    We don’t really have much “media” any longer… Just lots of propaganda peddling nonsense networks owned by rich shitheads.

      They’ve always had a financial interest in Trump being president because he’s so volatile of a person that he draws traffic with everything he does. People fall for it all the time. I’ve stopped caring much about what “Trump says” and more of what Trump DOES.

    Fox won’t and the “left” normal media won’t unless it’s diagnosed because they are beholden to journalistic integrity. This is the disparity we’re stuck with.

    I wonder just how many pictures of this guy people will share modified with penises after he’s no longer in power.

        It’s part of Project Plowshare from the 1950s

        Meteorologist Jack Reed took inspiration from the 1952 Ivy Mike nuclear test and drew up plans to disrupt hurricanes with nuclear bombs.[13] Reed, an early hurricane hunter,[14] had worked in the U.S. nuclear test program and studied the atmospheric effects of nuclear explosions.[13] He authored the paper “Some Speculations on the Effects of Nuclear Explosions on Hurricanes”, containing two proposals: Plan A and Plan B. Plan A envisioned using one or two 20-megaton nuclear bombs to destroy a hurricane’s symmetry, weakening it and redirecting it back towards the ocean. Plan B envisioned using a single 20-megaton nuclear bomb, or many smaller bombs, to blow the eye of the storm into the stratosphere, which would slow or halt the hurricane. He was amenable to both dropping the bomb from an airplane or launching it from a submarine. He argued that radiation would have minimal effects and did not address potential harm to marine life. He presented these proposals to the 1959 symposium on Project Plowshare and an American Meteorological Society conference,[13] and unsuccessfully sought its inclusion in the International Geophysical Year.

    More to the point: why can’t this be posted in the politics comm? Because it violates their rules.

    Because the news is dead and we don’t know what to do about it.

      Oh, may I interest you in, perhaps, a little slice, a tiny morsel, un amous bouch so wafer thin it could not exist in any moment but this, a well-earned first course: anarchy! 🤷🏼‍♂️

      no idea where the cartoon revolutionary came from
