    America has a thermonuclear monarchy. When the president is seen as no longer fit to control the nuclear codes, weird things happen, like battles between competing factions and courtiers.pic.twitter.com/zphMLivIgf

        We need age limits not for the US citizens sake, but for everyone else’s. As long as we have nukes after the next president can we all agree 70+ is too old?

        I've always been split on this. In principle I agree it would be nice if the US wasn't lead by a succession of old men - but on the other hand, you make it to easy to climb the ladder, sooner or later, you end up with a young energetic Trump...

        I keep thinking about the time that Nixon secretly escalated the patrols of nuclear B-52 bombers near Moscow, just to put the Soviets on edge. Stepped up the nuclear alert for one month and then called it off. Madman theory. The public didn’t know at all.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Giant_Lance …

        Things are bad when you're nostalgic for Al Haig.
