his morning, Hawaiians awoke to an emergency alert mistakenly warning of an incoming ballistic missile attack. Officials blamed human error. The governor of Hawaii says someone “pushed the wrong button” during an employee shift change.
The error occurs among growing concern that Trump is increasing the probabilities of a nuclear attack. The “shithole” president shouldn’t be allowed near the nuclear button (actually, a bag). Yet he’s forging ahead with plans for a massive buildup of an arsenal already containing too many (4,000) warheads, expanding the circumstances in which they’d be used, and a new low-yield nuclear weapons that would be “more usable.”
Trump must be removed, legally and non-violently, before it’s too late. If our representatives in Congress aren’t willing to us the 25th Amendment or impeachment, they must replaced by sensible people who are willing.
What do you think?
