God damn female presidents am I right? Now nukes are being bandied about in the midst of the VP getting into Twitter fights with randoms about trans people during national security meetings. I can’t believe wait what? Oh. It’s the grown ass men with impulse control and emotional problems. I was told that women would get us into WWIII.

Our last election just showed that by and large, uneducated white men and the elderly would rather get raped by an old white man than helped by a young black woman
I agree with the sentiment but the word young is doing a lot of work here, Kamala is 60 years old ..
She young at heart compared to Trump who is, by definition, a grouchy old fuck.
Well this is true, she's definitely not an elderly dementia afflicted ghoul.
ngl, if she's sixty then she's doing something right

Hate to break it to you, but for the first time, the younger generation skewed Trump. In fact every demographic skewed Trump. This cancer is affecting all of society, not just a single demographic.
👏👏👏
The Peter Pan Party doing what boys that never grew up do best.
Trump really wants to do a nuke on something. That would secure some kind of place for him in history, I'm sure.
Bombing Japan is a big dark spot on our history. As was our treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII. Basically everyone agrees on that.
We retconned history to say dropping the big bombs would have averted many more casualties, and maybe that's true, but really a.) who knows and b.) big difference between civilian casualties and military casualties.
Definitely a war crime. It also most likely brought about anime which is objectively worse.
MAGAts don't feel remorse for what we did to Japan. I used to work with one who used the interment camps to justify migrants being separated from their children and thrown in cages. His logic was that "people weren't up in arms about it then, why do they care about it now?"

Not that anyone will be around to learn about it.....
Just an fyi, last time he really wanted to use a nuke. No one would let him so they convinced him to use a MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) instead.

Surely now at least some few of the people in authority who have ignored Trump's grossly obvious unfitness for office will do something, right?
Right?
Helpful guide for spur of the moment vacation destinations.
As a life long new jersey citizen I'm glad someone finally finds us important.

I voted for Trump because he's the PRO PEACE President!
Bigly so. Big guy crying. Big big. Big guy. Bigly yes.
Trump has been itching to be the second person in history to nuke a population. He doesn't realize what it means because he's a complete fucking idiot.
No, he knows. I don't think he cares, because they're not him. You fail to understand the mind of a narcissist - other people are not people, and the ones who actively say that they dislike you or what you stand for might as well be ants on the sidewalk for all the thought you give about them, ever.

He's a psychopath, he has no empathy. He doesn't care at all.
Fuck
You really can't believe a word someone like this says. They've all read the Art of War, and whatever they claim is going to be strategic misdirection.
Reminds me of his previous term talking about nuking the hurricane.
Shame it was an empty threat; these hurricanes won't learn otherwise.
Trump says: “nothing is off the table”
Fox News: Perfect Clickbait lets claim considering nukes
The New Republic for some reason: Yes lets repost fox news clickbait

Gleefully sounding the trumpet for the end of the world
Can somebody please please stop him before he kills us all?
None of his Cabinet will. All of them have been chosen mostly to make sure they don't get in his way when his Wormtongue gives him ideas.
Please let this be a time he listens to someone sane.
USA: We drop nukes so you don't have to
USA: We start wars because that’s the best way to prevent war.
That surely won't lead to horrible outcomes.
He might want to reconsider that given that his gutting of DEI programs cut funding to the company that makes urchins and the US is currently unable to make any new nuclear weapons
