As some worry about Trump having access to nuclear codes, recalling what I reported about Trump’s 2017 trip to Puerto Rico where he was showing off nuclear football to the governor. pic.twitter.com/MgfFxv87A6

Yup, and the very last thing Trump should do, and I mean like right-fucking-now, is crack open that briefcase and obliterate Iran.
Drop a couple of W88s on the Mullahs and walk away like a fucking boss.
Legendary.
like the old picture of a B2 turning back home with a fireball in the back.. Comment was “Miller Time!”
I think it requires his authorization and also someone else’s, specifically to prevent an unprovoked nuke strike on a whim.
Not that I dont agree with you, just that I think there’s a technical limitation here
The second person (the Secretary of Defense) only validates that the order is authentic and comes from the president, but does not and can not verify that the president is sane or that they agree with the order. The decision to launch is vested solely in the president themselves. Everyone else down the chain of command is tasked with validating and executing the validated order without fail.
There has been some discussion of whether or not this is the desired thing, in that an insane president could order the unjustified use of nuclear weapons without any circuit breakers being able to stop them, and at least one military officer has been removed from their position for asking how they would know if the order is from a sane president. However the time-sensitive nature of scenarios where use of nuclear weapons would likely be justified means that there might not be time to get all the approvals, so not much change has occurred.
Also, I’m partial to the W87 over the W88.
First president in how long to not start a new conflict? How many Arab nations now recognize Israel?
Same Gov that resigned in disgrace?
reminiscent of the old Soviet “against the Party? Must be crazy!” maneuver.
“Of *COURSE* Trump is dangerously unstable! Why, look at how he rails about “The Swamp!” (rifles through stack of notes on entrenched bureaucratic resistance to initiatives of the legally elected Chief Executive, over the last 4 years) “There’s no evidence! None!”
It’s interesting to find a website run by literal psychopaths.
You must tell us, Herr Dokter, where this website is.
BTW, this, right here? This known as “a blog”. That is one thing I can tell about this new fangled internet thingy
When people say they want to exterminate me, I believe them. History shows that the best way to deal with this is to strike first and strike hard. Sorry if wanting to nuke people who have called for a second holocaust against the Jews hurts your feels.
