re: #319 Weaselone

Well look if we are where a system of safeguards does not function as designed, it’s never never land. That’s a malfunction by definition, and I was trying to point out how it is supposed to work. Of course safeguards can possibly be thwarted. But that’s rather aside from my point to Charles. There are safeguards between the president and unrestricted nuclear warfare cause Trump feels insulted.

Can he really just look at the officer with the football, beckon with a finger, open it and off go the missiles? Just like that? I doubt it.
