The Republican MO is to post whatever Fake News that they want and call it fact (or in this case post it as fact). Then call Fact Fake News. Post 10 is typical. If you have read my posts I post a lot of reference.

Generalissimo Trumpnino chooses "his" generals very carefully, meaning they had better not countermand his pathetic tweets. Besides, this fool is too stupid to be clued in.

What is it about Republican presidents anyway that they are so easily played by their foreign adversaries? Is it really just plain stupidity and nothing more? And their voters are so proud of themselves. Sad.

If you want to know the real Trump, ask the women he has assaulted, including the woman who at the age of 13 crossed his path. I still cannot and will not forgive anyone who voted for this self puffed frat boyish animal.

larm007 (#11) drilled down to the inconvenient truth.

Trump is made in America, the quintessential product and inevitable outcome of a culture mired in pettiness, selfishness, greed, and violence. We the People deserve him.

Both establishment parties are responsible, but it is the exasperating complacency of the whole citizenry that has wrought this evil empire over the decades, a brutal military-industrial complex smothering the globe with over 800 fixed military bases in over 70 submissive nations, fleecing taxpayers for 600 billion a year in blood money, 54 percent of all federal discretionary spending.

"Force projection" is a euphemism for violence and greed on a scale never before imagined, the worst blight in all of humankind's savage history, devouring everything in its path, including millions upon millions of broken and wasted lives. Less than 4.5 percent of the world's population gobbles up over 25 percent of the world's resources, while half the planet suffers in poverty and disease, with 800 million literally starving to death this very moment. "American exceptionalism" is nothing more than our legacy as the "ugly American."

There is no honor in warfare. Yet, a long-term, steady drumbeat of high-decibel propaganda as well as heavy subliminal messaging has indoctrinated an entire population into believing that the primary patriotic duty, indeed a religious duty, is to feed the beast. We have descended deep into Machiavellian madness and have dragged the world down with us.

Glorified generals wear dazzling displays of medals across their puffed-up chests and wield awesome weapons of death and destruction every chance they get. Slick politicians wear thousand-dollar suits and lie, cheat, and steal to enrich themselves at our expense. Needless to say, the empire's most galling enemies are those few citizens of conscience who dare to speak out and fight back.

"We have met the enemy and he is us."

The creature in the White House was installed there by the 13 richest families in the world, including the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Koch brothers, et al to do nothing but start World War III. That's what they want and they want it in order to devastate the United States and get it to give up its sovereignty so they can gather it up with the rest of the other countries they've conquered and furnished with central banks and call it their New World Order. We must do what we can to stop this crazy nut before he gets us annihilated!

anyone know what happened on Game of Thrones last week? i'm pretty sure that it was more realistic AND interesting than THESE dragons...

It already is too late. Regardless, Trump was elected by a small portion of the population. In 2016, both candidates were strongly opposed by much of their own voting bases, for many of the same reasons. This is why roughly half of all US voters rejected both, and either voted third party or withheld their votes. (Check official 2016 election results.) In the end, Clinton won the most votes, Trump won the most electoral votes, so that's what we have to deal with.

The US has been seen by the international community as the greatest potential threat for some time now. Think of the US as a storm. Trump is the equivalent of the tornado sirens now being sounded.

What the world community sees is a US hell-bent on suicide. While the Rs have worked all year to build support for a war against China (via Korea at the moment), the Ds have worked just as hard to build support for a war against Russia. This has worked to bring Russia and China together, resolving their many years of conflicts in view of a potential world threat -- us. The American people, meanwhile, seem to be like deer frozen in the headlights of an oncoming 18-wheeler.

I lay it at the feet of the people that voted for Trump. Never has such an obviously degenerate, narcissistic, immoral conman been swept into the presidency on such an enthusiastic wave of nationalistic, bigoted fanaticism. When that many people refuse to see the light of day and only see what they want to believe: Trump is what you get!

Fortunately, many are starting to see the light. Hopefully, enough will come to their senses before it's too late. And that includes people that I still call friends.

What is really rediculous is the inability of this administration to have a clear, coherrant voice, Tillerson says wants to have talks, Trump want to nuke them. You can say good cop, bad cop but do they watch American TV??? No matter what you say about the Obama administration, at least we had sanity.

america has taken wrong steps in the past and paid the price. lyndon johnson's reversal of kennedy's viet nahm pullout in 1963 is a painful memory for all from that era. the fabricated bush wars in iraq and afghanistan are another mis-step our grandchildren will be paying for. the question is whether the majority of america will find this sabre rattling exercise to keep the republicans and trump in office credible. i fail to see how anyone with a brain could stand for it, especially with our fabled cia waiting in the wings to mission impossible the north korean equivalent of trump out of existence.

Attaboy, Thom! And Yes, Donald Trump is public enemy #1. We don't need to empower a country like North Korea by making inflamatory statements. They wouldn't dare make a first strike on the US. They know it. We know it. The entire world knows it. So what do we have to gain by stooping to this adolescent saber rattling? The worst fears of the voters that refused to vote for either Trump or Clinton are now being realized.
