Some of their objectives may look unreasonable to you and me, but their actions seem to me completely reasonable in trying to achieve those objectives.
It’s still better than a lot of decisions the US makes. For example, the ridiculous tariffs, the decision to invade Iran, kidnapping the leader of Venezuela, threatening to conquer countries that are supposed to be allies…
Exactly.
So… Drones can now use facial recognition. Relatively cheap drones.
What’s to stop someone from launching a dozen or so small drones with this tech, also equipped with 10 grams of Semtex and a detonator? I assume that the anti-missile defense system would be hard pressed to defend against a dozen of these all coming in at low altitude from different directions…
Probably a jammer would work. Anti-missile defense systems are to protect against missiles, such as those launched by larger military drones (the kind the US uses for taking out strategic targets). If there was a credible threat of a small drone attack, there are different countermeasures. The military even has a document explaining the measures they have in place.

And of course I doubt that outlines everything they’ll do, for security purposes.
Makes sense. Anti-drone systems are probably big business these days.
It depends on whether they hate Trump or America more. If hurting the US is their top priority, then they’ll want to keep Trump in power as long as possible so he’ll keep doing damage. If personal revenge is more important to them, then they’ll want to kill Trump.
They’ve hated America for a long time; by extension, they’ve hated every U.S. President, at least as far back as Carter.
What Trump has done, which I don’t think any other U.S. President dating back to the ouster of the Shah has done, is (a) wage actual war on Iran, and (b) personally signed off on the killing of two top Iranian officials: their Supreme Leader, and a key member of their military.
They might well hate Trump even more.
So he finished eleventh in a ten-candidate field? That’s pretty bad.
He lapped them backwards.
Online marketplace PublicSquare, backed by Donald Trump Jr., has suffered a 99% share-price collapse after accumulating huge losses and consultancy fees
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I guess for this family, it should be the road apple doesn’t fall far from the horse’s ass.
I am so stealing this.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a large portion of those consultancy fees went to Donald Trump Jr.
I heard it somewhere, sometime, and it seemed to fit here.
Yep the article says he was getting a disgusting amount each month, equating to around half a million a year. So the schadenfreude is aimed very much at the suckers who invested money in shares, rather than Jr himself, who, just like Pops, somehow escapes with all the money and none of the consequences.
I was not sure where to put this… a short satire about Trump in the style of Hemmingway:
Wow, did I mis-read what I quoted.
Brilliant!
