Always liked Bill. Interesting take he has. Seems to be putting off the defeat vibe already.
He's a bit of a pessimist, really nobody really knows what will happen on election day, I think it could go either way, it depends on unlikely voters and turnout is historic for early voting again. We will soon see if it's one step forward or two back for America, it's kinda like the national IQ test.

I found it interesting that he admits that nobody cares now, or after... even the Democrats. Has everybody just given up? Economically, its not been the best 2 years, lots of International tension so yeah, there may be a bigger Republican turnout. But, still could be anybody's game.

I don't think enough attention has been paid to the reaction women and woman's groups have to the reversal of Roe v Wade. I believe that a lot of women only voted red last time because that's the way their menfolk voted but this time a lot are gonna say fug this BS and go blue.

Michael Moore was dead right about tRump in 2016 and he's calling for a blue wave for the mid-terms.

Lots of reports already about the big increase in women early voters so it could be interesting on the big day.

You go girl!

Im not sure what that had to do with my post.
isn't every aircraft nuclear capable? Even the ancient ones like B52's. Im sure a Biplane or a Stuka could drop nuclear bombs if someone wanted to.
Clickbait headline.

so many people are so full of shit...the laws of the United States of America Guarantee at least the chance to apply for freedom, no matter where or how you reach the country. nowhere does it say "through an officially recognized entry port"...

all of the hypocrites who talk about their ancestors coming on the mayflower...i guess the mayflower landed at an official port, and all the immigrants filled out all their paperwork and waited for the official ok...fucking hypocrites, hateful, scared, sad little hypocrites

No; there are hardware requirements that are not general to warplanes. The B-52 was built to be a nuclear bomber, but now is mostly used for conventional operations.
Making an aircraft nuclear-capable involves installing safing hardware, and not all airframes can support it.

this hypocritical blowhard asswipe can get fucked. if Joe Biden apologizes to fucking manchin, i'll never fucking respect him again.
instead of clinging to polluting, poisonous, dangerous coal, why doesn't fucking manchin try to move West Virginia into the present?
because his family fortune is tied to the coal industry...so fuck him and his crocodile tears for the "people of West Virginia"...

I wonder if that is still so. Modern nuclear weapons are a lot smaller per megaton yield than the two dropped on Japan. Little Boy on Hiroshima and Fat Man on Nagasaki.

Hope everyone remembered to duck and cover!

He says it in this, recorded a couple of days ago. He was right about Trump winning in 2016 when polls were giving Clinton similar odds of winning.

Yes- clickbait.
Hardware is easily replaced
America (and other countries) has been bringing in nuclear equipped ships and probably planes for ages- its nothing new. NZ ( New Zealand) still doesn't allow them i think?

Anyway as i said has nothing to do with the post i made.

Whenever i think NZ and nuclear i always have a chuckle at the fkn French sinking the Rainbow warrior..fkn idiots.

It is still so. The safing hardware is designed to make the unauthorized use of a US nuke as impossible as it can be made to be, with a single-point firing as a last resort. This asymmetrically touches off the chemical explosive, scrambling the bomb’s precise innards without a nuclear reaction of any size.

Interesting photo splice. The original shows the atoll over which that cloud took shape.
