justalurkrDid Trump Just Joke About Killing Hillary over Supreme Court Justices?
I wasn't done explaining to people about the nukes thing. As a Cold War Era International Relations major, I feel especially qualified for that one. It goes something like this: "the first strike nation loses the moral high ground for the amount of time it takes the second strike to land, and then every living thing on Earth is dead. So...we don't use nukes."
The absolute most positive spin on pretty much anything Trump says is "he was joking! Can't liberals take a joke???"
To which I reply, "at this stage of the campaign and with the state of his poll numbers, isn't it time for Mr. Trump to find a different topic about which to joke?"
Pretty soon, his handlers are going to have to tackle, hog tie and gag him.
