What a dumbass! Now he wants to pull out of Reagan's treaty agreement...
...that was made with Gorbachev decades ago, that limited or prohibited certain types of nuclear weapons.
Unbelievable!
The dumbass just wakes up one morning and decides we should return to the Cold War days. No advice. No consultation with allies. No warning to NATO. He will decide unilaterally what is best for the world.
Could someone put a leash on this asshole ??

aren't his fascistic followers but ordinary, more moderate conservatives. THEY need to become afraid of what's happening to their right also, enough to finish breaking away and start opposing.
Wouldn't you find it interesting to know how many of the people you work with remember the threat of nuclear winter? 
Most of us would probably die even with a limited nuclear winter resulting from a limited nuclear war on another continent. For sure life would become extremely grim and basic for those who did have to live through it to the next big struggles to rebuild civilization.
and far more easily moved by fear than liberals. They have a darker view of human nature and, the more conservative, the more sure they tend to be that they have to stop someone or something before it destroys them.
When I suggested they need to be made afraid, I meant it's past time for them to start being afraid of what's coming at them from the right, from this nation and from others. The direction they're trained never to look.
Trump's attempts to cancel our nonproliferation treaties reminded me that before strong conservatives turned inward to fight off the internal existential threat of Democrats -- after the Cold War ended, they were sure the big enemy they had to destroy or else was Russia. It could be Russia again.
And not long ago many of our religious right neighbors here in Georgia firmly believed Satan's forces were massing in Iran and Russia. Trump's not had much success since then in getting them to see Saudi Arabia as our good buddy in the Mideast, Iran's still an evil enemy, and somehow I doubt the commitment of even the nutty ones to their new friends in Moscow is all that secure.
It's a weakness that's been turned on us but perhaps may turn again. Outward. 
Group insurance through work is to return to the old days of denying coverage for preexisting conditions.
Return to being locked into jobs and the constant fear of losing them, bankruptcy, suffering, premature death.
Scary.
For most of our acquaintances it's Medicare, and some must be receiving Medicaid.
Unfortunately, their handlers have become very expert in using fear to manipulate the most prone, who embrace the most irrational lies passionately as proof of their loyalty. But that leaves all the others, and there's a great deal of distrust over this -- and need that could cut through nonsense once it becomes undeniable.
Meanwhile...
maybe. The wheels of justice are still turning, and it's what could go bad with more time that keeps me awake in the middle of the night. I never thought it couldn't happen here, only that it wouldn't, and now we're in danger so quickly.
The attacks on the vote are what make me sick, such as in Georgia right now. There are too many people unwilling and too many groups specifically at risk for We the People not to fix this eventually -- as long as we have the ability to impose our will through our votes. Without that power,...
