Surprise! It's $24 Billion with a B! That's how much ransom Trump is willing to pay to get himself out of vietnam. If only Israel will stop attacking Lebanon. Which they won't. So this continues on ad infinitum. Welco mm e to the forever war literally everyone told him not to get into, and countless generals took early retirement in protest for. But keep pushing a partisan agenda.

Comment Israel (Score 2, Insightful) 135

This is a three sided war, Israel needs to also agree to all the terms including the "don't invade lebanon" one. At this point they have shown zero indication of signing the MOU. Without participation of Israel this thing is pretty much dead in the water.

Comment This will be very effective (Score 3, Funny) 32

One of the problems America currently faces, is that we're still getting far too much science done, it's not costing us enough money, and the money it does cost is being wasted on paying the salaries of scientists instead of personally paying whoever contracts to kick back the most to political appointees.

I believe this will help solve all three problems.

Comment Flight to quality (Score 1) 100

The US has had price shocks with Iran and Russia and..... there was a flight to quality. To GOLD. The price of bitcoin sat flat, and then shrank, whereas the price of gold keeps going up and up. Bitcoin never really recovered after that. First real test of bitcoin as a store of wealth and it failed. It's never really recovered since then. Gold remains king.
 
I don't actually own any gold and don't have an interest in it, but it's been hilarious to hear people claim bitcoin was digital gold, and when push came to shove, people pushed bitcoin off a cliff, and the price of gold stayed strong, proving all the bitcoin promoters wrong once and for all.

Comment Re:400MW what? (Score 1) 88

Is thet number thermal output or Electric? I'm no expert put afaik it's a rather significant difference

Net electric, it's in the fscking summary:

Overall, the present design of ARC is expected to produce about 1.13 GW of fusion power, with 500 MW of that extracted as electricity. Some of that (100 MW) will be needed to power the plant's operations, leaving 400 MW to be sent to the grid.

Comment Why is Trump keeping Epstein in the news? (Score 2) 63

Every single day, it seems like the White House does something to keep the ongoing Epstein Obstruction Scandal in the news. It's been the top story for months and every single day there's new news about it.

On Thursday, Todd Blanche, presumably acting under orders, spent all day obstructing the release of the information. And then he did the same thing on Friday. And now there's this UFO story, looking almost custom-made as a silly distraction. Blanche or Trump clearly wants to keep the illegal obstruction on voters' minds, as an evergreen topic so that it never goes away. But why?

What does Trump get by working so hard to persuade every American that he disagrees with a law that he signed, implying that laws is a bad idea and shouldn't be applied or enforced? What advantages are gained by an explicitly pro-crime agenda? What's the advantage of campaigning on releasing the files but then breaking my campaign promise?

I (naively?) think if I were in his position, I would comply with the law so that I don't go to prison for obstruction, and so people wouldn't notice every day that I'm still casually and continuously committing crime. I would let, no make the files come out, so that everyone can see the criminal witnesses confused me with the actual rapist, Biden. That would put me in a position where I'm seen as pro-law instead of anti-law, and it would also put to rest all the speculation that the "Epstein" files are actually mostly about me. Seems like that would be good for everyone, including myself.

So why commit obstruction when the releasing files will exonerate you and make all the problems go away? This strategy doesn't make any sense. What could I possibly be missing?

I feel like there's something incredibly obvious that everyone with a more-than-50 IQ has figured out about the president's lily-white innocence, but somehow I'm just too fucking stupid to figure it out. It's humbling, and makes me question my deeply-held faith in the president's genius.
