Not only doesn't understand what a tariff is, he thinks it's some magic word to make anything change and him get credit for it.

If he didn't have full blown dementia I'd say he's an idiot. The ones around him going along with it, they ARE idiots.

I don't know, man. Can't be anything you did, right?

That's not what happened. He went fast enough to go back in time. The Earth rotated backwards because time was going backwards for him. And importantly, unlike so many time travel stories where the person goes to exactly when the event happens, he went back further, so he had time to stop both missiles. Cause he's super smart.

Don't feel bad, it was a very subtle jab. The best part was it was at the end of a Fox News interview as they cut away, so it was what I liked to call a sarcasm grenade. Pull the pin, let it sit for a minute. Boom.

That's a hell of a reduction.

"Stop shooting ourselves in the feet!"

So many decisions being made are very isolationist, and that never works well for the one shutting everyone else out. But who looks at history, right?

The math and physics problems of SDI (Reagan's Star Wars) hasn't changed. I guess this is yet another lesson of history we've forgotten, even though so many in the political realm were around then.

Tesla has and is doing exactly what Musk said the goal was for Tesla, long ago. To spur EV sales for other competitors, since Tesla could never meet a full market demand. Congrats Elon, you not only did that, you've backed away to give everyone a bigger share of the market. You genius.

Oh, what? You didn't mean to do this? Are those tears? Be a big boy and suck it up.

Mass bleaching has been monitored throughout the Great Barrier Reef since the 80s. There was certainly bleaching but not at the level seen in the years listed, and look how that frequency changed. I doubt it's because we got better at documenting bleaching effects. The important thing is that bleaching to some degree is normal, but typically the population would have time to recover before the next event, and they would be localized. Large scale and every year doesn't allow recovery.

The max thresholds don't mean it's fine if it's lower, just that at some point it becomes difficult to both detect the presence of things and there's a limit on how much can be prevented. If we were progressing in time correctly we should be lowering these maximum levels both in the ability of detection and in the beginning sources. Especially in cases like this where either the metals are being added or are part of specific ingredients that would cost more to process and remove the metals.

And wow, they said Washington State was lower than the FDA, but that's a magnitude less! Good job, Washington!

Monty Python makes more sense than reality. I wish a moose would bite Trump.

War, cold war, or trade war? Maybe a mix, like trade war (since that seems to be sticking around) and a proxy war that the US is using to keep the war supply industry rolling (since he had broken all other industries).

Don't forget plenty of other pandemic potentials, especially since the US officially doesn't recognize any problems anymore like climate or pollution or science.
