Don’t worry though, we have lost plenty of nuclear weapons that were never recovered. Due to how SAC preferred readiness in the 50s and 60s, there’s at least a dozen American nukes in the world that have never been accounted for after their planes went down or they needed to be dropped without arming for one reason or another. Those are the ones we know about that haven’t been covered the hell up by the Air Force.

Behind the Bastards did a 5-parter on nuclear brinkmanship, it’s well worth the listen.

And worse, they’re on the rise. Neonazis know kids are easy to flip, even more now with the way things are now.

At least a full 2/3 of the people that were supposed to be there when it was shut down a couple months ago (before it reopened) can’t be accounted for.

Yeah.

Pretty much why I’m anti-death-penalty in all cases. The state shouldn’t be allowed to deal death as a punishment, because there’s too much at stake. You can’t un-kill someone if you get things wrong, and prosecutors have a vested interest in, at the very least, not being wrong. Being right doesn’t matter, but being wrong can cost you your position or your credibility within the legal field. Killing the defendant wraps things up nicely because a corpse can’t defend itself, and it can’t say “I wasn’t there” or “I had nothing to do with this”, it can’t plead its own innocence - so you can put whatever words you like into their mouths and it plays perfectly with a jury.

Basically they’re terrified that this might open doors. That’s almost always what it is. They’re scared that someone might start asking questions about OTHER cases and saying “hey, what if those were wrongfully decided as well?”. A lot of states love executing people who are problematic - poor people, people of color, mentally disabled people - because it’s easier for police to pin literally whatever on them in order to clear up a backlog or to make themselves look competent.

The Earth is too cold for them because these demons are used to living in Hell.

An infantry officer who was only part of the National Guard, at that.

They’d simply go to war with Germany if they tried to kick out the soldiers, I fear. The US military is the proverbial 800-lb gorilla, and like the joke goes, it will sit wherever it damn well pleases under Trump.

What are you gonna do, tell the most powerful land and air and sea military on Earth “hey, you need to not be here”? What are you gonna do if they say “no”? Sure, you can declare war on them (because that WOULD constitute an invasion). Then what?

Then he can keep doing it even if the court blocks it because “defies court order” is the most common phrase proceeding “Trump DOJ”.

Literally what this ‘peace deal’ is. “Hey, let us keep the land so we can continue to conscript all these Ukrainian men and boys, and give us like a year to rebuild our military out of whatever scraps we have lying around. Also you guys only get like 1/4 of your current guys because it’s unfair, and you can’t call your friends for help next round.”

Worst case, “too bad, the data is on the disc, here’s a forensic service. You’re the government, it’s not financially onerous to order this”.

You’ll notice most of those that “aren’t professional” have a high rate of poor people going into those programs. This is the administration trying to kill upward mobility entirely.

I’m almost certain the reason a lot of these countries happily consented is so they can turn right back around and sell these people into slavery. They don’t have documents with them, they don’t need to be kept track of (at least from what the admin seems to care), they don’t speak the language more than likely, and they’re almost all middle class at best, meaning there’s practically no imminent risk to selling these people to, say, a VW plantation in Brazil, or Qatar, or wherever. It’s not like the DHS or the State Department is going to actually be mad at you if you lose them, they’ll just shrug and say “well sometimes people just go missing from foreign jails in countries known to engage in selling people into slavery, we can’t really do anything.”

Now I’m wondering if Trump has anything to do with Khashoggi being killed.

No, the current bill proposed allows the DOJ to redact any information related to victims or an ongoing case.

By opening a huge investigation, it basically means they can redact anything they feel like because “ongoing investigation”.

All these people see which way the wind is blowing, and assume that Trump, by hook or by crook, will be out by next year. Vance has literally no center. He’s happy to take the cash from whoever and do whatever, even if it’s contradictory or straight up illegal. They’re all banking on Vance being in the chair by 2027, and they’re willing to potentially take the year of losses if it means they have a hollow shell of a human being to deadhand whatever’s in front of him.

Also, do you think you could identify a federal agency card, especially if it’s just flashed at you? I sure couldn’t.

Slow trains here in the US generally don’t go over 50, and the rails in a lot of the network don’t support over 30MPH. Additionally, rail traffic gets prioritized to freight, because we don’t actually do PST (Precision Scheduled Timetables), so you might be waiting for hours on a stopped train so a freight train 10 miles up can unload.

That’s my point. He is enough of a fan to know the connotation. He knows what the name implies, and company names are a deliberate choice that imply things about that company.

Cuomo also basically threatened everyone in the final debate with “vote for me or Trump will invade NYC”, like he was gonna do that either way buddy.
