House Democrats ask Biden to give up sole power to launch nuclear bomb
NY Post ^ | 25 Feb 2021 | Emily Jacobs

Over thirty House Democrats are asking President Biden to consider renouncing his authority to launch nuclear weapons.

In terms of alternatives, the two California Democrats suggested a number of options.

One would be to require that the vice president and speaker of the House of Representatives concur with the president’s decision to strike.

Another option would be requiring certifications from the secretary of defense that the strike order was valid, as well as the attorney general that it was legal.

Once Biden is defanged in this way, he will be wrapped in warm towels, and transported somewhere safe... away from all those White Supremes fans. Ain’t no mountain high enough... then maybe Nan will use her 25th Amendment powers to save Biden from domestic terrorists, by having him stuffed and mounted. Weird, I know, but what is going to actually happen, will make this appear normal.

What part of Commander-in-Chief do they not understand?

Hmm...two of them cite Trump’s public feud with Kim as justification but it suddenly becomes an issue now? Nothing suspicious there. I really don’t think it’s an improvement taking that power away from a senile, gibbering old man and giving it to a senile, gibbering old woman like Pelosi. This has become an issue for one simple reason: everything we’ve been saying about Beijing Joe is true and it’s become undeniable.

Yeah, let’s give control to the democrat maniacs in congress. The ones that tear up SOTU speeches on live television. The control freaks that want to suppress free speech. The megalomaniacs who want to legislate permanent control of the govt to themselves.

Yeah, all we need is Pelosi with the codes; to nuke or not to nuke - hesitate, hesitate.

Interesting that there are a few democrats who put the good of our country ahead of political considerations.

So uncle joe might mistake the nuclear codes for his bedtime and nap schedule and accidentally launch a nuclear strike against Alaska.

The future when only Biden has the Nuclear Code:

“Come on man! I know China just took out New York City, Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles. Let me think! I’ll have it. Give me more time. Three, ffffour, sixty nine, ttttwelve . . . I know I’ll remember it . . .” BOOM!

” Seems like a huge risk for existence of the human race to depend upon the whims of one person”

President:
General Turgidson! When you instituted the human reliability tests, you *assured* me there was *no* possibility of such a thing *ever* occurring!

Gen Turgidson:
Well, I, uh, don’t think it’s quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir.

YES!
The question remains, is this coming from the Bernie boys?

“Immediate retaliation and mutually assured destruction are the two key components of avoiding nuclear annihilation.”

—Gen Turgidson:
Ahem... The Duty Officer asked General Ripper to confirm the fact that he *had* issued the go code, and he said, uh, “Yes gentlemen, they are on their way in, and nobody can bring them back. For the sake of our country, and our way of life, I suggest you get the rest of SAC in after them. Otherwise, we will be totally destroyed by Red retaliation. Uh, my boys will give you the best kind of start, 1400 megatons worth, and you sure as hell won’t stop them now, uhuh. Uh, so let’s get going, there’s no other choice. God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural... fluids. God bless you all” and he hung up.

“Obviously China wants control of our nukes.”

Not exactly control, more like slow any response to the glacial pace of the US congress.

More time to set up their equipment.

Probably a good idea for any president let alone this senile unelected president. Seems like a huge risk for existence of the human race to depend upon the whims of one person.

NO.

In case of conventional attack or nuclear attack (by the Soviet Union against NATO forces in Europe, or by China against Taiwan, or by Iran against Israel/UK/US/Europe, or North Korea against Korea-US forces) the military MUST HAVE the ability to respond immediately and effectively.

Delays (er, decisions) by committee WILL FAIL. HAVE ALWAYS FAILED.

You think Pelosi is capable of any more of a rational military response than AOC? Hell, Hillary (and the WH staff) had to drag Obama in off of the golf course to get “permission” to attack Bin Laden’s house in a single helicopter strike by one SEAL Team!

The exaggerated “all of humanity will die” canard is wrong as well.

The fawning demoncraps are sure giving dopey joe a vote of confidence here, aren't they?

Imagine you step into the ring with a chinee boxer but your own moves and counter punches have to be cleared by committee.

Yeah, America is toast.

[ The Dems themselves are pretty much admitting that their selected President is a senile frontman who can’t be trusted with actual responsibilities. Kind of stunning, really, if we were still living in a sane country. Which of course we’re not. ]

This would be the perfect opportunity for states to have a vote of no confidence against the federal government.
