In the dim corner, we have Trump! In the dictator corner, we have Kim! Or is that mixed up?

....aand we're expecting a dirty, unfair fight.

Thanks for the new thread and title.

That article was interesting Lweji. It does make you think how on earth are we going to fix a recession this time with interest rates low and no magic bullets left.

I wish I had the talent myself to create an image of the Statue of Liberty doing a two-fingered salute, the words "give me your poor, your sick" etc crossed out and FUCK OFF substituted. It's probably been done somewhere already, to be fair.

[PerkingFaintly]

Thanks, TheClaws.

[Roussette]

Thanks Claws for new thread aptly named!

[Lweji]

Kim may be many things, but I don't think he's dim.

[Stuffofawesome]

Pops out from under the stairs to check in. Gave dd copy of Z for Zachariah to read lately. Perhaps not the best time to get 11 yr old into post apocalyptic literature.

For old time's sake:

"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."

[TheClaws]

Agree, Lweji, and he's playing Trump like a violin (to trot out a cliche, sorry). And Trump's too dim to see it.

[TheNorthWestPawsage]

Just seen the new thread - thanks!

And well guys, if I don't get another chance, I'd just like to say - it's been great!

[HateSummer]

Leaving this here

[BoreOfWhabylon]

Thanks for new thread TheClaws

Still outraged. Still paying attention.

[orlantina]

These days with the state of things, news outlets (especially major ones like BBC, CNN etc need to be very, very careful and read things over twice

As does Trump - who needs to ensure that any news sources he reads are reliable and not biased.

Thanks for the new thread.

[saffronwblue]

Thanks Claws. Just listening to ABC news using the word 'brink of war', which is alarming.

[BiglyBadgers]

For anyone taking up prepping... personally I would add vast quantities of weed and fine whiskey to this list. If I'm going to be stuck in a bunker for years waiting for the nuclear winter to pass I may as well be wasted.

What are the essential items to stockpile in the face of impending nuclear disaster?

It's all getting a bit scary. I have taken to not reading the news anymore.

[HowDoYouFeelNow]

Thanks for the thread. Possibly a bit cliché and/or maudlin but I'm glad I'm not alone in all this - no one IRL cares about all this as much as I do, I'm very grateful for these threads and all your contributions. Whenever something Kim/Trump related occurs, this is my first port of call. Thanks all.

Place marking.

Eyeing up shovel for bunker building.

[lionheart]

I like the sound of your prepping Bigly.

Hello HowDo.

[badbadhusky]

I'm not sure about prepping. If things do go post-apocalytically bad, I think having a family kool-aid supping session might be best. Suffice it to say that I did not find the ending of Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road remotely hopeful and thought the mother was right.

[badbadhusky]

Yeah, Bigly's plan for the end of days sounds way more appealing than endless canned pulses and rice/porridge. I hope you are stocking up sufficient munchies too.

[cozietoesie]

Thanks, Claws.

[OpalMoon]

Not a regular, not read any of these threads, sorry

However, thanks to the thread title I now have an

Yeah, thanks
