While I agree the Syrian missile strike was as you state, but with the MOAB being dropped in Afghanistan, I'm thinking he actually has the balls to preemptively strike N korea and lacks the brain to realize what a mistake that'd be for the country (though it'd be excellent for the military industrial complex)If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

the best thing the US could do is become complete independent of middle east oil, I believe we are pretty close right nowOriginally posted by TranaGreg View Post"You know what's wrong with America?

Energy independence is just a matter of priority now. We don't need middle east oil or the Canadian tar sands. Our natural gas and oil reserves are massive, but we haven't been producing them because middle east oil has been dirt cheap. The producers there, apparently, have made it cheap to 1) keep us from continuing to exploit our shale, 2) for some, raise needed cash, and 3) continue to delay our development of alternative energy sources.Originally posted by Fresno Bob View Post
We have all we need to bridge to clean energy if we will muster the courage to do it. Hell, I remember paying $5 a gallon for gas, and now we squeal when it goes up twenty cents.

I just saw this by Newt about Steve Bannon:
“Bannon is a brilliant pirate who has had a huge impact,” said former House speaker Newt Gingrich, a Trump supporter. “But White Houses, in the end, are like the U.S. Navy — corporate structures and very hard on pirates.”
I'm almost sure he meant that corporate structures are very hard on pirates.If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl PopperComment

TBF, Obama wasn't 100% on the up & up with it either. It was more of a gesture than anything else. That said, some percentage is better than 0%Originally posted by swampdragon View PostComment

Don't get too far ahead... I think he'll be moved more to the background but I'd bet that he's still part of the "team"Originally posted by Hodor View PostIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

You could be right, and I agree it'll be ugly if he's unceremoniously dumped. But if they work out an agreement that involves a pile of cash, it could be pretty tame.Originally posted by Hodor View PostI'm just here for the baseball.

There's a great article on Politico about a possible Bannon firing, and the steps he might take. It doesn't sound pretty at all...I'm not sure cash would calm that raging ego.Originally posted by chancellor View Post

Yeah I read that when it came out along with some related material regarding the shitstorm Bannon could bring down on Trump should he be ousted.Originally posted by Hornsby View PostIf I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

A little off topic...
You know, if it wasn't all to feed the ego of a ruthless, psychotic dictator, that North Korean parade might have been pretty cool.
I'm just saying. With all the precision marching, and the girl soldiers with the rifles hot-footing it, and all the music and colors. It was "Busby Berkeley meets The Empire Strikes Back". Plus the jets flying in formation and all the big trucks. And the gold statue of Lenin. And ooh, the dudes in the popeye suits with the rifles in the blue trucks looking up at the sky and being perfectly still. It was like a great propaganda film from the 40s.If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl PopperComment
