I’m off to bed, y’all. At least the National Command Authority prevents Donald Trump from blowing me up with nukes whilst I sleep. (He has the authority to order launching nukes, but only the Defense Secretary has the authority to release them. If the DOD refuses, Trump can fire the Secretary, but the Deputy can also refuse. It is thought that when President Nixon descended into paranoia in his administration’s latter days, the DOD decided to refuse such an order.)

We can hope our Defense Secretary is sane.
