I'm not sure if other people will agree with me, but I feel like Trump and Obama have a lot of common Policy.

I voted for Obama. I was still in shellshock from two terrible George Bush terms. Also, still a very young man. Obama's policies would be considered far-right by 2025 standards.

Let's see how long it takes the CIA to kill a Kennedy this time.

it's official

I absolutely ADORE that Trump had this done in the Oval Office, right in front of him. He did the same with Tulsi, but he didn't do it with Noem or Hegseth, or any other of his picks.

It shows just how much he thinks of them as part of his ticket.

This is also why I like Elon's videos in the OV. Democrats seethe but no, we did vote for Elon—he was part of the bargain. As spergy and outright retarded he can be.

I cant overstate how much I love Elons interpretation of "optics"

Speaking at the oval office? gotta bring the rug rat and hold him in 5 square feet for 2 hours while adults talk about things that he cant begin to fathom

Meeting with the India prime minster? "Prisha get the hell in here, you match"

the truly best part is to the 80 iq facebook scrollers actully respond positively to this, saw so many non political people in my sphere post about how Elon with his kid was "the cutest press announcement ever"

Cant wait to hear them talk about how polite it was for Elon to show respect to his culture by bringing out one of his kind to make him more comfortable.

your telling me the people who built it says its safe?

I dont think we have ever seen a nuclear reactor ship of that size hit by another ship of that size, all the reports and facts are nice but this is a real world trial and thats when we find out how "unsinkable" the titanic really is so to speak

Im not saying Im right, im saying it merits watching and remembering that this might be a unique event so far in our history

Just throwing this out there - isn't the reason that, in reactors, they put spent nuclear fuel rods in a pool of water because water is extremely good at smothering the spread of nuclear radiation, IE down to like 20-25 feet?

That is to say, if there was some kind of critical incident at sea where a submarine was sheared in half and sunk to the bottom of the ocean with a reactor on track to melt down, doesn't that problem solve itself, because you're left with a hull at the bottom of the ocean that's only a danger to things within an incredibly small distance of it?

My experience in manufacturing is that women are inescapable in a modern factory environment. All the jobs that were dangerous, physical, or difficult were men. All the jobs that required sitting down in an air conditioned room and doing mundane, tedious tasks were women. Middle management (the people bitching at you to work harder) were all women. Upper management (the people making decisions) were all men.

It's all run like a slave plantation. The men get all the relevant shit done while the women get to stay in the big house so long as they can keep the men from revolting. If you want to see a 5'1 Mexican beach ball with 4in fingernails screaming at the top of her lungs at a 6'3 260lb welder over shit she doesn't have a clue about, get a job at a big factory.

Half the reason trade work has fallen off with young men is that they don't want to work for women that act like men. They forced a shitload of women into the trades over the last 20 years and maybe 20% of them are capable of doing the job. 50% just quit, and the 30% that sucks at the job but refuse to leave get forced into managerial roles because nobody wants them on a job site. Now you've got a woman named Lexus telling you to spit your chew out while you're trying to dig up a culvert pipe. Nobody wants that shit. Let men do men shit and they'll be a lot less miserable all the time.

@Fatpacks do you get paid to be wrong?

@Fatpacks I hereby permit you to add a 4 leaf clover to your avatar. You're officially the thread's good luck charm. Keep dooming because it's becoming a great way to base predictions off of.

Let’s be honest, when Trump announced his retarded Gaza idea some people here were doing mental gymnastics to justify why it was a good thing

Must be boomers. I'm sure I'm not the only one with older family that thinks literally anything that comes from Trump or Elon's mouth is gospel.

It was pretty crazy hearing them always talk about how there needs to be more faith in the American worker just on the next day to be spouting to me about how America needs pajeets and chinks to replace the American worker because they're smarter and when Elon was getting pushback about it and started banning people it was all "Elon doin good making those lefties cry!" Even though he was banning mostly conservatives lol.

The same thing happened with Trump and his Gaza plan, they already treat the idea as if it's already a sucess and Gaza is now paradise on Earth within a day because of Trump's holy words.

The point I'm making is that it's not just liberals with Frankenstein brain radio controls, sometimes conservatives are guilty of the same annoying shit. The way I handle it with the boomers in my family is to just nod along and make them feel smart. I've tried disputing them in these situations before and it leads literally nowhere. "Yes, we do need more immigration all the sudden" "yes Gaza is the best and absolutely not a shithole inhabited by rabid animals, we might want to go vacation there ASAP to beat the crowds"

Having thousands of nuclear missiles seems like overkill. Is it just some way to waste money on grifting? I understand maintaining enough for "mutually assured destruction", but after that it is pointless. Not blowing money for no reason is an easy win.

The nuclear proliferation situation is because the math of proliferation isn't based on how many times you can nuke the planet, it's based on a math equation using this logic:

We need enough nukes so that we can nuke the silos of the other side plus have enough left over to also nuke their cities.

So say the enemy had 10,000 silos, each with a nuke. We need 10,000 nukes to destroy those, then also another x number of nukes to take them out.

This means if the enemy builds 1 extra silo, we can no longer fully nuke them effectively, so we need to build another silo too.

You might have a few objections, like:

"But what about mobile nukes like on submarines?"

That sounds like a problem we could solve with even more nukes.

"But what if they become allies with another country that has nukes?"

Sounds like a good reason for doubling our nukes, just in case.


Essentially, the governments were just using spreadsheets to calculate how many nukes we "need", and the answer is "As many as every other country combined, so we can nuke their nukes, plus also enough to nuke every other country, plus a little extra just incase."

They are really taking some serious steps now, women are threatening to find problems with others, that never happens!

RFK just said "restoring our health TO THE GOLD STANDARD"

I hope his first action is to set to one gallon the recommended daily allowance of FUCKING BLEACH for all of his siblings, cousins, nephews, and nieces that opposed his campaign/confirmation (especially those turbo-cunts Kathleen and Caroline).

My experience in manufacturing is that women are inescapable in a modern factory environment.

Women have been in factories since we started using steam, generally doing the lighter assembly work that's now automated. I have 2 distant relatives (like great-great-grandparents or something) who worked in New England cotton mills before coming back home to start a family. Women getting into management is the new thing.
