A poke in the eye to Obama.
I am going to have nightmares now. How did Cheese Boy get the nuclear material?
Want more nightmares? Obama gave Iran $30 billion that they can now use to buy some of those nukes from the Norks.
Well, hopefully, they only had one.

5.3 on the Richter scale is 1.3 kilotons according to http://www.convertalot.com/earthquake_power__calculator.html
Hiroshima was 15 KT.
My instant poll just put Trump +6.
Chances are the Iranians funded and/or built this one so....
1.3 KT seems pretty low for a successful test.
September 9 is the anniversary of the founding of North Korea.
“Barry just wet himself.”
Why? Not his problem...he’s got enough problems, like getting more Muslim “refugees”, apologizing to the world for US behavior over the last 230 years...you know. Big problems.
I looked at that scale. I think it’s off. According to this 5.3 = 90KT

So the hiroshima bomb was like how big. On the richter scale?
LOL! Bet she will!.
But oddly enough, I do find it quite refreshing not to blame Bush for the cause of all our ills.
How many truck bombs is that 1300 KILOTONS of explosive equal to?
1.300 x 1000 = 1,300 TONS of explosives.
1300 x 2200 lbs/ton = 2,860,000 pounds of explosives ... = 72 tractor trailer rigs.
90 KT would be 6 times Hiroshima.
It is only a matter of time! Only question is what city & when?
Yeah, which seems a little too sophisticated for the Norks. This site says 5.0 = 32KT. and 5.5 = 80KT. So some interpolation has to be done for 5.3.

Awesome work.
