"What bad can Trump do as president? There are checks and balances." Not true:

[yorkie77]

This is absolutely horrifying. There are no checks and balances for this weapon system. Trump could destroy the world.

If I could stomach going onto Trump websites, I would certainly refer people to this program. I might try to work it into conversations. The word needs to get out about this one.

1. With just about anybody else, I'd think concern about this would just be hyperbole. Not this time

David Martin: Does Congress have to approve?

Cecil Haney: No, Congress does not have to approve.

David Martin: So these really are the president’s own weapons.

3. We have to get the word out

I was really upset by Sarah Palin's stupidity years ago, and moved to PA for a month to volunteer for Obama. I can't do that this year, but I need to do everything I can to keep this DT egomaniac away from The Button.

4. kick

The fact that there are NO checks and balances when it comes to launching nuclear weapons needs to be widely recognized. Even the people who aren't actively turned off by his shit-flinging temperament might be alarmed to think that he might use nuclear weapons to settle a grudge... for example, when Putin humiliates him in some way, as he inevitably would.

2. This is what I told people about his knee-jerk assumption that the NYC explosion was a bomb

If God forbid he got elected and a car backfired in his general vicinity, Trump would be tripping over himself to turn the nearest country with brown people in it into a sheet of glass. We cannot give a loose cannon like him access to The Button.

5. tRump is worse than Palin who was 10 times as apathetic as Bush... Palin was an Alaskan politico

... and knew her stuff there.

Can anyone see tRump working a true 9 - 5 grind?

His hands might be small but there no doubt sofF

6. Also congress has no earthly reason not to help him slash taxes on the wealthiest,

Limit our reproductive rights, and deregulate businesses to the max. He will make them deals so they will look the other way while he rewrites our foreign policy to enrich himself. There are no limits.
