Symbolic 'Doomsday Clock' moves closer to midnight
MSN AFP ^ | January 26, 2017

Comments by US President Donald Trump and a "darkening global security landscape" have made the world less safe, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists warned Thursday, moving its symbolic "Doomsday Clock" 30 seconds closer to midnight. The clock -- which serves as a metaphor for how close humanity is to destroying the planet -- was last changed in 2015, from five to three minutes to midnight. It is now set at two and a half minutes to midnight.

Of course giving all that money to Iran and that stupid deal did not move the clock at all. Shows what BS this thing is.

The ‘Doomsday Clock’ is pretty phony. They move it up and back at will. Sounds like they’re guided by Leftist mentality. THAT in itself moves us closer to The End.

Yet another overused and tiresome scare tactic used by leftists to get their way.

As far as I’m concerned there is less chance of war with Russia with Trump than with that war-mongering harpy.

This is just more leftists with their hair on fire.

We should build a “Liberal BS Clock” and then hook a Black and Decker up to it and spin the damn hands at 500 RPM!

Fake news, fake group, fake science, never moves the clock toward midnight unless a Democrat is in office, same-ol’ stuff ....

Utterly predictable - and contemptible.

Of course, they can’t move the hands to midnight, because then they’d have nothing, no guilt, no fear, to keep the absolution dollars coming from the snowflakes...

You called their bluff, SMGFan.

The fake-news MSM only pays attention to the Doomsday Clock during periods in which a Republican is in the White House.

Just like “the homeless,” and “the gap between rich and poor.”

Looks to me like it’s getting closer to noontime. Noon on a bright sunny day.
