Our saving grace is that many of the nuclear silos are running on systems so old that they do not connect to the network.

Stops federal government from…existing and strong arming states miles away. I know a lot of Europeans are looking at the u.s. right now and asking why we aren’t pulling out guillotines, it’s because 200 million Americans live west of the Mississippi. At the very best that’s a 900mile journey, with the largest population center being 3k miles away. All that versus most states having their capitals centrally located, or at least within a days drive.

The other pro is that if every state just sent a representative, we wouldn’t have a figurehead for massive swaths of vastly different people, we’d have a straight Congress/parliamentto represent each states interest and thats it. (My personal hot take is that having a figurehead hasn’t been very beneficial to the u.s. since Washington. Like I’d even say Lincoln is debatable, not that freeing the slaves wasn’t cool as shit, but that him being a figure head at that time didn’t have much benifit)

I’ve heard rumblings of foreign countries already offering deals to phds in the US.

It’s the same playbook that they used for public schools, strip funding, let the school flounder, then they’ll start asking “well what have these universities contributed lately? Why should we fund their research when they haven’t discovered anything recently?”

The only colleges that will stay standing will be the networking hubs for their rich sons to plot the best ways to exploit the working class get business and economics degrees.

60% makes sense when you consider something like LIGO, or other real-estate heavy physics experimentation grounds, like a neutrino detector.

That’s my thing, at this point they don’t need lawyers, they need a fucking gun.

With climate change, it soon will be.

The people who are smart enough to be able to get jobs else where are also smart enough to see the writing on the wall of an anti-intellectual admin. The us is only going to get dumber, which is the goal for the gop.

One trump term is a bad date. Two is a pattern of dangerous behavior.

Idk one Trump term could be considered an anomaly, a stress test to our systems to see if we could fix them to be stronger. We didn’t. Now we’re on round 2 and speed running alienating our allies.

He’s outwardly good buddy with Putin. I don’t think China is actually doing much to crack the u.s. from the inside, they’re just excelling domestically and being loud about it while Russia does the heavily lifting.

You heard it here, throw your biostraws into a ditch!

It’s the same with him suing the iowa pollster. In the end, her prediction didn’t matter, in fact, it probably helped him win iowa by energizing his base. But he’s such a narcissist/facsist that he can’t handle anyone opposing him.

And most people would just go “hey man, that word is deragatory” and you’d probably go “oh sorry,” and everyone moves on and grows.

But Mace was told directly “hey that’s a derogatory term” and then proceeded to spew it repeatedly, because she’s a cunt.

God this bitch is so desperate to cling to her 15 minutes of fame.

Also if it’s against the law to post the names of federal workers

The guy certainly doesn’t mind cp on his site

I mean, the phrase was made because they’re pussies who can’t handle criticism of their speech. In this use the “not able to crtisize” is literally having your ability to speak shut down.

He needs to climb into a bunker and follow his leader
