North Korea and US politics

Why are you derailing the North Korea thread with coverage from North Korea

 

[goatwack]

Why are you derailing the North Korea thread with coverage from North Korea

.....this is the North Korea thread?

 

[paul7388]

.....this is the North Korea thread?

Maybe in name and for first two pages.

Since then it's became a mixture of the xfiles and Donald Trump appreciaton thread. North Korea just seems so yesterday now.

 

[goatwack]

Well, time to keep it relevant

 

[Borgie]

I was thinking maybe time for a change to north something else. Northbound on the M1. ?North Tyneside? North shields . North as in "up north"

 

[Harry_BKK]

Time to bring this thread up again, because when you thought the hilarious comedy show hit bottom, you realize it can go much lower and more hilarious.

Stormy storming again onto the stage was the first act in the latest part of the comedy show. But Mr. T, of course, had nothing to do with her.

Amazing how the Republicans are trying to ram through congress and senate everything they do. They act like scared chicken trying to pick up one more grain when being chased away. During the Clinton and Obama years, they could not emphasize and insist enough that everything has to be debated and investigated properly. Since Feb 2017 that magically was not needed to anything they have done - Gorsuch, health care, tax cut, budget, DACA, Russia etc etc. and now "squeaky clean boy" Kavannah.

And Mr. T yet again excited about a natural disaster. How can a president say to people who just lost their house or more in a storm: “I think the most exciting part is the rebuild." ...Who knew? Can I please have such a storm too, so I can be excited? ....Funny, or rather not funny, when you compare his words in the Carolinas to those he said about Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile, he declassifies FISA documents regarding C. Page for what he calls "transparency" to show the wrongdoings and bias of the FBI and DOJ as well as proof that it is all a witch hunt. But why then does he declassify only a part and leaves especially one out where the FBI emphasized that the "dossier" was politically motivated. The FISA Court still saw enough evidence to grant the FISA warrant. But yeah, anything to show that the "messiah" Mr. T is under attack from all sides and needs to be protected! And he admitted that he hasn't even read the pages he declassified. So much for transparency.

Last but not least Mr. T yet again celebrating "tremendous" NK progress where there is none, other than some signed MOUs and requests from NK to get something in return if they destroy some inactive or no longer needed sites. Pompano jumping right on to the train with "NK has do denuclearize until 2021"..... so we went from one to nearly 4 years...that will become than 5, 10 and finally never because NK signed onto have the Korean Peninsula denuclearized not just NK.

I could list a ton more but will let the comedy show speak for itself.

There you go, thread resurrected to deflect from the MAC / rigged discussion.

 

[Harry_BKK]

The Supreme Court nomination comedy show is nearing its climax. Well, it would be funny were it not for such serious allegations. I can't fathom that poor Kavanaugh has been so innocent, especially reading this:

Shall we do some bets whether "squeaky clean sunnyboy" Kavanaugh gets confirmed?

Mr. T as with Porter, Manafort etc fully supports him ....as expected. BTW, he's now trying to terminate the lawsuit against Stormy, hmmmm, you wonder why? No chance to win, i would guess.

 

[Steviedoo]

kavanaugh plus rod rosenstein ...the white house has become a circus.

 

[Harry_BKK]

kavanaugh plus rod rosenstein ...the white house has become a circus.

The Republicans yet again amaze with their short memories. But then most GOP'ers are well past their "best before date".

Some of the latest statements:

L. Graham: "Democrats are causing the total collapse of the traditional confirmation process for a Supreme Court nominee. It is being replaced by a game of delay, deception, and wholesale character assassination."
Grassley: "It increasingly appears that they are more interested in a political takedown than pursuing allegations through a bipartisan and professional investigative process"

They blocked the Obama nominee for nearly 1 year and now cry wolf when their "oh so great" Kavanaugh, who says that he "never had any sexual relations with a woman until long after high school" (as per Fox interview....quite the dork, hmmmm....and on top sounds like he is copying Clinton...and we know how that ended ), is being put through the usual political process.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Mr. T some time ago: "The world is laughing at the US. That will stop right now".

Well, it certainly wasn't true then but if it was, it is still true now. Today during his speech at the UNGA, the world leaders laughing about his very clear lies. Mr. T will be stewing on that for a long time. He's realizing tha the is still only the braggard from NY who nobody takes very serious.

 

[Harry_BKK]

I see Mr. T finally got what he instigated and probably wanted all the time.

Some nutty supporters sending bombs to former presidents, Democrats, Soros and CNN - all of whom he attacked relentlessly in his speeches and now wonders that this happens. Funny, that he yet again took no responsibility. Just a few hours later at his rally he said the press had to tone it down and stop attacks on him.

Well Done America! Now you start trying to kill your own people because they are not worshipping the messiah Mr.T. Bravo!

 

[TheAddict]

Im hesitant to google that in fear of a knock from the eff bee eye

 

[Steviedoo]

The media should stop reporting his tweets...

 

[slotplayer]

Obama was the messiah.

