WFB: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) called tactical nuclear weapons “tactile” twice Friday during a meet-and-greet in New Hampshire.
Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, spoke at Flight Coffee in Dover, where she discussed her opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.
“We used to say we don’t worry about a first strike because a first strike would end in complete devastation of the person who fired nuclear weapons,” Gillibrand said. “When you say you want to develop low-yield nuclear weapons that are tactile, what you’re saying is you want to use them.”
She later used the term “tactile” again when talking about her opposition to the defense bill. She said that she found it “not believable” when the Trump administration said that if nuclear weapons were usable, then they were a better threat. She said she opposed the entire defense bill because of that one provision.
“If I am president, I am going to make sure we unwind that completely, and I don’t think we should be trying to create tactile nuclear weapons. Not only is it a waste of money, but it increases the risk of actually using them,” Gillibrand said. more here
She was thinking about Clinton. Weinstein, Weiner, and Biden.
If they aren’t tactile, do they exist???
WWBFD?
(what would billy fuster do?)
Before she forms an opinion on our weapons development, she should take a look at Russia, China and our other enemies and what they have been doing with theirs (and how they intend to use them).
^ Carter: Billy Fuster would get all analytically tactile.
“Did I say “tactile”? I meant “testicle” oops, dang it!”
“vocal and visual signals become less important as tactile signals intensify”
Touch me in the morning.

But as GW pointed out, there’s a difference between “nuclear” and “nucular.”
So the list of possibilities is growing geometrically!
Tactile nuclear
Tactile nucular
Tactical nuclear
Tactical nucular
Who do we call on this? We obviously need clarification.
Ya gotta admit, a nuclear weapon does reach out and touch someone.
apologies to Ma Bell
Gillibrand, the rich mans AOC.
Who cares? My God people cry about everything.
If you combined the I.Q.s of everyone currently in the Libtard Clown Car/Bus that’s currently running for head socialist, you’d end up with a negative number.
…I would have absolutely no problem with the Democrat party feeling a nuclear weapon.
…the effects of one, anyway…
subconsciously, her mind is on that nxivm sex cult, and when or how it is going to bite her in the ass. She’s wondering if she should wax her ass before her family is implicated.
Mike, we’re laughing, not crying. Laughter is the best strategery.
“My God people cry about everything.”sic
I care Mike, I care about proper word use, and commas.
Because those shiny, cylindrical machines need to be rubbed.
@Bad – which would be BAD, Brad. But there are good negative numbers, And imaginary ones, too. On the other hand, the best analogy to a negative IQ is probably a roach motel. Democrat roaches check-in, but they don’t check-out.
She’s an obama-class fool.
They think they can sneak another one in.
@OpenTheDoor:
Ahem.
I care, Mike; I care about proper usage, and commas.

I would likely accept the misuse of a word in a general conversation but coming from somebody on the Armed Services Committee and a candidate for President I think becomes a real issue. Tactical use of nukes is becoming a cornerstone of US defense policy and a President that obviously doesn’t understand the difference between it and tactile isn’t ready for the big seat.
Wasn’t Gillibrand supposed to just be a placeholder of Clinton’s senate seat until the next election? I gather it was mostly a popularity contest and she had no real qualifications for the job.
So … she should clarify?
She has NO problem with the Strategic use of nuclear weapons – wiping cities and “innocents” off the map – but draws the line at tactical (or tactile) nuclear weapons – (for instance) stopping the First Guard’s Tank Army before it can penetrate the Brenner Pass?
She really should be given a chance to explain her distinction.
Why is it so much better to mass murder than to selectively excise?
I know … no one in the media is going to ask …
izlamo delenda est …

A negative IQ would be a vacuum. They look to be running at about 10 to the minus Torr.
We prefer tactile nylon stockings over here…the ones with the line up the back…yeah, baby, that’s the ticket!
@Al, never made it to full Nazi, just a capo, on the neck of a Nazi.
@Diand Reynold; Shouldn’t that be “BRAND her in the ass” and not bite?
@Bad_Brad: …which explains that Progressive sucking sound we all hear! Which explains why one can’t stay far enough away from them, lest one get sucked into an information black hole. Reagan was so right.

> @Al, never made it to full Nazi, just a capo, on the neck of a Nazi.
Was that a 6 string Nazi? Or 12?
Sex cultist says what?
@Anon, 8 string, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.
“Tactile” eh? I think she was thinking of the
lithium battery powered, vibrating kind of “nuke”.
and of course I meant to say “..a Senator that doesn’t understand..” not the President. Damn, even with a chance to edit the comment I still screw up.
BTW, did you see where The NY Times actually described Joe Biden’s groping and hair sniffing as “Joe Biden’s Tactile Style of Retail Politicking?”
And no, I did not make that up … I wish I had, but I’m not that funny
Why she hate tac tiles? We can retile our nukes any way she want’s them.
Personally I’d go for a mosaic. Probably Edvard Munchs’ ‘scream’.
PLEASE. NO BANKSYS ON OUR NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
Call for Dr. Freud! Dr. Sigmund Freud, please pick up the white courtesy phone!
Her fetish is feeling up nuclear weapons.
Tactile is me putting tiny pretzels in salads and chips on my sandwiches. I’m late for lunch, peeps, what do you expect!?
And you don’t need a comma with the “and” there and only two items. Kudos on the semi-colon, though, usually people think they’re interchangeable with commas.
Hey, Mike, ever read the story about the panda that shot a bunch pf people in a cafe?
Sounds like she’d get a BANG, out of feeling them up! 😮
Tactility – it’s a thing.
Tactiling- it’s the action of touchy-feelyness.
Tactilicious – it’s good tasting pretzel or potato chip bits on your sandwich (kudos to Lisl).
Tacti-testical – well, you know.
