I dont know what that means, and i dont know if you are in favor of or against honey.
So my answer is, maybe.

This video is very offensive towards the British so proceed with caution.

Your post right away reminded me about this...
Seriously, no offence my British friends, it's just a video!

 

[mack341]

But it does say something about Trump that he actually believes that. He's losing his mind!

An additional thought I had after thinking it might be a diversion was 'perhaps trump is laying a shot across fox's bows by mentioning the OAN network again?' ...if trump starts laying into fox at his campaign rallies they could lose viewers and then advertising.

lo and behold his latest tweet:

"Incredible! @FoxNews just took Congressional Hearing off the air just prior to important witness statements. More like CNN!!! Fox is lost!!! "

And what with tucker being openly critical of trump and kushner the other day, that wouldn't have gone unnoticed either but trump is too smart [I think] to openly attack tucker as he knows he is influential among many republicans.

I dont think he can stand any news that does not suck up to him.
OAN fills that role now that fox has criticized him a bit.

I think it will backfire, he needs fox more than they need him at the moment, and when their presenters read that tweet it's going to temper their enthusiasm to promote trump even just a little bit, as he's now becoming a PITA to them too.

 

[vorcirion]

but trump is too smart

That's the one that trips you often. Trump is not smart...he's very very simple man and he only knows how to attack someone. The only surprising thing about Trump has been that how low he can actually go. Everyone should know by now what to expect from Trump. He's not going to change no matter how beneficial it would be for him politically...because he just can't.

That was a crafty edit though.

You're contending that a person can get elected the president of the USA and yet not be smart?

You have the republican and the democratic parties, they are not meant to be the same. Modern Liberals and conservatives have different ideas and opinions. So not sure what you mean by trump changing and how it could be politically beneficial to him?

He's not a republican...he's not a democrat. He's just chaos. He has no ideals...he's all about Trump. And yes in US you can absolutely get elected and not be smart. It's a popularity contest...not contest of brains...who has the best ideas etc. Otherwise Bush would've lost to Kerry and would've lost to Gore too...but nope! They elected a dumb person to lead them twice (at least he is a decent man, but was a terrible president). Now they elected another dumb person who knows absolutely nothing about anything...including how to be a human.

When Trump was elected he had a chance to do bipartisan stuff and try to unite the country. There was infrustructure week many times and nothing happened. All Trump did was attacking democrats and hasn't stopped since then. I hope after this election Romney takes over the republican party...then there's a real republican who democrats can work with and negotiate with.

Other choice would be to remove republicans from negotiations but I don't think that would be good for the country. You can't negotiate with Moscow Mitch and with those other spineless toadies that have been enabling Trump to do all of that stupid crap that he has been doing for 3,5 years now.
Moscow Mitch will only block everything that democrats try to do. He has no willingness to negotiate anything.

Streetwise may be the better term, I wasn't trying to imply Trump is academically bright. Romney is known as a RINO, somebody like Rand Paul would be a better choice imo, a libertarian conservative, he wants to get the govt debt under control.

When Trump was elected, rino Paul Ryan was leader of the house, and they did not get on, so I don't think that helped, and then the republicans lost control of the house.

I'm sure trump has made mistakes and didn't really have a detailed plan or consensus behind him to tackle things like health. Then he got sidetracked into meeting Kim jong, what a waste of time.

I don't know what 'stupid crap' trump has been doing, any actual policies are lost under the soap opera issues. Tax cuts favouring the wealthy and removing pollution controls, environment protection to help big business, is something I don't agree with. They're the only things I've heard about, and even then they hardly made the front pages.

It's pretty hard for Rand Paul to be leader of anything. He opposed sanctions against Russia and wanted to remove them asap. He wouldn't have any followers I think. Even if he wants to get the debt under control...other republicans don't care about it.

Muslim ban, transgender ban, kids in cages, wall, trade war against China and having no strategy, digging dirt against Biden through unofficial channels (Rudy), spreading conspiracy theories, drawing weather maps by himself, invoking national emergency to sell weapons to Saudi-Arabia, throwing paper towels to puerto ricans after hurricane hit them...take your pick. I'm sure there are plenty more

Yes but the voters will when the debt is 40 trillion, with interest payments measured in many hundreds of billions; and it's one thing to have debt and something to show for it, but not sure that is the case.

[At the end of the year 2000 the US national debt stood at $5.6 trillion which was probably manageable but now it's $26 trillion.]

Been playing Assasins creed 4 a bit lately (black flag)
Imo the best out of the series.

