When asked in London why North Korea has continued its nuclear program, Trump told reporters that "he definitely likes sending up rockets, doesn't he," referring to Kim.
"That's why I call him Rocket Man," Trump said.

He added: "I have confidence in him. I like him, he likes me, we have a good relationship. ... We'll see what happens. It may work out, it may not."
"If I weren't president, you'd be in a war right now in Asia, and who knows where that leads," he continued.

To be fair, any place Trump has to face people less wussy than the media he gets manhandled quite easily. Remember a hundred years ago when Turkey's president told Trump they were going to move into Syria and trump said "Ok. Pull all our troops back"

Debtor Prisons are so hot right now. Goddamn this is infuriating.

God drat

quote:

Limas and Greer [debtors] say they went to court planning to speak to a judge. After addressing their case with Stauffer [debt collector who set up outside the courtroom] they asked her if they were “good to go.” When she said yes, according to Greer, they took that to mean that they had fulfilled their obligations at the courthouse. Limas and Greer left. They were absent when their case was heard before a judge an hour later.

[...]

When they came to Limas’ case, Stauffer told the judge that Limas had paid $200 in bail but had told her he was planning to file for bankruptcy. “We were going to set up arrangements,” she explained. “He walked out.”

[...]


A few weeks after the hearing, a constable showed up at the home of Limas and Greer to arrest him. Greer said she was able to provide evidence of the couple’s bankruptcy filing and the constable went away, but not before informing her that court records indicated Limas had missed his court date.

The simplest seppo on the forums
Thanks to capitalism demanding we work ourselves to death for nothing nobody has any time to maintain friendships or connections to the wider community anymore, much less make new ones.

So people are lonely, surrounded by stress, and so tend towards fear and paranoia. Then they only have a phone/computer for companionship that constantly screams that ____ is out to get you. So they turn into conservatives.

I suspect something as simple as a 4 day work week would destroy conservatism as it exists right now.

You're partially right but this doesn't explain retired boomers. I don't think work itself factors into this too much. Technology, definitely.

Also Trump thinks that 80s power position is a good look. It lets him hide his gut and let his shoulder pads do the talking.

Oh and hey something else for the supreme court. maybe they can just roll them into one giant "gently caress everything" package and be done with it.

My dad is a southern preacher in the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, and it's just as wild and right-wing conservative as you can imagine. Those sorts of Christian fundamentalist folks are ALL OVER the south, and "aggressively metastatic persecution complex" describes their entire schtick. It's not that we need to help others, it's that we need to protect ourselves against this world of sin coming to kill us, 24/7, no sleep, ever vigilant.

And Fox News is absolutely an extension of pandering to that sort of voter.

"Liberals" and "liberal indoctrination" have taken the place of demons and demonic possession.

I disagree. Someone charismatic doesn't rise to the top in politics very often. When they dump Trump, they'll memory hole him fairly quickly, but who fills those shoes?

And this is an honest question. Who in the republican party has Trump's charisma to unite the fascists together? I don't see anyone at the moment in power who can do it. They'll pretend at charisma, but anyone truly charismatic will still need money and they'll bow to corporate interests who will water down what they say and that will turn people off.

Trump isn't unique, but our political system tens to filter out charismatic demagogues.

Everyone involved knows Trump is full of poo poo and ultimately temporary. And if it came down to it would likely be overruled on threat of removal have his mind changed if it were a proper existential treat to another NATO member.

It would take an actual abandonment og a NATO member to dissolve it. Words alone aren't going to do it. So fully expect a NATO member to be attacked before his term is over to test this.
