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.

When Russia perfect its hypersonic missiles, we won’t have enough time to respond. It will take 5 minutes to wake Biden up. Another ten minutes to convince him of the problem, and . . . too late. When Russia attacks, there won’t be a response.

“Mr Trump, Mr. Trump!!

I have some good news, .. and I have some very bad news!.”

“Well, alright them, give me the good news first.”

“North Korea just launched nuclear missiles against New York, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, and Boston ...”

“Damn! Well, but what’s the bad news?”

“They missed.”

Well, this is worrisome. Reminds me of the doctor at a conference who was speaking on emergency medicine. He showed an xray of a patient with a knife in his scull. The doctor said, ‘well, this was a worrisome injury’.

This should be the biggest thing in the news right now.

30 D’s just came out and called Biden crazy, and that he should give up the nukes.

New Q: If Biden gives up the nukes, who gets them?

How totally, totally f’d up.

—”When Russia attacks, there won’t be a response.”

“General “Buck” Turgidson: “Plan R is an emergency war plan in which a lower echelon commander may order nuclear retaliation after a sneak attack if the normal chain of command is disrupted. You approved it, sir. You must remember. Surely you must recall, sir, when Senator Buford made that big hassle about our deterrent lacking credibility. The idea was for plan R to be a sort of retaliatory safeguard.”

But, you see, these 30 anonymous democrats don’t worry about Biden going insane and using nukes against the world. They are deathly afraid that when China, North Korea or Iran attacks, that Biden would use nukes against their communist allies.

Hence, Pelosi and their Attorney General needing “votes” on the Commissioners Panel.
