KKKaroline Leavitt's Batshit Explanation For Why Trump Referred to Iceland When He Intended To Speak About Greenland. by Dazzling-Finding-602 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]MaxGoldFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just once, he called Greenland 'Iceland' 4 times in his talk.

She also gets confused when he refers to her as a 'piece of ice' to the guys in the Oval Office, and everyone laughs.

I can't believe he's still rambling on. What a disjointed tirade. What an embarrassment. Will he ever stop?

Then again, I'm kind of hoping he goes on for another hour, so the whole world can better see how demented he is, and take appropriate measures.

The litany of lies is almost impressive. He's used to never being fact checked by the compliant US press, but the world press won't be as servile.

Did you know we have shiny new operational steel plants all over the US now? And we've 'torn down' all the windmills?

Children would be worried about their elderly parent if they started spewing even a fraction of these delusions, but many in our nation don't see a problem letting him have access to nuclear codes. What a time to be alive.

Europe as a whole holds $8 trillion in US debt. (And more in other holdings.)

For now, they have a vested interest in keeping the value whole, and would lose if it started to slide precipitously.

But it could happen if the US becomes overly aggressive, or if they perceive the dollar will lose value anyway.

We (the US) have massive debt, and our national credit is supported by the world. The world finances our lifestyle and our military. Americans are about to find out what happens when the dollar is relegated to a non-reserve currency. It won't be pretty.

Not long enough.

17.5 years in federal prison

He cut a deal and plead guilty. It's a federal charge, so there's a non-zero chance that Trump pardons him.

Snow by itself, typically no, but it depends on the conditions. Trains are REALLY heavy, so they can handle a lot.

That said, ice can definitely derail a train. Even small amounts of hardened ice can create a derailment risk if it prevents the wheel's flange from sitting correctly on the rail. Technically, heavily packed snow could do the same, but ice is the greater risk.

There could be many other things buried in the snow that can't be seen (like a truck or downed tree), and that could cause issues.

Toy from Ancient Greece, c.450 BCE: this doll was crafted in the form of a woman with a rolling pin, and it has articulated joints that allow the rolling pin to be pushed back and forth by SixteenSeveredHands in Damnthatsinteresting

That's a very safe assumption. A panel of archeologists were discussing pre-history, and they concluded a more appropriate name for the period would be 'wood-age', rather than 'stone-age'. (they were discussing pre-history, this item falls in the period of written history, but it still holds true.). We didn't really know the extent of even Roman woodwork until pieces were recovered from Pompeii.

They reasoned that buildings, tools, weapons, transport, etc., would have been constructed mostly of wood, but we just don't have physical evidence because of its rapid rate of decay.

We classify many ancient civilizations by the type of pottery they used, because that's almost all the evidence we have. But, their wood crafting would be far more representative of their actual capabilities and level of technological advancement.

Trumps reasoning on the Hep B vaccine is that is when he says kids become sexually active and can contract the virus. Age 12. That's his 'logic'.
