    I disagree. Completely. There have been enough instances through the years of these things turning out to be an inside job to smear the other side that one would be derelict not to raise it. The cops are raising it, I promise.

    Do you really want Clinton or Trump having any say in whether or not your dick still works now or in the future?

    I didn't make an assertion. You did, and now you can't support it.

    No, but I fear both of them. Nobody, no one, and no one's dicks are safe. Clits too.

    I'm not the one talking out of his ass. That would be Dickie, and he did it very shortly after trolling others by claiming they couldn't support their assertions regarding the Trump video. Either people can say whatever they want or they should back up the claims they make. Dickie really should take a side in such matters.

    Yes, you did. And see the post above this one. Shottie is right.

    Except for that DOJ suit about him not renting to blacks.

    Sorry, I can't let that pass. In Jan. 1950, Dean Atcheson gave a speech regarding the American sphere of influence. South Korea was not mentioned, and North Korea took that as meaning that the U.S. would not defend it. North Korea invaded in June and damn near overran the South in a few weeks. Politically motivated and deep budget cuts had been made to the armed forces in the wake of WWII, and that "peace dividend" meant that the Marine Corps was at roughly half strength. The Army was heavily over officered and under strength in the enlisted ranks, and because of the budget cuts troop training was inadequate and the armed forces were short of ammunition. We were desperately under strength when it dropped in the pot in Korea. There were not enough American troops in Korea to hold it, and they were caught almost completely by surprise as well.

    After the reserves were called up and he was reinforced, MacArthur brought off the very risky amphibious invasion at Inchon. This cut NK supply lines and forced them back north, allowing time for more troops to be brought to bear.

    MacArthur's overreaching brought China's invasion in October, but the war was well under way by then.

    Funny thing about the 38th parallel (the original boundary between NK and SK) ... only reason that became the line of demarcation (soldiers north of it surrendered to the Soviets, soldiers south of it surrendered to the Allies) was cartographical convenience: It was on most maps that were in use at the time.
