It's really great Nebraska's First District, in which 177,666 people decided a convicted felon and rapist, who tried to overthrow his duly elected successor, would be the best choice to lead the most powerful nation in the world, has now seen him do exactly what he said he would do before they chose him, and has decided they are unhappy that he did exactly what he said he would do. And it's really cute that they think getting all mad at his minion in a town hall will change the fact that their votes are not going to matter in 2026 or 2028, because they elected a convicted felon and rapist who is going to disenfranchise anyone who opposes him and his minions going forward, just like he said he would do before they voted for him.
Seriously, these stories don't make me feel better, they infuriate me. You fucking did this to yourselves, and you did it to the rest of us too. Shut the fuck up. You should never have the right to vote again.
The thing about putting a reactor on the Moon is that if it is anything like every other reactors, it will be twenty years late and cost four times what the original estimate is. Also it remains to be seen how anyone will approve putting a reactor on a rocket that could blow up.
(a) How do you keep it cool without a body of water?
(b) How are you going to launch thousands of pounds of nuclear fuel safely?
NASA has launched a fair number of radioactive packages in the past, the thermal generators for space probes bound for the far outer reaches of the solar system, where solar panels don't work. Those were in armored packages designed to withstand any accident at all, up to and including the rocket blowing up on the pad. A full-up reactor requires vastly more fuel than those little generators.
I'm a sine-tist and not reflexively against nukular power.
But I cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone would build a reactor on the moon. For half the time, there is intense sunlight and zero possibility of cloud.
HuffPost: "During his earlier “Squawk Box” appearance, the president commented about migrant laborers who fill essential roles in American fields.
“We’re taking care of our farmers. We can’t let our farmers not have anybody … these people, you can’t replace them very easily,” Trump said on CNBC. His severe crackdown on immigration has sparked concern from the American agricultural sector, where farmers rely heavily on migrant labor.
“You know, people that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They’re just not doing that work. And they’ve tried, we’ve tried, everybody tried. They don’t do it. These people do it naturally — naturally.”
He then recalled asking a farmer what happens to a migrant laborer if “they get a bad back.” “He said, ‘They don’t get a bad back, sir, because if they get a bad back, they die.’” “In many ways," Trump added, "they’re very, very special people.""
"On Fox’s “The Five,” Jesse Watters suggested: “You know how this ends? Sydney Sweeney is going to marry Barron. And it’s going to create the greatest political dynasty in American history.”
So I have to wonder watching that town hall in Nebraska how Trump even got elected. Because those don’t seem like a bunch of liberal plants. Even if we surmise the people asking the questions were plants that doesn’t explain the overwhelming support they had in that room.
So were these people fooled into thinking Trump was honest?
Would they still never vote for a Democrat because reasons(racism, sexism, fear of non binary people) and they just want the current Republicans to behave better because god forbid they switch parties?
Will they do anything different in their voting patterns going forward?
At a press conference on Monday, RF Kennedy Jr. revealed Trump calls him “three or four times a week” to check in on his administration’s health agenda. Kennedy claimed he always asks the same question: “Why aren’t people healthier yet?” "He called me last night He calls me three or four times a week and says, ‘Where are you? Why aren’t people healthier yet?’ So he’s keeping me under pressure.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr-donald-trump-calls_n_6891be81e4b06ab338943c47
What worries me is not so much Nuke On The Moon (it's almost NOTHING BUT lifeless and radioactive!) but the way it sounds Schitzenführer is going to be pressuring NASA to do the thing, as quickly as possible. Pressuring NASA was how the Challenger disaster happened, after all. Put that on top of the Reich's contempt for expert advice and the appointment of personnel based on loyalty instead of competence and I'm afraid they're going to get a whole lot of astronauts killed in this. (While China does it competently because, even though a dictatorship, they still believe in math and science.)
I'm concerned about Nuke on the Moon not so much for the moon itself, as it is composed as you say, but for how the gravitational pulls here on earth would be affected -- as I have a creeping suspicion none of that has even crossed MTV Duffy's mingy little mind
I think I skipped over a couple of steps in my thinking (and of course you read what I wrote and not what I was thinking, as reasonable people would do)
What I meant was “I think this is such a harebrained idea that he would blow up the moon with his nuclear material AND THEN what would happen to the moon's gravitational pull on the earth”
… which of course was not what I said the first time
But my thoughts are based on their complete disregard for thinking through some boneheaded “Hey, let’s put on a show” based on their conquest greed and WARRIOR BRAIN GRRRR or whatever nonsense has come out of their most recent Fascists United meeting …
… and how completely unlikely it is that someone has mentioned to MTV Duffy that you need to be really really careful transferring nuclear materials to outer space
Especially when you’ve never done it before AND you’re not exactly known for taking the advice of experts who know better than you what a bottomlessly stupid idea you’ve just had
I will point out that blowing up the moon (or any substantial planet) is nearly impossible, because it has an immense gravitational binding energy that would need to be overcome. Basically, the explosion would have to not only crack whatever tensile strength the material has -- like exploding a boulder -- but *also* lift all the fragments away from each other. That would require many orders of magnitude more energy than all the nuclear weapons on earth.
"Trump was dubiously touting his poll numbers in a CNBC interview when he took aim at the Democratic Party. "The Democrat Party is self-destructing,” he began, using a Republican misnomer for the party. “I mean, when you have low-IQ people like [Jasmine] Crockett... I wonder if she’s any relation to the late, great Davy Crockett, who is a great, great, a great gentleman. I wonder if she’s got any relationship to Davy Crockett, the great old Davy Crockett.”"
I have a question about Epstein for anyone who is following the minutiae.
This question concerns the prison footage. The camera shows a door, and then nobody going in and out of that door. However, the entrance to Epstein's cell is off-camera, apparently behind and to the left of what we're able to see. So what use is a camera pointed at an area that is not relevant to what we're looking for?

Been there, also, too.
Where are the fathers?
Ok sorry
That is the ultimate parental "WTF Face"
I could watch that all day.
I am afraid that the Gorilla GIF will be with me for awhile...
Watching Big Gorilla make the bed and that l̶i̶t̶t̶l̶e̶ ̶s̶h̶i̶t̶ ̶ Little Gorilla tear in there, gleefully 𝘶𝘯make it, and tear on out again...

That joyful baby is like sunshine.
When the kids do this and laugh! In your face mom.
I miss those days so much.
Just wait till it learns to fling poo!
Mom's frustration is ALL too familiar...
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!

This is hilarious. Having raked piles of the same leaves, over and over again, Momma Gorilla's expression relates...

More about the reactor.

Not to worry. SpaceX is going to handle all that, and Elon Musk is a genius.

It would do nothing whatsoever to the gravitational pull of the moon. That said, it strikes me as a mind-bogglingly dumb idea.
