President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

What will probably end up happening in North Korea will in no way be serving the country, only one mentally ill man's insatiable ego.

 

This is really a dangerous stew on the stove. Bolton, the North Korea situation and tariffs on the Chinese. You need China "on that wall" if you are dealing with North Korea.
It looks like the President is going all in with a pair of 4s.

 

For that to happen, Cobb would have to have friends.

 

Now do . . . (too fucking numerous to even pick one)

 

After the Iraq fiasco, the Republicans have zero credibility to start any fucking war.

 

Yeah, and the Republicans will shriek that anyone who votes against them doesn't support the troops and hates America.

North Korea: Republican Fiasco 2, Nuclear Boogaloo.

 

Bolton is also hostile to Palestinian claims to statehood.
The holder of this office was never intended to have such strident views.

 

What is crazy is that we're still fighting the war on terror under a law passed 17 years ago. How many currently in Congress have actually voted to authorize the current fight? Two Presidents haven't signed off on it either.
I have no problem with the initial vote. I do have a problem that a declaration of war doesn't need to be renewed after six years or so.

Only 90 current member of the House, not even a quarter - and just 22 current Senators voted to go to the war we are still fighting. Rep. Barbara Lee voted no on the two paragraph bill.

Trump's a freaking billionaire. Why can't he hire an attorney as good as this guy? Avenatti is beating his brains in without setting foot in court.

 

We should be so lucky as to have this be a rerun of Bush's Iraq fiasco. While we wasted American lives and resources for very little tangible gain, we nominally "won."

This looks a lot more like Vietnam, Part II. Complete with the likely loss.

 

If a shooting war with NK starts, there will be tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of SK and American military casualties within a couple of weeks, if not a few days. There are 8,000 to 10,000 NK artillery tubes in hardened bunkers which can range on Seoul and their targeting is pre-plotted. We won't be able to knock them out fast enough to prevent mass casualties.

There are over ten million people in Seoul. If thousands of artillery shells start falling it will be disastrous.