I completed that a few months ago, a good game, however I never got round to doing all the side quests. I thought the game would let me carry on exploring but upon finishing the main quest, it goes to a scrollng 'credits' of all the people involved in making the game, I left it running for over 30 mins and it still hadn't finished ...I could find no way of bypassing it and carrying on with the game and side quests

I was just starting to take on the legendary battleships as well. What I would have liked is the ability to go into houses and buildings, the same with borderlands 2, many doors just can't be opened.

[ Far cry 3 was also a good game by ubisoft, had some great gun battles in that.]

Ive spent waay to much time on Far cry 4.
Awesome game with such a great bad guy in it

Also, there is a fun way to beat that game in under 15 minutes.


Dishonored have also eaten alot of time.

 

[Kroffe]

And if you dont fancy beating it in 15 minutes, theres are seemingly endless side-quests and a great world to roam around in for countless hours.
Bit like in black flag, endless supply of things to do.

I wish i had played it on pc and not console.
Shooters are much better played with mouse+keyboard imo.
Games like black flag works great for console tho.

I intended to get that far cry 4 for my pc but the minimum requirement was a intel i5 processor, once I get my xbox one up and running I might get it for that instead. Yeah the bad guy in FC3 is well done too, really wanted to catch up with him. I don't know much about dishonoured other than it looked a bit cyberpunk, I shall keep an eye out for it. Borderlands 2 has been enjoyable, want to deal out some serious gbh to that Jack guy

[ Mad max was another game that looked decent.]

yes that's my worry, how well I can play these fps games with an xbox controller, mouse and keyboard is so easy. Then again I do see all sorts playing fps games on twitch and handling the controller with ease, so I'm optimistic I'll get the hang of it. I've got fall out 4, gtav and red dead redemption, plus dark souls 3 and battlefied v for my xbox one so I'm hoping that will be enough games to keep me going.

Its not that its all that hard playing shooters on console.
But i promise you it feels alot better doing it with keyboard+mouse.
There are some things you just cant do on console, like turning around crazy fast etc.
Also you cant "flick" the crosshair for those satisfying reaction-kills

All games apart from fps i prefer to use a controller tho.
I like playing platformers like Super meat boy, and trials etc
The harder they are the better. And i cant see myself enjoying it as much on the keyboard.
The xbox controller is plug n play on the pc, so its no problem using one.





Trying to 100% those two games is a bit of self torture i enjoy.
Edit: skip halfway thru the videos to see why its torture.

Alright. Had 5 cups of coffee, so I think I now know what the trending topic of the night is. It's gaming? Yes? No?

Anyway. Had a gaming session myself. I think I nailed it.

Has everyone forgotten that this is supposed to be a North Korea thread? Instead, all I am seeing is stupid documentaries and stupid discussions about games and even stupider Tea party discussions.

So I am sorry if this offends anyone, but I am going to bring this thread back on topic to North Korea.

So now we know where Trump gets his inspiration from...

PS: I love documentaries.

PPS: No idea about all these games being discussed as I am a games virgin.

PPPS: I hate tea but I love covfefe...I mean coffee, dammit.

PPPPS: And I still hate Trump.

The pandemic is over for the WH, GOP and campaign staff.

Some 18K new cases/day and on average 1,000 deaths, yep, it all just "embers" and "ashes" according to Mr T.

Note, how they planted the minorities (2 or 3 people) in the front, yet all others are plain white. What a diverse team to support a racist prez.

Bootlicker boy Pence deleted the tweet since then.

You can see where it is heading, e.g. Iowa had a record turn-out in the primary on 2nd June due to mail-in ballots and the Republican State Senate then immediately passed a bill prohibiting the send-out of such ballots without people first requesting it.

There will be a lot more of that happening as the GOP tries desperately to keep their Chosen One on the throne.

Very true....don't know why I forgot that as it has been his MO throughout the whole sorry saga of his presidency.

Also Joe Biden is now afraid that Trump ''will try to steal the election through voter fraud allegations', possibly leading to Trump disregarding the (legitimate) results of the election in November, and refusing to leave the WH, although his staff have called the accusation 'ridiculous'.

However, we should never forget that Trump does have form regarding elections. Back in 2016, he basically admitted that he wouldn't commit to accepting the election result if it didn't go in his favour.

" Ellis visited a friend in Los Angeles and used LSD "two or three times." Thinking it was still Thursday, he took a hit of LSD on Friday at noon, and his friend's girlfriend reminded him at 2:00 p.m. that he was scheduled to pitch that night. Ellis flew from Los Angeles to San Diego at 3:00 p.m. and arrived at the stadium at 4:30 p.m.; the game started at 6:05 p.m. "

“The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."
He also reported that for a while in the 4th inning he thought Richard Nixon was the umpire, and Jimi Hendrix was the hitter, holding a guitar rather than a bat."
