If only we could get him to wear the Kirwood Derby.

They don't need to fire missles. They just need to post on twitter.

I prefer "numpty spoon."

I heard he had the warheads gold plated and the silos lined in gold.

“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off…

(OW MY FUCKING BRAIN LIBULZZZ!!!11!!!)

...in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

Remember when Trump distanced himself from Palin after her similar word salad. I always assumed he thought he might catch what she had. I think he was right.

I never understood that theory. If you could duck and cover from nukes under a desk, why not just make everything like a desk?

Just look at the alleged doctor who allegedly treats him.

It's even worse than than you think. He gave the DOE post to the disinterested moron Rick Perry and severely under staffed it/slashed it's budget as well . If you dare, go to vanityfair.com and read: Why the Scariest Nuclear Threat May Be Coming from Inside the White House. This is one agency where stupiidity plus hubris equal terrifying.

Yeah, Steve can't do that. He's only mastered man-from-Nantucket.

To be fair, the log cabin in Queens where he was born, which he built with his own two hands, didn't have electricity, so they didn't hear the news about Fat Man and Little Boy on the radio the year before. Or something like that.

1) WTF IS JR. DOING WITH NSC DOCUMENTS IN THE FIRST PLACE?2) WHERE DID THEY FIND A CLOWN WHOSE VDQ (VERBAL DIARRHEA QUOTIENT) EXCEEDS THAT OF THE CHEETO IN CHIEF?3) HOW DID THE ABOVE CLOWN EVER GET ON THE NSC???

A bit OT but it galls me to no end that super smug, super shithead S. Gorka is considered a terrorism expert and is interviewed by all the talking heads.

1) He couldn't even get a security clearance and was booted out of the White House2) Foreign Policy shredded his pathetic Ph. D. thesis. Only one fellow Nazi-lover in Hungary granted him his degree, not a committee. He's not an expert in anything beyond beard trimming and bellowing. And, of course, shilling for Trump.

Although it was never explained to us, we were ducking and covering from the flying glass and structural damage that would result from a nuclear blast. Then we could go out and enjoy the end of civilization.

I lived in rural northern Michigan, 200 miles from the closest reasonable target, but they made use do the drills too.

I lived in Belleville, Illinois. It shares a boundary with Scott Air Force Base. We were probably not going to live past the flash.
