I stand corrected. Yes, his business entities have been found guilty of tax evasion. Among other issues. Trump University - Trump was found guilty of operating a company without the require business license. Trump foundation found guilty of fraud with charity scam. He's a bit of a scumbag.Saga Lout wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 11:01 amIt may be different in the USA but in the UK avoiding tax is always legal. Evading tax is illegal. "Avoid" and "evade" have two very different legal definitions.

It is true though, you can do some bad things with Uranium.

Project Gnome vented radioactive steam over the very press gallery that was called to confirm its safety. The next blast, a 104-kiloton detonation at Yucca Flat, Nevada, displaced 12 million tons of soil and resulted in a radioactive dust cloud that rose 12,000 feet [3,700 m] and plumed toward the Mississippi River. Other consequences – blighted land, relocated communities, tritium-contaminated water, radioactivity, and fallout from debris being hurled high into the atmosphere – were ignored and downplayed until the program was terminated in 1977, due in large part to public opposition.

THere's a good book about that, which I completely forget the name of. I borrowed it at work years ago, we had a library of books about the nuclear industry (what with being a company in that bizz ) and that made the cut for inclusion.MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2024 8:34 am This is my favourite, we could be exploring the solar system properly with these.

Gonna bug me now - I can't see it on the list of references in that ^ wiki article. It was full of interviews with the people who were actually involved.

Re: This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...
Oh and for really big bangs you need to add lithium deuteride to the uranium (fission bomb max size is about a megaton before the weapon blows itself apart without fissioning all its “explosive metal”). Fusion weapons have no theoretical limit but need a fission bomb to light them off and on a planetary use weapon there’s no point going over 50 megatons, anything over that and the excess energy lifts a chunk of atmosphere and directs the blast upwards (path of least resistance). Also at the multimegaton scale the device is a 3 stage fission-fusion-fission weapon and is very “dirty”.

Re: This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...
You're obviously suggestimg that CrowdStrike are in Ukraine, as well as being owned by a Ukrainian. Maybe you could start by furnishing us with some evidence? (I believe Dazzle has already asked for a source, did you reply?) Trump doesn't appear to have any answers.Screwdriver wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 9:16 pm...and if you remove the "Trump therefore must be wrong" filter, it does indicate something fishy with CrowdStrike. WTF are they doing in Ukraine anyway? Are you suggesting they were not?Hoonercat wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 8:22 pm
I've just been reminded of future president Trump's thoughtful and expert analysis of the CrowdStrike allegations which dated back to 2016.
BTW that was the serving President of the US talking to the President of Ukraine about a conspiracy that originated on 4Chan 3 years earlier, without the slightest bit of proof. But he believed it.I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike ... I guess you have one of your wealthy people ... The server, they say Ukraine has it.
And if that doesn't convince you that he should be the next president of the USA, I don't know what will.
Trump:
The server, they say Ukraine has it.
Trump:
A lot of it had to do, they say, with Ukraine," he began, before alleging that the country has the DNC server that was hacked in 2016.
Fox News' Steve Doocy on Friday pressed the president on whether he was "sure" about the claims.
“Are you sure they did that? Are you sure they gave it to Ukraine?” he asked of the DNC server.
Trump: “Well, that’s what the word is," Trump said.
