Although the plant did continue to operate after the explosion of Reactor #4 in 1986, it has since be fully closed.

Reactor #2 was shut down in 1989. Reactor #1 was shut down in 1996, and Reactor #3 was shut down in 2000.

Iran is the #1 state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and we're about to lift sanctions and give them a pathway to building nukes. The lunatics are very definitely running the asylum.

Russian Oil Headed for the U.S.

Joe Biden is wholly unserious about the Ukraine invasion. No SWIFT cutoff, no ramp-up of domestic oil production, and we're still buying MILLIONS OF GALLONS of oil from Russia.

Why didn't one reporter ask Biden about this yesterday? Seems like an obvious set of questions.

Why so long?

Somehow these guys get to keep their accounts while Trump's is removed.

Suppose that's by accident or by design?

Huh? Both of those accounts (@CNNAfghan and @CNNUKR) were suspended almost immediately by Twitter.

Like, just go to Twitter and search both of those names. They're gone.

The only folks with original screenshots of the Aug 2021 post are the ones who noticed, at the time, that the man in the photo is in fact a popular Youtube game reviewer named Jordie Jordan. Here's his channel, in which you can see his face clearly in a number of his videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/WingsofRedemption/videos


This is a classic example of confirmation bias. You want to believe that CNN is perpetuating a really amateurish fraud. You also want to believe that Twitter is punishing former president Trump, while allowing other fraudsters to run free on their platform.

Neither of these are true, but because both conclusions match your expectations, you didn't do even the slightest bit of independent fact-checking.

It's actually more of a confirmation that I don't have a Twitter account.

While I recognize that this is a badge of pride for you, I offer the following quotation from The Hunt for Red October:

"It is wise to study the ways of one's adversary."
