Yes, it is a glorified missile test. However, it is enough that if they do it and it get's even near Guam how do you think this administration will respond?

The only sensible thing to do is blanket the North in Fire Jolly Ranchers and cases of Angry Orchard Cider. Maybe toss in more cases of PowerBars than any Korean has ever even imagined. America keeps it's word, no matter how insane.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:This circles back to my earlier point: 53% is a slim margin, and he may have more to lose by pissing off wall supporters with too-pointed rhetoric. I understand that, but he can be direct and just say, "I support border security, but I don't support Donald Trump's wall." That's unlikely to piss off too many voters who would be wavering. Being as wishy-washy as he is about an unnecessary vanity project that's based on some pretty abominable racism isn't going to win him any votes, IMO. quote:As far as I can tell your chief objection is his rhetoric not his votes. From Democrats in marginal states I don't care about rhetoric, I only care about voting record. I mostly agree with you, but I care about rhetoric insofar as it motivates or demotivates voters. You're right, of course, that actions speak louder than words, but words can still signal to people whether or not you have the guts to fight for them. I don't think too many Democrats, either in his state or nationally, will see Tester's answer as inspiring or principled. It's the type of answer that makes people believe that there's not enough difference between the two major parties, and that there's no point in voting for the Democrats. That's a belief that I want not to exist. Majorian fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Aug 10, 2017 |

Yeah dude, you got me pegged: Majorian posted:I think border security and having a fence/wall in some places makes sense. Ensuring that non-state actors can't easily smuggle WMD material into the U.S. is an important issue to me. But a fence/wall already exists in most of those places. That's not what those two senators are talking about. They're talking about Trump's wall.

AlternateNu posted:That article title is a straight up lie, to my knowledge. All the article says is that Trump wanted McCabe gone last month. There's nothing regarding Trump's reaction to the raid this morning. Your knowledge is wrong, you didn't read the article. The FBI raid on Manafort happened July 26 and Trump's tweet about McCabe was a few minutes thereafter. We're talking about the raid now because news of it leaked to the press today. It happened two weeks ago, and Trump got mad at the acting FBI director on Twitter shortly after it happened.

Randbrick posted:It feels lIke the eve of the Hiroshima bombing. The level of understanding we had as to the psychology of the actors in japan, the prevailing Japanese sentiment, etc, were just primitive and racist and had no real informative value. I always thought the great tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is that our information was so poor as the to what Japan wanted and could tolerate that we can never really argue with full confidence it was right or necessary. Fun fact about Hiroshima and Nagasaki: the US was actually planning to drop 12 atomic bombs on Japan. Like, if they had not surrendered after Nagasaki, there would be a third, then a fourth, etc. So yeah, the US was willing to completely flatten Japan.
