Read something where president said he will use nukes to blow up hurricanes hitting the US


Would be awesome if nukes failed to break it up and the hurricane distributed a megaload of radioactive fallout in its track across the south eastern US.

Think:

Luckily for everyone he's curing childhood cancer and ending aids.

The fact is he's said so much mind-numbingly stupid shite, anything that anyone can come up with seems plausible. And I have no doubt this was a discussion he had with his advisors.

I seriously doubt the president actually stated this since taking office or even becoming a candidate. I could imagine a teenager getting baked for the first time coming up with this and then quickly realizing it probably would not have the intended effect.

It would just make it a radioactive hurricane.

If noting that Trump says stupid shite makes me upset, then sure, I guess I'm upset

Nukes won’t dent a hurricane but propane canister bombs will help calm sharknados.

Why doesn’t he just use Bush’s hurricane machine to make a hurricane to fight the other hurricanes?

Axios is probably softer on Trump than the huge majority of MSM.

That said, I do doubt the sincerity of this story and the way MSM treat off the cuff/off the wall shite Trump says like he's focusing on it as a serious policy proposal

I wouldn’t bet your Starbucks loyalty card that he actually said it, but let’s assume he did.

How is a theory that’s been bandied about by scientists since the 50’s more “mind numbingly stupid” than banning air travel and cow farts to stop the earth from melting?

There’s probably one brewing off the coast of Africa. Let’s try it.

Props on realizing this is a slight twist on the Sharknado plot and remembering the actual Sharknado plot.

It was actually captured in the meeting minutes that it was said.

And there's a reason it was never tested. It was ridiculous and a terrible idea in the 50s, which was clear then, and it's a stupid, borderline laughable idea to suggest with a straight face today.

As for the banning air travel (not sure who said that or when) and cow farts...I do believe there is actual science behind what they produce and the potential impact of them. But again, I'd like to see the context or who made the supposed statements.

(NOTE: I am not in favor of banning air travel or cows, which are delicious. Though I think that processes or technology that reduce their impact should be celebrated)
