I just read something that truly terrifies me. It is something that I vaguely thought in the back of my mind that I sort of knew, but this really brings it home. Donald Trump is an unstable human being. He has been described as narcissistic, pathological, dangerously immature, ignorant, unreasonable, easily provoked, vengeful, and just about every other human failing mentioned in the bible and the DSM.
And he has complete, unlimited, unrestrained, absolute authority to launch an all-out nuclear war at any time for any reason. He doesn't even need a reason. There are no curbs at all on him. Any time he feels like, whenever he gets pissed off enough at the world, at any moment he starts to feel the walls close in, he actually can press the button and nothing can stop him. There are no checks and balances. The secret service would be duty-bound to shoot anyone who tried to hinder him, even the vice-president. He can bring about the total destruction of the planet on a whim. Think about that for a moment.
Suddenly precipitous withdrawal from Syria seems like pretty small potatoes.

My immediate thought was, 'Surely someone other than Trump must have overriding control of something as important as a nuclear strike.'
Then I thought, 'But what if there isn't such a someone?' and immediately headed outside to dig a bunker.
But being a hot day, and with the ground in my garden being rock-hard, I dropped the shovel and tried to rationalize the matter.
And thought, 'Hang on. Given that Jim Mattis seems to be an extremely well-thought-of, solid, sensible guy, and given that his position must afford him some oversight of the whole nuclear weapons system, and given that he considers Pentagon people to be his close family (he never married)...well, it just seems logical that he would not bow out and leave Trump's tiny trigger finger un-monitored unless he was confident that some sort of fail-safe system existed.
That's my hope, anyway. Though I still might dig that hole...

This stunning portrait was gifted to Trump at Christmas by the neo-Nazi 'Rise Above' Movement, but while obviously pleased, he sent it back with a polite request to first 'make the hair bigger and add some more medals'.
Let's play dress-ups ...

I'm totally confident that President Trump isn't crazy enough to call a full nuclear strike.
The Washington Post - Trump threatens to shut down southern border as government funding stalemate drags on
December 28
With the partial government shutdown headed toward its second week and no resolution in sight, President Trump on Friday issued a string of tweets in which he again vowed to close the entire U.S. border with Mexico and halt aid to several Latin American countries unless Democrats agree to his demand for billions of dollars in wall funding.

And no-one thinks this petulant, blackmailing POS might push the button?

kingdragonfly: I now have 45 seconds. I won't take them all. But it is repugnant to me and astonishing to me that during Christmas -- I like to call them "the holiday season" to be inclusive -- but during Christmas because the majority always wants to just call it Christmas.
That during Christmas, a time in which we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, a Jesus Christ who had to flee for his life with Mary and Joseph, thank God there wasn't a wall that stopped him from seeking refuge in Egypt. Thank God that wall wasn't there. And thank God there wasn't an administration like this, or he would have too, have perished on the 28th, on the Day of Innocents, when Herod ordered the murder of every child under 2 years of age.
Maybe I haven't gone a lot to Bible School. But I know that part. Thank God. Shame on everybody that separates children and allows them to stay at the other side of the border, fearing death. Fearing hunger. Fearing sickness. Shame on us for wearing our badge of Christianity during Christmas and allow the secretary to come here and lie.
Quoted this because it's the truth. These "Christians" are only "Christians" when convenient to collect a vote, when convenient to their racism, when convenient to the their pocket.
