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 Maybe no legal check, but I certainly hope the US military that oversees such launches have their own fair share of Stanislav Petrovs.
