1. Ty, Nancy!

[Towlie]

13. Thanks for what? For warning Trump that if he's going to do it then he'd better do it now?

Seriously, the first mention of this we should see is that it's already done.

[ananda]

2. So what was his reply?

I wonder....

[soothsayer]

3. Well that's a relief but will he take it as a challenge?

[Wounded Bear]

4. Yeah, they did it for Nixon...def need it for Trump...nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Yes, secdef James Schlesinger notified the Pentagon

that if Nixon, who had become pretty weird toward the end of the Watergate matter, wanted to start launching nukes, they were to go through him rather than following Nixon's instructions.

[Tommymac]

8. Problem is the current SecDev is an unknown low level Trump flunky.

Presents more of a challenge.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. That's probably why Pelosi did it, and announced publicly that she did it.

[ArizonaLib]

15. The football - she snatches it away

Anyone have a picture of Lucy snatching the football from Charlie Brown?

6. Whew! Can't they just change the codes?

And cutoff his ability to give any military orders?

They could just say "no."

7. 12 days is plenty of time for vindictive & beholden trump to hobble the US & Biden admin.

Plenty of time. He needs to be treated for the immediate danger he presents. trump is a criminal/rapist who relies on his charm to convince people he's "innocent & will never do it again." No, he's a clear and present danger. Look at Ted Bundy.

9. Oh my, what a place in history. Thank you MSP.

A woman is leading us.

[MontanaMama]

10. I do not want to hear anyone on this board

pipe off about Nancy Pelosi not doing enough. No.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. What are the precautions? Because if it's the military making decisions over civilian leadership,

that sounds a li'l like a coup.

[MoonlitKnight]

12. We have no choice but to impeach

Our nuclear deterrence depends upon us being able to rely upon those who must turn the key and press the button without hesitation.

Same for conventional forces.

The fact that they need to hesitate puts them and our nation at risk.

The President is Commander in Chief. The only option is to change the President immediately.

[PatrickforO]

14. It is good Pelosi did this. The need to box Trump in during these last 12

days is urgent.

[Nululu]

17. Asking nicely might not be enough nt

[LisaL]

18. My concern when he was elected was that he would blow us up.

These will be long 2 weeks.

[SunSeeker]

19. Thank God we have an adult still left in the room. nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. As I said in a previous thread...

...there isn't a single person in American politics who could be doing a better job of managing this situations. Loves me some Nancy!
