Probably heavier than any load I ever hauled. I think 60 tons was my biggest, spread out over 28 wheels. The permitting agencies take weight and dimensions into account before issuing your permit and routes are not suggestions. It's quite costly to vary from the specific route, and you're responsible for any damages caused, either on or off-route.
They did; either 2 or 18 kilotons, depending on something or other I can't remember from an old co-worker who'd been a Nike battery commander at the site in Long Beach.
I was vaguely aware of that, yes. I grew up with a couple of sites nearby, and they had open houses pretty frequently. Hippies notwithstanding, San Francisco has always been a rah-rah military town. Lotsa jerbs, doncha know.
IIRC it had something to do with how unsafe it would be to trot out heavy military equipment on the streets of what used to be an actual swamp FFS. But we all know how much Donald respects silly geological facts, so here we are.
The Daily Kos Elections newsletter (comes Mon-Fri and I highly recommend it if you're as obsessed with this stuff as I am) pretty much said all of these were hopelessly Republican seats, so even flipping just one is a major win. Let's do this thing!
The Pentagon shut this idea down last time he proposed it, why now?
The article says he went to them in their most-secure SCIF and said, "I want this." At the inaug they could dodge him on logistics. M1A2 tanks, for instance, have to be transported by rail from Fort Benning GA or a few other places quite aways away from DC. As you can see, they just barely fit.<img src="https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/fileSendAction/fcType/0/fcOid/33950814556240499/filePointer/33950814797629063/fodoid/33950814797629054/imageType/LARGE/inlineImage/true/dodx40399amr.jpg">They can go on low-boy trailers, but that's a transportation adventure too.
In addition, all the soldiers, sailors and airmen will have to learn to goose-step. It's not part of the program of instruction at present.
There's also the thing about the roadways in DC not being able to take the weight.
M1A2 = 70 tons. That's a lot, but it is spread across all the road wheels. However, when you put the whole thing on an old bridge….

The Patriot missile system presents comparable logistic challenges when used for egotistical displays. <img src="http://www.armyrecognition.com/images/stories/europe/germany/missile_vehicle_system/patriot/pictures/Patriot_launcher_unit_vehicle_ground-to-air_defence_missile_system_Germany_German_army_001.jpg"/>
I grew up with Nikes. Not too portable, but we liked them.

Didja know those had nuclear warheads?

Politics stuff. One of four open seats. Others not so well. But some swing.

Wow: Democrats WIN Missouri's #HD97 by 3% (51.5-48.5). It's a pick-up.
That's an absurdly large net swing of 31 percentage points toward Dems compared to the 2016 presidential results.
WHOA.
