I'm sorry, the worlds leading superpower needs *Three* carrier strike groups to attempt to contain fucking Iran of all countries?

This kind of shit is why I wrote the following on generative AI:

Many people don't know that LA is the host city. If the Olympics go over budget, here's who pays:

💰 First $270 million: City of LA

Darrell Issa announces he will not run for reelection, the 34th Republican to do so. The rats are leaving the sinking ship. 🐀

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
