⚠️ LAME-DUCK LAMENT
ᴬ ᵀᴴᴿᴱᴬᴰ

I must think Americans haven't been stressed out enough lately, because I feel the need to talk about nukes.

Like most Baby Boomers / Generation Jonesers, I grew up worrying about WWIII.

⚠️As a college student during the Reagan Administration, my dreams often resembled the imagery in the movie, "The Day After."

TBH, I didn't think we'd still be here in 2020.

⭛⭛⭛
⚠️Over the years, most of us just stopped worrying about it. We were reassured that many measures were in place to prevent an accidental or unilatetal strike.

Maybe the brain can only obsess about a threat for so long.

⭛⭛⭛
⚠️Americans have often looked aghast at world leaders who seemed crazy and dangerous.

I don't think we ever expected to have a totally batchshit person in the Oval Office.

Yet here we are.

⭛⭛⭛
⚠️Experts in domestic abuse warn the most dangerous part of an abusive relationship is when the victim leaves.

I'm concerned Trump's "lame duck" period is comparable, and that most Americans assume we're safer than we really are.

⚠️ In the wake of Trump's failed reelection bid, he's fired some administration leaders. (Or they resigned.)

Lisa Gordon-Hagerty, administrator of the Nat'l Nuclear Security Administration who oversees the agency in charge of the nuclear stockpile, is one of them.

⭛⭛⭛
⚠️ Zev Shalev, former CBS News executive producer and founder of www. http://Narativ.org , wants to see Trump's nuclear powers be confined.

But these concerns have been in expert's minds for some time now.

⚠️ Here's some others concerned about this, too:

⚠️ To those who say, "I still don't think Trump wants to KILL EVERYONE ON PURPOSE," I 💯agree with you.

Because I honestly don't think Trump considers the consequences of ANY of his actions.

Nor does he ponder the suffering or death of anyone besides himself.

⭛⭛⭛
⚠️ I'm no expert, but I trust the wide variety of people who ARE experts.

They have been warning of nuclear catastrophe under Trump for 4 years.

And just look at him now.

⚠️ Will responsible parties in the United States government invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr Trump from office immediately to prevent a nuclear catastrophe?

(Asking for a planet.)
