BREAKING: Kim Jong Un personally invites President Trump to Pyongyang

Right now there is a line of hipster left wing Democrats at Whole Foods paying for high end groceries with food stamps.

Meanwhile you’re working a 60 hour week and shopping at Walmart to make ends meet.

Democrats wanted that crap to continue!

That’s why Trump got elected!

As is the case domestically, though some here still doubt it, we've already won the political battle. Domestically and internationally -- Trump has such an incredible winning hand. Even better, he knows how to play it.

China can sit and talk crazy yang, so can North Korea, but neither is in position to dictate a damn thing.

The only question is when they capitulate. They can drag it out a year or two, perhaps, but that's about it.

I have a little Satnav, it sits there in my car. A Satnav is a driver's friend it tells you where you are.
I have a little Satnav, i've had it all my life. It's better than the normal ones, my Satnav is my wife.
It gives me full instructions, especially how to drive
"It's sixty miles an hour", it says, "You're doing sixty five".
It tells me when to stop and start, and when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever, safe to overtake.
It tells me when a light is red, and when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively, just when to intervene.
It lists the vehicles just in front, and all those to the rear.
And taking this into account, it specifies my gear.
I'm sure no other driver, has so helpful a device.
For when we leave and lock the car, it still gives its advice.
It fills me up with counseling, each journey's pretty fraught.
So why don't I exchange it, and get a quieter sort....?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, makes sure I'm properly fed.
It washes all my shirts and things, and keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages, and my tendency to scoff,
I only wish that now and then, I could turn the fucker off.

Chloë: It's not a shithole!

Ray: What? Even midgets have to take drugs to stick it.

Chloë: Okay. So, you've insulted my home town. You were doing really well, Raymond. Why don't you tell me some Belgium jokes while you're at it?

Ray: Don't know any Belgium jokes, and if I did I think I'd have the good sense not to... hang on. Is Belgium with all those child abuse murders lately? I do know a Belgium joke. What's Belgium famous for? Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids.

Chloë: One of the girls they murdered was a friend of mine.

Another Bob, nothing much *appears* to have been done about them yet.

This nation has an incredible array of contingency plans developed over the years. Many of them have been merely awaiting the proper political leadership to comprehend them and to see them through.

I'm confident more has been done than you realize.

There's a reason why Trump was so bold in Canada, and has been so bold from the day after the election on through the inauguration and now 500+ days in.

Faith and patience.

I am one of the safest, defensive (forward thinking )drivers in California. I never turn around while driving to talk to the people in the backseat.

I don't check any aspect of my grooming while driving or pulling away from the curb. My phone is off in the car. I always have a map of where I'm headed when I haven't been there before.

A stop means "wheels not rolling". A four way stop means everybody gets their turn in order of appearance and a tie goes to the right. Yellow lights mean stop. Green lights only have one shade of green so get off your ass and go. Pedestrians about to obstruct traffic by stepping off the curb against the signal get seven long honks of the horn. I never flip anybody off in traffic. And I will only use my ball peen hammer on a set of headlights at night if the person is behind me and won't get a clue after 3 blocks.

To my One True Love who believes that I am a "scary driver" I say: "In your dreams. Now go back to sleep and let me get us home."

The former presidential grass killer struggles to be relevant: (Published on D-Day. Grrr.)

"The international system that the United States and its allies created after World War II has benefited the entire world, but global political and economic engagement have left too many Americans behind.

Over the last 70 years, free-market democracies have come to dominate the global economy, U.S.-led efforts have dramatically reduced poverty and disease, and the world has been spared great-power conflict.

Yet many Americans—myself included—are increasingly coming to believe that our country suffers from a leadership vacuum.

People are losing faith that their leaders will work to make all Americans better off and that they will rally us to join with our allies in order to craft cooperative solutions to the global problems that buffet us.

Economic growth is delivering benefits for the few but not for the many. Political discourse has become poisoned by partisanship and egotism.

In the face of these challenges, we have a choice between two options: shut the blinds and withdraw from the world or engage with allies old and new to jump-start a new era of opportunity and security.

Although American leaders should always put American interests first, that does not mean that we have to build walls, close off markets, or isolate the United States by acting in ways that alienate our allies.

Continuing to do that will not insulate us from external challenges; it will simply turn us into bystanders with less and less influence."

So, Juanito, do you plan to live in that refurbished grain bin until the 2020 campaign season? Or what?

I remember an article from years ago. Walmart called in the Rubbermaid company and told them how to price their product.

Rubbermaid said we can't make a profit at that price. Walmart responded that they could get them made elsewhere for less.

While liberals like to rail against Walmart for other issues, we should note that Walmart has done that same thing to a lot of American manufacturers.

Trump was right to criticize him, because anyone who agreed with eyebrow put a target on themselves.

Trump did his best to get along, even though he knew they were going to target him.

And who in the world thought to invite the EU people? The EU has no seat at the table.

So, there is no need to be nuanced. Trump needs to take out Eyebrow. Apologize to the Canadians for the actions we now need to take, but your PM is a back-stabber and unreliable, and we're sorry, but you elected him, so it's your fault that you suffer from our new tariffs.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Davod,

I think it means "let the commies win."

[Davod]

Stephen Walt believes in political realism.

Political realism emphasizes the role of the nation-state and makes a broad assumption that all nation-states are motivated by national interests, or, at best, national interests disguised as moral concerns.

Walt must be a never, never, Trumper, because it seems as if Trump is practicing what political realism preaches, only more openly.
