That’s not the part people had issue with, the part where she said she wouldn’t do it because she is wiser than they are. Its not a wisdom thing its a times thing, all media people need a social media presence now to survive to work etc.. they don’t do it because they aren’t as wise or as smart as her, they do it…

Hey buddy? You might want to actually talk to, you know, actual Koreans? The ones who elected the Moon government to press for peace, and overwhelmingly (80%+) support what’s happening here? But sure, that’s “Trump’s foreign policy,” because after all, what should the desires of the people actually affected by seven…

At some point, when Trump is giving the press juicy red meat, they don’t need to say “Mr. President, why did you just give us all this red meat, and why are you so terrible at this?”

The two Koreas are closer to peace than they have been in decades. This isn’t because of Trump.

We’re doing worse than “twiddling our thumbs while people are being killed.” We’re actively complicit in that in Yemen.

So, how do you characterize this part of the article?

I have no issues with Tammy Duckworth running in 2020 if that’s her choice. She could hardly do worse than other names being brought forth under the (D) umbrella. I’m not going to cross her off because of one bill that hasn’t even been voted on, let alone passed. I might even be arsed to switch from Independent to…

There haven’t been any ACTUAL Democrats in American politics since the late 70's. That’s a big part of the problem. The closest we’ve gotten was Bernie Sanders, and he’d probably tell you flat out that he’s NOT one. Hillary is a Republican...and Trump is just a con man, not a politician at all, although the difference…

This “share the wealth” approach to military funding is why we have the giant Army we have today. Ideally, I’d like to see us greatly increase the size of the Navy by allocating some of the Army’s funding and manpower. I deployed on a Marine Expeditionary Unit some years ago and got to experience some of the joint…

It *can* happen if someone grew some balls and changed the conversation to “would you rather blow stuff up in other countries, or rebuild stuff in your own country” while highlighting infrastructure repair. There’s an opportunity there, but I feel like Trump is trying his damndest to hijack that concept.

It’ll never happen. The military industrial complex is too closely tied to the economic engines of many states.

I don’t really know what you mean with quid pro quo. It doesn’t really take much searching to see what his crimes actually were but I’ll list a few that had really nothing to do with congress:

It’s pretty amazing to see what the middle east looked like before they found oil and america decided they wanted it. Not just the standing buildings and alive children but liberals views and get along attitudes. We literally bombed them back to the stone age.

The reality of course it that america as a whole are all just kinda ‘meh’ about war crimes in other, generally brown, countries. But then really there are some liberals who are xenophobic and racist, just in a ‘civilized manner’ and some liberals that are actually lite-conservatives if our conservative party wasn’t…

If we actually cared about radical Islamic terrorism, we wouldn’t be allied with the country from which came all of the 9/11 hijackers, Osama bin Laden, and Wahabbism, which is the most radical and fundamentalist form of Islam.

While I agree with the sentiment I don’t think this is even a good example, much less the best one. For one thing, almost the second WWII ended Russia became the enemy and the U.S. immediately pivoted against Generalissimus Stalin. There are far better, more recent and plentiful examples that took place during and…

Good point. Probably the one dictator with whom the US were allied with the most blood on his hands. And it was for a greater good.
I’m not saying that the US was always wise in it’s support of dictators (Diem, really?) but it was rarely because these dictators were really liked.

This is crucial. The rehabilitation of George Bush has, rightly, pissed off a lot of liberals because he’s a lunatic that should be in prison. But more damaging, in my opinion, is the continued love for Obama. Some of the worst aspects of the Bush Admin Obama expanded and now are in the hands of one of the worst…

Eh, it’s bad form to copy/paste your own posts, but I just wrote this on another article and I don’t feel like rephrasing it: There’s literally nothing we can do to influence the DPRK by attempting to further isolate or hurt them economically. We have no more cards left to play, short of war (which would be…
