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.

Nice title

Dim.

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.

Thanks, TheClaws.

Thanks Claws for new thread aptly named!

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

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."

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

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!

Leaving this here

Thanks for new thread TheClaws

Still outraged. Still paying attention.

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.

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

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.

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.

I like the sound of your prepping Bigly.

Hello HowDo.

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.

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.

Thanks, Claws.

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

However, thanks to the thread title I now have an

Yeah, thanks
