(21,020 posts)is say, "President Obama could be right", and that's likely the end of it, and he comes away looking like a halfway rational adult.
Although I highly doubt he has enough self-awareness to realize (or even care) that he looks like an asshole.

(27,995 posts)He's like a petulant child. He can't tolerate the slightest criticism. No wonder he admires dictators and strongmen who silence their critics.

(16,887 posts)Yesterday, I listened and watched a discussion from the Ploughshare Foundation talking about the fact that the nuclear weapons can be launched in under 4 mins and that there is no real chain of command that the President has to follow and that this "Finger trigger" protocol needs to be changed by President Obama immediately, that he can't wait and hand that power over to Trump. Then I watched Japan's Prime Minister Abe on TV next to Obama at Pearl Harbor giving condolences and promising to never wage war again. The only time in our world history that nuclear bombs have been used by US on Japan in WWII. Soon after that, the Twit tweets a response to this meeting with Abe and Obama at Pearl Harbor taking swipes at him and his statements (not to mention his mocking of the United Nations as nothing more than a "social club".
Last night I went to see Rogue One in IMAX 3D with my family. The last scene, with the death star being used and the mushroom cloud and people embracing as they die - and then in a follow up scene with Princess Leia saying "It's Hope".... I started having tears streaming down my cheeks. Because at that moment, realizing all the symbolism and even Carrie Fisher had died... and that the reality of what is happening - was all too real...

Yeah, Obama needs to get the protocol changed. Trumputin is too jumpy, trigger-happy to be trusted.

(55,894 posts)That somehow encapsulates so much of what's happened over these last few months.
Part of it is the banality of evil.
It's #1 on a list of political blather.
My God, we are completely f*cked.

(146 posts)While the Valley girls speak are dumbing it down, Donald Trump is just plain dumb! He--is--like, so totally--clueless and he--is--totally, totally out of his league.
Whatever you say Trumpezoid...
