This may have something to do with it:

Approve: 37.7 Disapprove: 57.2

Ana Navarro, as usual, uses interesting metaphors.

My first order as President was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before....

Trumps latest tweet. Just how can anyone believe a word he says? He tells such porkies.

Wtf is he going to do when dept of defence come knocking for the arsenal he mentions in his tweet? Tell them Obama or Clinton hid it?

Fuck me how does he still have supporters? Or family, if that was my pops I'd be on the missing list.

Haven't seen Tiffany for a while...

This is an April Newsweek piece. You might find it interesting even though it's a few months old.

...Hopefully we will never have to use this power, but there will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world!

Given what he said about North Korea, WTF is he trying to say?

Anyway - how many nuclear missiles do you use? When do you use them?

A missile hits Guam. No one dies. Do you fire a nuclear missile back?

A nuclear missile hits an American city. Do you fire 10 back?

Just to remind you:

"And if the British Air Force drops two, three or four thousand kilos of bombs, then we will now drop 150,000, 180,000, 230,000, 300,000 or 400,000 kilos, or more, in one night. If they declare that they will attack our cities on a large scale, we will erase theirs! We will put a stop to the game of these night-pirates, as God is our witness. The hour will come when one or the other of us will crumble, and that one will not be National Socialist Germany"

He probably ordered it from China, like his ties, too.

There used to be a tale, orlantina, about how the native tribes in the Amazon originally counted - 'One, Two, Three, more than three etc - because it really wasn't important to them to count if the object was 'more than three/lots'.

I don't know the truth of the tale but it strikes me that it's a good parallel for nukes. Except that in that case it's 'more than zero'.There are reasons why no-one has used them in anger since it was discovered what they did. Sad

FBI raids former Trump campaign manager Manafort's home
mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1AP1OR

FBI agents seized documents and other materials from the suburban Virginia home of Paul Manafort, U.S. President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, during a predawn raid as part of a special counsel's investigation into possible Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

The raid, authorized by a search warrant, was conducted without advance warning on July 26, a day after Manafort met with staff members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, the Post said, citing unidentified people familiar with the probe.

AcrossthePond55 · 09/08/2017 16:03

Maybe Scrotus likes to watch Bannon suck his own dick.

I have to admit, for the first time since all this willy-waiving started between KYU and Scrotus I'm actually feeling a bit nervous. I think it's been brought home to me exactly how unhinged they both are. I think there have been times that I've regarded Scrotus as a dancing buffoon (or should that be baboon) and been able to soothe my fears because of those thoughts. But this isn't healthcare nor is it tax reform, both of which could be fixed by Congress or our next president. No, this shit is a bit too real, we're talking nuclear annihilation of large populations here.

Remember this?

“At a very young age (27), he was able to assume power. A lot of people, I'm sure, tried to take that power away, whether it was his uncle or anybody else. And he was able to do it. So, obviously, he's a pretty smart cookie,”

Idiot.

This is where he'll need all the help he can get from the Intelligence people he's been alienating.

Chugging wine?

Seems like a fair idea to me.
