Perhaps. But I would have supported such a Bill even under Obama, one of the least likely presidents to launch a first strike. We just never know whom the people might vote for. Even if we trust that Trump would never do such a thing, what about the president who follows in his footsteps. Nukes are serious business and not some partisan football.

I can't imagine that Bill has a hope in hell of being passed into law.
If a rogue country like North Korea launches a nuclear strike on the U.S. what is the U.S. supposed to do? Maybe the Democrats would be satisfied to moan about what a terrible tragedy it is and hope it doesn't happen again.
The smart thing to do would be put North Korea out of commission permanently with a massive blast that would eliminate them from the planet! Not only to put a stop to their aggression but to set an example of what will happen if anyone else is contemplating a similar attack.
Maybe many of the countries of the world don't uderstand just how devastating a nuclear blast is. But countries like the U.S., Russia, the UK. India, haven't and have refrained from using them in spite of threats that have been levelled against them. I wouldn't trust Iran and China not to try it! Or Pakistan or any other Muslim country that achieves nuclear power.

If Trump wants to start a nuke war..no one is going to be able to stop him. It goes to the character of the man.. He should realize that doing it his way...is only a song. Not an excuse to trample over who ever stands in his way. He does not even need evidence of a threat.... as FACTS and reason are not relevant to him.
The rest of the planet sees him for the danger he potentially is. He is ruled by his ego narcissism. and is not likely to accept anything that does not fit into his world view.

Donny and I were chatting a couple of nights ago. He told me that he's pressing the button on 6 Feb.

Those of you that have unfinished business best get to it.

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about Push Button Day.

Donny also told me that all the people who are going around purposely stirring up sh!t to incite disorder (the ones that manage to survive the blast and radiation, that is) will be shot and eaten. Martial law: The great leveler.

WHY would Trump want to start a nuke war? How is that compatible with his other plans?

chickens got teeth?
