    Just Dumb fails to acknowledge the fucked up US healthcare system is deadlier to Americans than the stupid shit that developed in the vacuum between his ears.

    Why would having it be in a vest be useful, so it’s concealed until you’re really close? Like, it’s a fucking nuke, it’s not like you need to get in particularly close for it to have the intended effect.

    Like, he’s just mashing the image of a suicide bomber in with the fear of nukes to strike as many “panic! danger! scary!” notes as possible.

    Why does anyone care what the VP thinks? His job requires him to be hosting a book club or at a state funeral or something.

    I heard they’re developing a new Shahed bomb that can blow up a church and rebuild it into a mosque.

    Normally I get angry at these pathological liars but this lie is so absurdly stupid that it’s actually funny.

    Imagine someone driving their van to a parking lot near the white house and then going “Welp, better strap on my suicide nuke that will obliterate the entire city. I see no other way of doing this.”

      I mean, people do strap on conventional explosive vests and set them off in crowds. That is not the absurd part.

        I think their point is that the van was a much easier storage vessel, with room and penetration power. Getting out of the van and walking 30 feet has miniscule change on the effects of a munition that’s blast radius and fallout are so large.

        The entire idea of a vest/backpack/portable device would be more so you can get behind enemy lines by say parachute or such. Although there is no point of a parachute as you don’t need to cushion your fall, and no need of the person if someone was already letting you leave said flying device.

        That’s because thats the only way it can work with low power explosives slapped together by some group with limited resources.
