1. And the Stock Market just reacted to

this stupid message. Your IRA's and 401's just got smacked.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. We must stop talking, temporarily, about economics, environment and

civil rights, admittedly.all of which this administration plans on doing tremendous harm to.

There is a very real and present danger of a nuclear war, and an almost certainty of war in some form within days of him taking office.

Will we care less if it is a conventional war and nameless fellow Americans unlucky enough to be in service at the time are who die?

Die we learn anything from Iraq and the cavalier attitude of many about the loss of life and limb? I dont know if we did or not.

One thing is certain, if we thought George W. Bush and Dick Cheney did not understand the real meaning of war and the death and misery it causes which is why they so quickly and using lies went to war, then think about this: The man in charge of that now clearly and undeniably has a personality disorder, whether we call it narcissism and sociopath or whatever we want to call it. He will not think twice about causing death if he thinks it will benefit him, not for an instant.

Maybe we dont stop talking about the other things, but we need to prioritize. First, make sure we are alive, second, address the issues people who are alive care about but arent very important to dead people wiped out by a nuclear war.

10. Thnking the same.

Scary to think these people have zero reality concept of History. We have not seen,or heard anything of a Scientific Nature recently about the lasting effects of Fukushima,and that was a Earth Quake disaster and man made design disaster in waiting.

Looking at what is about to Control our Nation,appears this crowd is the most insulated from reality of any group to ever attempt to Govern.

Looks like a Our Gang Comedy rerun.

2. dangerous

to the people of the world and our planet....what a disaster ameriKKKans has foisted on us all.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

4. WOW!!!!!

That will be our new President in a few weeks

[BSdetect]

5. Give him an Etch A Sketch to play with rather than the nuclear football.

[think]

6. yikes....

7. He is an idiot

If he bothered to ever get his intelligence briefings or maybe, read the news, he would know that the US is looking to modernize its nuclear arsenal to the tune of a trillion dollars. A quick Google search resulted in many more than the following articles:

https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/USNuclearModernization

http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2016/10/26/a-nuclear-arsenal-upgrade/a-trillion-dollar-nuclear-weapon-modernization-is-unnecessary

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-nuclear-future-idUSKCN11W2IW

http://billmoyers.com/story/the-trillion-dollar-question-the-media-have-neglected-to-ask-presidential-candidates/


He thinks that making stupid statements like this will somehow create something for him, some kind of positive benefit, but all it does is destabilize the situation, make our allies nervous, make our rivals laugh (because they already know our plans), and make the stock markets skittish.

Again, I say, HE IS AN IDIOT.

8. i think it depends on what you mean by "appropriate"

the question of what is "an appropriate topic to discuss in a tweet" just got a lot more complicated

[Vinca]

9. Did he come to this consensus all by himself or did the other kids on the playground vote, too?

There's something very juvenile about a POTUS tweeting at all, but to tweet about nukes is alarming.
