holy fuck. someone stop him.
also, this is basically a blurb for a season finale in TV Guide. he's a television producer.
"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" is an incredibly frightening thing for any nation's leader to say, but the US president has enough nuclear weapons at his disposal to destroy the world many times over. every single country in the world should do something. we're in "kick the US out of NATO" territory. "arrest American embassy personnel" territory. "seize all Trump family assets" territory. now or never.
i'm glad my wife and kid have other citizenships they can fall back on. i, however, do not lol. straight to the internment camp, i guess.
@peter The new season of Black Mirror looks wild, man
@peter The fucked thing is there are still even odds this is all bluster. The especially fucked thing is that it feels like anyone who could do something is treating it like it is 100 percent bluster and will not do anything to rein him in.
@samitchdoo yeah, but **threatening** it is a crime itself. same way pointing a gun at someone is a crime. it doesn't matter if you weren't gonna pull the trigger.
@peter Absolutely. Dude should be locked in a room and we should throw away the room. And I thought that before his second term. I just think anyone who could enforce that kind of thing is gonna sit on their hands. It fucking sucks.
@peter "will the world end tonight? WHO KNOWS! Tune in at 8EST/7CST"

@peter

Jeez โ€” whoโ€™s gonna be the one to invoke 25th ammendment

@FlockOfCats @peter Surely thereโ€™s a body guard who is supposed to step in and do the needful in times like this.
@peter That really does sound like someone psyching himself up to use nukes. Even Alex Jones is calling for the cabinet to "25th amendment his ass" because he's so clearly of his rocker.
@mkristensson lol he lost Alex Jones oh no
@peter If there was ever a moment where the whole world needed a Jamie Lannister, it is now.
@peter
He talkin' bout the US of A.
@peter Trump cannot do anything worse to Iran than the Mongols did. Iranian civilization is a force so powerful and enduring that it cannot die regardless of the number of conquests and invasions.
@peter The military can stop him any time it wants to. His continued tantrums are a deliberate choice.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

@peter
After these words I wouldn't be surprised when Trump orders a nuklear strike. Especially since he wants it so badly ever since they didn't let him nuke a hurricane.
