Washington (January 24, 2017) – Today, Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and Congressman Ted W. Lieu (CA-33) and introduced the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act of 2017. This legislation would prohibit the President from launching a nuclear first strike without a declaration of war by Congress. The crucial issue of nuclear “first use” is more urgent than ever now that President Donald Trump has the power to launch a nuclear war at a moment’s notice.

Their brains are being eaten by the worms in them. They will soon lose the ability to reason... oops... too late.

[Crucial]

The Dems and the MSM are whipping up the base into a frenzy.

That old ba$tard would be able to dig up truffles with that schnoz!

[Kickass Conservative]

Doesn’t matter. It won’t see the light of day.

Markey in the morning goes, “CUCK - A - DOODLE - DOO!”

Time to break out the doomsday clock the 80 are back and it 5 minutes till midnight.

Sounds like a lot of malarky to me.

Senator Ed Malarkey's experience in the dreaded private sector was limited to having driven an ice cream truck (too much like honest work for the likes of Markey!).

Here is Boston talker Howie Carr's take on one of Markey's idiot ideas from a couple of years ago:

A numbingly stupid idea from Mr. Frosty

Trump to Dems - you guys went nuclear in the Senate first so we're going to take your current position as a declaration of war and go nuclear now so all my nominees can be confirmed in a single vote.

As far as other nukes, you're too stupid to know when or when not to use them - thank your deities that I have good people around me.
