I honestly thought it would take six months of his presidency to get to where we are today. I figured there would be the same number of gently caress-ups, just more spaced out. Jesus Christ, it's barely been two months.

I legit forgot who her running mate even was, and I cannot - for the loving life of me - tell you his first name anymore.

I'm reasonably sure I can put a face to his name, though.

Tim Kaine. Dude was raised as a Jesuit. That's pretty hardcore and I respect the hell out of him for it.

FiveThirtyEight did some analysis of Reddit posters from r/The_Donald

Dissecting Trump’s Most Rabid Online Following

quote:

So let’s use subreddit algebra to dissect r/The_Donald into its constituent parts. What happens when you filter out commenters’ general interest in politics? To figure that out, we can subtract r/politics from r/The_Donald. The result most closely matches r/fatpeoplehate, a now-banned subredditthat was dedicated to ridiculing and bullying overweight people.

r/The_Donald– r/politics

1.r/fatpeoplehate0.275For sharing insults aimed at overweight people (now banned)

2.r/TheRedPill0.274Virulently misogynistic subreddit, nominally devoted to “sexual strategy”

3.r/Mr_Trump0.266Now-dormant subreddit formed during a moderator schism at r/The_Donald

4.r/coontown0.266Open and enthusiastic racism against black people (now banned)

I am pretty sure we've never had megaton class warheads on top of our ICBMs, we always went for MIRV and "just enough boom to completely destroy a city". A ~300 kt warhead will still flatten the gently caress out of anything you care to hit, and won't create enough fallout to wreck the world by itself.

Castle Bravo, the 15MT test detonation that we did, vaporized the reef it happened over, scattered radioactive calcium over the entire world via the upper atmosphere, and its fallout is still carried in the bones of every man woman and child today.

The Minuteman missiles used to carry the 1.2 megaton W56 warhead

Doesn't our accuracy with our nukes more or less make multiple 300-350kt strikes more efficient than one big strike anyway?

Not just nukes. Our conventional capabilities are at the point that they can counter nuclear capabilities. Russia, too. There's a growing concern about cruise missile proliferation. Not to mention the growth of hypersonic missiles.

Missionary Positron posted:

Out of curiosity, what systems can counter nuclear capabilities? Accurate & stealthy cruise missiles?

Pretty much. The idea is that we can use conventional weapons like cruise missiles to eliminate an enemy's offensive capabilities by taking out mapped missile silos. That allows nuclear weapons to be used for other missions.

Missionary Positron posted:

Ah, right. It's still pretty mindblowing to me that a conventional cruise missile can take out a nuclear missile silo built to withstand at least some form of nuclear attack.

That's because when those silos were built they were hardened against a weapon where the CEP was measured in hundreds of meters and GPS was a pipe dream.

M_Gargantua posted:

Withstanding a nuclear air burst in the 70s took a giant concrete door. So they spread out silos so that one huge blast could never take out more than one at once. Once MIRVs got to the point where you could hit each solo silos within kill radius they essentially gave up and started clumping them again but with the expectation that our more mature radar systems would give us enough warning to launch any missile that was threatened by an incoming missile.

Now your threat is a wave of tomahawks which even if you've got a giant concrete door will certainly break the door enough where you can't fire the misssle, and will likely destroy the missile and warhead from falling concrete and blast wave. Hence the mission kill.

So now we are left with only submarine and road mobile missiles that act as survivable second strike missiles. And the US doesn't do road mobile missiles. Check out Arms Control Wonk's episode about potential basing modes.

That episode is well worth listening to and features some absolutely crazy basing ideas, like just letting launchers float around the ocean or on barges along the Mississippi

What about some sort of tank, perhaps one with legs so you could launch from any terrain. A gear between infantry and artillery.

Oh poo poo we need to build an AT-AT that can launch nukes. This is my idea, please don't steal it

Why can't we have both? Dolores with a LeMat revolver?

I learned about LeMats from a Clive Cussler book where Dirk Pitt uses one to save his congresswoman girlfriend from an evil Asian brainwashing boat with the help of some civil war reenactors aboard a steam-powered riverboat

it was dumb as fuuuuuuuck.

That one was definitely worse than the book where they traveled to Antarctica and discovered the lost city of Atlantis

Nah.. That guy is a gigantic bag of fucks and should be called out because he is every possible cliche of SJW bullshit that you can imagine.

If people want to give veterans an extra leg up then they can and should. Bitching about it makes you an insufferable cock.

Edit: To add on.. What he was bitching about apparently was a passenger gave up his better seat. So he is effectively throwing a gigantic bitch fit over some random person being nice to someone else because that person was in the military/a veteran.

That basically explains absolutely everything. They have done absolutely nothing positive, but they're desperate to sell themselves as God's Finest Job Creators.

I wonder if they went out of their way to explain the effect of the recession or that Trump essentially inherited those numbers.
