Allan Lichtman AKA Keysus Christ is back with more copium. In his latest stream, he's smug because he predicted that Gaetz wouldn't become the AG.

This is something we all knew was likely not going to happen unless Trump fought for it, which he didn't. I guess the Election Nostradamus is now all about making mild predictions about whatever the fuck sticks now.

I love the fact this election broke him and the rest of the polling predictors.
There is nothing wrong with looking at polling data to predict outcomes. But in the last 10 or so years, they have been captured by this can never be wrong aristocrat personality. Partly because they have been captured ideologically by the democrat cult. And the other part is pure narcissism and unwarranted self importance.
Meaning, they set out to prove cumala would win in a landslide, by ignoring, discrediting and attacking any data that said otherwise. They are not looking for unbiased data. They are looking for data that proves their personal politics right.
The woman who called wrong is quitting in shame. But Key man here is trying to TDS rage post, through the rough patch and rebuild his credibility with small easy to call shit.
He tried to use keys. Not knowing Donald had a lock pick.
I don't think it will work, and he will never get mainstream cred back. I can imagine during these 4 years he may get a full lolcow thread on him, if he keeps going down this path.
Cenk put the bullet in his head on live tv. That i bet is what has lead him to fire up streams doing this.

At least "Idiocracy" was funny. It was a deliberately ham-fisted piece of social commentary, absolutely, but it was never meant as some pseudo-intellectual exercise in dooming. Kind of funny that leftists are bringing up Idiocracy and presumably insinuating the Trump-voting majority are the retards and that is bad, because that can easily be interpreted as a vaguely pro-eugenics outlook... Aren't they the ones all about social justice, uplifting marginalized people, anti-racism, pro-reproductive rights, and definitely anti-Nazi? Not a great look for a liberal to imply that they want to stop low-IQ individuals (or Republicans, or rural folk, or whoever else they deem unfit) from breeding considering America's history with that (spoiler: it was abused in ways that were pretty fucking racist). I'm not sure if it's total ignorance of American history or if "Idiocracy" somehow managed to be too subtle for the people parroting this to understand, but it's just funny considering the leftists love using "Nazi" as an insult.

I got done watching it hours ago. It's ironic when they can't back up how we're anything like the movie other than Trump existing when it feels more like a rip on leftists. Like consumerism and the people loves being ruled by mega corporations and don't know any basic function like watering crops.

I don't get why Trump hasn't said wtf is going on with this. So far he keeps defending the SS?!?

Goddammit I don't understand any of this shit at all. If even Trump's going to say the SS did ok, what can anyone do?

because there's not much else he can do for now, especially if he needs their services. throwing them under the bus currently doesn't do anything, and he can clean house and go on a firing spree in january.

are truly the perfect military weapon. they can kill the crews of tanks and armored vehicles, entrenched positions and bunkers with no more damage that a large conventional bomb. the enemy is dead within a day. Nuetron bombs are the ultimate hard counter to hordes of tanks and infantry. They would have the perfect weapon to use in West Germany if the cold war went hot. very little collateral damage.

Eh, not really. Like a lot of leftover cold war ideas, they get overstated in their usefulness. They are not at all suitable for dealing with entrenched positions, infantry, and bunkers are right out.

The main issue with neutron bombs is that they have a hard limit of about 10 kilotons, due to how rapidly neutrons are absorbed by air, and most were actually designed for about 1 kiloton yield, usually artillery launched.

So you need a ton of them to saturate a large area effectively. Against massed tanks they might be effective, but even there doctrine called for mass bombings, as you need the tanks to be in the direct blast zone to hit them with enough radiation to penetrate armor.

Infantry can spread out more freely than vehicles and so neutron bombs would be generally less effective than cheaper conventional weapons, like cluster bombs. Especially as even a single layer of sandbags or a foot of concrete can sufficiently protect ground troops from the radiation burst. A simple ditch or foxholes would be enough to render the bombs largely ineffective.

The other issue is that to be effective against ground targets, you need to airburst them right above the ground or even at ground-level, due to the short range of the neutrons. This unfortunately means the blast force will destroy most buildings, and due to neutron activation anything made of metal can become radioactive, making the area largely unusable for a protracted time period and creating a lot of fallout.

Worse still, the humidity level can greatly effect the effective range of the neutrons emitted, as hydrogen in the air absorbs the neutrons. They're probably pointless to use in any humid environment, like over water, jungles, during rain or fog, and so on. At least compared to cluster bombs or other tactical nuclear devices.

Neutron bombs are really best used as anti-ICBM weapons, where they can burst in the upper atmosphere and the neutron burst can interfere directly with nuclear fuel in nearby warheads at a greater blast range than typical counter-missile systems. To my knowledge, the only neutron bombs that still exist are Russian/Soviet counter-missile systems (and whatever Israel has stockpiled).

"I can't believe you would vote for the man taking your child (who I think you should have murdered in the womb)'s rights to murder your grandchildren in their womb away" will never not be the funniest cope.

"You have a uterus, this is the only issue you should care about and you are only allowed to agree with the longhouse hivemind" is a close second, tho.
