Clinton is going to savagely purge the FBI.

Clinton is going to savagely purge the FBI.

It would seem the prudent move since the FBI has decided to interfere in the political process like that.

For a white person his colour is very orange-hued, in the way characteristic of people using fake tanning products.

I've got to wonder, or hope, that the National Command Authority and Obama are feverishly revising our nuclear user procedures to include an ability, if it isn't already there, for someone other than the President to stop a launch order.

The current SOP, as I understand it, emphasizes ability to react quickly to a potential massive first strike over the need to counter a potentially unstable President issuing a launch order.

I hope that changes. Or has changed. Our vulnerability to a enemy first strike that could take out our ability to strike back is likely largely insiginficant anyway - we always have our subs after all, and we are not nearly as reliant on land based ICBMs. And the danger of a Trump is vastly greater than the danger of anyone launching a first strike that could be war winning.

Indeed, I don't even know that anyone is capable of that at all anymore. The only possible candidate is Russia, and I rather doubt they have the counter force capability anymore anyway...

I know that Clinton and Yeltsin managed to hammer out detargeting for ICBMs, and that Obama favored and pushed the Russians to get on board with an "open ocean" policy via bilateral agreement--that all nukes are aimed, not at one another, but at the open ocean, in the event of an accidental launch and to allow a measure of deescalation--but considering the Russian strategic reevaluation of their nuclear strategic thinking, I don't see that happening without substantial verification processes.

I don't think the Russians are a principal concern for a global birds-over-the-pole The Day After, either; at least, not at this point.  But I do worry about their regional fixations, and I can see in a Trumpian Universe, a Russia emboldened enough to move against NATO--and as the Russian-compromised US President sits it all out, the French go ball-so-hard, strap on the cuirassiers and remind Moscow what scorched earth really means.

The plan as I understand it is to nuke them as they roll across the northern plain. Sorry Krauts.

Holy Fucking Shit Please Vote: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/81d6ba4237/holy-sh-t-youve-got-to-vote?short_id=aphh&_cc=__d___&_ccid=bc8a8e66-f616-4d54-beb3-dd7ad595189b

I assume the usual suspects will affect their usual poses, but I enjoyed it so I'm sharing

Just one tiny nitpick.  Why is Donald Trump known as the guy in orange?  Is this referring to his hair colour?  He seems like a blonde to me.

Bigger nitpick:  they spelled "syphilis" wrong.
