    Can a stack of cards get so tall that the bit at the top escapes Earth’s gravity?

    Or does it just take like… most of a decade to fall?

      The left needs to stop believing that THIS TIME the MAGA followers will see the fraud. It will never happen. There is no house of flares related to his reputation. There is him (the victim truth teller) and the angry left who break laws to bring him down.

        Their handlers could tell them the sky is green and grass is blue and the next day there’d be dozens of blossoming new conspiracy theories about “big Crayola” and the leftist elites’ woke control over colors and child molestation/adrenal harvesting.

      The effects of gravity drop at the distance squared. I believe it technically is felt up to the very edge of the universe (if there is one) or infinity. At a more reasonable scale, it would only be if the card got close enough to fall into another bodies gravity well than the Earth’s that it wouldn’t fall back to earth. That’d be a house of cards somewhere around 300k-350k km high to get pulled onto the moon.
