Utter insanity. For decades weā€™ve fought to prevent nuclear proliferation and convince Pakistan and India to limit the growth of their stockpiles, and this moron wants to financially devastate the US for the sake ofā€¦his ego? Overcompensation?

hunh, several stories tried to tie the ā€˜moronā€™ comment to the Boy Scout Speech, but the speech was apparently on July 24th. Perhaps Tillerson was overheard calling Trump what he is on more than one occasionā€¦

Thereā€™s room for all of them there.

Because more military spending than the rest of the world combined isnā€™t enough. The martians might invade.

I seriously wish heā€™d take up Mensaā€™s offer. My money is that Tillerson is more than a few points ahead of him (not that I think Tillerson is a brainiac, itā€™s all just relative).

Of course, the WH staff is trying to quash it, because they work day in and day out with Donnie Dipshit ā€“ they know whatā€™ll happen when the truth comes out:

Report: Tillersonā€™s ā€˜Moronā€™ Remark Came After Trump Asked For More Nukes

Proof that Rex Tillerson is a slow learner. Those of us who were actually paying attention knew that 30 years ago. A majority of Americans knew that 2 years ago. Tillerson just figured it out in July, after he gave up a lucrative career killing the planet just to get wraithedā€¦

Actually, no, it was a different request that drew the f-ing moron comment. Turns out Tillersonā€™s response to the nuclear buildup demand was to call him a ā€œvainglorious booby.ā€

No wonder why evangelicals are so enamored of Trump. They view him as the guy who can bring the rapture.

I agree heā€™s nuts. Iā€™ve written before that Iā€™d love to see his psych evaluation. I also think heā€™s toxic to everything he touches especially our political system and should be removed from office. Thatā€™s not going to happen until enough Republicans get on board or Dems sweep next election.

What heā€™s doing doesnā€™t have to be rational, Itā€™s simply ingrained in him. As is his need to destroy all things Obama. Exaggerate, lie, extort, Itā€™s how he got where he is and who he is.

Thatā€™s why Trump is a genius. Turn the world into an irradiated hell hole and the Martians wonā€™t want to invade.

Checkmate librul.

Why a ā€œtenfoldā€ increase in nuclear weapons, because he has ten stubby fingers, thatā€™s why.

There are several treaties with the Russians still in force that would need to be dumped before more bombs could be built.ā€™
Also what good it if you can blow up the earth 10 times and completely destroy humanity with what we have now to increase it to 15 or 20 times?
Then thereā€™s the expense of creating the plutonium (yes plutonium is made in reactors, not mined) and mining the uranium.
I started my day off with an Eminem rap. I am not usually a fan of rap but I am of this particular one freestyle spoken poem. Itā€™s gooood.

The Martians are loving this - if they let the inhabitants of the little blue planet annihilate themselves, they donā€™t have to answer to the United Federation of Planets. :wink:

trump, I think, has no conception of what destruction a nuke is capable of. Just one. We have more than a thousand ready to go in under 10 minutes of he ordered it. We have a couple thousand more in parts we could assemble and use but what is the fucking point?

trump is ignorant about so very much in this world.
I started off today in a much better frame of mind after watching Eminemā€™s opinion of trump. I am not a fan of rap but I am of this free style poem.

Trump-branded golf courses would be a good place to start. Wide open expanses and a dwindling visitor base plus the fact he could make a fortune leasing to the Feds (because we already know the emoluments clause doesnā€™t matter anymore).

I was fairly confident you did see all that. And heā€™s actually skilled at deflection and water-muddying by instinct and long practice, and it matches what Putinā€™s people do as a conscious strategy. But heā€™s still fundamentally self-destructively nuts and it could get us all killed, so Iā€™ve become a broken record on the subject. Should probably be out yelling it on street corners where I might make a few convertsā€”just preaching to the choir here.

@bd2999 Indeed it would. And no one in the room thought to point this out to him? Really? WTF?
