oh raffing out roud

No joke. The graphic in the article identifies 1984, one of the four times when the clock showed three minutes or less, as the year “US-Soviet relations reach lowest point.”

So US-Soviet relations in 1984 were lower than they were during, I don’t know, the Berlin Blockade, the Korean War, or the Cuban Missile Crisis? Oh yeah, there were Democrats in the White House during those events.

And which way was the clock moving when Clinton and Obama’s appeasement gave Kim Jong Un the green light to progress with his nuke program? My guess is counter clockwise towards peace and happiness.

BAS, like the Federation of American Scientists, is a left-wing activist group. Their PR stunts are not based upon any genuine “science” but upon the perceived needs of Leftard agendas.

They have it so close to midnight mostly due to trying to rile up people over the global warming scam.

Oh my God.

[I’ve seen the clock, as it was in the neighborhood where I went to college. There’s several of them, and it is constructed one level above the Playskool variety.]

There you go again using facts and common sense to counter the “experts”. :)

Actually, to be fair, they did move it closer to midnight during most of Clinton’s and Obama’s presidencies.

[backwoods-engineer]

Bullcrap since 1947.

[moovova]

Let me know when it’s a quarter after.

Came here for this gif

Bullsnot!

The "Doomsday Clock" doesn't "move". A pathetic collection of pusillanimous communists wet their panties while issuing anti-American propaganda.

Oh that Global Warming

[The Pack Knight]

I’ve had that stuck in my head since I first saw the headline.

But....but can’t we slow it down by giving this fine organization a lot of money?

The B2’s on Guam have to leave. They are causing it to tip over.

[mrsmith]

Ha!

I thought it said “Doomsday Chuck”...
