How Bad Can I Be?

Oh god they are trying to do Plowshare 2.0.

I thought this motherfucker was dead.

It's gotta be lead.... Right? Right?!

What a goddamned fucking idiot.

How much you wanna bet he called Trump and personally made this fucking deranged suggestion to him?

Is newt Gingrich even still alive

Edit: holy shit he actually tweeted that. It was so outlandish I just assumed it was fake.

"Yes, we're irradiated now, but gas is under $3/gal."

It's not. This has been proposed multiple times throughout history. The U.S. program, named Project Plowshare, was active from the late 1950s to the 1970s and explored various peaceful applications for nuclear explosives. It was built on ideas from older, British and German plans. The Russians also had their own plans. This is not a new idea.

Sounds increadibly expensive.

For those who don't know about it, Project Plowshare was a cold war project where the US investigating the use of nuclear weapons for geo engineering projects.

Here is a WTYP Podcast episode about it:

There is a price between $10m/kg and $100m/kg that Iranians sell enriched uranium to US to satisfy US denuclearization aims, and Iran gets its reparations/reconstruction concession, and full trade access to the world. Of course Bibi will keep saying they are 2 weeks away from a weapon, but you have to fuck bibi.

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.

Is this... actually Newt? Honestly can't tell would appreciate clarification

Has he ever looked at a map? The only way I could see this happening is by going through the most populated parts of UAE.

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.

Omg, I absolutely love the idea of fuel exhaust that’s even more radioactive than it already is. I just love it so much I could die.
