Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This dumbass couldn’t tell you what nuclear testing was if you explained it to him like he was 5
"I don't give a fuck, something racist, several n words. It's gonna help me stay in power and that's all I care about and the only thing that matters." - child rapist president dump
Why? They work... We checked.
Orange Don wants to make sure he can launch them the next time someone calls him names, without anyone being able to stop him
This is horrifying. Like, mind-bogglingly bad.
It's also a blatant lie. Other countries are not testing nuclear weapons, they're running simulations. We didn't do that in the 60s because it wasn't possible, but the US (and presumably China/Russia) literally have giant supercomputers for this purpose now.
...And we would know if they were doing real testing because it would show up on seismographs.
But who cares about truth? Or sanity? No, all my relatives (even scientifically minded ones) won't even bat an eye, lest some Democrat steal their retirement, ugh.
Good time to remind that, in all History, only one country used nuclear bombs in a war.
Twice!
For "Research Purposes" (TM)
Trumplethinskin is too stupid to understand any of that . He desperately wants to to be the one to trigger a spectacular overreaction and turn another country into glass.
#smallcarrotproblems
Are they trying to figure out what the expiration date is on nuclear warheads? The fuq are they still needing to test for?
Let's just blow up our arsenal for the heck of it boyz, it will make for a good twitter post!
We call this an eye for an eye approach and it will continue until the whole world is blind...
Even if it wasn't for the other million reasons, this guy's grammar alone should disqualify him from having the nuclear codes.
Just shows he is desperately trying to create many more distractions from the Epstein files to see what works.
He's been itching to nuke something since his first term. Hurricanes, he suggested at one point. And Americans voted him into office twice. Fucking morons.

Some Americans voted for him 3 times!
Seriously, imagine how fucking dumb you would have to be to fill out three separate ballots over nearly a decade voting for a failed reality TV star.
Some Americans voted for him 3 times!
so far...
Choose one...global warming or nuclear winter. I think that is our futures only options.
There's always the mass-extinction asteroid option to look forward to.
Dumbass probably watched a movie and was like duuuuh that looks cool lolz...
He's going to look at one directly, just like he did with the eclipse.
We don’t need an another hero.
And he's doing this while the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is furloughed... 🧐
“Was department”
ROFL! He’s like a little child in a cardboard fort, pretending the furniture is a threat.
Someone needs to put him in a home where he can pretend to be whatever he wants.
That guy is an absolute fud! He sees some other moron do it, and thinks he has to do it too so he looks "alpha"... Talk about your beta bitches, jesus christ.
don't indulge his bullshit attempt to rename the DOD
You have to. He didn't start weapons testing for defense he's going to go into war and take the offensive
One can never be sure what President Brain Worms is talking about but I'm pretty sure Obama started a ten year plan to modernize our nuclear forces early in his presidency.
A giant waste of money. 800 nukes is plenty for pretty much anything and launching 100 would probably mean the end of life as we know it on planet earth. If you wanted to blow a bunch of money on the military there are better ways to do it.
Ah, the "I had no choice!" argument for scaling up world tension. Yeah, we've never heard that one before. Hitler also "had no choice" but to invade Sudetenland, Austria and Poland.
The "we had no choice" argument is always used to take the victim role as an excuse to justify anything you like. Whether it is joining wars because they sank your illegal weapons shipment hidden in an ocean liner, invading a country because you made it look like they sank your ship, invade a country because a few terrorists attacked your country, invade a country because you claim there might be weapons of mass destruction, send troops and chemical weapons to a dictatorial regime because the freedom fighters threaten your overseas naval base, invade a country for denazification, commit ethnic cleansing, genocide and other horrible war crimes because some terrorist extremists attacked your country after years and years of oppression and apartheid, etc etc etc. There are so many examples in history where this tactic has been used. The entire cold war thrived on this bullshit argument "look at them, I have no choice".
"I'm going to do something bad, so I find a way to justify it."
- every dictator, agressor, war criminal in history.
Can someone just tell him no one else has nuclear fusion power stations yet but (china|EU|Russia) are close and how much money it would make.
It would make money at a country level, but does it fill his personal wallets like the oil industry?
So it's worthless for him
Is he unstable enough for the 25th amendment yet? Asking for a friend.
He's been unstable enough for that, for 9 years
ffs we're still in 2025 man.
The real crazy people who would cause a nuclear wae are israel and the usa leaders not Iran
Testing for what exactly? Do we not know enough about them already?
Cognition. He needs to show he's smarter than a warhead.
Primative chest pounding. He has to prove his chest makes a bigger sound. Or his nuke is bigger than their dick.
Are any other countries actually actively testing nuclear weapons?
(I don't think North Korea counts/is.)
