    Eww.

    I had to check and this dipshit is still alive.

    Can we not have anything nice around here?

      As funny as I find that article to be. The problem is that satire is reality most of the time these days. Even an idea as obviously dumb as this could actually be coming out of the white house.

    I’ve stopped asking if people are this stupid, because yes, they are.

    But, I think this is more about sowing fear, than a serious suggestion.

    I keep trying to persuade myself, in spite of clear evidence to the contrary, that people are not this stupid. But, it doesn’t work.

      Oh man… I hate to blow your bubble, but that guy is just repeating something that was under serious consideration about 50 years ago.

      He probably just remembers the proposals, and not the problems people found in it.

    Well, I guess if negotiating in good faith with the people who neighbor it is off the table, then… Nope that’s still fucking idiotic.

    Now, I know what the woke deep state is going to say, and I want to save you the trouble of listening to them.

    “The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty?” Never ratified it. Even if we did, who cares. Next.

    “The environmental impact?” Mr. Secretary, Iranian oil is leaking everywhere. Tankers are on fire near Fujairah. This approach is constructive destruction.

    “Radiation?” Radiation is the most overblown left-wing conspiracy since climate change. The Plowshare’s 1962 underground Sedan test fallout reached South Dakota in 1962 and South Dakota is fine. Went for Trump by thirty points. Plus, the residual glow keeps Iran from trying anything funny near the new channel.

    The views expressed above do not necessarily represent those of anyone with brain cells.

    This is hilarious. Heh.

    I don’t buy Gingrich’s earnesty. He must be trolling too, like the article explicitly was. Most Republicans are doing it on Twitter now, and that would fit Gingrich’s history, too.

    …And it kinda worked. It looks like Lemmy swallowed the hook here, and I’m sure Twitter did too.
