Huh.
You know, I was aware about how fucking stupid and awful things are but it never once occurred to me that yes Trump and his yes men are in office and they do have access to nukes.
Like yeah. I knew that, that's obvious. But it never once occurred to me that thier use would ever be in play. I never thought anyone, no matter how stupid and depraved would use them.
I'm not surprised. But at the same time. I am.
I’ve been thinking they’ll use the nukes since they started this thing.
All they know is escalation, and eventually when they run out of other ideas that one is a pretty big escalation to try out.
I've been waiting for this particular shoe to drop since 2016.
