I'm scared sh*tless

[QED]

trying to take a deep breath and believe two scoops is bluffing. But he needs a diversion so badly from the poll numbers and the Russia thing.

And a family member, an army captain, is packing....he can't say where he's going.

[potone]

1. Me too.

I know that Trump loves to rant and rave, but this is truly dangerous. A war with North Korea could lead to unimaginably horrific consequences. I can only hope that the military will talk him out of it.

[louis c]

2. Moron. please refer to Trump as a moron.

Two scoops, shitgibon, the orange asshole. All these names are fine.

but to really get his goat and to make a solid point, we have to land on one of them.

Moron is a name given to Trump by one of his own and it drives him crazy. Let's stick to moron or any deritive thereof (Moron in Chief, the Orange Moron). But let's drive that narrative home.

[pwb]

3. Dotard gets to him too. Because it came from Kim Jon Un.

Moron is fitting as well. Chicken hawk in chief fits his call for war. So many names that fit, just not President.

[louis c]

17. but Moron came from his apointee

much more effective.

[Hortensis]

37. Why would you think that's a good idea in a thread about what an enraged, disordered

president might do with his military power?

North Korea has 25 million people, SK over 50 million.

[OneBlueDotBama]

38. Prez. F. Moron.

[ashredux]

4. Trim will Actually start World War III to stop the investigation

[Motley13]

5. I have decided not to go crazy over sth I have no control over

imbeciles voted this moron in, we need to vote him out, if we survive.

That said, I usually have a sick feeling in my stomach
And every morning wake up thinking, what has he done now?

[Initech]

6. He must have had a bad game of golf. Someone needs to take that phone away from him!

[bdamomma]

21. No that phone is a diversion

and a release for don the con please don't let him near an the "nuclear football". Words can be very telling too, this is nothing to joke about.

I keep on thinking about all those kids who killed others in Columbine and numerous other mass killings, the officials used to say report any threat even if you think the person is fooling around report it to the officials, this could warrant the same reaction. Trump is instigating a very dangerous situation here, this is nothing to joke or troll with the American people or for that matter the world community.

He needs an medical health intervention namely a Psych assessment ASAP.

[Motley13]

7. He hates LOSER too, that is his name for terrorists

So I think that is the name he hates the most. He doesn't want to be seen as a loser, pussy grabber ok.

[gordianot]

8. I am watching for his retired Generals to jump ship.

Anything is possible after that benchmark.

[IronLionZion]

9. Kelly, Mattis, and McMaster haven't resigned yet

although I'm sure Tillerson is planning his exit. Hopefully the remaining 3 will find a way to avert an unnecessary war simply for poll numbers.

But I'm an eternal optimist. I also thought Hillary would have won the election and we'd have a Dem majority in the Senate and everything would be peaceful and prosperous now.

[mahina]

10. His ego may prevent the worst, amazingly. He cares about how he's viewed more than anything

or anyone. He would be hated by the whole world, and our military families most of all.

He's just saying "I'm important, pay attention to me"

That's what I tell myself, sitting here well within range.

[dhol82]

34. Keeps remind me of this twilight zone episode

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734580/

Truly scary parallels.

[spanone]

11. trump values ratings over the bodies of soldiers

[elmac]

12. My nephews plans to retire from the Army

were ended recently when he was "volunteered" for a special program in Afghanistan. He voted for the monster so what can you do?

[QED]

19. I'm breathing a sigh of relief

my relative's trip is a domestic training exercise. I got that much out of him.

[bdamomma]

22. oh thank god

whew that is good news.

[Hamlette]

13. He won't do it. He's too lazy to go to war and it doesn't spin with his base.

If he could rally the deplorables with a war he might but they don't want that kind of blood. They could give a shit about NK. It took W a long time to sell his war in Iraq and many Americans thought Iraq had attacked us on 9/11.

Plus, it might require him to work or look like he cared. Unless his generals convince him of the need for war knowing they will take all the blame if things go bad, he will not do it.

He is trolling us. Can't you just picture him going to bed that night giggling to himself and thinking "they are all talking about me, wondering what brilliant thing I'll do next". He thinks is funny. He is entertaining himself at our expense. Don't allow it.

