Rob in Tampa

@clayandbuck @JohnCornyn @BuckSexton Don't be shocked if that idiot Talrico is the next Senator from Texas.

.@JohnCornyn to @BuckSexton on Trump's endorsement of Paxton: "I don't think anybody could be more supportive than I've been of President Trump. As I've said, I've voted with him 99.3% of the time. That's pretty fulsome support."

@Matt_Bove Jack Bauer

If there’s an episode from a television series that’s better than this I haven’t seen it.

@TheManilaTimes This show wasn’t even funny anymore, it was simply anti-Trump, thus 50% of the country stopped watching it.

NEW YORK, United States — Paul McCartney led an all-star lineup for the final episode of 'The Late Show' as frontman Stephen Colbert bowed out after broadcaster CBS cancelled his show as it courted US President Donald Trump. Read more: mrf.lu/-pGw

@syrup_badger Don’t be pendantic

@EmperorMax09 adjective: slow to understand what is obvious or simple

"I would like to know how many more Americans we have to ask to die for this mistake." That question from Rep. Seth Moulton sparked a fiery clash with CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper during a tense hearing on Iran and U.S. military operations in the Middle East. Cooper slammed Moulton's remark as "entirely inappropriate as the exchange escalated in front of lawmakers.

@syrup_badger Obtuse? Please buy a thesaurus

@EmperorMax09 Words matter, particularly from the Secretary of Defense. Don’t be obtuse.

@syrup_badger A news briefing does not mean policy. Keep trying g

@EmperorMax09 Hardly theoretical anymore when the SECDEF states it in a press conference.

@syrup_badger What are you taking about. There has never been an order like that, so why would he comment on the theoretical

@EmperorMax09 A combatant commander should be able to unequivocally state that an order directing no quarter is wrong. The fact that he refused to confirm a simple tenet is alarming. He’s putting the administration above his duties as an officer.

@yakno220 @sentdefender @prestonstew_ Bullshit. No family can be forced to sign shit.

@sentdefender @prestonstew_ If only Americans learned of the true losses the American side sustained during the 2-3 months the conflicted lasted. Service member families know but were forced to sign gag orders. Israel as well. In the first 3 days alone, they took so much damage and casualties.

A recent release by the Congressional Research Service detailed the lost and damaged aircraft during Operation Epic Fury against Iran. 👍@prestonstew_ for the heads up. Damaged and destroyed U.S. aircraft: - 4 F-15E Strike Eagle fighter aircraft. 3 were lost to friendly fire over Kuwait and 1 during combat operations over Iran. - 1 F-35A Lightning II fighter aircraft. Damaged due to Iranian ground fire but returned to base safely. - 1 A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft. Downed during CSAR operations for the pilot and WSO of the downed F-15E. - 7 KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft. 2 KC-135s were involved in a mid-air incident over Iraqi airspace, resulting in 1 crashing, while the other was damaged and safely returned to base. 6 aircrew were killed in the incident. - 1 E-3 Sentry airborne early warning-and-control system aircraft (AWACS). Reported damaged at Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Airbase following an Iranian ballistic missile attack. However, subsequent commercial satellite taskings and reported photos of the aircraft indicate it is a total loss. - 2 MC-130J Commando II special operations aircraft. Both were intentionally destroyed on the ground in Iran during CSAR operations to recover the pilot and WSO of the downed F-15E. - 1 HH-60W Jolly Green II combat search-and-rescue helicopter. Sustained damage from small arms fire during CSAR operations to recover the pilot and WSO of the downed F-15E. - 24 MQ-9 Reaper medium-altitude long-endurance uncrewed aircraft were lost during the entirety of combat operations against Iran. - 1 MQ-4C Triton high-altitude long-endurance uncrewed aircraft crashed in a yet unspecified mishap. In total, 42 aircraft, the majority of them MQ-9 Predators, were damaged or lost during Operation Epic Fury.

