A 'no suicide oath' would lead to loving people out of benefits. It's the whole reason they thought it up.

I was gonna make a joke about "you'd better not kill yourself or you'll be in trouble!" but yeah this is exactly what they're trying to do.

Lindsay Graham was just on tv and said he discussed NK with Trump and that Trump is, "mentally there in terms of a pre-emptive strike."

Trump is having a high level security briefing with Kelly, Mattis, and Pence in a bit. Will just have to wait and see what happens after.

Safety contract lmao. I work in addiction treatment and behavioral health and that poo poo don't work lmao. All they are is a piece of paper absolving the facility of responsibility for your death if you off your self on their premises.

Alot of facilities who don't wanna deal with it are actually just bouncing suicidal people out the the street cause they don't want the lawsuit or bad press of having someone eat a bullet or OD on their premises

Trump nuking the Norks into non existence and then getting immediately impeached would kill two birds with one stone.

Also he's literally the only president we've had that could launch nukes that close to the Russian border and not cause the Russians to go full MAD

so how hosed is everyone in SK if pyongyang catches a nuke?

because it would be kind of weird to watch chest thumping, military boner republicans and republican supporters kill a bunch of american troops and be okay with it.

because i am 100% certain there's a larger than acceptable group of people that would cheer him on if he nuked NK and killed abunch of american troops in the process.

it's one thing to throw a bunch of kids into iraq and have iraqis kill them, or for someone to get Pat Tillman'd

but if like, a few thousand troops eat nuclear fallout and kick the bucket in the process, i'm not sure you can just write that off the same way.

Pyongyang is far enough away from borders that a tactical nuke probably wouldn't affect China or SK.

No one is gonna be a fan though.

If "dialed" down the effects of one of the tactical bombs would be pretty localized and not that much fallout would make it to RoK or Japan.

Of course that assumes Trump doesn't order an Ohio to launch everything. Luckily he doesn't even know what the nuclear triad is... :stonklol:

For most Americans, no probably not. For the Republican death cult members we have that are still loud and proud about being all aboard the MAGA Train? Eh I wouldn't be so sure. Reminder:
They will think, do, and say whatever Trump tells them today.

I decided I was a libertarian towards the end of high school because it's a philosophy that appeals to dumb self-centered teenagers. I'd startes to turn against that in a pretty big way on my early 20s thanks to exposure to the real world, and being really mad about the knots people would tie themselves into for anti-Obama nonsense. Seriously, you're going to flip out about Michelle wearing shorts when they go on vacation?! gently caress you! I thoroughly loathed Republicans by this point. Scott Walker's bullshit after he got elected turned me from thinking libertarians were merely misguided, into outright hating them.

The guy is a loving sleezeball, ans Wisconsin's inability to get rid of him or Johnson makes me question why I ever thought it was an ok place. At a finer level you have shitbags like Ryan and Duffy that will probably never go away either.
