Congressional lawmakers raised concerns about President Donald Trump's ability to use nuclear weapons during a hearing Capitol Hill Tuesday amid bipartisan anxiety over launch process procedures and indications that the administration has considered the option of a first strike on North Korea.
Members of the Senate foreign affairs committee called into question a decades-old presidential authority to deploy nuclear weapons in what was the first congressional hearing on nuclear authorization in decades.
"We are concerned that the President of the United States is so unstable, is so volatile, has a decision-making process that is so quixotic that he might order a nuclear weapons strike that is wildly out of step with US national security interests," said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut.
Sen. Ed Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, echoed those concerns: "Many Americans fear that the President's words could turn into nuclear reality."

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"FBI files from 1976, recently made public under the Freedom of Information Act, confirm the connections between Weatherman, Havana, and Moscow. Weatherman leaders like Mark Rudd traveled illegally to Havana in 1968 to engage in terrorist training. There, camps set up by Soviet KGB Colonel Vadim Kotchergine were educating Westerners both in Marxist philosophy and urban warfare."

If we trusted Obama with them, we could trust the homeless guy in downtown LA with them.
The Left and some GOPe types, have gone over the edge.
Trump has showen a lot of restraint with North Korea. If they aren’t capable of grasping that truth, they are unqualified to discuss these matters.
The ignorance on their part is unmistakable.
‘Cause President Abedin would have been such a better alternative, eh?
Anyone who has even the most basic knowledge of how the process works knows that the President has plenty of steps to take before unilaterally launching nuclear weapons. I guess the liberals want to create the impression that Trump just pushes a button on his desk and the weapons are launched.
Democrats are too unstable to be trusted with feather dusters. All of them.
Being vaporized because Hillary was pissed off at Putin or Xi is fine even if she giggles over killing people (well, Obama bragged he was good at killing people so . . .), but Trump is just crazy enough to launch a retaliatory strike against the Norks and that's proof he's not fit to be in charge
Yeah, because Kim Jong-un is more stable?
Kim murdered his own uncle, his own half-brother, and untold thousands of North Korean citizens!
Kim will have no problem murdering millions of Americans with his own nuclear first strike.
People should be hit in the mouth for saying anything this asinine and stupid after Obama and Hillary.
What do they think is going to happen to the country if they remove a President from office who was elected by people who felt that they have had no voice and that they're the target of derision and disrespect by the establishment left (including the entertainment industry and the media)? Do the left actually think that all those Trump voters are going to start tuning in to the Rachel Maddow show and adopt leftist group-think?
The truth is that the left actually doesn't have any respect for a great swath of America, the swath that doesn't live in urban centers and who haven't been indoctrinated. The left have no respect for anyone whose opinion differs from theirs. The left is convinced of their self-perceived ‘superiority’. To consider opposing views is to accept that they might not be ‘all knowing’ and deserving of a special place in the world. They can't accept this, because they actually think they are better than the rest of us. Ironically, being insular and convinced of the infallibility of your own opinions and world view is a sure sign that you are limited, and significantly less knowledgeable and bright than you think you are.
and yet, you thought and stIll do, that HILLARY WAS/IS OK.
They are just worried that PRESIDENT Trump will actually use a nuke. But that’s why we have them. I could never understand why we didn’t use them in Vietnam, or Iraq.
Elections have consequences.
The Clintons and their co-conspirators in crime and theft.
lol
...and Corker agrees with them from the article that I read.
Yep, Obama was tutored by Bill Ayers, who wanted 20 million Americans (on the other side of his politics) to die. Obama appointed avowed communists; communists have killed scores of millions. Democrats are okey doke (sic) with millions of innocent babies killed in the womb.
Democrats are deadly and evil. They are active enemies of our republic. Tagline.
I’m concerned that leftists are to stupid, deluded, or just plain evil to be allowed to pollute the atmosphere with carbon dioxide.
