Yes, I believe that to be the case as well. We can only hope his many assistants will honestly tell him what’s in the Executive Orders he signs; I sincerely believe a few of the original ones’ contents were not...ahem...”thoroughly conveyed”.

True, the President reads book away from his desk, too, I’d bet.

Note that his desk is essentially devoid of reading material.

Drugs are pretty; gunshots et al aren’t.

Plastic for sure - I don’t think any of the displayed demo pieces, whether printed on the expensive printers or not, were metal.

An article appeared today noting that her Pop has a button on his WH desk for exactly that; push the button and a butler appears with fave drink.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing - she can afford a wait staff, including kitchen staff, 24/7 in every house she has or buys in the future.

I visited an aerospace engineering lab at, I think, UVirginia where they had a bunch of very expensive 3D printers that could print with very fine resolution - not watchwork-fine gears, but handheld-demo gears for sure.

Track where the funding for those drones come from and send THAT to CENTCOM.

I’m fairly certain there are radiation sensors along numerous highways - I believe within the last couple months I’ve read papers about them (I did not Google for them to make this quickie reply; that might be productive).

If you notice his fingers are VERY firmly pressed on the board, probably as much to prevent panic as anything else.

Jasmine rice on the side with something stir-fried as the only course - maybe two somethings stir-fried if I get especially ambitious.

The Coast Guard would handle any single unexpected ship - and I don’t think any NK ships are regularly expected to travel to the US so I’m not TOO concerned about that (though a “mother ship” letting loose a bunch of fast vessels, again ONE with a nuke, sure could be a problem for the Coast Guard).

I think the REAL problem with NK is the fanaticism they can invoke whenever they want but NOW they can invoke it with a Very Large Bomb as well.

For some reason - I’m really not sure why - I got bummed out (after attending a couple Otakons) when I found out that a significant number of the cosplayers are pros; until then I thought it was just a whole bunch of really dedicated and creative fans.

I like the racist “White Folx” added to the title - looks to me like Mom was reminding EVERYONE that there are Blacks outside the ghetto.

It’s just a signal from one of the other civilizations “out there”.

No need to sink an aircraft carrier - just destroy their catapults. Send a cruise missile or ten carrying a large set of drones, each drone armed with, say, a 2 kg cone-shaped charge and a vision system that knows about aircraft carriers. The drones - by the hundreds, say - kamikaze into the area of the catapults,…

“My 3rd grader suggested that they make a robot to pick up toys instead...”

“More than likely, these are just actors being forced to play video games...”
