In a handful of days, our president and many other Democratic Party leaders, will stand on the same stage and shake the orange one's hand, slap him on the back, congratulating him on being president now.
At that very moment he will be commander in chief of the most powerful military force in the history of the world. A military force that he can send, at least a portion of it, against anyone he wants, anywhere in the world, without notice to or permission from, anyone.
He can use a completely secret process to declare any US citizen an "enemy combatant", stripping them of their rights as US citizens and send them Gitmo.
Within his first hour of being in the WH, a member of our armed forces with a case handcuffed to his arm as well as a couple of other armed forces members, will join him alone in the Oval Office and give him the run down on the "Football", the process and launch codes for launching our nuclear arsenal.
Our worse days are still to come.

(10,602 posts)The critical masses inside of our hydrogen bombs are probably not much larger than a marble. The real size is a secret. So think of it Trump will have an arsenal of thousands of marble size bombs which is the cored of these bombs. When you know that he will have access to such huge power you shudder.
There probably are kiloton devices you can carry in a back pack that are top secret. AAIIEEEE!

(40,416 posts)The bomb contained 64 kg (141 lb) of enriched uranium. Most was enriched to 89% but some was only 50% uranium-235, for an average enrichment of 80%.
Paper clip? Bah!!!!
BTW, it's "there are" not "there". And there were not suitcase nukes in 1945. Make shit up?
