No, there’s a scaffold in front of the WH to support the asinine UFC fights tonight (and the stands for those). It’s a temporary structure, theoretically (though of course, Dear Leader has floated the idea “as a joke” of just keeping it in place permanently “for other events”.)
Not if they’re hit with a missile or another satellite. Debris could pretty easily be rocketed up into a higher orbit from a military strike.
remove and destroy
Nah, we only wanted to remove it. Trump and Hegseth have both been public that we should start building another huge wave of nuclear weapons, and you need uranium to do it. Far easier to try and mug someone else for theirs (and their oil and whatever else you think you can get) than it is to actually buy it and refine it yourself.
Or they’re doing what my company does, and holding offerings open to harvest resumes, either to sell the data or to have people they can throw on a list for their recruitment staff. Also just pumping numbers for board meetings - “we had 9k applicants for these 3 positions” sounds impressive and not dystopian to a certain type of investor.
For those not doing the math - assuming a trillion dollars just gets dumped into a bucket labeled “world hunger” (because we as the world decide to start taxing millionaires, billionares, etc heavily), and assuming we’d need $93 million to eradicate it annually, we could eradicate world hunger for the next 10,752 years.
If an insurance company refused to carry a cop, they’d be sued out of existence by every police union and booster org in the nation.
As someone who’s anti death penalty for any case, I’d prefer we waste money on incarcerating people if we must, rather than risk killing the wrong person. People have made entire careers out of justifying why an (usually) innocent person has to die, using a lot of junk science (bite mark, hair, thread analysis, a lot of CSI stuff is absolute bullshit or at least no better than 50/50).
The crime is usually better known as “being black in public”. More specifically “being a black authority figure”.
Especially with the recent East Wing argument, the lesson is “if you do it fast enough and ignore other people getting angry about it, you can do whatever you want.”
Horrible fact: the number they call for almost exactly matches the number of nonwhite people in the US, including indigenous peoples.
This is literally calling for an ethnostate, and should be treated that way.
It’s apparently largely going to be military guys (who have to meet certain height/weight/fitness criteria). Because everything has to be a show of force.
So nuclear weapons require a few more steps than a normal bomb in order to arm properly. A normal bomb can be impact fuzed and just arm itself as soon as it drops off the plane. A nuclear bomb has to have specific things happen in a specific order and specific timing in order to go off right, and is built very specifically to make sure there are multiple steps needed to even begin that process (theoretically). The positions here are “I just want to get rid of the bomb” (REL), which you would use in case of a crash or a forced landing with damage, or a fire or something, and “yes I’m sure I want to nuke that target” (ARM/REL).
Not even near term. Trump’s administration here in the US is bankrolling all kinds of fossil fuel investment and specifically curtailing renewables and trying the hardest to cancel renewable contracts, as well as nuclear. Various states are also doing this, for very little discernable reason. Sure, you can pop up a solar array pretty quick, but wind turbine farms take a while to build, same with hydro and tidal power where you can use those.
literal portal to hell
Where’s my Batman/Buffy crossover? I just want to see Alfred and Giles talking.
Gerry Conway (RIP) literally took back over the book specifically to have Punisher threaten a cop for using his symbol. “You don’t do what I do. Nobody does. […] If I find out you are trying to do what I do, I’ll come for you next.”
A lot of people don’t realize that South Korea was a dictatorship until the 80s.
There’s been inside rumors that the Pentagon, in traditional fashion, has been listing KIAs as MIA to reduce reported deaths.
Dammit, now I read the comment in his voice and cadence.
We have a functioning court system, it just has the entire federal government’s collective fist up its ass.
I was about to say, you nod along with Ted until he starts into the racist bits.
