If he keeps this up for the next four years who knows where we will be.
Iceland I think.
Whenever someone says “jingoism,” my brain wants to know how the fuck they’re bringing anachronisms to the conversation.

Bad translation? Recently read a book from the 70’s?
It's as anachronistic as "marxism".
 
They're getting astonishingly close despite the past 50 years of promising "fusion is just a few years away." A 1,000+ second sustained reaction is damned close to long-term self-sustained reactions (if they can solve the problems that stopped this latest run at 1,000 seconds, it's very likely the reactor (or its successor) will be able to run indefinitely).
On one hand I'm skeptical because it's China and they have no qualms about lying to make themselves look good, but on the other it's China and they would wake up with a constant throbbing erection for the next hundred years if they could get their hands on a plausible petroleum alternative.

Well the main problem with fusion is humanity hasn't even properly adopted fission yet, being too scared and instead opting for fucking windmills.

Trump needs to bring back nuclear energy big time.
 
Rate me late and gay if I missed it, but the Jan 6 protestors pardoned, how many have been released? Pages and pages ago there were 2 released (and one(?) being 'released' into an ambulace) and then talks of the guards/whatever stating no more would be released? Was that just inflammatory 'no more will be released [today]' because it was 11.30pm or something?
 
Plenty of hipsters want people around them to know the pedigree of their retarded belief structure, and they put Marxist in their own bios. You see that every day.
Jingoism is use specifically because it's older the desired effect is to describe your opponents beliefs as old fashioned and by extension wrong. These people genuinely think appeal to novelty is a valid argument instead of a logical fallacy.
 
im waiting to see if the government actually obeys the executive orders. Like pardoning j6 people and mass deportations.
 
To add to this, the cost of living needs to go down across the board, people won't be okay with the artificial minimum wage going down if it doesn't. Apartments in my area are $1200 a month at least.

The price of silver today is $1/gram.
Silver quarters weigh 6.25g grams.
6.25 x .9 = $5.625 of silver/quarter
5.625 x 5 = $28.125
Minimum wage should be $28.13.

Believe it or not but just because you get freed doesn’t automatically get you released. There’s a ton of paperwork to do to ensure the right prisoner is getting free and gotta find any belongings surrendered at the time of detainment. Doing it 1,600 times and only having US Marshalls able to handle it causes a backlog. Also the dude on a stretcher was unrelated to the J6ers afaik.
 
This pace CANNOT be sustainable, he's running the engine too fast!
Scotty's down in engineering trying to keep the reactor from exploding as we reach velocities never thought possible. Someone buy that man some fancy scotch if we come out of this wild ride without having been rendered into a cloud of subatomic particles.

Yes and no trump pardoned these people and because the left doesn't understand picking your battles or losing gracefully their release is being held by some DC judges throwing a tantrum and trying to overrule a presidential pardon. In the big picture this is probably good news because it opens them up to being held in contempt and replaced by Trump appointees.

Thank the green faggots who propagandized the 3 Mile Island and Chernobyl disaster for DECADES now. Nuclear power is more safer than any other form of power humanity has ever come up with, but we can't have anything because commies can't boil water correctly.

I didn't believe it, I figured he'd TRY all the shit he wanted, and it would just get gummed up by retard bodies top to bottom.
Crazy fuck actually did it, and handed RFKJr the pen.
He'd never ask, but I WOULD die for Israel for this man.
The power of preplanning can lead to many abilities some would consider to be... unnatural. Seriously though, flubbed language in some of the EOs aside, kudos to whoever planned it out it advance so far, it's been well executed. I'll be extremely impressed if they can keep this pace up past two weeks, that would absolutely gridlock the courts and allow them to slip more and more stuff through.
