The rhetoric inside North Korea is the goal for total destruction of the United States. Kim Jong Un might be smarter than the Rump, but is appears to be just as ignorant as the Rump.

Jesus H. Christ, indeed. The most deadly force in the world is controlled by the one of the least stable rulers. And it’s not just the president; here’s a snippet from 2013:

“In an unprecedented action, an Air Force commander has stripped 17 of his officers of their authority to control and launch nuclear missiles.”

How many people in the military could launch nuclear missiles without approval? I doubt we know.

The U.S. arsenal has been on a hair trigger for decades. For the survival of the world, the U.S. nuclear force needs to stand down.

Growing up in Florida during the Cuban missile crisis…. duck and cover fer cryin’ out loud.

There really needs to be a panel, tucked between 3 and 4, where they just sit and simply stare at each other, thinking about what’s just been said.

I’m sure the president will prove he’s the man for the job after another cheeseburger and profanity laced tweet about a foreign leader.

^ SS, I hope there are no people who are offended by the epithet, but NOT by the presidential ‘diplomacy’ that elicited the epithet.

Nuclear fallout does not recognize political boundaries.

What does H stand for in Jesus Christ?

Here, a possible origin is the name “Harold”; which indeed is mentioned by Smith (1994:32) as the basis of a variant form, “Jesus Harold Christ”. The “Harold” may arise from a common misinterpretation (often by children) of the phrase in the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name.”
