Oh stop it.
Listened briefly to a second-string Repooflican radio show this aft. At least they've stopped hammering on the pointless Benghazi stuff, which was THE ONLY SUBJECT for about six months. Now they're talking about North Korea and Kim 3, which is a valid concern. But the specific choice of worries is way out of date: worrying about EMP bombs, and describing the method as if it's brand new.
EMP bombs have been a known threat since the '60s, and they were a serious worry in the '80s when solid-state electronics were universal but not yet connected by the Web.
Now you don't need the trouble and expense of detonating an A-bomb, which would be immediately detectable and traceable. Software can do the same job much more efficiently, without easy detection. Hackers are ALREADY doing the same job for all sides.
On the domestic side of the discussion, it's still Takers and Makers and it's still 47% and it's still vote themselves largesse from the public treasury and it's still ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS! ZERO TAX FOR GOLDMAN SACHS!

Well, I guess I can tune out for another year or two. Nothing new there.
