And there are no sane people left in charge to tell him it's a bad idea this time.

EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN.

He thinks the public will forget he's a pedo.

will only last so long. Got to top that. Plus threaten Xi.

Everyone down wind in Utah, had better pack up and leave the plume........

And he's just insane enough to do it. Maybe that's the hurry on his new golden palace--to build a nuclear bunker under it.

and his people, handlers whatever you want to call them, they are insane enough to let him do just that.

to think any bunker would survive a nuclear hit directly on it.........

I am sure Putin would consider a small tactical nuke, and now his puppet will consider it also.......

Trump keeps throwing shit at the wall, in hopes some of it sticks, to divert attention from Epstein and all the other shit Miller and Vought are doing in the shadows behind their smoke and mirrors.......

on China. Some brilliant national leadership we've had these past 25 years to allow corporations to rape the public for profit while at the same time sending much of the wealth, brainpower, and know-how to China.

I mean, when I read it I actually had the same kind of bad goosebumps go down my spine as I did seeing the demolished East Wing. He's going to nuke someone. He wants SO desperately to be King of this country.. and so badly to keep any kind of elections from happening... that he'll nuke someone, foreign or domestic, and then claim Insurrection Act status. He, or really... more likely, Miller and Kegsbreath... or up to something and none of it is good. Ever have that feeling when you know something drastic has to be done RIGHT NOW and you have no idea what it is and how you could do it? That's the hole I'm in...

Maybe he thinks firing off a nuke might either shut all of us up, or gain him new fans?

Interesting since the teams protecting our nukes aren't getting paid right now. The Tangerine King has such impeccable timing.

to use nukes without congressional approval. I guess they were all freaked out by how many times he mentioned nuking some place. Could be wrong or I am right and the Republicans will give him the green light or he will just do whatever the Hell he wants anyway.

...and Hegseth would probably be drunk under his desk when Trump activated the Permissive Action Link.

Wtf

Doesn't trust his nukes and wants to test a few. Trump doesn't ever do anything for the US.

He used the big bombs in Iran.
What's the use of having toys if you can't play with them.

... or anything worthwhile like that.

So, instead of leading by example and continuing to pressure the hold-out nations to sign, it's now "If you can't beat em, join em" ?

I want the America back that aspired to build a more perfect union and promote values of global citizenship here and abroad. Sure, our progress on those aspirations was too slow, but Trump's America is barreling headlong into evil empire status.

Failed to pass the bill.

The Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty was never ratified in part because of Trent Lott. Remember him?

I believe Trump is hellbent on ending the moratorium by carrying out full-yield tests, and thereby erase any good that came out of the efforts of the hated Clintons.

We are naive to think that a promise and a handshake will ever be enough ever again. Then or now.

So, hatred for the Clintons may be a factor for the rotten mango. But the Republicans had their eyes on the nuclear weapons prize much further back than that.
