Planet Earth's 'Doomsday Clock' Lurches Closer to Midnight Thanks to President Trump

The planet moved significantly closer to a catastrophic event this week as Donald Trump assumed the U.S. presidency, according to a new report.

The planet's Doomsday Clock is now two-and-a-half minutes to midnight, which represents a global catastrophe. It's the closest the measure has been to midnight since the successful testing of hydrogen bombs in 1953. The new position represents a 30-second lurch forward from the previous position.

A group of nuclear scientists affiliated with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists determine when to move the clock in response to a number of threats from nuclear security to climate change.

Good!

The more unhinged other countries think Trump is the better it is for the U.S. Gives us leverage.

My Dad cancelled his subscription to Time back in the 70’s because of their false crap.

This “doomsday clock” bullsh*t has been around since as long as I can remember. It hasn’t been right yet. Not even twice a day. I find if ****ing strange that these ***holes didn’t move the hands when Obonzo made it possible for the raghead Iranians to develop nuclear weapons. They’re just a bunch of old, FOS weirdoes.

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.

From Watchmen

Janet Black: Doctor Manhattan as you know the Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock face analogizing humankind's proximity to extinction, midnight representing the threat of nuclear war. As of now it stands at four minutes to midnight. Would you agree that we are that close to annihilation?

Jon Osterman: My father was a watch maker. He abandoned it when Einstein discovered time is relative. I would only agree that a symbolic clock is as nourishing to the intellect as photograph of oxygen to a drowning man.

The “Doomsday Clock” only measures the status of the Left in America. When the Left is in retreat the clock is moved closer to midnight (DOOM!) When the left takes over it is moved back. What it forecasts is the nearness of doom for the left.

Well, it used to be at least decent...I read it in the seventies; maybe I was too young to catch the leftist slant but it seemed much more like a straight-up news magazine then. Newsweak, on the other hand, always sucked.

Strange. I’m sure I read at Time Magazine in the 70’s which said the next Ice Age was coming.
