They don’t have the authority under the current government.

A government is just a series of rules enforced by people who follow those rules. If enough people decide to ignore the rules, they can do whatever they want.

The last defense for those rules is the military, but trump wants to fire a ton of generals and appoint his own people, who won’t bat at an eye at blatant constitutional violations.

Give it a few months and the DOGE duo will probably have significant sway over budgets, regardless of how much authority they have on paper.

What’s the name of the cow you get your raw milk from?

Do you get a veterinary report about her with every bottle of milk?

Oh, see, it’s called having fun.

Hope this helps.

That’s an interesting question as to whether the infinity gauntlet rounds down.

Like, if there were 3 survivors of a species and thanos snapped the universe, does the gauntlet round up to 2 survivors, or down to one?

Dirty bomb will still render half a city uninhabitable for generations.

And, there is a decent chance the Russians have been recycling spent bomb cores for their current bombs. Just because a core loses its potency, doesn’t mean you can’t refine it again and mix it with other refined cores for a brand new bomb.

Is true that the tritium for hydrogen bombs would be basically impossible for a non nuclear nation to get, but conventional fission bombs are readily recycliable.

The soviets collapsed and it only gave the North Koreans access to ICBM capable rocket engines a few decades early. I’m sure nothing bad will happen again this time.

Ah, who am I kidding, some general will probably sell a nuke to the saudis and we’ll all die the next time there’s an oil fiasco.

I was wondering how the scientists went from proposing a planet that was 1.5 to 2 times the size of earth, to proposing it being 5-10 times the size of earth.

The old money guy who took home a road kill bear for food, and contracted a brain eating parasite, is now running the food and drug administration.

We’re all gonna die from parasites, aren’t we. The brain worm was just playing dead and wants to infect us all.

Jim bob can’t, because they’ll kill him easily.

Now if there’s thousands of Jim bobs, all moving around, things get tricky. Now you need people on the ground looking for these people.

We spent 20 years in the Middle East fighting this exact kind of war, and guess who still exists? The fucking terrorists.

You Should Really Considering Explaining Acronyms Before Posting, obviously.

A remote command from some random phone to reboot does sound like the a wonderful vector for malware, though