@sentdefender @prestonstew_ Yet yesterday you cited a NYT article how they adapted to our tactics implying they were more effective than this!

@ScarlettMetaX @FoxNews He an admiral asshat.

@FoxNews The general didn't answer the question. He attacked the man who asked it. That's not a defense. That's a tell.

@syrup_badger @FoxNews @PeteHegseth Huh? He doesn’t make policy, he executes it

@FoxNews Admiral Cooper was a disgrace. He’s sadly proven that he’s onboard with a political transformation of the Pentagon under @PeteHegseth. Afraid to answer a question for fear of retribution. Cooper doesn’t serve the country anymore.

@allUgotallUneed @NotTheJoeMarino But our goaltender did not outplay their goaltender and that in the end was the difference.

@EmperorMax09 @NotTheJoeMarino We totally outplayed them and you know it.

That absolutely sucks and it honestly feels even worse when they outplayed them They’ll be back and it feels good to know that we’re not lying to ourselves when we say that

@gageazeez84 @DorkyNerd3 @danfetes Were you watching game 5?

@DorkyNerd3 @danfetes They were not the better team. That’s why they lost

This Sabres season was a success. It brought a lot of hockey fans back in Western New York. It was fun. It was exciting. It makes you hopeful for the future. That’s why it hurts. “'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”

@PK_Who_ @TheChargingBUF Real class act

@TheChargingBUF FUCK YOU BUFFALO!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahhagahahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahha FUCK YOU!!!!!!

alright man 😂😂😂

@DipasqualeBen @Matt_Bove I get it, his floor is lower and ceiling higher than Lyon.

@EmperorMax09 @Matt_Bove I know he didn't. He's too inconsistent. He'll fool you and have a good game, make you put him in the next and then puke all over himself.

There is so much to talk about. The turnover, the change of direction, the Malenstyn no goal, but I keep watching this replay. Look where the shot is taken. I’m not blaming anyone in particular, but Dobes made some saves in OT. MTL had three OT shots and scored on this.

@DipasqualeBen @Matt_Bove He didn’t lose them this game

@Matt_Bove UPL cannot be on this team next year. Just cannot.

@morrison_s42433 @MikeCatalana Double LLs are a problem

@MikeCatalana Maybe you should worry about the game itself.And not who's gonna bang some ridiculous drum. SMH

Sabres drum banging list 1. Sandra Jeanneret W Comeback win 2 Josh Allen L Bad loss 3 Blade Gang L OT loss 4 William Fichtner W 4-2 win 5 Ryan Miller L Blowout loss 6 Jason Pominville L Bad loss Great players 0-3 Non pro athletes 2-0 Gangs 0-1 Who do you want for game 7?

@NotTheJoeMarino The Tuch situation is going to dictate what we do with some of the others. Definitely need to lock Benson into a team friendly long term deal, he’s driven the play this entire playoffs!

Zach Benson 7 x $$6.975M Zach Benson 2 x $4.196M Josh Dunne 2 x $1.041M Michael Kesselring 2 x $2.866M Peyton Krebs 3 x $3.546M Beck Malenstyn 3 x $2.637M Tanner Pearson 1 x $1.049M Luke Schenn 1 x $1.087M Logan Stanley 2 x $2.950M Alex Tuch 7 x $10.116M

@realajedelman @BillAckman It has nothing to do with tax dollars. Japanese respect each other and each other’s property, to include public property. A Japanese will pick up a stray piece of trash, sit silently on the train, and all stand on one side of the escalator to let faster commuters by.

Just got back from Tokyo. To NYC. It's hard to avoid the blindingly obvious truth--NY tax dollars are disgustingly wasted. It's shocking, the state of the City considering it's budget. You could "tax the rich" into bankruptcy and it wouldn't fix the MTA, which carries approximately the same ridership as the Tokyo Metro but has a budget 5.5x larger than Tokyo's. I mean the answer isn't dollars, it's actually just a question of efficiency. And NYC's government is corrupt, bloated, and the poster child of inefficiency.
