It wasn't designed for impacts.

FWIW, if your head impacts a hard surface at that speed (1 m/s) you
will suffer a life threatening concussion. Pretty cheesy.

Dy'all think Rich was dropped on his head?
That would certainly explain a grate deal. ;-)

Dump's motto: Make America grate again!

If Chump gets to start WW3 with less than half the local electorate as his supposed mandate..
what does that tell us about the value of democracy in the rest of the world?
6 billion never voted for Stump von Twit.
Even his own party and cabinet disown him.
But he still gets to play god?
Gets to push the button to end our world as we know it?
How does that work?
