Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may have been given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

Apparently, North Korea now has a missile that can hit New York, which is a bit scary.

If it can make it there, it can make it anywhere...   :laugh: :laugh:

If I threaten someone with violence on Twitter I'd get my account closed. So is it ok for Trump to threaten nuclear war and kill us all?  It seems like someone agrees with me!
Come on Twitter, shut him down before he gets us all killed!
Surely a violation of their terms of service.

Not just that but the Charlottesville issue and the loner who killed the young woman seem inextricably linked to Trump's campaigning and his reluctance to specifically condemn violence by White supremacists and neo-nazis.

What is even odder is that the White House bigot-in-chief can't see any connection between Islamic terrorism (which he's berated others for not condemning by name) and the home-grown variety. We have to hope - somewhat desperately - that there are sufficient numbers of normal human beings in the US administration to stop Trump before the US becomes the fourth Reich.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/art-of-the-deal-donald-trump-resign-us-president-predict-tony-schwartz-a7898526.html

The world can only hope.

How on earth this idiot can continue is beyond me; he has now threatened to close down the US Government if it does not approve the funding of his wall. His blatant lies and threats, both national and international and continuing bizarre behaviour - yet some people still support him! But, thereagain, even the Monster Racing Looney Party got some votes....

Finally Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump have said something I agree with!

They are both making speeches calling each other a madman. 
This is undoubtedly true.

A very specific threat tweeted by Donald Trump,
If I tweeted something like that I'd be banned instantly.

'Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!'

Apparently, when the General is around he's not allowed to tweet, but when the General has a day off all the madness emerges...
