When Republicans made the decision in 2016 to equate bragging about sexually assaulting women as locker room talk in order to seize power the die was cast.
Trump and North Korea
- Thread starter St. Louis Hawk

It is unilaterally as a country, but I am sure Trump is somehow bilaterally profiting from this.
Agree. Trump should have pointed out that the current S. Korea gov inexplicably favors the China police state, per the WSJ link below:
The governing party "In 2021 it joined the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing."
Further, "In today’s Minju-run South Korea, Americans contend with an ally that is largely unsympathetic to the alliance and wants to cooperate less, not more, with U.S. security initiatives."
"Mr. Lee and Minju have made clear they aren’t on America’s side in the China competition. During his presidential campaign, Mr. Lee declared that he didn’t care what happens to Taiwan. In April, Mr. Lee’s defense minister discussed bilateral defense cooperation with China’s ambassador to South Korea."
Good analysis on Lib TV this morning. SK could now view getting nuclear weapons as a priority. The US continues to show to traditional allies that we won't honor our agreements. The war against Iran is showing that in many instances we cannot protect our allies or ourselves as Iran has made the US base in Bahrain, and air bases in Jordan targets and severely impacted our operations in forward areas.
Late night tweets instead of sober minded foreign policy.

Putin and Netanyahu seem to be taking turns blackmailing Trump.
Another embarrassment from this administration. Does he honestly believe he's making world peace this way?
HELL YES! Go Go Go N. Korea! MAGAS, Unite behind Trump NO MATTER WHAT!! Hell, Trump could sell the nuclear codes to the Chinese and the MAGAs would be on here celebrating our new Chinese Overlords and telling us how good egg rolls are.
Besides just deciding he should have a Nobel Peace prize since Obama has one, world peace isn't something he cares about. At all.
I’m assuming we can’t spare the ships, aircraft and manpower given we are committed to Trump’s frivolous war with Iran.
You are so close to seeing the truth:
We have had good men who were good presidents (Eisenhower).
We have had good men who were bad presidents (Carter)
We have had bad men that were good presidents (Clinton)
Trump is a horrible man who is a horrible president. It is as simple as that.
“Ask not what your country can do…ask what your country can do for….me!”
Narrator: he’s nowhere close to seeing the truth.
It's only a head scratcher if you have no knowledge of how Trump has operated his entire life.
The ability to troll to the level of turning this into a positive is impressive.
Socialism bad. Communist dictatorship good.
No. Anyone defending agent orange’s position is trolling. No other logical explanation.
Okay, I still see people insisting that Trump is operating at a level normals just don't understand.
He's cratering mentally.
The day you see me saying that dumbf*ck is anything but cratering mentally means I’ve cratered mentally. That boi’s man boobs aren’t the only thing that’s turned to jello.
Is there anything this man doesn’t lie about. I can’t believe anyone supports this.
I never thought I'd see a president more willing to support dictator's from countries that have been enemies for decades over our allies, yet here we are. MAGA, how do you defend this?
TIC, maybe Kim has "evolved" in his thinking. Evolution of ideas seems to happen quite frequently among our leaders, why not in N.Korea. And, just consider, aren't we better having the guy with all the nukes on our side? What do we get from S Korea...cars, refrigerators, washers and dryers, can't shoot them at another country.
Posts like this are why I hate it that we can't use the R word anymore. NK on our side? A brutal dictator who murdered family members, and has allowed millions to starve under his rule has evolved?
Jesus
i'm really surprised that trump went to war against someone like the ayatollah who by all indications was well positioned personality wise to become one of his best friends
And this ladies and gentlemen is the clear example of someone having to shape reality to make sense of the utter idiot Trump is.
Finally admit that you are on the side of a diaper wearing bafoon who only cares about himself. Or just be old and die with that lie you tell yourself every day.
you didn't pick up the TIC, tongue in cheek
""Tongue in cheek" is an idiom that describes a joke, ironic statement, or humorous remark told with a serious face. It means the speaker or creator is not being literal, but is instead acting playful, teasing, or poking fun without any intent to trick anyone"
My sarcasm meter is apparently broken today and I did not recognize the acronym...apologies.
So I’ve come back to this a couple of times. You may not be wrong, but I think that’s what I am. Or a Republicrat (Dominican is taken). The guys that I know we all are pretty similarly situated: these are southern guys who went to southern schools, hunt, fish, are successful in their fields, are family men, and are just tired of trump and the nonsense. Really just tired of the extremes in general. Hate crazy left as much as MAGA right and just want normal. Guys that don’t give a damn about most social things, believe in helping people and assisting the less fortunate, have sympathy for others where empathy lacks, work hard, play hard, and have a profound respect for the country. Regardless of the title, we are all tired of this.
This is a post I think 99% of us would agree with. No matter the party affiliation or an independent, let's get on with solving the real problems and get off all this peripheral stuff.
The difference, of course, is the “crazy left” isn’t remotely close to controlling a major party. The GOP is MAGA right.
Trump lost in 2020 largely because people were tired of the non stop drama. He's good at running for office. He's been great at comms and defining and creating enemies to be petrified of. What he's not good at is being in charge of things. It's why his dad left a core of guys to run Trump Org. He tried to make it Donald proof. Nobody made America Donald proof for his second go around in the WH.
Honest question, of these folks you speak of, how many of them voted for Trump 2-3 times but are tired of all of the extremes?
