The Justice Department notified a federal judge in Reno the government had already trucked the radioactive material to the site 70 miles north of Las Vegas when Nevada filed a request for an injunction to block the move in November. (source)The governor was less than thrilled about Prez Groper Von Who-Cares-What YOU-Want’s sneaky-ass, bullshit move.
“I am beyond outraged by this completely unacceptable deception from the U.S. Department of Energy,” Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) said in a statement.I love (i.e., HATE!) this passive aggressive statement from the supposedly unbiased Reuters news site:
The department led the State of Nevada to believe that they were engaging in good-faith negotiations with us regarding a potential shipment of weapons-grade plutonium, only to reveal that those negotiations were a sham all along. They lied to the State of Nevada, misled a federal court, and jeopardized the safety of Nevada’s families and environment,” he said. (source)

The revelation angered politicians from Nevada, a sparsely populated state where the federal government has long wanted to store nuclear waste.Yeah, hardly anyone lives in the state so, like, they’ll totally never know that they’re living with cancer causing radioactive, death dealing waste. AND they shoulda known we’d truck this shit in – we told them we wanted to!
Reuters also pointed out, repeatedly, that the people who were elected to serve the citizens of Nevada are ***SHRIEK, HORRORS*** Democrats. Thus implying that their rage is nothing more than political grandstanding. Yup, it’s got fuck all to do with the endangering Nevadans’ health OR poisoning the land. Plus, there’s Nevada’s biggest industry which could be banjaxed by cancer causing radioactive waste being buried just 70 miles north of Las Vegas.
Just FYI, erosion, earthquakes and human error happen. Buried and sealed horror-show, death dealing waste doesn’t necessarily stay put.
In other nuclear news, Pompeo, the Secretary of State du jour, announced that the U.S. is pulling out of our nuclear arms control treaty with Russia.
President Trump said Russia is violating the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, a charge Moscow denies, leaving the United States at a disadvantage because of its own compliance at a time when global threats have changed considerably in the more than 30 years since the pact was signed. (source)WHY do I have the feeling this is some scam cooked up by the Tangerine Twat and his man-crush, the preposterously wealthy Vlad, in one of their little NO-U.S.-officials-allowed-and-NO-note taking-allowed tête-à-têtes? How do Putin and the Greedy Tantrum Toddler benefit from killing the nuclear arms control treaty with Russia? Money is their motivator so how do they make out from reigniting the arms race?
I wonder, once Earth is a lifeless, smoldering rock, will they then focus more on “conquering” Mars. Just FYI Mr. Grab-em-by-the-pussy, Mars has a profound hoo-ha deficit (willing or no – not that this matters to you). Ya might wanna mebbe rethink your plan
Nevada should tell Trump that if he sticks them with any more of this crap they'll sell it to Iran. They probably can't do that, but Trump isn't bright enough to understand such things.
ReplyDeleteNext time Democrats control the government they should use eminent domain to convert Merde-a-Lago into a toxic waste dump. It practically is one already.
The Russia treaty thing seems pretty cut-and-dried. There's a new missile Russia wants to deploy which would violate the treaty. If Trump abrogates the treaty first, Russia can go ahead without the onus of being the ones to violate it.
How much more clear does it need to be that Trump's on Putin's payroll before he's taken away in chains?
