Fox News reports that Donald Trump may consider using nuclear weapons to eliminate Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility

    If this were to happen, it would be a green light for Putin.

    Let’s hope to all fuck that our idiotic congress or who the fuck ever, prevents this abject, fucking, idiocy.

      Congress isn’t stopping him doing anything. I don’t see them suddenly changing just to prevent global nuclear war.

        Congress’ billionaire handlers all have their doomsday prepping done, so they won’t interfere.

      I thought I could write solid, dark comments but your comment about having our only hopes based solely on congress wins all the awards for darkest comment ever written.
