What is the most SENSIBLE thing that can be done about N.Korea?? IF anything??

What do folks think that TRUMP will do......if anything??

Neither Trump or Kim can be described as "stable" personalities. . Who is the bigger threat to whom??

Using a bit of history....who is more likely to go military against the other?? Both men have egos the size of Jupiter Plus and both believe that strength comes from Military posturing.

and in this crazy scenario WHO has the wisdom and ability to cool things off as in diffusing the anger that is building up??

There are checks and balances in the US system. Despite what hollywierd shows the Prez can't just push the button. NK not so much.

Trumpty Dumpty tried to build a wall. Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall. ‬

Humpty Dumpty was a cannon. BOOM...HA-HA

Let's quantify it, shall we?

How many lives is it worth to knock North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile systems back to. . . let's say 1957 levels?
Eleventeen.

He would deny taking vacations and call his weekends at his resort....... a "working weekend"........or some other spin.

The best one is defeating or getting rid of ISIS IN 30 days . What is worse is that some actually believed him.

WSuch buffoonery.

Poll: 45 percent think that Trump keeps promises

Down from 62 per cent a few months ago.( and we know how he likes favorable polls only..;-)

Poll: 45 Percent Say Trump Keeps Promises - The Daily Beast

He might be having a harder time giving up the glamorous life style of the rich and famous than he realized. Proper governing is NOT glamorous and nor it is done in sound bites. perhaps this is why he heads to his comfort zone every weekend...

There wasn't an answer.
Yeah, but apparently Canadian right-wingers are willing to fight dictatorial regimes to the last drop of American blood.
Man, you are a jerk!
the BS never stops with you does it?

AMERICA doesn't need Canada to lie to start all these wars with people YOU installed, and YOU armed, with tax dollars borrowed on YOUR grand children.
(...and then like total panzies: YOU can't win them)

Oh well, good luck in the real world Hillary
sooner or later it will be your YARD we have to deal with the trouble in.

the Deep government is running the show anyhow no matter who is elected
they will be in south america when that happens
you won't be though...you don't rate that high

Chinese philosophy used to say that a successful emperor had the "mandate of heaven" and the collapse of a dynasty indicated that the mandate had been lost, usually due to some immoral behaviour or failure to meet their obligations to the people.

I'm curious, since you believe Trump has taken up the "mantle of God" but are now starting to say unflattering things about him, do you think Trump has lost of the mantle of God? Has God forsaken him? It's only been 3 months though. Why would God have chosen Trump when he's failing so quickly?
.

You continue to misquote and misunderstand me. When did i state that he had taken up the 'mantle of God'. I've been nothing but consistent in stating that i supported Trump because he positioned himself as an economic nationalist, cultural populist and social conservative. .

I also have not given up on him, would not say he is failing... YET. But i can see by the people he is positioning in his inner circle will not forward those principles. He was elected to follow a radically different course than the Presidents of the last 5 decades, not to be their noisy echo.

It's really up to him to reestablish his independence.. AND especially from the forces of Global Free Market Capitalism and Anglo American Financial Imperialism as represented by Goldman Sachs and company. Anything else will infuse his Presidency with hypocrisy and failure.

Post #3675 in the "2016 Presidential Campaign" thread, posted on 5 November 2016.



To be fair this was the complete post


Trump at age 70 has taken on the mantle of God's candidate.

According to the mainstream media, it would take Divine Intervention for him to get elected.. but don't dismiss the power of the Almighty.

Simply on a practical level the difference between Clinton and Trump is stark. Hillary has run a campaign of gimmicks and distraction.. Trump has dealt with substance. Clinton is all smoke and mirrors, Trump proffers real change. Clinton would be a Quisling for the Oligarchs of Global Free Market Capitalism.. Trump is his own man, a supporter to the nation state, with the force of personality to bring genuine reform.

I'd give the polls a rest.. they are unreliable in the tumultous political environment of this election.. the guideposts have all moved. I'd also advise not paying too much attention of demographic assumptions with respect to gender, age, race, ethnicity, education, vocation, affiliation. These become moot when the issues are universal and represent a watershed in political direction of the nation (and the world).

The rust belt states.. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina.. with their derelict smelters, foundries, mills.. will be the bellwether of this election. If Trump takes 3 of them.. he can't be stopped.

My sense is that all of the energy and passion in the campaign resides with Trump. Hillary's support is listless, tentative, apathetic.
Which was a comment noting the character of the election and did NOT validate Trump's candidacy as Divine Intervention. Simply that he represented Christian values more authentically than the Cultural Left which has deemed all religion a deluded, backwards, irrelevant, racist, misogynist, homophobic, environmental pillager (through supporting the pesitilence of human population).. Whether he continues to represent that is up to him.. Christianity if a religion of Free Will.. we are all able to cobble together our own destiny.

To be fair, all but the quoted part was a quote of some article. The quoted part was your original contribution (though "original" is questionable).

Which Christian values would those be? His adultery, his serial marriages, his lust for his daughter, or his dishonesty in his business dealings.

Wait. . . you've convinced me. He does hold Christian values. Though he's a little light on the child molestation.

He's pro Life, he appoints USSC judges that do not promote the Culture of Death in the holocaust of abortion, euthenasia. I did not say he was a saint.

In all seriousness, and in the hope that you have the honesty to recognize it, he is not pro-life in the Catholic sense of the term. He purports to be anti-abortion (a new position for him), but he has not commented on euthanasia or assisted suicide, to my knowledge, and he actively supports warfare and capital punishment, the latter of which this Pope and the two previous condemned in all but the most extreme cases.

Unless you're pro-life "from conception to natural death," you're not pro-life. You're just picking and choosing.

I say this from my proud pro-death stance, which is comprehensive and consistent.

So, you said it, but you didn't mean it? No wonder you like Trump, you're the same.
