@Dr.Knowbuddy My point was...... Trump "thinks" he knows more than anyone, even the generals that have been in service for yrs. Trump on the other hand never served in the service, and got 5 deferments, 1 cause his foot hurt!!!!! He "thinks" he knows more than anyone!!!!

And he lied again...

Yea don't get me wrong Trump is a liar.. all politicians are. Left or Right is just a fallacy. They're all liars. It's a big club and we're not in it.

In a lot of ways, Trump reminds me of my ex-husband. There are some important things I learned. The first one is, there is no clear connection between what gets said and what actually is the case. With Trump, and on issue, absolutely nothing he says really surprises me. When he says something, I take it to mean that, at the moment he said it, saying it seemed like a good idea to him. Or, maybe, it just felt like the thing to say. Doesn't have anything to do with anything I'd call "truth". When it comes to actions, the same thing applies. Unfortunately. Which, in this case, is the real problem. If he could actually order the bombing of North Korea (or anyone else) in the heat of the moment, because it felt like the thing to do, I have no doubt he'd do it. I DO worry about this some. Because I don't know what the real checks on that are. I'd like to think that someone, somewhere, would at least stall long enough for some other idea to enter The Trump's head, so he can veer off in a less destructive direction.

In the case of North Korea, I'm kind of worried that THEIR 'dear leader" is ALSO capable of hitting the "launch" button, just because it seemed like a good idea at the time. I wish we could just lock these guys up together in a room someplace and forget they're there!

Hopefully if these two things happen, it'll be at the exact same time.

I can see it now....
*Insert Hollywood style scene change*

Trumph: "Fire the missile!"

Secretary of Defence: "Oookay... Just one?"

Trumph: "Of course just one! Those things are expensive! I'm trying to run a business... err... country here!"

S.O.D.: *Sigh* "Whatever... Missile away!"

*Meanwhile in Pyongyang...*

Kim Jung Un: "Fire the missiles!"

War Minister: "Missiles? We could only afford one. Those things are expensive!"

Kim Jung Un: "Just fire the damn thing! I'm so having you executed after this..."

War Minister: *Sigh* "Whatever... Missile away!"


*The two missiles fly through the air arcing in their trajectories towards their targets.... CRUNCH!!! Whistling sound..... SPLASH!*


*Back in the White House...*

Trumph: "What happened!?"

S.O.D.: "Umm... they bumped into each other."

Trumph: "What? What do you mean?"

S.O.D.: "I mean, they crashed into each other and have fallen harmlessly into the pacific."

Trumph: "What do we do?"

S.O.D.: "Well. You could try calling North Korea and ask for their insurance information. But, I don't think they have ICBM insurance there."

Trumph: "That's stupid! What else can we do?"

S.O.D.: "You could go eat lunch and have your nap time?"

Trumph: "Yeah! Good! Best idea you've had all day!"
*Stomping off with a pouty face*


*Back in Pyongyang...*

Kim Jung Un: "Did we blow them all up?"

War Minister: "Umm... Yeah.. Yeah! That's exactly what happened."

Kim Jung Un: "Good! I'm hungry! I'm going to have lunch then I want a nap! Anyone who wakes me will be shot!"
*Stomping off with a communist pouty face*

Thus ends World War Three. :p

:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

I wonder if it's too late to take out "Trump insurance"? :)

If this wasn't so serious with 2 leaders that are none to stable it would be hilarious. Not sure which of them is more scary!!!!

I (apparently) don't speak for the majority of Canada.
I don't think America is the biggest threa...

I think the poll results had more to do with the nationalistic attitude of the general population at this time. Someone had to vote for trump!

 

[scout86]

Someone had to vote for trump!

They did. But, it, technically, wasn't even a numerical majority of the people who voted, much less a majority of the population.

I know. What a strange and confusing system!

I just went out to the NAACP web site & couldn't find anything on this. Not saying it's not accurate. Could be they haven't updated the web site yet.

My source on this was NPR

. Yes it is, and I wish we could get rid of the stupid electoral voting system we have. It's should be the popular vote, but sad to say, it isn't!!!!!

 

[scout86]

@ShikibuZ , I've heard and read this story in several reliable places today. When I checked earlier, it still wasn't on the NAACP national web site. It WAS on the MO NAACP web site though.

It's really a sorry state of affairs when such warnings seem to be necessary!

Well, I guess that Trump figures he's worked sooooooo hard these past few months that he will soon be leaving for a 17 day vacation. Hmmmmmm. How many weekends away has he had at the cost of tax payers? And now his 17 day vacation.... And he said Obama golfed and took too many vacation!!!!!!

Must be tough work at the bully pulpit and making all those phone calls where you beg other leaders to not make you look bad!!!! LOL!!!!! Keep the leaks coming.

Go Mueller another grand jury!!!!!!!
