Democrats Demand That Biden Give Up His Power to Launch Nuclear Missiles

The Democrats claim they're just making this demand because no one man should have this power.

But... they didn't mind when Obama and Clinton had it.

What makes Biden different, I wonder?

Psst: I have an idea what makes this an urgent issue right now.

Also, the same military that brags about lying to a president about troop levels and refuses to carry out orders they deem "illegal" or "ill advised" (like Trump wanting to call out the national guard when DC was on fire during antifa protests) will definitely not launch nukes if they don't want to.

46 Their first suggestion puts the VP and the Speaker of the House as needing to sign off on a nuclear launch order (gee, I wonder why).

This also, of course, effectively neuters US retaliatory capability because you know that whatever happens some poison pill in the chain will refuse to green light.

55 I've made this point before, but where in the military hierarchy does the VP or Speaker of House sit?

That's right, no where. The President is Commander in Chief, and is the only person to be both in the civilian chain of command and in the military chain of command.

For a reason -- because mixing military and civilian aspects of government is a fucking stupid idea, universally recognized as stupid by anyone who is not a military dictator.

We don't know exactly how it works in Boomer subs for obvious reasons, but I think they do have some autonomy to launch nukes if they are unable to communicate with the Pentagon due to the US being wiped out by a nuclear war while they were underwater.

Honestly? I think this is still about Trump. Remember when Pelosi called the Joint Chiefs to make sure they wouldn't launch any nukes if Trump ordered it?

This way, they can write in the history books that "the country was so scared of Trumphitler, that after he left office they decided to never again allow one man the ability to destroy the world with a single button." or whatever.

NC3/NMCC then the various platforms aloft, etc.

Preemptively launching the arsenal, without already being at a high level of readiness would be hard. Sure, a small part is tripwired - but to do a first strike right would take some coordination. At a minimum you need to get the subs positioned for depressed trajectory shots into Beijing and Moscow. Im sure I left the basic plan on the shelf.

I like Musk. It's hard not to... the man keeps firing off his own space rockets, after all.

But like the rest of the electric car sector, Tesla is a dumb idea and a scam, predicated on a number of fantastic notions.

And when you look at Tesla's market capitalization, it's ludicrously overblown. I mean that. It's just ludicrous.

But there's a whole lot of that going around. I can rattle off half a dozen examples of companies whose valuations are totally decoupled from any industrial reality, but there are *many* more than half-a-dozen.

The markets are screaming out for a bone-shaking correction, and Tesla stands out as an object lesson.

181 Confirmation that I am an introvert. I LOVE working from home and I can't help rolling my eyes at the work emails and now FMN reports on the stresses of working from home; its sooo hard.

I'm not a hermit and I enjoy live chatting with people one on one or in tiny groups. But it is not just the majority dummiecrat makeup of my workplace, nor being freed from the commute that makes me happy to be WFH. A side benefit of the fakedemic. When I used to stay home because of bad roads I would only do a couple hours of work and take most of the day as PTO so I thought I didn't have the skills to be productive at home. Being faced with it being a long term deal forced me to set up a home office and working hours in that office. I'll never have to return to commuting 4-5 days a week.

What we're seeing is internal party politics, with various factions struggling for power. I've said for a while that my fear is we'll see the result the first time there's a major international crisis and the various groups undermine each other and any US response. For example, the Chinese close the Taiwan Straits and the WH is split between those who want a strong response, and those who want to avoid a provocative, response, and the result is that we give a tepid response that emboldens the Chinese and causes things to spiral out of control.

But I prefer to believe he's bumbling around, knocking things over, touching things (and people) he shouldn't, and they're getting fed up with it. It takes a lot of work to keep this facade going.

There was an old Internet quote from some Russian military document. (Don't know if true or not.) The basic statement was a US military commander did not feel bound by his military's doctrine. Actually, it was a miracle it they followed it at all. They just did whatever they decided was best. Countering this made developing Soviet military doctrine difficult.

the IRS and the NY tax people have had them since they were filed, and have presumably audited his records many times. And Trump, like all wealthy people, I'm sure has teams of lawyers and accountants.

I think the biggest takeaway will be "wow, Trump didn't have a whole lot of income on his personal tax return, he lied about being rich" even though we all know he has all kinds of C corps and trusts and whatnot running around out there.

It made sense to me to have the Swiss guarantee the peace and safety of Jerusalem. Swiss mercs guarantee premium performance, to the death if needs be, as long as the agreed-upon pay arrives on time. And after they shot a hundred or so Hamas & PLA bastards the message would sink in. Of course, part of the novel's plan was that shenanigans from outside Israel's borders would have been handled by the 10th Cavalry.

The president has a credit card sized card that has some random numbers on it. When he takes office, he chooses one set. This is basically a PIN number to identify him as a final check.

They're not looking for a tax crime. They're looking for something to hang their hat on in his business dealings and to find out who he did business with so they can go after them.

Not only that they intend to point out at every stage the deductions he took as a rich man and his billion dollar company and point out to the ordinary guy on the street how HE couldn't take those deductions.

or at least that was the plan while he was still in office. It may still be a part of their plan. They'll invent crimes if they have to and now with all the details that only the feds got they can do so.

I would've thought they had all the same data but apparently not.

The role of Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces rests solely with the President within the Executive branch.

Together the two duty officers create the release order on potus' authority as potus to do so. After they press the send button, it's mostly on autopilot until you get to the warhead, where the received message has the codes to unlock the physical device.

I believe they print a bunch of codes on a piece of plastic like a credit card. Only one of the codes is genuine and POTUS is supposed to know which one that is.

Answer: (d) all of the above.

There's not an H-bomb design out there that isn't kicked off by a fission primary.

The percentage yield of the weapon due to fusion varies widely. Redwing Navajo, for example, is listed as having 95% fusion and a 4.5 MT yield.

585 "neutron" bombs were nothing of the sort, of course, at least in the implication that they somehow produced only one effect of a nuke.

Enhanced Radiation/Reduced Blast was the name. All nukes generate several effects, their energy is distributed between them (blast, heat, prompt radiation, other radiation) - and even those categories somewhat blend into each other in some cases.

"Neutron bomb" designs just tilted the mix more towards prompt radiation than the other forms of energy released.

If President Biden is not mentally fit to manage that task then that is prima-facie evidence of being "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office", and therefore he must be removed under the 25th Amendment.

"Sharing" these powers with the Cabinet, with Congress or the military is a violation of Separation Of Powers, another unconstitutional move.
