I understand the point, but POTUS can't independently launch nukes. If a President gave a strike authorization based on unhinged reasoning, people aren't going to blindly follow that order. This is why I'm far more concerned about the promise of Clinton's foreign policy. Congress, even when Clinton wins the election, should start taking back some of its power.

But it depends on his advisors and staff. And what he presented so far in that department is as nutty and unhinged as he himself.

Seriously, there's plenty to dislike (hate) about Trump, but suggesting he's more likely than the neo-con Clinton to deploy first strike nuclear weapons is shear lunacy.

You want to rethink that?

What? What did you say?


Why the fuck didn't anyone tell me I am living amongst such a specie??

The singular of species is species.

Specie is money in coins.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
