POLITICS: what have you done for us lately?

[Chankgeez]

Looks like she's listenin' to what that gavel has to say.

Also, Trump's gonna get fuck all constructive done for the rest of his term.

Hopefully it's saying "Hammer time, baby!"

Yep, just like his first two years. Although I hope he will accomplish being removed from office. That would be the most constructive thing he could possibly do for all of us.

well i've heard of global warming, but this is ridiculous!!!!!!

[BitchPudding]

This is why I can't read the new anymore, or even go on fucking facebook. I've got a 7 year old son at home, I'm about to get married, stuff like this is sending me into full blow panic attacks.

I should probably abandon thread.

All Russia ever did was violate the treaty, so it likely will make zero difference. They do nukes, we do nukes. That’s how this shit has worked for a long time. I’m not even close to scared or concerned.

This is a good point.
But. Suspending the treaty also means we've just thrown away something we would use to, say, impose sanctions on Russiato convince them to get their shit together.
So, really, rather than this meaning that we're a significant step towards nuclear winter or anything, it's more like another instance of the US just letting Russia do whatever the fuck they want without consequence.

… but Trump's the toughest POTUS on Russia EVER!?!?!

It’s likely they were already violating the treaty, but now Putin gets to openly build nuclear arms because it’s the US who voided the treaty. This is a political advantage that frames Russia as the reasonable, cooperative state.

[Jwar]

I read they are already working on a new treaty. I don’t know. Regardless, I can’t be afraid of “what if’s”. If there is a nuclear war, I’ll be dead most likely. So, me wasting my time being upset about something I have zero control over doesn’t appeal to me.

I mean I get it though.

That’s Michelle Bachman level stupid. It’s like Republicans are all suffering from a prion disease.
