    Take the names and parties off that, and it's a policy change I tend to agree with.

    I happen to disagree with the argument, but it's an actual principled stand, which seem to be rare these days. Mitigating powers when your party controls the seat is a healthy feature of democracy.

    In theory I can see the logic

    But in an instance where you need to use the codes (and maybe the issue is whether or not nukes should be used period) and using them is in a time sensitive manner ... do we really want the use of the codes to get locked up in bureaucracy given that we have a government that can’t agree on anything to begin with?
    The Dem proposal mentions something about a concurring opinion within presidential chain of succession. I don't know what I think about the details of that. However, in concept, I'm intrigued. Because I am a dork, I've read a fair amount about this stuff in the last couple years. There is much room for improvement.

    Unless another decision maker isn't around. But Slow Joe can't be trusted with a squirt gun. Nice steal you dipshits.

    The photos I posted was from the Dead Zone a early Steven King classic and 1983 movie. Going back to Dr Strangeglove this has been a thing that we really don't know how to deal with. As I recall Denzel had to save the world from Gene Hackman on a nuclear sub.

    Would a committee be more or less likely to kill a billion people or so than one man?

    Maybe just institute the Green New Deal and lose half the population the old fashioned way - starvation and disease

    It is interesting that a democrat president is getting this treatment.

    Gaia willing.

    Edit: I don't remember a nuke/CnC plot line from Dead Zone. Not sure if I ever saw the movie.

    Matthew Broderick once saved the world by playing Tic Tac Toe with a sentient computer that went rogue with nukes and was way ahead of its tim technologically. AI in the mid-80s movies knew more than those silly generals in Colorado!

    Greg Stilson was the son of a bible salesman who was running for Senate as a populist. So you know he's dangerous already. The Christopher Walken shakes his hand and sees the vision of President Stilson threatening to cut off the hand of a general to launch the nukes as was his destiny.

    Walken's dead-zone skit on SNL was even better.

    He's got his #FauciOuchies as I recall. Let him run, that's the point.
