Steve Benson for October 17, 2017

Thanks Republicons!

Remember when idiot candidate Trump said he would stop stupid wars? Suckers!

Time for the remake of “Dr. Strangelove, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb” Sure, the movie cast could have Rex Tillerson as Slim Pickens, Mike Pence could play the crazy SAC general protecting his precious bodily fluids, Alec Baldwin could play President Donald Trump, while Donald Trump plays God.

Tillerson will continue to be the adult calling for diplomacy while the child Trump continues to drop bombs.

The “until the first bomb drops” statement by Tillerson is hardly comforting.

As usual, Mr Benson you are right on target. Indeed worthy of a Pulitzer.

Trump doesn’t really care if the first bomb drops or not. He doesn’t care where it will drop. He wants to be the president who starts World War 3. If we have nuclear weapons why don’t we use them?…. Isn’t that what he said?…. Did anyone ever explain to him the consequences of nuclear war.... maybe he really believes in global warming.. And sees nuclear war with its following nuclear winter as a way of cooling the planet down.???

Dr. Strangelove: Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost if you keep it a secret! Why didn’t you tell the world, eh?

Ambassador de Sadesky: It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises.

“…and will become unnecessary after the first one detonates. Especially rough on surrounding countries, but you can’t make an omelette without vaporizing a few eggs.”

Trying to remember what movie the original of this picture was from.
