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.

“In a strategic SHTF They could have minutes to get the Commander”

Minutes?
How long did it take the lion of the Senate Ted Kennedy to respond in a crisis?

Five weeks into Biden’s presidency, they are already beginning the effort to remove him.

The Chinese would need to put up big bucks for that, they would find it less expensive to simply modify the code on the sly.

I’m not as worried about Joe Biden having the power to push the button as I am about future Presidents not having that power. or even Joe for that matter. Russia has hypersonic missiles now. There can’t be any democratic process involved in the retaliation process or there will not be a retaliation-there will just be a wiped out America. He has to retain this power.

He seems pretty stiff already and I heard he smells bad?

They need the Russians, they know how to maintain the ancien régime and keep them fresh.

Absolutely not! It is a terrible idea to place control of the military in the hands of Nancy Pelosi and the DNC.

Terrible idea. If he can’t perform his duties remove him. DO not under any circumstances move power that belongs to the commander in chief to multiple people.

Well, if it's any consolation, our enemies have always been held at bay by our submarines. They might get a first strike against land targets, but they are guaranteed to get a counter strike from the Boomers. And hopefully some of our allies.

Although now days they all seem to be a bunch of limp wristed cowards. The once, Great Britain of Winston Churchill is now filled with a bunch of cry babies that would probably go fetal in the corner. And the sleeping giant, the champions of freedom that was once the U.S. is filled with emotionally unstable ignoramuses and homos. And person's so evil, vile, and corrupt that they sell baby body parts for profit.

It's all so unbearabley depressing.

One good shot might jolt a La Palma landslide, which would take out the entire east coast of North America. East of Cumbre Vieja, opposite from the slide, would also take a major hit.

Probably the communists will choose Stacey Abrams to carry the briefcase and AOC to make the final decisions on which blue state or county is the primary target...

Remember how they use to make fun of Reagan for his age???

Good times. Good times.

And Biden wouldn’t nuke anyone. He HATES this nation and wants to see it destroyed.
