Get Under Your School Desk, Here’s The Dumbest **** Trump Has Ever Said About Nukes



This week, while Donald Trump waddles around his New Jersey golf course yelling mad words about how he’s going to **** North Korea into oblivion, something all sane presidents know they’re not supposed to say, seems like a good time to remind everyone that Trump does not know one solitary thing about nuclear weapons, besides that they exist, they go boom, and for some godforsaken reason (thanks, handful of rednecks in the Rust Belt and, and also Russia!) he controls them.

Trump tweeted this incomprehensible gibberish Wednesday:



Excuse us, but what are we supposed to believe Donald Trump did to “renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal”?

Did he replace those tacky Corian countertops with something more trendy, like marble?

Did he knock out a couple walls in the silos, to open up the space?

Because it’s a well-known fact that nobody really cares about having a formal dining room in a missile silo anymore, because the heart of any good nuclear bombing party is really the kitchen.

What the hell is this, “Love It Or List It”?

The Washington Post explains that no, Trump hasn’t done anything about our nuclear arsenal, and is simply sucking his own dick with his head up his ***, like he does.

When he became president, he fired the people who maintain our nukes, and he pulled out his Hello Kitty Presidenting Pen and “order[ed] a review” of the arsenal, which HASN’T EVEN BEEN DONE YET.
Trump loves the poorly educated hayseeds!

His most fervent supporters think he’s bringing back coal jobs, that one million new factories are under construction, and apparently they’re willing to believe Trump has been out there renovatin’ the nukes with a hammer and a nail, in between his golfing trips.

Always remember, loves, that no matter how dumb you think the average Trump supporter is, the truth is about 15 IQ points lower.

The WaPo notes that if there is anything different about our nukes right now, it’s (LOL) because of a “very aggressive $1 trillion modernization plan that was signed into law by President Barack Obama.”

This is all part and parcel of how Trump doesn’t know **** about nuclear weapons, just like he doesn’t know **** about much of anything else.

Of course, he considers himself an expert, because he considers himself an expert on everything.

If the dictionaries haven’t added Trump’s picture to the entry for Dunning-Kruger Syndrome yet, they need to get on it.

Trump told a story in June of 2016 about how his uncle, who worked at MIT, taught him about the nu-cu-lars:

VIDEO
Besides how **** epic that nonsense run-on sentence is, Trump has a point.

Who among us hasn’t observed the strength of nuclear bombs and said, “who would have thought?”

The answer is **** NOBODY SINCE HIROSHIMA.

But Trump learned all about the nukes from Uncle John, who, as Timothy O’Brien points out in BloombergView, “had no experience developing nuclear weapons or nuclear policy.”

But he was super-smart, OK? Tremendous brain!

O’Brien flags a thing Trump told the Boston Globe just after he announced his run for the presidency, about how the good brain of his uncle means his family has “good genetics.”

(Sorry, Donald, but it sounds like Uncle John took all the good genes, because look in the mirror.)
Nuclear weapons are bad, MMMKAY, so don’t make Trump use them.

Except for how he KIND OF WANTS TO?

Back in August of 2016, we wrote a Wonksplainer after Joe Scarborough-Brzezinski told a story about Trump talking to a foreign policy expert and just having a conniption, asking the expert THREE TIMES in one conversation why he wasn’t allowed to use nuclear weapons.

The short answer was “HOLY ****, TRUMP,” but the long answer was that Trump needs to read some goddamn books (assuming he can read) about Ronald Reagan, the doctrine of mutually assured destruction, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and maybe just a general book on the history of the world DURING HIS OWN LIFE, since he obviously hasn’t paid any attention.

It can be a pop-up book or a Berenstain Bears version if that’s more on his level.

In the September 2016 presidential debate, Trump said this:
No first strike, no first strike, YOU’RE THE FIRST STRIKE.

Unless Trump wants to be the first strike, in which case GO BOOM.

In a Republican primary debate in December of 2015, Trump answered a question from moderator Hugh Hewitt, about how he would update/preserve our nuclear triad.

Jesse Berney provides the transcript of Trump’s answer over at Rolling Stone:
HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT?

As Berney quipped, “the boxing-related deaths of World War II were truly devastating.
Hewitt, not being a total hack for once, reminded Trump that his question was about what he would do to update our nuclear triad, and Trump replied:
Why he used Make America Great Again as his slogan, when “Nuclear Is Just The Power, The Devastation Is Very Important To Me” was available, is just a mystery.

