I hope somebody would stop him. Using nukes in a war is just too bonkers to contemplate. Sure they would be small, but the road to big starts with small.

Unfortunately there are more than enough idiots in the current line of command.

"They are only good for show at port visits..." This perfectly describes Trump's idea of battleships, in fact I think he's said more or less that himself. And he wants to help design them, because he's "aesthetic."

We got a nice cozy fuzzy cat bed. So naturally the cat decided to sit in...the cardboard box the bed came in.

We once got a cat bed with a soft canopy. It held up due to the stiffness of the fabric. The cat found out that it’s possible to make the canopy sag by putting her full weight on it. She never actually slept inside it, only on top of it. When she died of old age, the bed looked old and disheveled, but the inside was pristine…

I found the article quite interesting and informative. Your tl;dr does not accurately describe it.

"it would also have complete independence from oil fluctuations..." Indeed. A foreign country can't turn the sun off. And yet Trump.

(Pardon me if you live in another country. I'm starting to wish I did.)

Technically, you can turn off the sun with a nuclear winter. But in that case your main problem would be starvation anyway.

It's batshit crazy that the most powerful and influential person in the world dismisses the above (practical, clinical and irrefutable) as "a green scam" and people go along with it. We do so at our peril on so many levels.

I suppose I'm the only one who thought this article would be about moving oneself to the EU. Frankly, given the current mess in the US government (Making America Little Again), I would do that if I could swing it financially. But I'm retired, and have no kin that live or lived in the EU.

I think some responders have been misled here, falling victim to Poe's Law. Because you are joking, right? Right?
