I share in that but what I haven't seen is any discussion about how beleagured Presidents start wars. Cheetolinni could start lobbing nuclear bombs.
I was fearful of this a few months ago. I'm fucking terrified just about now.
Anyone else?

Are you thinking people will stop him? I would like to hope but nobody has stopped anything he's done so far.

(12,344 posts)Could start conventional bombing North Korea anytime, but I think he won't. He works off old scripts, and he doesn't have one for this.

(27,985 posts)If we aren't going to use them. He could just start and end it by obliterating all of Korea.
It's unprecedented, but hasn't everything thing been unprecedented lately?

(27,985 posts)And I'm not being sarcastic. I have to go to sleep soon and I would love to enjoy sweet dreams.
The dreams of schadenfreude are preferable to the nuclear nightmares I so often have nowadays.

Right now the Mueller investigation offers our best chance of removing him from office (or of his resigning) before he has years more to put us, and the entire world, at risk.
The news from Mueller today is GREAT news.

I want to bask. I wish I weren't such a worry wart.
