For all the doubters. Who's in bed with the Russians? Who donated huge sums to the Clinton foundation?

    The argument that Russia went to all the effort to bribe and payoff their way into that deal when they could never use the uranium was always laughable and obvious bullshit. That's why hondo believed it.

    The problem the democrats have is that a lot of the country isn't as dumb as their voters.

    Who fucking cares? Uranium is for fags. Give me a plutonium based device any day of the week. Fat Man > Little Boy.

    Seems like Trump + Rick Perry could be doing something about this.

    U-238 is transmuted to Pu-239 in nuclear reactors.

    Phil Bleanor's keen powers of deduction are the result of being in close proximity to this process.

    I get that there is fishiness to the Uranium One deal but I don't see what the big payoff is for Russia even if they did bribe their way into exporting US Uranium. US doesn't produce very much Uranium, about 2% of the global trade. The Uranium One mine represents less than 20% of total us production. So what can Russia do with a relatively small mine to fuck over the US which already imports most of its Uranium anyways?

    I just haven't followed the story. If Hillary did bad nefarious things, lock her up! I vaguely remember the whole deal going through like 20 layers of stuff of which Hillary was one.

    Has Uranium One uranium actually left the country? Where did it go?

    Good question.

    You won't last long around here peddling that bullshit.

    Russia saw something. And were willing to pay. Even if there is no payoff a crime is a crime.

    We've gone from nothing wrong happened to we don't understand why something wrong happened

    So we're moving
