North Korea: We love Trump. He has seen The Light.
Trump is an elephant jumping up and down on one side of the scale.
Aided and abetted by Newt, Eric, Ivanka, Paul, Rudy, and countless other spineless Republicans who say nothing but still supporting the nominee.
Sane. Common sense. Experienced. Sad!!

âWeâll meet again,
Donât know where, donât know whenââŚ
Trump asked if any of the tactical nukes come in chocolateâŚ
Noonan continued, âBut of course I support the nominee.â
TPM:
"⌠Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump, and three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked, at one point, âIf we have them, why canât we use them?â Scarborough said.
We canât use nuclear weapons because other countries have them too.
That Trump has to ask three times about something that shouldnât need to be asked about even once is astounding.
Supposedly âsaneâ people supporting an insane man are not free of the blame for him. Thatâs why people fine OWNERS of vicious animals who harm others. And Trump is now a vicious, untamed animalistic collection of id-based impulses, unimpeded for the course of a life the uniqueness and malignancy of which can only be grasped by certain types of people.
In fact, one of the requirements of being a Trump supporter is to NOT be one of those people.
If GOD FORBID a madman like Trump ever became President, I would hope for and welcome a temporary military coup from the top brass if he began an unwarranted use of nuclear weapons, arrest of the President as an imminent danger, and immediate return to civilian rule with the offending President removed under section 4 of the 25th Amendment. This violates every principle the country is based on but when youâre trying to save the damn world, somethingâs gotta give, you know?
There are no words to describe how Iâm feeling after reading this. He is absolutely right, and Trump cannot be president because it jeopardizes all of our lives.
SLOppY. Twenty TWeeTs. TRUmp WOULD only NEEd ONe for his COUNTErargument: Many people hav3e Telled ME Noonan IS An unhinged LOSEr.
Now I know why evangelicals support Trump by a wide margin, wider than Romney in 2012. He can bring on the Rapture.
"Top Trump aide Paul Manafort later denied that any such security briefings have been made, saying that it âjust didnât happen.â "
Pathalogical liar Manafort denied it? I take that as definite confirmation that it did happen.
Cross posting and self-plagerizing, but itâs important:
We are now into the second generation of voters who have no meaningful memories of the days when the Emergency Broadcast System wasnât a thing that warned you about severe weather but, rather, was a government service that would provide everyone ten to fifteen minutes to decide whether you were really, truly an atheist before you died.
Nuclear war wasnât an abstraction or an exercise in hyperbole before 1992. It was a constant background worry for all informed people. It was like a low grade infection sapping your sense of wellbeing. And thatâs when there wasnât actually a crisis going in the world.
We and the Soviets each had fifty to sixty thousand nuclear weapons and they were all armed, aimed and on a hair trigger alert. We had seventeen, thatâs right, seventeen warheads pointed at Moscow alone, which, in keeping with the underlying madness of the entire idea, were targeted at individual buildings, and scheduled to roll in over the course of the Last Day to ensure they didnât disrupt each other. They had even more warheads, similarly targeted at us. (Unspoken by either nation was that neither us or the Soviets were likely to leave China around to claim the title of King of the Ashes if the nukes flew.)
It would take hours for either side to get the End of the World Party started today. Then, it could happen literally in two or three minutes.
So, back in those days, at least, this story wouldnât have been just a thing people shrugged their shoulders at and criticized the sourcing before moving on. In those days, the MSM, whose denizens lived with the same fear the rest of us did and, in any case, wasnât the degenerate, coopted sham it is today, would have been on this story like a pack of Rotweillers on a trespasser wearing a suit made of steak.
I donât want to shake my cane or criticize the useless youth of today or go on and on about the days when I hung an onion from my belt. I just want people to understand that the mere fact that a person who thought he could be president asked these questionsâthe mere level of ignorance that caused him to ask them, not the underlying madnessâwould have been considered disqualifying and a matter of absolute, paramount importance. You would have heard of nothing else for days.
Iâm glad that, along with all the other shitshowsâthe income inequality, the global warming, the democratic institutions strained to their breaking point because one of our two major parities has degenerated from a normal American political party into a nihilistic authoritarian hypernationalistic movementâwe could at least pass on a world where the constant fear of global thermonuclear armageddon has receded.
But for godâs sake, please donât take it for granted. It would be a criminal irony if the result of our having been able to accomplish the small good of delivering ourselves and our posterity from a world where Mutual Assured Destruction was the only way we could think of to render the use of nuclear weapons âunthinkableâ was was to render the use of two or three or ten nuclear weapons all-too-thinkable by a presidential candidate.
The slogan from 64 needs to come back:
âIn your guts, you know heâs nutsâ
Amen.
Relax everyone. I think he just wants to use it on the Khans and that baby that showed him up.
And, oh yeah, Rosie OâDonnell. Always Rosie OâDonnell.
Seriously, Reince, Ryan, and McConnell deserve this. The rest of the world most certainly does not.
Former Nuke Weapons Officer on Trump: âDoes he understand just how Fâing dangerous that is?â
Trump later responded:
âNobody has more Fâing dangerous policies, believe me! I have bigger, more-mind-bogglingly Fâing dangerous policies than anybody! Just very, very Fâing, Fâing dangerous policies. The most Fâing dangerous policies!â
