Hear hear, Ginger!

But tbh I'm not sure what even the GOP can do. Scrotus won't listen to them either.

This will finish him.

I just hope it doesn't finish the rest of us as well.

...she persisted. 🗽‏ @leahmcelrath

The possibility of nuclear war is being calmly discussed on cable news.

NUCLEAR WAR IS NOT A CALM FUCKING SUBJECT.

I am sure @PreetBharara still wishes he was US Atty. But he sure seems to be having a good time being just a citizen.

Citizens working together are more powerful than US Attorneys. And presidents.

Do you remember those dinner party discussions If you could go back in time and shoot Hitler, would you do it?
Anyway it won't come to that. There are grownups still but they'd want to get their fingers out sharpish.
Agree with what you said about GOP, Ginger

Am feeling really scared by the escalating language around North Korea. I'm meant to be going to a conference in Tokyo in mid may and am reconsidering.
Feel like we are living in a speeded up horror film at the moment.

cozietoesie · 14/04/2017 22:42

If it's a conference in mid-May, you should have time to make a decision - next weekend, say?

Birdsbeesandtrees · 14/04/2017 22:51

I'm more worried about tomorrow - it's a national holiday or similar and there are reports they will be doing a weapons test to mark it.

If they do the USA will not be very happy.

Birdsbeesandtrees · 14/04/2017 22:55

News report about potential US strike here

cozietoesie · 14/04/2017 22:55

The Day of the Sun. (If I recall.)

Birdsbeesandtrees · 14/04/2017 22:58

That's the one cozie

cozietoesie · 14/04/2017 23:00

Is Kim Han Sol anywhere to be seen?

Birdsbeesandtrees · 14/04/2017 23:03

Probably filling his face with cheese somewhere.

Birdsbeesandtrees · 14/04/2017 23:04

Oh the other one ! The son of the one who was assassinated? Don't know.

cozietoesie · 14/04/2017 23:04

He's the only hope of peaceful regime change at the moment so I hope not.

cozietoesie · 14/04/2017 23:05

Yes. That's the one. Smile

Birdsbeesandtrees · 14/04/2017 23:06

Keeping a low profile surely ? He's supposed to be quite decent isn't he ?

cozietoesie · 14/04/2017 23:07

Well he's not Jung Un - which is one heck of a start. Wink

Birdsbeesandtrees · 14/04/2017 23:08

Indeed. I hope he's safe somewhere actually.

Will NK celebrate holiday with nuclear test? t.co/PoiYWKjJtI @FieldCNN reports #TheLead

cozietoesie · 14/04/2017 23:19

My guess is - not.

Birdsbeesandtrees · 14/04/2017 23:19

Was that to he's not somewhere safe or that NK won't conduct a nuclear test cozie?

cozietoesie · 14/04/2017 23:21

I'm guessing that they won't test. I have no idea where Han Sol is or whether he's safe.
