Around to see who is aware who might be wavering, Steve and see how unqualified he is. What caught me by surprise? There is a movement in Congress to take the power of the football. The nuclear ball away from the president is a letter to Joe Biden on nuclear weapons. Vesting one person with this authority they threatened to attack nuclear weapons. It cut other officials to address concerns about the presidents judgment. They dont trust Joe Biden with they dont trust Joe Biden with the Nuclear football, apparently not one argument or another. With regard to what extent we are involved in foreign conflicts and one could have one opinion or another about as what point
