War should never be used as a course correction. Hopefully, he was just spewing idiotic emotions at that moment. I'm sure he found his sanity later.
I frankly like that fact that Trump seems more peaceful and we are doing the exact opposite of participating in wars all over the world for what we call eventual peace.
Obama killed more people in the name of peacekeeping than any other president. Not my thing.
I'm not a Trump supporter but I do support real peace. I don't like America acting like the worlds police force.
Hew immediately took back the "nuclear war" statement in his very next sentence. Of course, that did not stop Fox from using it as the headline.
Total crap. This is and example of biased reporting.
Full dialogue
I remember 2006. What happened is that George W. Bush, he put us in two disastrous wars and we were headed toward the biggest financial disaster since the Great Depression," Steyer said.
"So if the answer is that we need those three things to happen for a course correction, I'd prefer to move a little quicker," he added. "Maybe we can have, like, a nuclear war and then we get a real course correction."
Steyer quickly walked back the remark in the interview, stressing that he was hoping to spur Trump's impeachment to prevent "suffering" of Americans and others around the world.
"I should be a little bit more tempered: I take back that remark about nuclear war. The correction happened because the United States got screwed, and American citizens lost their houses and American citizens lost their lives," he said.
"We're trying to act expeditiously to avoid the suffering of American citizens," Steyer concluded.
He left out how Obama continued the Bush wars. Do you think they ended in 2008?
He also left out the loosening of the banking regulations that occurred with Republican house\senate and was signed by Bill Clinton....and lays it all in the lap of Bush lol.
Also, walking back the statement still shows his mindset. Upon saying it out loud, he realized how stupid it sounded but we've had tons of threads like that here over the past 2 years or so....and still no nuke war.
Please address my first two points in any response. Thanks in advance.
“Left wing billionaire Tom Steyer suggests in a Rolling Stone interview this week that “nuclear war” could provide a “course correction” for the U.S. following Donald Trump’s presidency”
What's tds an inside slur that's cool for corny people to use?

Completely off topic. The issue was his use of the comment "nuclear war" for a course correction. Address how the article headline is misleading.
You mean with anything but talk? The same thing the OP feigns such outrage over?
So, you're mad because one side said something bad, the other responded...and your pissed "the other" responded....with the same rhetoric...amazing.....
Give me a break. As though Trump has never said anything stupid or inane. At least he was smart enough to retract it quickly. Trump never retracts his utterances no matter how moronic.
The difference is that the President has the authority and privilege to say things that affect national security, whereas you and Steyer do not. Thus, Steyer's such utterances warrant apologies. Trump doesn't owe anyone an apology, least of all liberals, you, or Steyer. His word, no matter how moronic you think it is, is the word of the leader of the most powerful nation on planet Earth. He doesn't owe anyone an explanation who doesn't have top level security clearance.
