I believe they should start hiding the Football from *bush

After reading the articles here this evening, it's becoming apparent his support mechanism is fragmenting and dropping away. From this point on I think it's safe to call him the Lame Chimp. The problem is, with his ego and temper, he will never accept the ending of his role (such as it was) in "governing" our country. The little monkey boy is just too stubborn, and WAY too mentally ill.

He is going to blow, and it will be sky high. With all the accusations, revelations, and political embarrassments coming at him like out-of-control Indy cars, it's only a matter of time before gee dubya irrevocably loses it and takes a lunge toward The Button.

It's time for those close to him to start thinking of protecting themselves, and hopefully us, from him. It's time to hide the nuclear Football from him. It's time to change all the codes.

Before it's too late. :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

No doubt Reagan was, too. Allegedly.

It was real scary at the time. Especially since all through the 60s the nuns were telling us that the Russians were going to bomb us. I laid awake many nights watching out my bedroom window waiting and listening for the Russian planes.

Cheney too! In fact who there could be in charge. Oh this is really scarey.

a "See-And-Say". They figure he won't notice.

...funny :rofl:

He THOUGHT he had it,
but even HE occasionally wondered
about its unusual "turn the arrow" interface:

("Trust me, Mr. President. The COW says 'Global Thermonuclear Warfare'.")

:rofl:

possibility-- there have been discussions before on DU and elsewhere about just how far the rats might go when they finally realize they are well and truly cornered.

LOVE your sig, by the way.

Hopefully, all those surrounding him have a small amount of sanity between them.

:hide: :scared:

Seriously, you don't think they'd REALLY let him play with the foot ball, do you? Of course he THINKS he has access to it, but that's the joke. BUSH is so STUPID he doesn't realize he really IS NOT running the show. He honest to god thinks he is a President of the United States! Seriously, that just shows how unbelievably stupid the guy actually is.

He can't do SHIT without the people who put him in office and who have kept him there despite every piece of evidence that has emerged over the past five years to show that he is worse than an incompetent tool: Like them, he is a paranoid megalomanic; simply not at nearly as subtle a level.

No one person cannot activate a nuclear attack. It takes a concensus of at least two people. From the very top to the very bottom of the command structure at least two people must concur to release a nuclear weapon. In other words, at least two people must concur to initiate the command. At least two people must concur to pass the command down the chain of command at every interaction until it gets to the actual people who deliver (or launch) the weapon(s). At any point in the structure where there is not a concensus on the validity of the command, the release of the weapon(s) fails.

I trust NOTHING about these people. NOTHING.

If there were sane men (and women) in control of the military, there would have been a coup by now. One I would have welcomed. There has been nothing because too many high-rankers believe in all the nonsense that's done nothing but enable them to fulfill what they must believe to be some sort of warrior's destiny. Hell, most of 'em would push the button themselves.

Only those who pass a nuclear launch command have to obey the two-man rule. One lowly officer of a pair in the missile silo has the power to stop it.

There are people of many political persuasions along that chain. If Chimp and whomever tries something preemptive it is hopefully likely that somebody will be smart enough to call an end to it.

One hopes that the horror of the reality of the situation would compel saner minds to halt it. This is precisely why the two-man rule is in place.

When bush* appeared one day with his face all messed up and they said it was because he had choked on a pretzel?? I still have an image in my mind that he got drunk, wired up, or something and to be subdued by the secret service. Something like playing a game of rule the world in the situation room, going for the football, or using the roll-a-dex to call world leaders and tell them that he was going to nuke them--any of which, to him, would have been a cute, drunken frat boy joke.

Anyway, that is what I have always felt about his pretzel incident.

table or something--or maybe laura hit him--your scenario is giving me chills.

...but check out his injuries:




Doesn't his left cheek look like a raspberry? Like a rug-burn????

And his nose. Doesn't that look as though there is an underlying medical issue that was aggravated, by say maybe his face hitting the carpet?



I think that he has been "out there" for quite sometime, but I believe that the secret service keeps a close watch on him.
