Deploy the mounties! Elbows up! Horses too!

They do, they just call them display panels.

I would say that would be an insult to House Harkonnen, but then I considered that Drumph might actually be the ancestor of one of those evil fucks.

Get commercial hardware. It’s more expensive new, but dirt cheap used, and they don’t include any of the spy equipment.

They haven’t done anything to mail in voting. I get my ballot. The states control elections, not the federal government.

No. I haven’t had a TV since around 2000. I use monitors, and always have an extra laying around if needed.

They closed down everything.

We did finish the job. At least as much as Germany was denazified.

The Zionist / Fascist method with the rpg is holding the rest of us hostage when we outnumber them by almost 10,000,000:1 worldwide. They just have always had control of the narrative. We have had the tools to counter the narrative for a mere couple decades. Stay strong comrades. The system is eating itself.

I’m afraid that’s the point. The billionaire class wants to deploy Operation Sundial. We didn’t build a single 10 Gigaton weapon that would guarantee that no humans could survive, the politicians were too scared to do that. We built 30,000 one megaton weapons that still might do that, but maybe the people in bunkers can survive.

Congratulations Bonnie! I was worried.

Pyro didn’t do as well as Bonnie. Pyro succumbed to lymphoma on Wed the 7th. She went downhill that morning, we got a confirmation of lymphoma rather than Addison’s disease, and she crossed the rainbow bridge within hours, smelling me the entire time. She got at least 5/8 good years, and one last night of cuddling me closer than she ever had. She laid on my face rather than my armpit.

Hydro mourned for about 5 minutes. I’m probably going to miss Pyro, and eventually Hydro, forever.

That’s a good way to have a shooting nuclear war. You launch at everyone as policy, so no one is ever stupid enough to use them. Once one is used again, it will trigger all of them, all at once. If you only attack the aggressors, their allies will nuke you in response, and so on. It just causes the same thing.

“A strange game, the only winning move is not to play.”

They only have a few hundred, and the entire point of them is if anyone uses one you launch everything, because there isn’t going to be another chance. Especially since Russia, the US, and China have thousands and will probably be launching the same time France does. Defensive strikes in nuclear warfare are military speak oxymorons. That’s the entire point of MAD. France just made sure that they had a stockpile to point at the bigger powers because of previous wars in Europe getting them involved whether they wanted to or not.

I can’t find the articles that I read about this, but if you look up their nuclear policies, they won’t use in first strike scenarios, but the will use for defensive strikes, which amounts to exactly what I said. In defensive scenarios, someone else already used them, so may as well unload your entire stockpile. Everyone else is going to unload theirs.

Just for reference the US, Russia, and China have similar contingencies. Once Israel or anyone launches a nuke or uses a bomb in very short order all the stockpiles get emptied. France just was pretty blatant about it in the '70s.

Israel doesn’t have the capability to deliver. That’s about as useful as saying North Korea will nuke everyone. They literally can’t.

France adopted the policies I listed, with some small nuance in the 1970s and haven’t changed their stance.

Officially Israel “doesn’t have nukes,” unofficially they have very few that could be used in short order before they are nuked. They don’t have the capability to nuke more than a few countries in the Middle East

\7. France nukes everyone. (That’s their policy, anyone uses nukes, they launch everything they have against all nuclear powers, which isn’t a lot, but that’s a lot of major cities gone.)

Our fire season is typically during the winter cool autumn, and early spring overcast season. At least in SoCal

Krusty Gnome needs to be dealt with like the rabid dog she is.

I know the meme. The elves are probably responsible for half of what’s in the Gondor Conventions.
