QuoteU.N. Warns Trump May Be 7 Months Away From Acquiring Nuclear Weapons

NEW YORK—According to an alarming new global risk report published Tuesday by the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump may be just seven months away from acquiring nuclear weapons. "A year ago, the threat didn't seem great enough to warrant serious concern, but at this moment, a nuclear-capable Trump is now a very real and very imminent possibility," said UNODA high representative Kim Won-soo, adding that the agency's current projections showed Trump potentially procuring nuclear weapons, as well as advanced ballistic missile technology, as early as January of next year. "The longer we wait to act, the closer he comes to obtaining a nuclear arsenal. The final red line for preventing him from acquiring this devastating capability comes in early November. If he is not properly dealt with before then, there will be no way to stop him from going nuclear." While U.N. officials said the international community should prepare for the destabilizing effects of Trump acquiring such weapons, they still held out hope that citizens of his nation might yet rise up against him and topple the extremist before he posed a global existential threat.
Okay, that was a good one.  Can't say that too often about The Onions these days.

Given the media's enormous respect and perceived gravitas in the eyes of the people this snub by Trump is really going to diminish his outsider populist appeal.  ^_^

The banning will probably solidify Trump's hold on the angry white retard demographic.

You need to let these weekly reality-tv hijinks slide off your back Yi or you're never going to have any fun during this campaign.

You're confusing my contempt for outrage.  I'm having a great time.

This whole election cycle is hilarious and fine entertainment, culminating in a massive Trump meltdown on election night. I can't wait for it.

Now now Obama has not made one horse a Senator. Though that would be an improvement for a lot of them :hmm:
.

He would just need to add the front part of the horse.

Oh right. Almost forgot about that. With those delegates Clinton comes up 169 delegates short without the Super Delegates. Ah well.

He did seem rather pissed today.  Or, as pissed as Obama can allow himself to get.
