Considering the assclownish slant to this article, is Asiatimes CCP owned and operated?

I can imagine Biden at one of those rare News Conferences talking to a reporter; “They won’t let me hold on to it”
......Hold on to what, Mr. Biden?
“The Football, the Nuclear Football! My assistants won’t even let me see it, let alone hold on to it. But Jill says I should worry about it, cause she knows where to find it!”

.....Suddenly Jen Psaki runs onstage, blocking the presidents view and shouts :This News Conference is OVER! The President has a scheduling conflict and APOLOGIZES!!”

Wasn’t Clinton separated from the football and his biscuit for several hours at one point in his presidency?

The current nominee for ATF director was alleged to have lost his service weapon. A half dozen other higher profile cases of federal law enforcement officers losing track of their service weapons (leading to death in the case of Kate Steinle), and the Speaker of the House allegedly lost a laptop leading to federal agents raiding the home of an Alaska couple. They won’t punish their own, no matter how bad the f**k up, I don’t believe “the nuclear football” would be any different. Not even so much as a oopsie daisy.

any guess how many rounds Pence’s secret service guards were packing? Not like the “rioters” were going to walk up and take the football

Several HOURS? Probably more like seven minutes for a BJ.

What a dumb, over-the-top article. Secret Service protective details carry fully automatic weapons. If the “rioters” actually tried to seize the nuclear football, Pence’s Secret Service detail would have shot them all to death.

I vaguely remember the story and the MSM suppressed it nicely. I think it was in the book dereliction of duty?

My sister-in-law tells me Trump never gave it up. And she is never wrong - she told me so herself.

“as rioters broke into the building.”

I didn’t see anyone break into the building. They were allowed in or escorted in by the Capital police.

Having the nuclear football in plain sight and raindead Biden in charge is SCARY.

I hope they keep it out of Biden’s reach. He may think it’s a desk phone and start punching in numbers on the keypad.

I know this to be a fact.

Possession of the launch codes is not enough.

One must have access to the MEECN network, and only military personnel have that access. And ONE person is not enough.

This article is criminally stupid. And besides, Biden probably already sold the nuclear football to the CCP.

Biden’s more concerned about having Liberty Medical on speed-dial than some pesky briefcase
