EMPs are a pet peeve of mine, if you can't tell.

One to three nukes in high orbit could theoretically wipe out the entire US electrical grid (permanently) so you don't really need something this complex for that large of an effect.

Wrong.

Just. Fucking. Wrong. 

Everyone should stop it with this goddamn EMP bullshit fearmongering. This is not how EMPs work. The electrical grid would not respond that way (just like it didn't respond that way during Starfish Prime). 

I call upon Wade to put the next person that mentions EMPs in line for the 

EDIT:

Also, if anyone detonates a nuclear fucking warhead--let alone THREE--in the atmosphere above a country, we will all have much bigger problems than electrical issues. That is to say, about 5 minutes before the detonations, we will have launched a retaliatory response in the direction of the incoming missiles. And then everyone is fucked.

Could something like this cripple US infrastructure, transportation, and communication in the event of a (cyber) war?

They wouldn't need something like this to cripple us.

I guess today was "International Smack Around the GRU Day".

Maybe the GRU shouldn't fucking suck at their job so much. 

After seeing some discussion on twitter, I take back what I said about "where was this in 2016."

Apparently the reporting started then and it straight up took three people 2 years to track everything down and compile it. 

Here's my question though. 

Where the FUCK was this article in early 2016?

Here's another favorite:

The sale, completed in 2004, brought him his biggest payday ever from his father: His cut was $177.3 million, or $236.2 million in today’s dollars. But as it turned out, banks at the time valued the empire at hundreds of millions more than the sale price. Donald Trump, master dealmaker, had sold low.

Bet you looked more like Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park

well, I'm pretty skinny. So I actually looked like neither. JDB was in my head when I started though. 

I, too, have received messages from the FBI regarding friends' background checks. 

It was a real dude, in my case. They knew my middle name too and asked me to confirm it. They wanted to meet for the interview in my apartment. I declined and had them meet me at a coffee shop in town. I wore a garish hawaiian shirt. I felt like Joe Don Baker in GoldenEye.

So if I was logged out this morning, does that mean I was compromised?

Or does it mean that Facebook automatically logged everyone out for them to stave off any issues??

I logged back in and changed my PW. 

Lindsey fucking Graham, ladies and gentlemen. 

That photo says nothing.

A liberal that pays lip service to minorities and doesn't actually do anything?

Where is my fainting couch? I can feel the vapours coming on. 

Yeah, he's totally voting to confirm. 

I'm more surprised that Jay Sekulow has a radio show.

Without Remorse (the novel) is set during the Vietnam War. It's the "origin story" of John Kelly/John Clark.

How kind will the reviews be to a movie that repeatedly introduces hookers, only to brutally murder them one by one?

I feel this way all the time, but death is too good for Donald Trump, especially from something like a stroke or heart attack.

 

I've said this repeatedly, I want him winning the Presidency to be the thing that ruins him. I want all his children to end up broke and destitute after his presidency taints the Trump name forever, I want them to die before him. I want him to be in the same room when his children die in front of him. I want him to end up like Michael Corleone at the end of that fan fiction movie Godfather 3, where Michael is sitting alone with nothing but a dog for company, knowing everyone around him suffered for his crimes.

 

Or, someone could just tell John Hinkley that Jodie Foster is ready to be impressed again.

Jesus, dude. Chill. 

More pushback, this time from an NPR Reporter.

He sure is! I was skeptical the moment I saw the headline and the byline. 

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump him-fucking-self called Schmidt up and planted this one.

I remember a time when a topic like this would receive multiple pages of discussion here and mostly dominate the news. It's depressing that everyone is so used to these stories now, it's barely a blip in the day. Even the forced gun debates seem forced.

We've got to top 10 now for it to really be news. Or have it be some out of the ordinary target (read: political, vulnerable population). And then we really only try to discuss it to guess why they did it. 

Also, this fucking moron:

Sooooo the president of some conservative group basically created a thread on twitter with maps and pictures to say it was actually Kavanaugh's friend that tried to rape her and shes just confused...

 

 

And this was retweeted by both Jake Tapper and Maggie Haberman as a "wow this is irresponsible" before deleting their own tweets. They followed up with "it's irresponsible to do this, which is why I won't amplify it."

Please god, let Trump nationalize the steel industry
