How are we going to win a new nuclear arms race when we’ve cut education to the point that we’ve raised a generation of morons?
Honestly how can you grasp nuclear physics and missile guidance systems if you think global warming is fake and God created the Earth 6000 years ago?

Well we nuke everyone back to the Stone Age so we’re all at the same level of science.

I’m telling you, this is Trump’s solution for climate change: nuclear winter.

Says the biggest sore winner I’ve ever seen.
It won’t be that bad. Death by nuclear blast is quick and painless as long as you’re within the fireball.
Remember Wargames and how the scientist choose to live next to a major military base to maximize his chances for instant death? You just need to plan ahead!

Trump Inauguration Panic: Mark Burnett Throws ‘Hail Mary’ Staff Shake-Up (The Wrap)
The Trump transition has been struggling for weeks to secure A-list talent for the inauguration celebration. The only person confirmed to perform at the event is Jackie Evancho, a 16-year-old former “America’s Got Talent” contestant. She is set to sing the national anthem before he takes the oath of office
Performers who are known to have rejected requests include Elton John, country singer Garth Brooks and opera star Andrea Bocelli. According to the insider, many of those approached have said they do not want to “normalize” Trump’s presidency.
A knowledgeable individual said Bocelli met with the president-elect and agreed to perform, but then bowed out under pressure from fans. The individual also said longtime Trump friend and Vegas hotelier Steve Wynn had promised to deliver Celine Dion, but could not do so.

Trump’s gonna pitch a fit over this, because it hits him where it’s easiest to hurt him… it’s gonna make it apparent that no one likes him, which HE CANNOT DEAL WITH.
Robert Reich is trying to organize a Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Madonna concert to run at the same time as the Inauguration. It probably won’t happen, but it’d be hilarious.
This is an Onion article, right? Please tell me this is an Onion article.

Yes, it’s satire. It was originally suggested in a New Yorker piece.

The amazing thing is that I actually had to check whether it was satire. It wasn’t completely implausible to me that Putin would be a guest at the inauguration.

Welcome to 2016, where no satire is beyond the realm of possibility.
Also, this.
Jeff Sessions loves himself some civil asset forfeiture.
Oh, but those folks who support trump while saying they are libertarians? Yeah, as I said before, those folks have no idea what libertarianism is actually about. Because this shit is authoritarianism. IT IS THE LITERAL OPPOSITE.

Right now I’m still bothered by the WE HAVE ONE PRESIDENT AT TIME RULE, and you are not president yet Mr. Trump.
The normal president elect should be saying pretty much jack shit about nuclear weapons period.
My greatest fear is what happens when bromance ends between Trump and Putin.
The saddest part about all this - this entire thread - is that it’s led to the demise of the Onion. I don’t see how you can possibly run a website that make ridicules current events and news when the current events and news are pretty much as ridiculous as they come.

I don’t think it will. Putin is gong to play Trump like a fiddle. Putin is way smarter than Trump, and Trump’s psychological problems make him trivially easy to manipulate. For an ex KGB goon like Putin, it’s gong to be child’s play.

Imagine if the DNC had made that exact statement about Obama.
ShivaX

They didn’t need to the GOP and their mouth pieces ran with it like they did anyway. Of course they ignore it when it actually happens, because it’s their guy.
Obama says in an interview that Trump’s winning wasn’t a rejection of his eight years in office. He, pretty obviously speaking hypothetically noted that if he were to have run again he thinks he could have pulled his previous coalition together again and pulled out a win/
Trump of course - being a toddler - says “Nuh Uh!!!”
