More nuke production in the PRK!

North Korea has increased nuclear production at secret sites, say U.S. officials

The "art of the deal" in action!

MAGA

What deal is he going to try to cut with the Russians? They get Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania back in exchange for lifting the sanctions on Russia?

Them the same ( yer pals) officials that said NK hacked sony, and wanted to start a war over it?....

Trial runs for fascism are in full flow

To grasp what is going on in the world right now, we need to reflect on two things. One is that we are in a phase of trial runs. The other is that what is being trialled is fascism – a word that should be used carefully but not shirked when it is so clearly on the horizon. Forget “post-fascist” – what we are living with is pre-fascism. It is easy to dismiss Donald Trump as an ignoramus, not least because he is. But he has an acute understanding of one thing: test marketing. He created himself in the gossip pages of the New York tabloids, where celebrity is manufactured by planting outrageous stories that you can later confirm or deny depending on how they go down. And he recreated himself in reality TV where the storylines can be adjusted according to the ratings. Put something out there, pull it back, adjust, go again.

Fascism doesn’t arise suddenly in an existing democracy. It is not easy to get people to give up their ideas of freedom and civility. You have to do trial runs that, if they are done well, serve two purposes. They get people used to something they may initially recoil from; and they allow you to refine and calibrate. This is what is happening now and we would be fools not to see it.

While domination can be an important trait, there are two or three others I can think of that are probably just as important, like humility, collaboration, compromisation!

You've just described Donald Trump to a tee! His capacity for compassion, collaboration and especially humility are legendary!

MAGA!

I was speaking in general terms and I'm not arguing that he lacks those traits, although I might question the humility. Just out of interest which traits do YOU think he needs to brush up on?

He is a sick human being. There is no Carnegie course to cure bullying narcissism. He will be like that for the rest of his life.
