Nuclear War is NOT a game. The legions of blind infected burn victims with no hospitals and no food can attest to that

Nuclear War is the END of Human Civilization. Bye Bye folks; its over.

11. I already have.

I know. I lived through the fifties and sixties and the fear that was with us at all time.
This would be the end of it all, period.

4. Trump's fascism is White Nationalism: His followers are KKK people.

Watch Ny-times video: and Charlie Pierce video:

3. Trump is too scary to contemplate in that role

More people need to be aware.

I read that the Secretary of Defense is necessary too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_football

The United States has a two-man rule in place, and while only the president can order the release of nuclear weapons, the order must be confirmed by the Secretary of Defense...

However, that's an appointment by the President, so is it really much of a safeguard? What if he appoints Sarah Palin or one of his sons?

5. Requires Senate confirmation, so unlikely it would be Palin or family

but a Rumsfeld or Cheney could be worse

6. Trumps followers are as ignorant and violent as Trump: What do we

do we expect out of people who don't think anymore than he does.

8. It might be more helpful

... to compel the non-Trump crowd to GOTV.

It does for me!

9. A Nuclear Launch decision made by Birthers Trump and Roger Stone, at 3 am after 4 Martinis? Really?

7. Absolutely terrifying!

I consider this man and his supporters to be "Enemies of the State". Making sure Donald Trump never sets foot anywhere near the White House has got to be America's #1 priority!

To the Johnson/Stein supporters, I understand your issues (I have them, too), but I implore you: vote your consciences next election. There is only one person standing between Trump and the Presidency and her name is Hillary Clinton. At all costs, America must defeat Donald Trump in the 2016 elections.

10. Oh; Presidents make Mistakes; and Shit Happens:

12. There is a very Small Window of Time for the GOP to Withdraw the nomination of Mr Trump
