here's something interesting - HG Wells predicted atomic bombs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Set_Free

2018-08-25 20:54:24 UTC  

@What Would Jack Conte Do? Atomic bombs were a known concept tho no?

2018-08-25 20:54:37 UTC  

not that i know of

2018-08-25 20:54:39 UTC  

not in the 1910s

2018-08-25 20:54:50 UTC  

but they knew about radioactivity

Not much of a stretch to imagine weapons would become more powerful

2018-08-25 20:55:21 UTC  

hindsight is 20/20 tho

2018-08-25 20:55:34 UTC  

if you have 20/20, you can't imagine your vision being worse

2018-08-25 20:55:36 UTC  

They consist of "lumps of pure Carolinum" that induce "a blazing continual explosion" whose half-life is seventeen days, so that it is "never entirely exhausted," so that "to this day the battle-fields and bomb fields of that frantic time in human history are sprinkled with radiant matter, and so centres of inconvenient rays."

2018-08-25 20:55:52 UTC  

That does not sound like he predicted it

2018-08-25 20:55:55 UTC  

true

2018-08-25 20:56:02 UTC  

but, he predicted the consequence

2018-08-25 20:56:11 UTC  

which was that war became inconvenient

2018-08-25 20:56:17 UTC  

due to nuclear weapons

2018-08-25 20:56:47 UTC  

although there were people at the time that thought war would be inconvenient due to industrialization

2018-08-25 20:56:56 UTC  

or chemical weapons or what have you

2018-08-25 20:57:01 UTC  

ah well

2018-08-25 20:57:03 UTC  

lol

2018-08-25 20:57:40 UTC  

i guess his prediction was well off

2018-08-25 20:57:55 UTC  

like he said that there were 'battlefields' when air power makes it possible to wage war nearly anywhere

2018-08-25 20:58:09 UTC  

and not that MAD is what ensures peace

2018-08-25 21:02:25 UTC  

Heinlein predicted atomic bombs before the Manhattan project was even a thing

Look at this stupid article.

"Why don't Trump supporters get off the Trump train?"

"Because the rest of the country wants to get women equal footing in society. And these people hate it, which also makes them fascist."

2018-08-26 00:09:32 UTC  

last time I did see, people love winning and the Trunp train is currently winning a lot all over the place. and if you ask someone if they want to trade the money and jobs they are getting atm for more taxes and regulations, there is a good change they give you the finger

"On their face, the two stories have little in common. Fox is simply covering the Iowa murder because it distracts attention from a revelation that makes Trump look bad. "

No they are covering it because it is actual news. The Cohen Trial is another nothingburger, otherwise Muller wouldn't have handed him off to a lower prosicuter. The 'admission' is already suspect, because it was part of plea deal, and probably saved him 3 to 5 years in prison. So it was made under 'duress', and after many times he said he wasn't told to do it by Trump. Add to the fact, it technically doesn't break the law. Least not on Trumps end.

"Trump supporters appear largely unfazed by the mounting evidence that Trump is the least ethical president in modern American history. "
Hmm...Did they forget Nixon, Clinton?

2018-08-26 00:26:03 UTC  

the shit both Clintonts did to, makes bond villans look like small time streat thugs

2018-08-26 00:26:26 UTC  

And Nixon wasnt much better. Tbh

2018-08-26 00:26:54 UTC  

Just bill and nixon well overshadow what has so far surfaced

2018-08-26 00:27:10 UTC  

Oh add obama too

2018-08-26 00:27:25 UTC  

Since he basically copied nixon but turned it up to 11

2018-08-26 00:27:51 UTC  

I want the PR guy to obama as he did do wonders for his image

2018-08-26 00:28:23 UTC  

Same

2018-08-26 00:28:55 UTC  

you can be literal hittler and that PR guy makes you look like a sain of saints

2018-08-26 00:28:55 UTC  

Between whoever did his pr and his media spokesman.

2018-08-26 00:31:21 UTC  

He was great until a couple decades ago.

2018-08-26 00:31:31 UTC  

Maybe the brain cancer had an effect
