I am so confused by the new DDU rules. I feel everything all at once towards those things entering My White House.

(5,376 posts)Now there's a phrase I haven't heard much since the good ol' "Duck and Cover" days of my childhood. (Yep, I'm that old.) Another phrase has popped into my mind: "Nuclear Winter".
Can NO-ONE stop this insane miserable excuse for a human being from taking office?? And no, I'm not suggesting anything untoward. I also clearly recall November 22, 1963, a painful memory indeed.
If I weren't an atheist, I'd be inclined to say, Lord help us all!
Stay strong, everyone.

Is that correct or what?

(5,376 posts)Well, I just shared more than you ever wanted to hear, I'm guessing. Gosh, when I look back on those days, it's a wonder I turned out normal at all. Hmmm...come to think of it, maybe I didn't, but also didn't spent years on a psychiatrist's couch, so maybe that's a good sign. Okay, that's enough. Be safe and blessings to you.
BTW, DU is one of my most valued safety nets as I navigate my dotage.

(8,421 posts)I remember being in kindergarten and having to go downstairs to the scary basement for those drills. I also spent a couple of days in a home bomb shelter during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I marched on the front lines for women's rights, I helped occupy a building on my campus for minority students, I marched in Madison for our union rights.
I feel like "Good Grief! Not this crapola again!" The Evils of the "Reds".
I think the anticipation will kill us off-I am unsure of what will happen in 2017, but 2016 sucked!
I come to DU a lot, it almost did me in when it was down for the election.

FU, you orange, hate-filled, war-mongering pervert. I wish I believed in hell--actually, I wish I believed in the hell that needs to be created for you, and those who support and suck up to you.

(7,403 posts)None of the vetting happened before the election. Indeed, the election coverage in this election was by far the worst I have seen in all of my 76 years. This kind of buyers remorse should not have been set up by the incompetent leading the incompetent, leaving us to live our lives in fear of what comes next.

What's next? Is he going to ride around the country crashing weddings and demanding the first night with the brides?
And still the media will pretend that everything is just fine.
This asshole grew up during the same Cold War I did. How can he be so fucking stupid?

(7,968 posts)I am not confident that this fool will not destroy us and take half or more of the planet with us. He's really out of touch with reality and his ego complex is extremely dangerous.
If we start a "limited nuclear war" it could very easily spiral out of control. The probability of that event may still be small (though I'm not even sure of that) the consequences are so dire as to make it unthinkable.
Should I be working on plans to evacuate my family to lower radiation areas?
