A limited strike isn't going to do poo poo. Other than touching off something much worse that we'll be dealing with for years.

Donald, being an idiot, has often said that he admires Nixon's "Madman" strategy where he pretends to be a slobbering fiend who's eager to slap the big red button in order to get his enemies to come to the table. Mattis might be servile enough to actually go through with a strike like this, but South Korea would also have to sign off on it and I can't imagine them doing that.

Except that Trump will just withdraw American military support from the South completely if they don't play along, because he behaves like a four year old

Nixon Madman Gambit means threatening to shoot a hostage (faking crazy) so the hostage negotiator will give you one of your demands.

Trump Madman Gambit means shooting the hostage negotiator (actual crazy) so the police will tell everyone you have a huge dick.

We shouldn't make fun of them publicly, encourage this behavior, give them the reaction that they expect.

The Murray-Alexander bill to unfuck Trump's Obamacare sabotage now has enough GOP cosponsors to clear a 60-vote filibuster.

The outstanding questions are if McConnell allows the thing to come to a vote and what would happen to the bill in the House. It's a total clusterfuck with Trump changing his mind by the hour and Republican Leadership not quite knowing what to do.

That was just because the intended goal of "killing" those crisis actors failed and he wasn't going to be able to melt down all of America's guns into the construction materials for the mandatory mosque/abortion clinic/vegan health food store that he'd build on every street corner in America.

Gold Star family: It's true. Also Trump forgot his name.

Sanders: We don't have proof. Also just because the president said "your guy" doesn't mean he didn't know his name.
