And Breathe!

I have spent four years studiously not thinking about the facts that Trump had control of the nuclear football and that he thought that nuclear bombs were kinda neat.  There was no point in thinking about it, so I didn't.  And today, I can stop not thinking about it.  Thank god.

I will sleep easier. And maybe drink a little less.

I also hope to sleep easier tonight for reasons having nothing to do with apnea.

I wasn't that worried about it until I saw a video of him casually talking about nuking hurricanes to try to bust them up, at which point I was, like, OMG WTF!??!? and after that I was much more concerned, since he clearly had no clue about radioactive fallout or ANYTHING and, yeah... it became an active concern.

I'm still worried about the North Koreans, but at least on OUR side we no longer have a child ruler who thinks nukes are a fun toy.

I think it was during the campaign, he was asked about the possible use of nuclear weapons. His response was weird and discursive, as his responses usually were, but included the sentiment that nuclear weapons were very important because they were so powerful, and it was clear he was entranced by their potential for destruction. I started worrying then.
