1/Very few people realize that our nuclear deterrence protocol,enacted by Congress during the Cold War, gives a president the unilateral power to not only respond to a nuclear attack BUT to launch a nuclear attack WITHOUT CONSULTING ANYONE AT ALL and FOR ANY REASON AT ALL
2/In 2018 bipartisan bills to check this unlimited presidential power were blocked by McConnell-so the man who dozens of psychiatrists say has a dangerous mental illness and who is facing criminal indictment the moment he leaves office, has the power to launch a nuclear war.
3/interactions with family, friends, and co-workers tells me that people just don’t know how this First Strike Protocol works; that it literally gives one man the power to start a nuclear war. Clearly, no man or woman should have that power, let alone this man.
