:
Woody: Hey Mr. Peterson, how 'bout those new tax laws?"
Norm: "What new tax laws?"

 

Coach and Norm
"Can I draw you a beer, Norm?"
"No, I know what they look like. Just pour me one."

 

It’s a dog eat dog world out there and I’m wearing Milk Bone underwear

Best line in Cheers history was:
Woody: How bout a lime in your beer Mr Peterson?
Norm: The only thing I like floating in beer is my liver Woody.

 

Morn on Deep Space 9 was modeled on Norm.

 

So George even Wendt to space?
