Dave Starsky's JournalI hope all these fugitive Nazis are calling Trump's attorneys.
What's with all the tears, crybabies? Your Uncle Donald has you all taken care of. You, me, and everyone in America DISTINCTLY heard him say that he would COVER YOUR LEGAL BILLS should you be busted for beating up protesters. He is on video saying this! No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
So if I were you, I would dry those eyes, blow those noses, turn those frowns upside-down, and start making some damn phone calls. Start with that Jay Sekulow guy. He seems like he is well polished at getting stupid fuckups like you out of these kinds of scrapes.
If they say no, or they are so rude as to not even return your calls, then find some other attorney AND SUE THE BIG ORANGE BASTARD. He is, after all, the guy that got you into this mess, right? Of course he is.
You are still in deep shit and will most likely will still be heading to the slammer. But at least there's a chance you can make some coin off it. Maybe it can go to pay that child support that's been nagging at you.
Good luck to you. White America is counting on you. Make 'em pay!
Like Trump, I grew up during the Cold War.
I was always afraid that I'd be nuked to death.
Unlike Trump, I read the books Alas, Babylon; On the Beach; War Day; Swan Song; and A Canticle for Liebowitz.
I also watched the movies The Day After, Threads, Fail Safe, World War III, Colossus: The Corbin Project, Dr. Strangelove, A Boy and his Dog, War Games, The Atomic Cafe, and even Terminator 2, for crying out loud.
We practiced duck-and-cover drills in school before it became obvious to everyone that they probably did more harm than good.
My friends and I played a card game called Nuclear War. The object was to assemble a hand of nukes by matching up warheads with compatible missiles and then "launching" them at your friends' populations. Anyone wiped out by this had the privilege of "final retaliation", in which they could combine all of the missiles and warheads in their hand and launch them at whomever they pleased. These losers also got "final retaliation", and so on and so on. Eighty percent of the time, NOBODY won, but it was still fun to play.
I got REALLY good at the arcade game Missile Command. I mastered the technique of spreading my antimissile fire evenly at just the right height to take out the MIRVs before they broke up.
I stumbled upon a Civil Defense shelter once. It still had a lot of big cylindrical cans filled with post-nuclear supplies. The cans themselves were to be used as latrines, once you dumped out all of the iodine tablets, bandages, burn ointment, etc.
I didn't run across this stuff out of selection bias. I wasn't just some studious kid with a demented interest in morbid things. EVERYONE encountered this. EVERYONE with at least half a functioning brain knew how mutually assured destruction (MAD) worked. EVERYONE knew how serious it all was. EVERYONE worried or at least thought about the fact that we might be vaporized in our beds at night and never even know.
And despite all of the worries and the dark humor, there was always this one little thought at the very back of my mind: Someone at the top is competent enough to make sure it doesn't happen. Someone in charge has a family and/or friends and doesn't want to see them, or anyone else, get killed. It was cold comfort, but it was all we had.
We lived every day for decades under the shadow of nuclear war. Decades of time, effort, and energy, and many, many billions of dollars that could have been far, far better invested elsewhere.
But through it all, none of us got nuked to death. That whole MAD idea worked.
If Donald Trump gets any of us nuked to death, I am going to be righteously, insanely pissed off. Assuming I am still alive in the radiating rubble, I will crawl out of the ruins and be mad. I will be mad at Donald Trump.
How did NK get so advanced so quickly?
Seriously, it seems like not even a year ago, they couldn't get an Estes Big Bertha (Remember those?) off the pad, and now they're talking about delivering nukes to Alaska.
Am I the only one who finds this odd? It's like they just skipped 10 turns in Civ 5.
Just visited the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site.
If you're ever in the Rapid City, SD, area, you owe it to yourself to visit. There are a LOT of people up here now for Sturgis.
https://www.nps.gov/mimi/index.htm
This place is dedicated to educating visitors about the amazing people who manage our land-based nuclear missiles.
What struck me most in this visit was how many safeguards there are in place to make sure that absolutely NO ONE fucks up in their mission of stewarding and delivering nuclear missiles. There is an enormous elaborate network of checks to make sure that they operate ONLY on the information that they get from the top of the command chain. From the TOP.
Donald Trump must go.
My fantasy is for DT to get indicted on his golf course.
I picture him quickly shambling over to his golf cart and driving away, a bunch of FBI agents running alongside him until he makes it to the freeway. Then--hunched over the wheel, anus mouth puckered in grim determination--he leads about 20 cop cars on a 10-mile-per-hour "chase" that is covered by skycams on all the major television networks.
You KNOW it would play out this way.
