A number of Dems want to take the nuclear football

It's true.


Feb 24, 2021, 2:44 PM

But it's not solely because of Biden. They think it's too much authority for one person to have. Trust me, this is a "let's make sure we don't have another Trump with it" move.

"Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president’s judgment."

This is over Trump.

I'll add, that was the ONLY issue I agreed with Trump on.

He is alot of things but warmonger isn't one of them.

Re: It's true.


Feb 24, 2021, 2:58 PM

He wasn't, likely because he was too lazy (war takes work). He certainly was unhinged though, and maybe Biden isn't mentally all there as well to have this sole power.

Perhaps we need a new system...

2024 purple level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It sure is work teaching you to read.


Feb 24, 2021, 3:25 PM

I didn't say he wanted to start new wars. I just said he was lazy and wouldn't want to bother with it. He was likely the laziest president in the modern era. The time he actually put in real work was quite minimal compared to previous presidents.

All I'm saying is that this is their reasoning.

They overall do kind of have a point. Should one person really have all that?

Probably not but I don't know how you come up with a system where several people have to sign off when only seconds may matter.

I'd have to see the plan before I could agree or disagree with changes. Jmho.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah, that's the rub.


Feb 24, 2021, 3:26 PM [ in reply to Re: Which part? ]

Perhaps instead have more of a failsafe kill switch kind of deal by the Joint Chiefs if a president goes bonkers and tries to start mashing buttons?

Assuming that doesn't already secretly exist.

The first president to not start a new war and this is over trump. LOL

You see, this is where Trumpism is a disease


Feb 24, 2021, 3:33 PM

You people have such a poor grasp of U.S. history, you believe this BS when he and his right wing sources tell you this.

Trump isn't even the first president in MODERN history to not start a new war. Eisenhower holds that title. U.S. military engagement began in Vietnam in 1964. The Korean War started under Truman.

Wow. You superbly suck at history.

As for the very FIRST president not to start a new war, that remains squarely with George Washington.

How do you not know this?

This is like the idiots who claim "Trump accomplished more than any president in history..." Is that you, too?

Oh yeah, one last edit because I know this one will sting: Obama didn't start a new war. Thanks for playing.

I can see why people would be worried but again, he is no longer President and no longer has access to blow the world up.

Personally, as I stated above, I'd bet there is already a process in place to keep a president from suddenly going rogue. A process that those dem congress people probably aren't even privy too.
