Such middle school energy

This may be from the meme graveyard, but it has never been more appropriate:
FYI, that whole show is available on archive.org
What’s the show?
It’s a comedy show from the 80s called “Sledge Hammer!”
Remember when they initially called the Iraqi invasion “Operation Iraqi Liberation” but changed it because it spelled OIL. Same vibes.
this is again because he thinks he can restart the clock.
They still don’t have any plan, or even coherent excuse for being there… But they spent time coming up with a dumb ass grade school edgelord level nickname for their illegal war…
Like “Operation Freedom”
Fucking embarrassing.
That’s like the kids in grade 10 who have a band name and album art but haven’t learned to play an instrument yet.
I’ll accept no criticism of Rod Torfulsen’s Armada Featuring Herman Menderchuck.
fuck, im 60, and this is where I am at :(
As long as you don’t brag about your band, you’re still good.
You wouldn’t know about my super cool band. We only play in Canada. The same country where my girlfriend is from.
Was there something about Operation Epstein Fury they didn’t like?
Yeah, it’s been 60 days so they are supposed to need congress to approve any further conflict. This lets them pretend that this is a new operation, and therefore a new conflict, to reset the timer.
It’s more like “Operation White Flag”. Strategically, this ends in a major loss for the USA. The only winning move was not to play . . as every other US President since Jimmy Carter was smart enough to understand. The 2 remaining choices are: commit the entire DOD to a ground invasion of the Iran homeland . . or lose. And there is no sign the DOD is ramping up for a ground war.
In that case, Operation Soiled Diaper is a more apt name.
Or Operation Loaded Diaper, or OLD for short.
I think the fascist’s assumption is that things can’t get much worse for them, so they might as well make their enemies suffer more as well:
“We can’t take a bigger L than we already have, so by doubling down we can outlast Iran and the rest of the world. Even though we’ll have to deal with increased energy costs and a worsening economy, many other nations will be hit harder as we have enough domestic production. Our domestic oil exec buddies can even sell for a profit at high prices. The November elections can’t get any worse for us and our base will never truly falter, so now might be time to pivot towards rigging elections and nullifying Congress!”
Of course, things absolutely can get worse for America, as a prolonged closure will cause every nation on earth to totally abandon the US. Our economy can absolutely go into a deep depression if something else goes wrong, and the ripple effects from that could be monumental.
Well, you say nobody won, but tell that to all the inside traders who made bank from this war.
Well, gosh, if a rebrand doesn’t fix things, I don’t know what will!
Zuckerberg, is that you?
It really is middle school energy, that’s just embarrassing.
WHAT IF WE CALL IT… JACKHAMMER?
Think about it Billy, a jackhammer is like a sledge hammer but it moves by itself!
It’s totally awesome.
Hey, want to come over to my house to play? We have Caprisons and my moms working late so we can play Nintendo 64.
I really don’t want Peter Gabriel stuck in my head anytime I have to listen to the news.
Nice! I should have looked first. Screw it, I’ll keep my version up too.
Yeah, keep it. The world needs more Sledge Hammer.
Well, actually the opposite, but you know what I mean.
You could have a steam train
If you just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you didn’t park it within range of the drones.
Did Operation Orange Pee Pee not poll well or something?
