Re: The political hodge podge thread

Here's the thing about Trump:

He's nuts. He's fucking out of his mind crazy. He's bull headed and maniacal. He's egotistical and short sighted. He is, everything we've always wanted in a president. Just stop complaining about him, someday, all this stuff will be done and over. And we'll be sad.

No. Also you're not my boss.

[DWags]

O.K., then don't. But face it, Pence is gonna be boring as hell, doing shit by the book, not tweeting shit out, not getting urinated on by russian prostitutes, not giving state secrets out to their top spy, not firing guys who are investigating him, not eating dinner at Marlago and having all the people being able to pick up his conversations on phones, not appointing family to key positions, not nominating people who are racist and insane for key cabinet positions.

You want that, I don't. And when Spicey leaves with Trump, you'll be doubly sad. Just wait and see. And if I was your boss, you'd only have to get me coffee if you wanted some.

[Travis of the Cosmos]

Yeah, dwags, I guess you and I differ in that you want some entertainment out of politics. I don't. I want boring that I don't think about for entire days at a time so that I can focus on things that are supposed to entertain me like sports or movies or golf or finding clever ways to masturbate or cooking.

[DWags]

If it makes you feel better Trav, I bet Trump thinks about clever ways to masterbate. But I see your point, you kind of just want someone to take care of the U.S. Business and not put us in danger or shit like that. It seems the least a president could do. I guess you're right.

And I'll concede that it's pretty entertaining. Every time something happens I think to myself "how the hell didn't i realize that was going to happen? Of course he was just going to casually tell the Russians our state secrets!"

Maybe we should have a "predict the next trump meltdown" thread. The answer is usually right in front of your nose, but often too stupid to think of.

Remember that one time he decided to drop some bombs, and then everyone had cake?

That was awesome.

I'm curious, if the US said to China "take Taiwan (we won't help you retake it, but we won't intervene either), but in return you have to depose Kim and unify Korea," what would the Chinese response be? Would that even be a good deal for us? My knowledge of Asia's geopolitics is extremely superficial.

Did this just get lost in the shuffle, or does nobody else have thoughts?

I know about as much as you regarding SE Asia geopolitics, but I'll give it a shot. China likes the buffer the N. Korea gives them from S. Korea and more importantly, the US bases stationed there. Now in this theoretical situation I would assume the US would shut the bases down once N. Korea is no longer a threat. I would assume China would need assurances from the US before even entertaining this idea. And coming from Trump that is probably a non-starter.

As far as Taiwan goes, if we could get assurances from China that they wouldn't use a scorched earth campaign, I could get behind looking the other way if it meant we take a paranoid wild card off the nuclear playing field.

Comrade Goosechev checks in to support the anti-abortion President.

For the guy who thought President Obama was a threat to national security, this is pathetic.

Big deal, 1/5th of U.S. Americans can't find America on a map. Such is such as South Africa and maps.

I ran the Marine Corps Marathon one year and pretty sure I passed a guy who had died during the race.. people were surrounding him, medical personnel, etc - I glanced down at him and dude was kinda grayish..

I remember it was somewhere in the Georgetown area of DC.. around the 9 mile mark.

True story.

The reason I shared the video was less about his support for Libertarianism and more about his vision for political discourse in this country, which he gets into in the back half of the video.

Here's an update (from yesterday) for you:

Senator Thom Tillis Says He Is ‘Fine’ After Collapsing

I anxiously await how you will try to spin his health into some sort of tribal warfare. Or has that opportunity vanished since he appears to be OK?

You think Trump is an "asshole" and a "buffoon".

And you're in the pro Trump circle jerk.

You might want to square things in your head before you speculate on others.

Your president has turned politics into a reality tv show. The best thing he could do for this country is to resign.

He's your President too. All of you helped elect him. In fact most of you did much more to help him than I did. That's a low bar since I did nothing.

Except show Trump full throated support since he's been elected because you were in favor of a SCOTUS with less than 9 Associate Justices until a Republican was in The White House and the President would vow to end abortion.

You fully support the current GOP authoritarian government and will be cheering for everything they rush through before the November midterms.

You fit the demo of the prototypical over 55 FoxNews viewer which is fine. Quit denying it because very few here are buying the independent act anymore.

You insist on putting people into tribes.

And to be fair...what has he done that would deserve praise?
