President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

"Billionaires that"

 

Sure, until November 2020.

 

Well, at least they'd have toilet paper.

 

The Lamps are Going Out in Asia | 38 North: Informed Analysis of North Korea

"Trump’s over-the-top attack on the Iran nuclear agreement in the UN—a body that had fully endorsed that agreement with a unanimous UN Security Council Resolution—undermines his credibility as a negotiating partner for any nuclear agreement with North Korea. If the Iran agreement is trashed, Kim Jong Un would be a fool of the first order to negotiate any reduction in his deterrent with the United States. In other words, in a nuclearized environment in which both North Korea and the US have sound military reasons to want to attack first, Trump informed the North Koreans that he will not be bound by a diplomatic agreement and his military intent is the extinction of the DPRK. He has cornered a vicious animal and told it he intends to kill it and its young. His announcement last week of far-reaching secondary economic sanctions designed to unilaterally impose a complete trade and financial embargo on North Korea is likely to pour gasoline on the fire he set in New York."

 

This Hookstead guy is a UW Madison grad and has been a laughing stock for years. His employment is not a good look for The Daily Caller.

 

Think of the tourism!

 

Well, no. If you want to think like that, at least get it right. You have to survive until 20 JAN 2021.

 

Not to be outdone:

 

This. The more our idiot government blusters, the more pursuing better nuclear technology is the only rational choice from their POV.

 

Expanded Popovich quotes ...

"We do live in a difficult time. We all know why [and] where the source is, where a lot of the division comes from," Popovich said. "To dwell on that is the wrong way to go. [It's] so obvious now, it is boring. The childishness, the gratuitous fear-mongering and race baiting has been so consistent. It's almost expected. [The] bar has been lowered so far, I think it's more important to be thinking about what to do, more organic, [grass]roots-based level.

"Think about the efforts to restrict voter registration, comments that demean cultures, ethnic groups, races, women. What can be done in an organic way to fight that? We know where the power is. We know the racism that exists. It has gone beyond that to the point where I'm more worried and confused by the people around the president.

"These are intelligent people who know exactly what is going on, who were basically very negative about his actions. But now it's condoned. We saw it this weekend about people who should be fired [for protesting during the national anthem]. I wonder what the people think about who voted for him, where their line is. Where does the morality and decency kick in?

"I understand very well, they didn't like their choice economically. A lot of people had a problem. He was the right guy at the right time to tap into that mood. People overlooked one hell of a lot to pull that trigger in that direction. They wanted change, they felt ignored. But at what price? One wonders what is in their heads. Have they come to the conclusion they had the wrong vehicle? Might have had good ideas, but someone else had a little bit more decency about how they approach other people and other groups might have [been] served better."
