And people ask me why I choose to live way up here in the wilderness.Here's what the electoral map would look like if only people who weren't burnt to a crisp in the nuclear holocaust voted. pic.twitter.com/MsrkuOjZWi

Because civilization is apparently trying to kill itself, that's why.
Personally, I wouldn't want to survive in a nuclear holocaust. I just hope it would be so fast that I wouldnt know what hit me.
ReplyDeleteYou can remove Alaska from the map. It was the second to be taken out at the beginning of WW3 after tracking satellites were wiped out.
ReplyDeleteWait, we had a third world war?
DeleteHow did I miss that?
I was being hypothetical, like Silver. Fine then, Alaska survives but only you and Palin are there hunting the last remaining moose. Who lives? 😀
DeleteHawaii and Alaska both have lots of strategic military bases that would be taken out, and a nuclear attack might set off the Yellowstone supervolcano so we're probably all screwed.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Trump and his band of merry earth destroyers in Washington DC would likely be taken out first, so there's that.
there is always that. the silver, sorry, gold lining.
DeleteAlso too the Yellowstone Supervolcano might beat everyone to the punch and do the job before Putin has a chance to ;-)
DeleteAK has several important military targets. It's wishful thinking to expect they would be overlooked.
ReplyDeleteI knew somebody would bring this up.
DeleteThat is true, however the state is so incredibly vast that in many places even if all of the bases were hit by nuclear weapons they would only know about it if it were broadcast on the news.
You would figure it out when the wind picked up .
DeleteI think Russia would drop more than one huge bomb on Alaska - due to its size. It will effect Canada and the lower USA - have no doubt about it.
DeleteWWIII would be in mass execution!
" The Nebraska legislature is 3 members short of being controlled by the GOP. If it goes to the Republicans, the party will hold two-thirds of state legislatures and be able to pass a Constitutional Amendment to keep Trump in power as long as they would like."

I read that yesterday and thought WE ARE SCR*WED!!!
DeleteThe man is 70 years old and obviously in poor physical condition despite what his crazy doctor might claim. He apparently does not exercise regularly and is know for having an extremely unhealthy diet.
DeleteSeeing what the stress of the White House has done to even the youngest and healthiest of our presidents, do you really think we have to worry about him living another 16 years?
This election certainly makes the case for Presidential candidates being given a mandatory complete physical and mental examination by an unbiased medical professional (perhaps from Walter Reed?) prior to the election.
Someone pointed out in a different article on this that it takes 2/3 of the legislatures to propose a repeal or passage of an amendment, but it takes 3/4 of the legislatures to approve the proposal.
DeleteTrump will either die a natural death soon, be impeached or assassinated. I, in no way, see him completing four years in the office of potus.
DeleteIf they change anything, it will be the native birth requirement for president. So Schwarzenegger can run.

ReplyDeleteNuclear winter spares no locale on the planet. You do have more experience with ice and snow and dark days though. Maybe that will help. Polar bears rejoice. Igloos and ice fishing back in vogue. The natives can provide great knowledge on how to survive.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling so bad right now that I may have to watch On The Beach to cheer myself up.
DeleteLet p. PERVE spew out his threats. The
ReplyDeleteassassins from all over are circling
the Perv , just waiting for the right moment.
And to think, Secret Service protectors
might have to take a bullet for that creep!
Fat Donald is grooming Ivanka to be his successor - the first woman president. He won't push the red button (first) because he wants his beloved to have this gift. He will bow out in 4 years if that is likely. Sick fuck.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I don't see Trump being in office for four years let alone eight! And, I assuredly don't see another Trump being POTUS.
DeleteHe's going to totally obliterate his name and that of his offspring. Can hardly wait to see it occur!
Actually - I think Alaska is a prime target. A nuke here would have a relatively low casualty rate but would create a lot of psychological damage in the lower 48. At the same time, it would damage what some people perceive as wilderness and take out what some people perceive to be a significant source of energy.
ReplyDelete"some people perceive to be a significant source of energy." + just about every commodity. $$$now this

Even if Russian used a nuclear bomb on Alaska, it would have an effect on Canada and the lower 48!
DeletePlus, you can be sure that the US would retaliate quickly and we would be in the midst of WWIII.
Fuck Republicans (Trump most especially) and Russia (specifically Putin!)!
Not a hint of 'peaceful' actions amongst the assholes! We are going to so miss President Obama!

ReplyDeletenewt gingRICH!
I love coming home to Alaska knowing that I'm leaving all the crowds behind. After living with so much space and so few people I personally could never go back to living in a more populous place.
ReplyDeleteI guess we'll revert to Russia again after Putin destroys the lower 48, better get busy with Rosetta Stone because my Russian is a little rusty ;-)
No, they won't.
ReplyDeleteWyoming is where the silos are. That's a major target.
So you've got Hawaii and Alaska left. Hawaii - 4 and Alaska - 3.
Democrats win.
I really hope the Obamas eventually retire there. Preferably before Trump nukes us all.
But I imagine no place on earth will be safe from the fallout. Even the polar bears up north and the penguins in Antarctica are going to die. Everything is going to die. Hopefully a few will hang on long enough to scream "TOLD YOU SO" at the remaining Deplorables.
