I was thinking more of ‘play with your prey’ animals or some selected arthropods with a side dish of jellyfish.
Wood chippers would quickly lead to uncontrolled blood loss putting an end to the procedure.
If there were anything to the supposed military rationale for the attack, there would have been attacks on military targets. You know, like missile batteries, military bases, etc. But of course there were not, because it’s never been about that. Instead, it’s right out of the Russian playbook in Ukraine. Probably be about as successful, too.
There’s a lesson here, for Iran or anybody else in the world. Throw a big party for Trump, with flashy (tacky preferred) props and such. Like the Saudis did. If I was in government in Taipei, I’d be looking hard for a way to do something like that to boost Trump’s ego.
Open thread, so: this is cheering:

Other hopeful signs (from TX):
There were about 100,000 more total votes in the D US Senate primary than there were in the R US Senate primary. Texas is still very red, but even with some election ratfucking going on, the Dems managed to turn out in competitive numbers.
Crockett has come out already for Talarico, trying to use her own momentum to boost him for the general election. Talarico still needs to go to the districts where Crockett won big and make sure to do some listening and show that he’ll fight for them as well, but I’m sure he will be on that soon. The big difference between those two is more one of tone and emphasis than of any substantive policy difference.
Talarico did especially well in latinx border districts, which could be a promising sign for how latinx Trump voters might break now that it’s clear that the R economic promises were bunk and their communities are a target.
Harris, who had endorsed Crockett, is already starting to reach out to her supporters to rally their support for Talarico.
…I hope Cornyn and Paxton go after each other like bantam roosters, and that both leave indelible marks on each other in the process.
We’ve got some Texans here, so opening another post to talk about it.
On PredictIt, I bet on Crockett, so no joy. I bet against Paxton, so I’m still in the game on that one.
