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"
