The same could be said of ol' Cameltoe, and since she FAILED even more bigly, Trump is clearly the best choice.
Stand by, I hear Elon, Ron Paul, and Vivek are working on getting that number published.
If 15M illegals each cost the taxpayer just $500 per month, then US citizens are paying $90B per year for the privilege of hosting them.
Free to them, maybe, but we should absolutely charge their country of origin for the plane tickets. 15M seats must be worth close to $1B.
Make America Strong Again!
We have 4 years to get conservatives into those poling locations. Can't blame commies for doing commie things when we're to lazy to do it ourselves.
Bullshit.
Being vaguely away that the glowing screen might not be 100% honest about everything doesn't count as distrust of the media.
I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of those who would check the 'Not Completely' box on the 'How much do you trust your preferred medium of propaganda?' survey have neither the discernment nor the intelligence to actually scrutinize anything that the glowing box spoonfeeds them beyond maybe upvoting an edgy meme which makes a point that they would never have considered had it not interrupted their social media scrolling.
Americans parrot that they don't trust the media because we think that it makes us seem intelligent, yet we fawn over any mainstream source that drops even the tiniest kernal of truth, and wait to believe thing that a child could reasonably assume to be true until some talking head "confirms" it for us.
The question to ask is what are they really risking by lying, and what do they gain?
If a video surfaced tomorrow of all five of them in a literal smoke-filled room plotting their story, which one loses their house? Which one goes to jail?
Are you trolling, or just fantastically ignorant?
The report was TO Congress, not BY Congress. Actually, why don't you read one of them from 2008?
If we gave a shit what an EMP here might do to the rest of the universe, then we could try to measure how the effect lessens as it travels, but the burst of microwaves traveling at the speed of light from 300 miles away won't be doing much fading in the microsecond of travel between the blast and the earth.
Good thing Hawaiians didn't have cell phones back in '62!
The dude you're replying to just laid out facts as succinctly as I've ever seen, almost verbatim from a (free and publicly available) congressional report, but sure feel free to take as gospel something that some Russian dude told you half a century ago.
It was tested as early as 1962 and caused disruption at least 800 miles away.
Altitude dictates LOS. The electromagnetic pulse will travel through the open air at the speed of light until it is either absorbed or reflected by something else. From 30 miles up, the area affected would be a radius of just under 500 miles. From 120 miles up, 1,000 miles, and from 300 miles up, the radius would be just under 1,500 miles which, if detonated over Kansas would cause damage coast to coast and most of both Canada and Mexico.
Also the pulse happens in whatever time it takes for light to travel from the detonation site to the ground, so it's much closer to a microsecond than a couple or a few days or whatever the good professor said.
Lastly, the yield of a warhead on one of our Minuteman missiles is estimated to be more than sufficient to create a large enough pulse to black out most of our continent.
You're talking about the localized EMP effect that comes with a ground detonation of a nuclear weapon. When people talk about an intentional EMP attack, it is assumed that the detonation would occur at high altitude or even from a sattelite in NEO to maximize the LOS.
No, but two large nukes detonated at high altitude would have the vast majority of CONUS in the dark for a very long time.
Actually, the answer is probably yes, with a 1 megaton warhead detonated at an altitude of 300 miles.
Great trilogy.
Use your eyes. Pause the original video while the banshee is looking towards the camera and compare the faces. Not even close.
Yeah, by anyone with functioning eyeballs. The video chick looks nothing like the chick in the picture.
So neither bread nor circus this time around? Bold strategy.
From Batman to joker.
God wins. Christ is Lord.
...oh...no...please...don't...
Thanks for this! I heard that Bear posted something about this (and felt the need to preface it with, "I'm not suicidal," but I couldn't find it.
Are we kicking them out?
