As we Texans say - Bless your heart.
By the way - you left out Acid Rain. That was another nutty leftist thing around the time as the hole in the ozone layer.
Seriously though - there was video from this launch showing the (non-nuclear) warheads hitting. Now I don't know how many nuclear warheads can be in one of these IRBMs because they are smaller than ICBMs I've heard this one can carry 16 with MIRVs but who knows. Maybe only a couple or a few with higher yields can be placed in IRBMs, although this missile contained MIRVs so it likely had more. Judging by the videos there were at least 12.

The warheads are just small nuclear missiles that have targets programmed into them and are released from the main missile at altitude. Kind of like SpaceX releasing dozens of their satellites for StarLink.
These are real and it isn't even hard to believe. They are basically tactical nuclear missiles loaded on top of a rocket. I think they are much better than a high-yield warhead that just wipes out everything around. These things can have much smaller yields (down to .01 megatons) so the radiation would be contained to a small area. They can also have higher yields, though not as high as a single high-yield warhead.
Here is a good writeup on MIRVs from GWU. Wikipedia has one as well. The one on Wikipedia shows a US Peacekeeper ICBM with MIRVs. To me it reminds me of those square fireworks that have rows of whistling bottle rockets.

The 2nd sentence from this guy's truth is wrong.
As we know, the Attorney General is the only person who can prosecute a president and congress.
No we don't. The AG can not prosecute a sitting President. Nobody can criminally prosecute a sitting President. The only remedy to prosecute someone while they are President is to first have CONgress impeach and convict him. Then, and only then can that person be prosecuted - because they are no longer a sitting President.
The AG can however criminally prosecute sitting members of CONgress. CONgress themselves can also go after members with their internal rules but the biggest thing they can do is expel the member.
If this guy is trying to say prosecuting a president can mean prosecuting a former president then fine, but that is not the same as prosecuting a President while they are President.
Unfortunately he can. The only exception to a presidential pardon (aside from only being able to pardon Federal cases) is that he can't pardon someone from their impeachment.

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
Yeah - Rudy would end up with somewhere near zero votes after losing both his NY and DC law license.
Sidney won her appeal in the Texas Supreme Court, but likely only because the bar screwed the case up so bad they were ragged on by the court. I think they will fix all their stupid mistakes and file again. She could get a few votes more than zero, but I doubt it.
You may be right. The lists will be like a state funeral - a distraction for weeks (or longer). It could also have the effect of telling the normies that the people voting against the nominations are on the other list(s) if they start by releasing only one of them.
Turns out the guy listed as owning that LLC is John B Marion. He was (is still?) a Trump attorney. He helped force the local city council to allow Trump to live at Mar-A-Lago even though it was classified as a business (the golf club).

I wonder if Trump paid him by signing stuff so he can sell it? If you look at this business site put out by the State of Florida - so it is official - you can see info on the company. If you click on the PDFs at the bottom you will see John B Marion's name in the annual reports. There are also email addresses in those documents - you might want to try those.
Oh this isn't good...
Some of them, like the “Official Trump Watch Collection” — where one model costs $100,000 — were listed as affiliated with CIC Ventures LLC, a company that Trump reported owning in his 2023 financial disclosure.
Sweet! I wasn't on X until this summer because I couldn't get my old account back. I got on recently with a new one and am getting ready to request they rename my current account to my former account. It just died of old age with only one post - not one that would get me banned.
Thanks. I do know a little bit about how these things go. Usually a company contracts with the celebrity to sign x amount of items and sends them to the celeb. For guitars for example, they send that plastic thing near the strings called a pick guard. They might send 100 or more for the celeb to sign and send back. Then the company glues them on crappy guitars and sells them for much more than they are worth. (I saw this on an episode of Pawn Stars where someone tried to sell a crap guitar with a popular signature for way too much money).

It is possible the contracted company that Greenwood used did the same - especially since they glued the page in.
That said - they could have also copied the signature, made their own pages, and pasted those in while they sold the real sigs somewhere else and pocketed even more money.
If your sigs exactly match the sigs posted by u/GodLovingPatriot I would immediately sue the company. In the mean time I would send a tweet or truth to Trump, Don Jr, and Lee Greenwood and let them know you suspect that the company used is committing fraud. You might have a better chance of getting a response from Jr. He would certainly have his dad look at it.
I think we will find out at some point that Putin picked up the phone and notified us this was coming. In fact I would bet he either called Trump and had him relay the message, or he had a conference call with the current administration and Trump so they couldn't lie about Putin giving a warning. I'm leaning to #2.
Also that tweet thread is noxious. All of the Russia, Russia, Russia people came out of the woodwork. I get that the chosen missile is used for nuclear purposes, so when NORAD sees one go airborne then all of the protocols start and things happen that are almost (if not entirely) impossible to stop.
I see no way that Putin would launch one of those missiles without warning us and NATO. Otherwise the nukes would be flying back at him from all angles. That's a big part of why both sides know the nuclear missiles the other side uses.
Maybe he warned us on the call that the next time we launch our missiles from Ukraine against Russia, the next missile won't carry a warning but it will carry a payload.
and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!
I wonder what this is pointing to?
Maybe the new AG requests CONgress to appoint Gaetz as Jackass Smith's (legitimate) special counsel so the cases against Trump can finally be dismissed with prejudice? So if the reps lose the 2028 POTUS election a new AG can't resurrect the case and jail Trump? Who knows - maybe a deal was made with the anti-Gates people and the RINOs (probably some of the same people) to allow him to receive Senate approval as a special counsel for this purpose in exchange for him withdrawing from being the actual AG.
Pure speculation on my part, but I think it is very plausible. That quote I posted at the start of this reply makes me believe this even more.
He resigned quickly because a special deadline was coming up regarding when the seat can be filled. He said if he resigned that day, based on the timing for a special election, the seat could be filled by the day the new CONgress starts on Jan 3.
Gaetz said that a few times, and so did Johnson (SOTH).
Kek. I would love to see Kash as AG. However if you think the Gaetz nomination was a shit-show wait until you see what happens if Kash's name is floated for AG.
The dems would need way more heads since theirs have already exploded.
My eye is untrained but that looks like what a sharpie would do (doesn't mean it isn't a copy though). Do you see bleed-through on the back of that page or did they put the signature on a cover where you can't see behind it? If there is bleed-through it was likely hand-signed. It could still be an auto-sign though.
You could also get u/NeverStopBelieving to take similar pics and compare them. If the sections that look like the fuzzy side of a sharpie made a faint or thin line are the same on your signature and their signatures then it is definitely a facsimile or auto-signed signature.
Go to https://catbox.moe , upload a pic of the signature. copy the link that is generated on catbox, and paste the link here.
Dam - thanks for bringing up a memory...
I had a foster kid accidentally sit on my wife's sugar glider and kill it. It sucked. That thing was fun. It would go up to our 2nd floor, get up on the rail, and jump down on to us - usually on our shirts. They glide very well. My wife was even able to watch as it ate those "pinkies" - baby mice that haven't gotten their fur yet. It needed protein every once and a while.

FBI Director is not a cabinet position but still requires Senate confirmation. AG runs the DOJ - which includes the FBI.
