Interesting fact of the day: There is absolutely no legal check on a presidents ability to launch a nuclear missile.
That means for 4 years trump literally could have launched one at any moment on a whim and there was absolutely nothing stopping him other than his own choice not to do so.
Honestly as scary as that sounds, and just as scary that Biden, a senile old coot, has the same access... it amazes me neither of these guys did just for the fuck of it. I guess thank god they have some sense of self preservation cause neither of these twits are holding back for our sake....
@freemo
There's a huge difference between an old apparatchik and a psychopathic loose cannon (Biden and Trump, respectively).
Also, other senior apparatchiks in the US Military Industrial Complex, e.g., Chairman of the JCOS Gen Milley, seem to have prevented worse already at the end of Trump's presidency.
Another Trump administration may replace these Generals by the equivalent of Lakeitels.
@tatzelbrumm Evil comes in many forms.. I do not disagree in the least that there is a huge difference between Biden's manifestation of evil and Trump's
@freemo
Then I recommend caution when comparing the Democrat establishment's ℵ₀ level of corruption with the Trump crowd's ℵ₁ level of corruption, which is infinitely worse.
(You're capable of making that distinction, so take care not to give those who can't distinguish degrees of corruption the impression that they're the same.)
@freemo
True, that … I try to avoid "evil" because it sounds like a moral category of religious believers.
@tatzelbrumm Fair.. immoral, piece of shit,, ,douche nozzle, douche cannoe ... Take your pick :)
@freemo
I pick "corrupt", i.e., contemptuous of laws and common decency.
@tatzelbrumm I said absolutely nothing about corruption... there are many ways to be evil other than corruption.
