O'Keefe said he explained to Trump that the request did not fall into his "line of work," and that he considered himself and his colleagues to be journalists, not "private eyes."

But that didn't seem to deter Trump. At the end of the meeting, O'Keefe wrote, "Trump shook my hand, encouraged me to keep up the good work, and half-whispered, 'Do Columbia.'"

Radiolab is awesome. If y'all just want dry content you can read the transcripts.

Trump might have just been talking about a pornstar named Columbia.

B) they’re right, basically nobody can say no to the order but it’s not like he literally just pushes a button and the nukes fly. He does actually have to talk to people.

Nah, Pence has the key sewn into his right ventricle. That “football “ just has a bottle of Jack and a big knife in it

Wow, think I found the problem. Is that galactic brain or just crystal meth?

I find the hosts and production annoying also but i have a friend who loves it. It doesn’t bother me enough not to listen though.

We had the Cuban Missile Crisis and we had the Hawaiian Missile Crisis and two great presidents will forever be remembered for successfully navigating the world through these crises. Thank you John Kennedy and thank you Donald Trump.

On the question of what constitutes an illegal order:

https://www.npr.org/2017/11/29/56731...uclear-strikes

Quote:

CHARLIE DUNLAP: The challenge, of course, is determining in a very short timeframe whether an order is illegal.

WELNA: That's retired Brigadier General Charlie Dunlap. He teaches law now at Duke University, but he was once the senior legal adviser to the commander of STRATCOM. Dunlap says there's a presumption in the military that all orders are legal unless they're obviously illegal, rather than simply being a bad idea. But during more than three years at STRATCOM, the issue was never put to the test.

DUNLAP: I don't recall ever, even in an exercise, receiving what would be a patently illegal order that would mandate disobedience.

WELNA: Under established procedure, the STRATCOM commander in Omaha is the one person the president would most likely talk with before ordering a nuclear strike. But according to Bruce Blair, a Princeton University scholar who is a former nuclear launch officer, the president could also skip that conversation.

BRUCE BLAIR: There are no safeguards on the president's authority to order the use of nuclear weapons. He simply can order up their use to the Pentagon war room, and they will carry out the order.

WELNA: And whether it's legal would likely only be decided later. David Welna, NPR News, Washington.

Nothing about Hawaii. No words of comfort to a state that literally thought they were getting nuked this morning.

If we're generous and assume that Trump is aware that Hawaii and Haiti are different places, what are the odds that he knows which of them is a US state?

Hawaii didn’t vote for him, so he knows who they are.

Come to think of it since Hawaii and CA are most in the line of fire, they should really pay more taxes to cover missile defense.

California contributes far more to the country than whatever red ****hole you live in. Also go **** yourself for being cool with Hawaii being hit with a missile for not voting for Trump.

Listen bro, people should pay their fair share. If Nebraska was in the crosshairs I would gladly cough up more money.

Per that chart Californians pay $1100 to other states, Nebraskans pay $1267. They should pay their fair share.
