Carl Sagan warned of a nuclear winter, read below, wide use of nuclear weapons can have results much more far reaching than are in the general discussion. These weapons in the hand of a mad man who believes he is invulnerable and infallible. God help us all.

The answer is "Yes". Bankers will survive the holocaust of nuclear war. Or is that cockroaches?

I'd say, retract the whole thing.

Then ask yourself if you'd hire either one (Kim Jong-un or Donny-Johnny Trump) to baby sit your kids; or, to feed your dog; or, to water your plants.

My answer is YES, I would be willing to have Donald Trump watch my granddaughters, water my plants, etc. He has raised some pretty decent kids, regardless of what you think of his political views. Have have the kids of our left wing liberals turned out -- many of them think they selfish, foolish, greedy, self-serving individuals who cannot stand the thought of not getting everything they want RIGHT NOW!!
