Those drat Russkies knew how to go big. Honestly, I would like to hear an in depth discussion on the decision and merit of the split in strategy. Where the US stopped chasing BIG rear end NUMBERS and decided to focus on precision and tactical use vs the USSR's kill them all and let God sort it out. Frankly I like the boldness of detonating something large enough to rattle windows on the other side of the planet. But is it really more effective than a handful of well placed future city block redevelopment plans?

Toronto FC got really loving butthurt that the Toronto Argonauts (CFL team) started playing on the same field because it rips the field to shreds It's better than having 10k people in the skydome, capacity 65k.

My understanding is that if you put a single multi-MT nuke on the top of your missile, a lot of your boom is superheating the air above your target. A MIRVed missile with a bunch of smaller nukes is going to incinerate more of the surface area you're aiming at. Agreed that this talk would be baller, hopefully it ends up on YouTube.

Ya know, after the health care bill got poo poo on so hilariously and his TOTALLY NOT A MUSLIM BAN SUPER PINKY SWEAR YOU GUYS executive orders have been blocked by the courts you'd think he would have figured out how this whole tripartite government thing works. I'd say someone should sit down with Schoolhouse Rock's "I'm just a bill" clip but he'd never make it past ten seconds, so I guess he's just gonna spend the rest of his hopefully short time in office threatening to pass laws.

I thought the Trumpenreich would be a boilerplate GOP admin. His dependence on the party to function would supersede his authority. That was the reasoning. This is much more entertaining

Makes me wonder if a Cambridge Analytica style operation targeting Trump, individually, could leverage his narcissism for UHC. He'd be an American hero for centuries. I mean, he's on social media and watching both television and internet news. In theory, his brain's publicly accessible.

They just wouldn't be the equivalent of purchasing a $100 bill printing press. But they would still make a poo poo ton of money. Unless you are including racing. Which is not solvent and is a way for rich men burn not just their money, but fat loving cash from major corporations. Kinda like politics but less dangerous to the competitors and better for the environment.

The Sounders, Last year's MLS cup winner, play in the same stadium as the Seahawks. It goes unused by the Hawks for the majority of the MLS season, so I don't see the big deal. Edit: I guess the sounders play on something called FieldTurf as well. Suck it, purists Slim Pickens fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Mar 31, 2017 |

There was a series of threads on Reddit about it where initially a guy thought it might have been these two brothers he knew back then, but later came to the conclusion it wasn't them. Even so, it was a really interesting read about broadcast signal intrusion and all the stuff that it would take to pull off a stunt like that. As far as I can remember it's the only incident of signal intrusion where they've never found out who did it. Some other guy did it to HBO's signal on satellite, got caught because he was using company equipment to do it.

Pretty bad since Graham is a Senator, and can't be speaker of the house, and I don't think a political party would ever impeach its own president. And guess what party controls both houses?

If he could spin it as "these people don't want to get anything done I don't need to take all this poo poo" and act like he's too good for it then I could see him doing it. But that would require another miserable few months for him first, I think.
