As I've stated before, the easiest and most constitutional thing that can happen is to expand the House to 1 Representative for every 200,000 residents. This would have the knock on effect of fixing one of the biggest flaws of the Electoral College, all without passing laws (such as the National Popular Vote Compact) that WILL be challenged in court, or passing a Constitutional Amendment, which is essentially impossible.

Cuomo is my favorite CNN anchor. His interviews are usually the most in-depth, and isn't afraid to interview/argue with people opposite his politics. It's not a circle jerk like all of the Fox and MSNBC shows. It's also cute how he straight flirts with Don Lemon before Don's show starts every night.

That's one of the points of the design, to leave a shitty radiation trail behind it - salt the earth.

It'd probably be pretty easy to immobilize a tank in a tightly packed city like Hong Kong. Probably wouldn't even need explosives to do it. EDIT: People would die doing it of course, but a tank is a poor weapon in that type of environment. America needs to drop 100,000 liberator pistols over Hong Kong, like we did in France during the Nazi occupation.

I'm a former Navy nuke. This stuff is interesting to me. Finding the flaws in design and operation of nuclear reactors was one of the major things we trained on throughout my career.

Not effective against neutron and gamma radiation. It would work "ok" against alpha and beta radiation though.

Was it a true nuclear detonation, or more of a "prompt criticality" event where the reactor explodes?

Every mass shooter (by FBI definition) in recent memory has purchased their gun at a gun shop, undergoing a background check. The left is currently pushing for universal background checks in response to these shootings, even though UBCs wouldn't have prevented events like El Paso, Gilroy, or Dayton. Things like raising the taxes on firearms and ammunition will have no effect on whether someone like the El Paso shooter decides to shoot up a Walmart. I doubt it would affect gang violence either, as they aren't out at the range every weekend honing their skills - It's reasonable to assume that the average gangland shooter has bought 1 box (50 rounds) of ammunition in their criminal lives before finally using their gun in a crime and killing someone. I also don't see how an increased tax will stop suicides. Do suicidal people care that a box of 9mm is now $20 instead of $10? They are just going to put it on their credit card anyways. Japan has never had a gun violence problem, but they've also never had guns. Australia's gun violence fell at the same rate as America's after they instituted a confiscation program and stricter controls, while America loosened their laws in regards to concealed carry and other laws.
