LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD NEWS TODAY with the RISKS and CONSEQUENCES of TOMORROW
Rachel Maddow at “MSNBC” said all that needs to be said last night about the White House Trump/DOGE firing of our “all things nuclear” protection program and then trying to hire them all back (which didn’t go too well by the way). So I’ll just leave this almost unbelievable FUBAR SNAFU by Trump and Musk and his “DOGE” (or puppy-dog investigation kiddie team) program — none of whom, including the two leaders, have the slightest idea about what in the hell they are doing. (Thank you Rachel.)
. . . and then an hour later Lawrence O’Donnell followed up with the Social Security FUBAR SNAFU by the same crew. The two leaders need to be arrested and confined to solitary confinement jail cells, and the “puppy-dog” whiz kids need to be rounded up and severely disciplined and never allowed to touch a computer again (Thank you Lawrence.) . . . ~llaw
Have you considered resigning?’: Maddow calls out Trump staffers who fired nuclear safety personnel
