The people of the United States of Gotham anxiously watched their TVs, the loud shriek of the emergency address system made them rapt in attention, unsure of what was taking place. The president was sitting in the oval office, like he had in many other prepared addresses, but this time was different. His face was smudged with unsettling white makeup, and his name placard had been hastily defaced with red graffito to read "Joe-ker".

"People of Gotham," The changed president began, "I have had the DOE fabricate 900 Neutron bombs, and scattered them in populated areas throughout the country. They are linked together by satellite, and if one loses signal or is otherwise disturbed, it will send signals to all of them to detonate. They will also detonate regardless of any action in 131 days, unless the disarm code, which only I know, is provided. there is also a duress code, which if entered, will immediately cause them to detonate. Don't even try to torture me, Jack; you can't know if the code I provide will be the actual disarm code."

What choice did the people have? some still refused to be blackmailed and stayed home. some stood strong and voted for Trump, who had begun wearing a Bane mask and making threats of his own, though all knew were impotent. But enough people were cowed, looking out for their families and loved ones, they dutifully went to ballot boxes and elected Biden in a landslide. on the night of November 8th, The house speaker meets with him privately, begging him to put his code in now that he's won. As his physician swaps out the IV bag of advanced dementia medication, Biden turns to Rep. Johnson and asks "What bombs?"

I've seen projects that count the confirmed KIA by name from social media commemorations,. and they arrive at like Russian 72k KIA, 68k Ukranian KIA. Russia does not have a 10:1 casualty rate.

Edit: I don't know why we shouldn't accept the named KIA projects as being an effective lower-bound estimate of those killed. if we accept around 70,000 Russians have died, and assume that there are significantly more russian non-KIA casualties than KIA, then not even the Russian MOD is claiming numbers that would be 10:1. Does the Slava Rossiya crew on Hexbear think there are over 2 million Ukranian casualties? in Febuary, Russia said 444,000 Ukranians killed and wounded.

as I was making some severely socially maladapted memes, I think I discovered this AI has been basically lobotomized on a handful of topics:

edit: sorta based doe:

Also it's immoral to ever vote for the candidates who support ranked choice voting.

Yeah, but the boomers were worse than the generations before and after them, and the contention between the cinquedea generation and the Maximilian generation for wearing ruffs with to many folds doesn't compare.

is the center of the bridge the territory of Hungary or Yemen? must've been some wacky surveying mishap to lead to that.

I think the former president was corrupt, but the allegations against Hue, who some people were predicting was next in line, are so non-specific, it seems like political maneuvering. I read analysis that Hue would've lead a more pro-china, Dengism adjacent government had he been voted in.

What's happening in Vietnam? They forced out voung dinh hue, and now the president is a gold steak eating cop. Seems like the wrong direction.

Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work

I think I know enough about gays to say "Ranch water and Shut up kiss me", would this trick them into voting for me?

Liberals will scream "Confirmation bias!" at us, because they can't accept that communists have the superpowers of remote viewing and seeing the future since we all knew this was happening in 2020-21

2 questions:

are these numbers in a bank account, or are they actually physical assets that Ukraine has to liquidate, find a buyer for, fire the board of directors and appoint a new board to be brought in under police escort if the old team isn't cooperative

second, Will the value of these assets be subtracted from the value of reparations, restitution, and legal judgements against the Russian Federation which Russia must pay to Ukraine after the war?

exactly. if they want a website just for liberals, then Hexbear was right there!

when a couple of ruffians snatched away my lemonade proceeds, I decided to go on the dick cavett show and do a little Peanut jig. Yes, that's what you need is a 👐peanut👐 jig of your own. Yes, a 👐peanut👐 jig of your own yes

"He maybe wasn't ran over by a tank, but lets not discount the possibility that we actually universe shifted, and we're originally from a timeline where I was always correct. look up the Mandela effect."

the majority of an S400 system was recently destroyed by atacms. whatever the state of GPS jamming, it seems like HIMARS are still working effectively. ATACMS also have inertial guidance, so even if they lose GPS signal half way to the target, as long as it's stationary, it should still be accurate enough.

Keet's Meet & Greet (Formerly Sloan's)

if anyone wondered How America could justify the position the ICJ has no authority to make arrest warrants for Netanyahu, but does have the authority to make arrest warrants for Putin, they found a way. it's because evil, authoritarian countries like Russia will never punish their criminal president on their own, but Israel totally could try and sentence Netanyahu for war crimes. eventually. just give them time.

"The ICC was established by its state parties as a court of limited jurisdiction. Those limits are rooted in principles of complementarity, which do not appear to have been applied here amid the Prosecutor’s rush to seek these arrest warrants rather than allowing the Israeli legal system a full and timely opportunity to proceed. In other situations, the Prosecutor deferred to national investigations and worked with states to allow them time to investigate. The Prosecutor did not afford the same opportunity to Israel, which has ongoing investigations into allegations against its personnel."

very funny referring to the prime minister as just "personnel". and "no, he's of course not outside the law, can't you see he's already so well known for corruption that he's being investigated for bribery!" and "clearly there is no chance of anyone in his cabinet being indicted for war crimes, but isn't the theoretical possibility of him being indicted for political corruption years from now basically the same?"

it's also witcher 3's birthday today.
