Atoms for peace, anyone?

He's been skirting around Mad King territory for a decade and I think we can now officially say that the king is, indeed, Mad
Interesting fact:
π· The last United States President that didnβt drop a single bomb on a foreign country was: Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)

Always remember the Owen Lars rule - you can play with your friends when your chores are done.
Let me be clear: Iβm glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
I hope to God the Joint Chiefs are ready to execute a coup if it comes to that. But I don't think they are, and it's not even fair to ask them to. /8
This is the most dangerous point in history humanity has faced since the Cuban Missile Crisis. And we have a mad, boorish idiot at the helm of the government.
There's a very good reason why most 20th century presidents were mostly boring. This is it. Boring is the price you pay for survival. /7
The time for politics has come to an end. Act immediately, or risk certain death, as Trump himself says. /6
Weapons Power, not power station.
This is what @thebulletin.org has been trying to tell us for decades, and Trump is what happens when party elites do not listen.
Getting the destruction of civilization in exchange for a slightly more democratic system is not acceptable.
If you still think Iβm being alarmist, read βNuclear War: A Scenarioβ by Annie Jacobsen. One nuclear weapon sets off a chain reaction that ends civilization. /4
Scientists have long believed that uneducated people should not be trusted to choose presidential nominees in the nuclear age, and I agree.

Ukrainian banking officials are briefing EU and US ambassadors on the Hungary incident right now, FM Sybiha says. He sees "Russian handwriting" in it, linking Hungarian officials' Moscow trips to a chain of provocations.
We're at war in Iran, the president is already talking about another war with Cuba, and the White House and secretary of state are spending their time doing a roundtable on Name, Image, and Likeness rights in college sports?
Within hours of the U.S. blowing up a girls' school in Iran, the U.S. military knew what it had done. The Trump regime failed to take responsibility and said it was "under investigation" in hopes that it would be old news by the time it became indisputable that children were massacred in our name.
