Why aren\u2019t you?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

This might sound like a Tom Clancy novel or some shitty Steven Segal movie, but this is how it actually happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day you took office, a dude in a military uniform walked into the Capitol with Barack Obama, who was still officially President of the United States. He was carrying a leather-bound aluminum briefcase holding the codes and equipment needed to launch nuclear war. They call it the \u201cfootball\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At exactly 12 pm, control of that briefcase was transferred to literally the last person on Earth who should ever have access to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can only imagine Barack Obama holding on to the handle as you tried to pull it from his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I probably shouldn\u2019t even be telling you this, but getting your hands on that football also gave you complete authority to launch the 7,000+ nuclear weapons in the US arsenal. So if you like get really bored one night and decide to drop one, NO ONE would be able to stop you. Not Congress. Not the military. Not even Ivanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank God so far we\u2019ve been lucky and someone was smart enough to have that little red button on your desk rewired so that every time you press it some poor asshole in a butler\u2019s uniform brings you a Coke<\/a>, instead of\u2026 well.. you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But just because you haven\u2019t started a nuclear war yet doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not going to. In fact, the experts agree<\/a> that it\u2019s getting increasingly likely that you or someone else will. With you in office, the Doomsday Clock<\/a> is now at two-and-a-half minutes to midnight and ticking fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet most people don’t really seem all that bothered. Most<\/em> people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the press, politicians and late-night comedians<\/a> are all focused on things like your attempt to screw 24 million people out of healthcare<\/a>, the role the FBI<\/a> played in the election, and your ignorance about US history<\/a>, former US Defense Secretary, Professor Emeritus and global nuclear expert Bill Perry is shitting himself<\/a> at the thought of you and that briefcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the rest of us should be, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Perry, \u201cAn all out general nuclear war between the United States and Russia would mean no less than the end of civilization.\u201d And with guys like you and Putin in charge, there\u2019s good reason to worry about that actually happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a short list of some of the terrifyingly ridiculous things you\u2019ve said so far about \u201cnukes\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with MSNBC in March, you said: \u201cSomebody hits us within ISIS, you wouldn\u2019t fight back with a nuke?\u201d Um, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you said, if the U.S. isn\u2019t going to use them, \u201cthen why are we making them?\u201d Good question, and great reason to get rid of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the subject of possibly using nuclear weapons against Europe (EUROPE!!!), you said: \u201cEurope is a big place. I\u2019m not going to take cards off the table. We have nuclear capability.\u201d No, don’t do it! If you bomb Europe, where are you going to find your next wife?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On December 22nd, you tweeted<\/a> that \u201cThe United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes.\u201d Yeah\u2026 Merry Christmas to you, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when talking about the situation in the Korean Peninsula, you showed just how ignorant you really are by saying: \u201cNow, wouldn\u2019t you rather in a certain sense have Japan have nuclear weapons when North Korea has nuclear weapons?\u201d *Facepalm*. Well actually it doesn\u2019t matter who pushes the button \u2018cause even if there was a \u201ccontained conflict\u201d between Japan and North Korea, or let\u2019s say Pakistan and India, it would produce enough soot and smoke to create the coldest temperatures<\/a> experienced in the last 1,000 years. So millions of people would die and it would be too cold to play golf, you idiot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like you, Bill Perry has a lot of terrifying things to say. Unfortunately, unlike with you, very few people are listening. There are over 7.5 billion people on the planet. Fewer than 6,000 of them follow him<\/a> on Twitter. You say terrifying things every day and 29 million people<\/a> listen. Sigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess there’s not much we can do except hope that you pull a Bill Clinton and lose the nuclear codes<\/a>. I know, I know, that sounds reeeeeaally<\/em> bad. But it wasn’t a big deal. I mean, it’s not like HE was ever going to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy your Coke,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
