Greets and saluts from the Resistance in the NYC metro area.

At least the weather is nice enough so Trump can go golf for a couple of hours and not threaten nuclear holocausts that Tillerson has to walk back this morning (and lo and behold, that’s exactly what happened). Everything Trump says has to be walked back/apologized for/reinterpreted/massaged, because Trump’s a walking dumpster fire whose regressive reactionary nonsense is going to start World War III for no good reason except that his ego was bruised.

Trump’s busy tweeting this morning too, and the first thing out of his feed is a fucking lie (shocking, I know).

Your order? Obama set up the nuclear modernization program that you inherited and nothing you’ve done has actually been fielded.

The only thing done so far is set up a plan to maintain the existing nuclear stockpile and extend its life.

I’ve linked to this before, but this is an outline of the Obama nuclear modernization program, and it’s expected to cost more than $1 trillion dollars, and only a tiny fraction of that has been approved by Congress - because the Pentagon hasn’t even started spec’ing out the new bombers, missiles, subs, and other delivery systems to replace the existing triad.

Trump’s first EO was 13765, which was repeal/replace Obamacare, which was followed by a Keystone-related order. Nuclear modernization wasn’t part of the mix.

Once again, Trump’s lying and trying to take credit for his predecessor’s hard work.

A bully and all his bluster is once again exposed for what he is, and the world knows how to take advantage of him (and crossing his so-called red-lines) leaving him no where to go. All that’s left is threatening a nuclear holocaust and he’s unstable enough to push the button dooming tens of millions of people to death, mayhem, and chaos.
