If you get 15 minutes' warning that hundreds of nuclear missiles are headed toward the US, you could use that time to try getting closer to the blast zone in the hope that you'll be one of the lucky ones vaporized instantly, rather than spend a couple days hanging on before dying of your appalling radiation burns.

Semi-related: I recently watched the Tom Cruise "War of the Worlds" remake, and figure it was intended as a moment of comic relief in the scene where, after however-many American cities had been already destroyed by the tripods, Cruise and his two kids are driving somewhere through the backwoods regions of upstate New York, and the car radio played an EBS test beep, followed by the standard "If this had been an actual emergency..." script.

Ah, so it's part of T's plan to bring back the 90s. I understand now.

U.S. not invited to Canada's save-the-WTO summit of 13 'like-minded' countries
OTTAWA — Canada has not included the United States in an upcoming meeting aimed at saving the international trading system because it doesn’t share the views of the 13 invited countries, says the new Canadian trade minister.
Canada will host senior ministers from 13 “like-minded” countries for a two-day discussion in Ottawa later this month to brainstorm ways to reform the World Trade Organization, said Jim Carr, Canada’s newly appointed international trade diversification minister.
Carr said the group of countries he’s convened ultimately wants to persuade Washington of the continued usefulness of the WTO, but for now the best way forward is without the U.S. in the room.

Whoever is playing with the simulator is really drunk. How did the trade of Taylor Swift to the Ds for Kanye to the Rs get approved by the commish?

I assume that Republicans are saying that entertainers need to stay out of politics and leave it to professional politicians...like the host of Celebrity Apprentice.

Re: Orange is the new President
Here's an interesting comparison of presidential popularity ratings (scroll down to "How Trump compares to past presidents"):
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/tr ... l-ratings/
Plenty of presidents have been almost as unpopular as Trump at various points (Reagan, Carter, and Clinton all had brief periods of being less popular than Trump on the corresponding day), but nobody else has spent their entire first 630 days underwater.

I've been following that. The most telling option is the 'net approval' button. There is a ~40% core that he simply cannot alienate.JD wrote: ↑11 Oct 2018, 08:44Here's an interesting comparison of presidential popularity ratings (scroll down to "How Trump compares to past presidents"):

BTW, I would like to correct myself on something: he has not spent the entire 630 days underwater; there was a period of almost two weeks at the beginning when he had a positive net approval rating.

I have absolute faith in the Democrats to put forward someone equally unpopular.

The 40% is why I think we should repeal the Treat of Paris. Just tell Trump that it was a no-good, very unfair, terrible deal negotiated by crooked Ben Franklin (who cheated on his wife and drank more than Brett Kavanaugh!) and he'll tear the whole thing up. And the 40% will cheer.
I don't know whether we'll wind up being ruled by Justin Trudeau, Theresa May, or whoever's in charge of Bermuda, but I'm pretty sure that none of them would accidentally start a nuclear war via Twitter.

Re: Orange is the new President
Technically, it looks like that would be Queen Elizabeth, which would have a certain poetic closure to it. But the head of government would be E. David Burt. I like that there's a head of government out there whose wikipedia entry basically just says "He got degrees in finance, information systems, and information systems development, and he's the premier, and that's about all I have to say about that."
