Oh, I completely misread that part of the article. I thought that was talking about murder in New York.

It's both. He murdered someone in New York, skipped town to Arizona, and then stabbed someone there ten days later. He got arrested by Arizona authorities for the Arizona stabbing, and then NYC authorities asked Arizona to extradite him there for the NYC murder, and Arizona refused.

I really don't understand why Democrats insist on fighting "fair" when Republicans are completely shameless about gerrymandering. The WI map also could have been more D leaning if they wanted. Even Robin Vos is counting it as something of a win since it's basically the most R leaning map that was under consideration. Ideally gerrymandering would be banned altogther by a constitutional amendment, but since that's never going to happen why not fight fire with fire?

Some people dug up a public appearance from one of the people writing Trump's policy platform for 2024 and that "Christian Nationalism" document.

Last year, she said they need to "restore consequentiality to sex" by banning abortion and birth control to make women think twice about having casual sex.

She also says that the only way to stop casual sex and return sex to its "true purpose" is to "restore the danger to sex for women."

It is still kind of mind-blowing that Donald Trump is the vessel that these type of people have latched on to and that Trump is pushing policies that are the literal opposite of how he lives his own life.

Guess this is why Doc Brown ended up getting his plutonium from the Libyans. Not sure what Emmett was planning to do with the SAM though.

More seriously, they did actually have weapons-grade plutonium, which means they either found a source to steal it, or have a source to make it. Both are extremely bad for non-state actors to have access to.

Article says it was from the Burmese junta. although now that I think of it I'm not sure how they'd have plutonium, just uranium

e: they're working towards nuclear power generation with Russian assistance but there's no public ability to enrich uranium or make plutonium

According to DHS, we should be able to identify the source of a given sample of plutonium. There is no definitive list of who currently has plutonium in their inventory, nor a confirmed/complete list of countries who have manufactured it. Based on proximity, my guess would be either India or China as the source if it was found in Burma. It could also be stock that disappeared from the USSR following perestroika, if it found its way out prior to the Nunn-Lugar act.

Maybe it was Red Mercury

quote:

Red mercury is a discredited substance, most likely a hoax perpetrated by con artists who sought to take advantage of gullible buyers on the black market for arms. These con artists described it as a substance used in the creation of nuclear weapons; because of the secrecy surrounding nuclear weapons development, it is difficult to disprove their claims completely. However, all samples of alleged "red mercury" analyzed in the public literature have proven to be well-known, common substances of no interest to weapons makers.

You just can't trust anyone these days.

quote:

Two TV documentaries about red mercury were made by British Channel 4 television, airing in 1993 and 1994; Trail of Red Mercury and Pocket Neutron, which claimed to have "startling evidence that Russian scientists have designed a miniature neutron bomb using a mysterious compound called red mercury".

Red mercury was offered for sale throughout Europe and the Middle East by Russian businessmen, who found many buyers who would pay almost anything for the substance, even though they had no idea what it was.

...This consisted of a complex mixture of elements, including about 10% by weight plutonium, with the remainder consisting of 61% mercury, 11% antimony, 6% oxygen, 2% iodine and 1.6% gallium.[10] The reason why somebody had assembled this complex mixture of chemicals is unknown; equally puzzling was the presence of fragments of glass and brush bristles, suggesting that someone had dropped a bottle of this substance and then swept it up into a new container.

There was a report a number of years back (I can't find it atm) alleging the junta was working on its own weapons program; I'd not seen later substantiation, but maybe it was real.

Well they hate gays so that’s part of it, but they have a generalized weird obsession with babies only (but always!) being born via regular sex because god made it that way or something, as if we are thoroughbreds and as if god, if one did exist, didn’t also give us the big brains that figured out IVF to go along with our dicks and things.

She told reporters on Wednesday that GOP voters will feel more trust in the RNC by having a Trump family member installed in leadership.

“Having someone like me in there I think will go a long way for people. I can assure you that my loyalty is to my father-in-law and I will make sure that every penny is used properly,” she said. “It should be going to fight for Nov. 5 for the causes that we care about.”
