Is this just real life? Is this just fantasy? ScaraMooch, keep your hands away from me. Trump continued

Because the last thread filled up REALLY quickly.

I think I've noted before that he's not known as an .........intellectual powerhouse.

'Cometh the hour' etc etc. Maybe.

Personally, I don't think there are any 'good' options when it comes to NK.

The best option, though legally somewhat murky, may be something along the lines of the Stuxnet operation against Iran. Granted, the starting position is not quite the same, but I'm reasonably certain that their nuclear arsenal could be disabled with the right approach. Which should hopefully take nukes off the table on the other end, too.

Risky, but IMO preferable to actual armed conflict as it allows some wiggle room for serious back room diplomacy and limits the maximum potential damage done.

That's always assuming the dear dogs don't go back to sleep and can be left to lie, wich would be much preferrable to any other option.

badbadhusky I have no idea who the unhappy couple were on the Seth Meyers clip earlier. I asked all at SpyHQ but no one recognised them. A stock image perhaps?

If you had a normal ruler, perhaps. KJU has to keep his country on a war footing, though, to keep control. And he has nothing to lose - he's finished soon, whatever happens. His .........thought processes are also questionable, I reckon?

Hatiohead for you.

Enjoy!!!

KJU apparently used to be quite normal. As it happens, I'm a British expat and currently living only a few miles from where he went to school. I've actually met a guy who claims he used to play basketball with him (no idea if true or trying to impress me, TBH).

I wonder what's happened to him since then? I mean, how does a 'relatively normal' kid going to a naice European school end up buying fully into that kind of a crazed system?

And how on earth did he end up so huge if he used to play basketball?

Lots of nosh.

Apparently not: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2077506/Kim-Jong-Il-dead-Heir-Kim-Jong-Uns-Swiss-school-days-revealed.html

FWIW, you most definitely do NOT pay a few hundreds for a few salads at LOEB deli. It's more like a slightly posher Waitrose. I shop there sometimes. Their selection of cereals is quite good and they carry a lot of British stuff.

OMG, I've just realised I shop at the same place where KJU used to get his food. I'm forever tainted!

... and with that I'll leave the tangent and go back to ranting about US politics!

At times, Sarah looked a bit uncomfortable at the press conference today.

The condescending shame-faced lying must be getting to her.

That would be before he discovered ramen.

I seem to recall a press guy pulling her up on a statement she'd made saying something like ' I haven't discussed that with Him, I would have to get back to you.'

Press Guy: 'Does that mean you'd actually discuss it with him and get back to us ?'

Huckleberry: ' No. It means that I would have to have discussed it with him, to get back to you.'

(Or something similar.)

She's really not worth watching.

Just saw Dunkirk. During the preview for "An Inconvenient Sequel" there was a clip of Scrotus bleating out some of his climate denying bullshit. One idiot in the audience yelled yay and applauded and he was greeted with a resounding chorus of hisses, boos, and a couple of fuck yous (one being mine) from the rest of audience.

My hope is renewed.

Who will do the backroom diplomacy if the State Dept is eviscerated?
Of course someone will because not everyone in Wasington is suicidal.

Yes I noted that bit cozie. So obtuse. I could conceivably get back to you on that if I discussed it with him but I'm not going to!

Here's a transcript of his interview with the WSJ. God he is idiotic. Very painful read why do I put myself through it

This is hot off the presses from WaPo. Given the date, you should be able to get in.

The moment when it really started to feel insane

Dash. Or maybe not.

The link's not working cozie. Can you try again?

Try 2.

The moment when.....

Success!

Noooo! Hit my limit - need a subscription.

Come back and try tomorrow. (New month.) Or have a look on the net tomorrow.

Badbad try clearing your cookies. Works for me with the LA Times when I've reached my limit.

Ah. That may be it. I have no idea, thinking about it, why it should let me in otherwise. (I cleaned cookies etc earlier.) 1 August isn't until tomorrow.
