    Yep. Maybe this is all just about manufacturing a fake victory.

    There really were no new provocations by NK here. The stuff about the miniaturized nuke, as I understand, is something we already knew (and simply having a technology is not, in itself, a provocation). The stuff about attacking Guam was entirely in response to Trump's threats, and the same sort of bluster we've heard from them for decades now.

    Seems Trump's put a sizable chunk of the world on pins and needles simply because he felt like creating some drama to pat himself on the back for later.

    I live in the county next to his. About six weeks ago I got a postcard from the elections board stating that they understood my address had changed (it hadn't, been here four years and voted in every election during that time) and I had to go online and update my information or else I would be listed as an inactive voter.

    Of note, our Secretary of State has some, shall we say, old-fashioned views on the franchise.

    Plus, knocking Mueller/Russia off the front pages for a few cycles. Textbook diversion. Wagging The Dog.

    Then you are taking a page from Newt Gingrich's playbook, refusing to allow the facts to get in the way of your incorrect beliefs.

    Still haven't read the Bowden story, huh?

    This is like Old_Tony with "Making a Murderer."

    Methinks Trump watched Full Metal Jacket during his golfing rain delay the other day.

    Damn. I knew you were going to go there. I just didn't think you'd be so vicous about it.

    Why do you feel the need to insert these sort of lines into everything you post? They don't strengthen your point, they don't add substantive info, they are not clever, they only make you look like a dick.

    I don't know where you were on the day God handed out social skills, but you just do not seem to get how to converse with people in a way that does not cause them to dislike you.

    In that case, I hope Mike Pence has an extra mop.

    I just can get over this Trump quote about the Manafort raid.

    This is the guy who wanted cops to let suspects bash their head on the door frame of cruisers just the other day, and now we're worried that Mrs. Manafort might have to come to the door in her fuzzy slippers?