 

[goatwack]

It's hardly subtle what transpired here. A bunch of nutjob Trumpians attempting to cause carnage by attacking outspoken opponents.

Of course all that's done is reaffirm people's views on that particular demographic. And predictably enough, nothing Trump said in the aftermath was correct or not tinged with irony or malice! (It never is! )

But then one can thank the Social Media hype-train that gets people worked up quicker than ever on any given subject. It's almost an inevitable consequence of the rhetoric being thrown out there by both sides. Best thing Trump could have done months ago is stop tweeting his current thoughts and whims and start leading in a presidential manner, with some form of quiet dignity (I know I know)

 

[Harry_BKK]

Good to see or rather sad that you still have nothing constructive to bring to a debate other than deflecting. Bravo!

 

[goatwack]

Of course this could all be an elaborately-staged hoax to paint a narrative, with the mid-terms coming up. There's always that theory

Just backing up (as usual) with actual evidence instead of conjecture.

Sure, why not....NOT. Do you believe yourself what you are saying or have you watched Faux News too much again?

Robert De Niro is not a politician. That's enough to debunk your theory.

[TheAddict]

Shockingly, i dont know how to make one of those things. But people are asking questions like;


The clock doesnt have an alarm function (trigger).

Mail bombs dont use a clock to trigger it, what are the odds the trigger would be timed to such perfection as to detonate at the exact correct time - while most delivered bombs are detonated upon an opening the package, rather than by timinng which could easily lead it to detonating in the wrong place.


Most of those things have the wires connecting at the same end, not end to end.

Who mails bombs to people who don't open their own mail.

Postage stamps not postmarked.

Value of stamps inconsistent with package.

Blatant misspelling in address labels, almost deliberately making whoever is accused (trump supporters) look very stupid.

If you are near a live bomb, its always a good idea to take a selfie. Especially if it appears to be a timer based bomb.





(Not my words, Just some questions that some people are asking) arent they proven fake now? I read that somewhere but cba to read much atm lol.

 

[slotplayer]

You referred to Mr. T as the messiah and I was just pointing via the Newsweek covers, who is/was considered the messiah in American politics.

Maybe sending it to De Niro was just a decoy. They sent one to your messiah Soros.

After all the shooting of Republicans in the park ended up being a Bernie Sanders supporter.

 

[slotplayer]

CNN saying hand delivered to the messiah Soros.

 

[goatwack]

Anyone stupid enough to 'send' these devices would surely know it wouldn't get within 500 yards of any of the intended recipients

But what this has achieved is to paint Trump supporters as terrorist boneheads

My suspicions are aroused into thinking the reasons for your disappearance a few days ago might not be entirely legit ;p

Typical of people like you trying to deflect yet again. Did Bernie ever incite any violence or attack people at such a low level as Mr. T does? Go back and compare how Mr. T spoke about that incident to what he said in recent days about this event. He calls the latest one "Bomb" stuff that disturbs his election campaigns and doesn't even have the decency to give the former president a call.

You have a presidency reduced to Trash TV level and a president lying through his teeth, never accepting responsibility for anything that is not positive and you are here defending him to your last breath, just staggering.

Yet you decide to believe him and defend him at every opportunity:

- He's sold you a NAFTA as the biggest ever signed deal where the main improvement is that farmers can now supply 0.5% more in diary products to Canada.
- He's telling you that he will give you a further 10% tax cut before the elections which would cost the US about $2 Trillion over a decade. All for the middle class.....isn't that what he said with the previous tax cut?
- Funny how he is suddenly all for keeping the main feature of Obamacare, protections for pre-existing conditions. All the while he is still making everything possible to dismantle them.
- Etc. etc. etc.

Meanwhile:
- your deficit still increasing
- trade deficit with China still increasing
- etc etc.

Here's a graphic of his lies listed per week from the start of his presidency, 170 in the week starting 14th October 2018. That is an average of 24 lies and falsehoods every day coming from the president of the US, all easily fact-checked.

The tax cuts are supposed to happen now right before election he said. Congress is in recess.
So don’t know how that will happen.

Where are the words of wisdom, of calm, of anything remotely sembling some form of leadership to put the American public at ease and help them stay calm.

He's using the tactics from his real estate blunders when a buyer is about to walk away....."you know celebrity xyz is just about to buy one unit" ....

Same here now, he is about to lose the midterms and at least part of congress, so he throws something in, thinking it will blind a few more.

You mean like the "both sides" comment last year.

To the contrary, he will up his rethoric even more.

Afterr all it is all about him! ....people get bombs in the mail and he complains "the media is so bad to me...sob sob" ....well, how about stopping the lies for a start!

.. in the last three days...acts of terrorism and hate crimes have been carried out by Americans.

Flashback to 2012 election (back when CNN wasn't Fake News) - Speaking of Terrorism, Immigration. What year we in? How's the border 10 years later?

Terrorism - What does it say at the bottom of the ticker about an airline? FYI, there currently are ongoing investigations of terrorism/terrorist in all 50 states.
