President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Lost in the shuffle after the Syria bombing, but the last installment of the LA Times' series of editorials on Trump.

Why we took a stand on Trump

 

Why we took a stand. LOL.

It's like they want points for bravery.

 

It's funny. I know I'm not cut out to be the leader of a country, but maybe that's because I don't have a firm grasp of how "murdering innocent civilians" helps me remain in power.

This much I know:

It causes world outrage.
It causes military action against your country
It reorganizes priorities around the world toward your removal from power.

Those are the negatives. Now, there must be some positives, mustn't there be? Some really, really good reason to go around murdering your civilians that will override all those potential negative consequences. So what are they?

 

I don't think it's very complicated. The enemy is surrounded by civilians.

He wants to kill the enemy, and doesn't care if he has to kill civilians to do so.

 

Part V:

Conspiracy Theorist in Chief

I was always disappointed in Rocky V. Was Tommy "The Machine" Gunn someone we could empathize with? Not really. Was he a protagonist or an antagonist? Tough to say until the final act, and then he was full-blown insane.

 

On the other hand, Rocky VI was a pretty good movie. It took some shortcuts, but it generally succeeded.

 

Uh, there was no Rocky VI. Perhaps you mean "Rocky Balboa," which was a mighty fine film. But don't let the facts get in the way of your story.

 

Rocky Balboa IS Rocky VI. The name made no sense. It should have been Rocky VI, and thus it is.

 

#falsefacts

 

I sure hope they find it.

 

You could learn from OOP, he is always quick to admit when he is mistaken.

 

Am I crazy, or was it OOP who first used "fair enough" in an effort to admit he was wrong?
