Terrified!

SCROTUS now casually refers to nuclear weapons as our"nukes". I listened to two gentlemen who called in to talk radio and identified as retired naval veterans who were assigned to nuclear subs. They painted a terrifying picture of what would have happened had they ever had to launch some of the warheads from their subs. Life will be annihilated on land sea and air. They. Even expressed fear of the current administration that portrays themselves as "badasses" with the nukes. Obama tried to tamp down the race for more nuclear weapons and this fool wants to increase them. If these veterans who served around these weapomNs are fearful, i am terrified. It is shameful that in the name of power, rethuglicsns would put the world in danger. Applauding forr the words of Steve Bannnon just validates to how low they have sunk. To everyone, be afraid. Be very afraid!

1. Trump, likely views them as toys to play with! Also, I don't see why we need more and more

nuclear weapons. I think there are already enough to kill every living thing on earth something like 50 times. WTF is wrong with these people. We are living in an age now of the highest form of stupidity.

2. The way this guy talks about "nukes" should be terrifying to everyone.

We know we have a madman at the helm. We just don't know how mad?
