A nuke in DC would impact minorities and women disproportionately.

Obviously.

Political reform?

[JJBookman]

...paint a BIG target on the place!

[Rummyfan]

Twenty million tops... depending on the breaks.

[Paladin2]

Set K Street as Ground Zer0.

[HYPOCRACY]

It would avoid a civil war. The red states could form their own country and attack blue states which would technically not be a civil war.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Are we talking about during one of the frequent congressional vacations or are we talking about during the presidential State of the Union?

I lived 11 miles southwest of the capitol building for 30 years. I spent most of those years either in the Pentagon or on Ft. McNair.

[linMcHlp]

The crime stats would change.

The Republic would be saved.

[SaveFerris]

Seems like they’re trying to find out

[exinnj]

What’s your point, Ms. Jacobsen?

[Billthedrill]

It wouldn’t be good news. If they can take out DC, they can take out important places as well.

[Jeff Chandler]

I would feel bad about the innocent people. Both of them.

[SaveFerris]

12 miles offshore was 2 minutes roughly when they traveled 600 mph.

And now they’re much faster.

Cruise missiles would be first I’d guess.

Hope we’re not about to find out.

[roadcat]

Everyone would be gone?

Hopefully, the IRS admins will be gone. Yay, no federal taxes for a while!

[Darksheare]

It would be the deep state doing it, they’d survive to crawl out and offer to “help”.
