The Politics Thread

It's deliberate. He's destroying America's political infrastructure.
There's some argument as to whether it's due to conservative attitudes to government or Russian influence.
Might be a little of Column A and a little of Column B, though.

 

I'm thinking Trump and One Hung Low are acting like two kids arguing who has the biggest toys and crying to mum about it!

 

"I'm going to end the world!"
"No I'M going to end the world!"

On the subject of the rich man's Alan Sugar, let's check and see how CNN's first pro-Trump hire is doing...

Oh.

 

It's a dick waving contest, Smithy.

Trump is big on rhetoric, but let's hope it's just that. Unless fat boy is stupid enough to try anything I think it'll quieter down.

 

North Korea has always acted like this. Trump's reacted to distract from his legal issues.
He's a fruitcake though, so who knows how far he'll go with this ****?
The Korean issue's going to come to a head eventually, though. Should've been dealt with years ago.

 

I always assume that their sabre-rattling is at least proportional
to their current economic state (food production etc) , and an
attempt to make patriotic fervour an "opiate of the masses" .

If so, things there must currently be getting very bad indeed.

 

I'm not sure that they've done anything different, to be honest.
Ongoing missile tests, just like they've had for years and a bit of anti-American rhetoric.
All pretty standard.

They've ramped it up a bit because Trump responded, as far as I can see.
The Great Leader can't be seen as weak to his adoring public. Not sure which one I'm referring to there...

 

It amazes me the twits that follow these idiots.Mind you,in N korea fatty will kill you if you don't perform like his pet monkeys!

 

Funnily enough I can't find any reports about members of the "regressive left" deliberately running over Milo Yiannopoulos because they disagreed with him - but I sure as hell can find plenty of articles about some intolerant ****stick deliberately running over and killing somebody because they didn't like it when a large number of people said him and his entitled dullard friends have no comprehension of what oppression looks like so they have no right to bawl about being oppressed.

 

And Trump has not singled out the Alt Right for condemnation despite their being responsible... Now he's getting more criticism from Republicans.

 

Having a tough time deciding which is the better response...

 

Orrin Hatch is about 4th in line for the Presidency, rather bizarrely.
If Trump, Pence and Ryan were all implicated in the Russia scandal and had to be removed, then he'd take over.
He's also about 8,000 years old.

 

Which by my understanding makes him considerably younger than some of his colleagues

 

And slightly older than some of them think the planet is.

 

I saw a Twitter chain yesterday where his classmates were discussing him and his political views.
Nobody was surprised that he was there, which pretty much says it all.
He's studying for history degree, which might help him to find his future prospects...

 

If he was studying a history degree he might have noticed that he's throwing his support behind the losing sides of the American Civil War and World War II...

 

He was particularly focused on ancient history, apparently.
Maybe he'll drop the whole Nazi thing when he catches up and reads about the last couple of centuries?

 

You've got to go with the Dead Kennedys, every time