Has Trump learned anything since that primary debate in 2015?

Since that 2016 presidential debate?

Since Uncle John told him about nuclear before nuclear was nuclear?

Considering his dick-waving at North Korea, the answer is clearly no.

If you have evidence to the contrary, please prove us wrong!

Until then, we’ll be over here under our desk hoping Trump doesn’t accidentally try to use the nuclear football to order a Diet Coke.

James O’Keefe Idiots, ‘Wealthy Oil Widow’ And ‘Dude With Spy Cuff Links,’ Now Infiltrating Enviro Groups. Very Poorly.



Looks like investigative poo-thrower James O’Keefe and his merry band of news fakers have stepped on their own dicks once again, this time in an aborted attempt to infiltrate that dangerous nexus of radicalism the League of Conservation Voters (LCV — which only looks like a Roman number).

The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer reports the LCV has filed a complaint with California’s Department of Justice after the group figured out that three new “volunteers” who were very eager to talk about all sorts of very leftish ideas were actually infiltrators, two of whom had previously worked with O’Keefe.

It’s not clear what the Gang That Couldn’t Spy Straight was trying to prove with their bumbling “investigation,” but we can at least feel relieved Donald Trump hasn’t hired O’Keefe to run covert ops at the CIA.
O’Keefe, needless to say, wouldn’t tell Mayer about whether the three were connected with his “Project Veritas” (Latin for “Truth Pulled Out Of My ***”), saying only, “I don’t comment on investigations real or imagined, or work with mainstream reporters who operate in bad faith.”

He only works with amateur “reporters” who operate in bad faith, just like him.

Mayer, clearly amused, reminds us she wrote about O’Keefe’s brilliant self-sting last year, when an “investigation” of George Soros fell apart thanks to O’Keefe’s failure to hang up his own phone.

While LCV isn’t sure whether the infiltrators — Christian Hartsock, Daniel Sandini, and Ann Vandersteel — were working for Project Vermin or doing their own copycat work, the complaint notes that Hartcock and Sandini have worked with O’Keefe previously; Mayer adds they also have connections to Steve Bannon, and both were credited in Bannon’s 2012 agitprop movie Occupy Unmasked.

(Depressing thought: a Steve Bannon film festival…)

Vandersteel works with a cheesy rightwing outfit called “YourVoice America,” and is a big fan of the #Pizzagate conspiracy theory.

If this was an O’Keefe joint, he clearly had the usual team of crack investigators.

LCV chair Carol Browner, a former EPA director and Obama administration official, said the infiltrators had at least the basics of a sophisticated scam going.

They posed as frontmen for big-money donors who wanted to save the environment, and offered fake business cards, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts, and the story that Donald Trump’s election had motivated the donors to act, so could they please meet lots of big-time activists and people in government, please?

Their fake Facebook pages had exactly what you’d expect for liberal activists, like pictures of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, lots of “#Resist” hashtags, and of course a “like” for Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, which was probably one of the tip-offs that these guys were fake.

Nobody but rightwing loons like O’Keefe goes around quoting Alinsky like gospel.

We go for The Big Lebowski, man.

Then there was the brilliant spycraft:
You know how it is — you just accidentally leave your Hi-Tech Spy Cufflinks or your phone sitting around whenever there’s a meeting.

Browner said Sandini’s behavior gave her “the heebie-jeebies,” and that she had told colleagues so at the time.

You don’t get a lot of heebie-jeebies these days, and we love Browner for it (and also for actually using the EPA to protect the environment).

Sandini was a bit less than subtle:
Sandini eventually introduced Browner to the third operative, “Ann Steel” (how DO they come up with these aliases?!), who claimed to be a “wealthy oil baron’s widow” and also set off Browner’s **** detectors.

LCV started looking more closely at the three, and noticed their Facebook accounts had all been created fairly recently, and that their “friends” included a surprising number of folks from Southeast Asia, suggesting they’d been purchased in bulk.

(Cue that great spy song, “Secret Asian Man.”)

Eventually, LCV figured out their new pals’ real identities and hired a lawyer to file the criminal complaint with the California DOJ.

And now we’ll see what lame-*** footage O’Keefe throws together, if he was connected to these doofuses.

And since California takes its two-way consent for recording seriously, we’re hoping to learn more about those super-secret Spy Cufflinks.

These are clearly the most sophisticated agents since that one time Jared Kushner asked Russia for his own shoe phone.