[Ligyron]

27. You mean Iraq of course.

Although Trump might just crank that one up too.

[Hamlette]

30. yes, thanks for the correction

[Downtown Hound]

14. I'll just tell you my two cents:

You have nothing to worry about. Trump is all bluster and the military and the elites will not allow him to start a war, because they actually know how devastating it will be. In the case of Iraq, they were a fairly weak nation sitting on a shit ton of oil. Lots of people had a vested interest in making sure that war happened. It's not the same thing with North Korea. They have a huge military and nukes, and there's no economic incentive for war which would be devastating for the global economy and take decades to recover from.

Trump just needs to sound like a tough guy to appeal to the ever dwindling crowd of morons that still support him.

[klook]

16. Iran is #4 in the world in oil reserves,

Last edited Sat Oct 7, 2017, 09:56 PM - Edit history (1)

just ahead of Iraq. I don't really think even this moron is stupid enough to launch an invasion of Iran at this time, but with their oil and the perception of Iran as a terrorist state, it's in the realm of the possible.

[mopinko]

18. especially since he thinks it would be hunky dory to keep the oil.

[adigal]

25. My fear is that North Korea, China and our allies take him seriously.

He is POTUS, threatening war on twitter.
Come on! You think the rest of the world isn't freaking out over this??

[QED]

29. I hope they realize he's bat shit crazy

And Rex is working the phones to allay fears.

[Angry Dragon]

15. If things go to hell...... there is not much you do about it

I do not worry about those things too much anymore ...............

Some would tell you it is god's plan
For years I have said that the human race would be the first species to bring themselves to extinction

[queentonic]

20. Military Morale

With military morale at an all-time low, I don't see how the Joint Chiefs will go along with a war of choice - especially from the Dumpster. Who would want to take a bullet for that chickenhawk?

[rocktivity]

23. Speaking of diversions

Last edited Sun Oct 8, 2017, 05:28 PM - Edit history (1)

Just in time to divert from America's white male sixtysomething domestic terrorist.

ISIS Sympathizers Planned to 'Create the Next 9/11' With Attacks on Concerts, Subways & Times Square

Three men living outside the U.S. planned to attack concerts, Times Square and crowded subways in 2016 in an ISIS-inspired attack that one of the suspects said he hoped would be "the next 9/11," authorities announced on Friday afternoon.

The FBI said the three men -- Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, a 19-year-old Canadian citizen; Talha Haroon, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen based in Pakistan; and Russell Salic, a 37-year-old orthopedic surgeon in the Phillipines -- allegedly used chat apps to talk about bringing a car bomb into the Crossroads of the World, gunning down subway riders before detonating vests and opening fire on concertgoers in the vein of the Paris terror attacks of 2015...

And as long as we're on the subject of potential copycats:

Time.com: Federal agents are trying to determine why...Scott Edmisten, pulled over for speeding in Tennessee, was carrying...weapons including two submachine guns and 900 rounds of ammunition...(T)he automatic weapons...weren't registered and lack(ed) serial numbers...Edmisten (had) also modified...rifles to make them automatic.

The arrest came a day after Stephen Paddock killed 59 people and wounded more than 500 in Las Vegas, firing down on a music festival crowd from a high-rise hotel suite. Some of the 23 guns in the suite were equipped with devices that enable a rifle to fire continuously...

Edmisten threatened his arresting officer and lunged toward investigators trying to question him. He's jailed without bond on charges of possessing prohibited weapons, speeding, and felony evading arrest.

Fake news?

[adigal]

24. Yeah, my anxiety is pretty high right now. I know this moron will destroy the planet to avoid

removal. Good Lord. Shut his damn twitter down. He is truly unhinged. Where is Congress? Are they OK with this???
And where are our leaders?? Where is Schumer, saying that threatening nuclear war on twitter is nuts.

[MFM008]

26. I know

I live close to Joint base Ft Lewis/McChord in WA.
There was a line of things that looked like small tanks
seemed like dozens, headed down the tracks to somewhere.
Really tied up traffic.
Asshole wants to play ARMY badly.

[QED]

28. I saw something like that at the start of desert storm

I lived along the tracks that Fed into Great Lakes.

[Scruffy1]

31. If your not scared shitless you are not paying attention.

This is the culmination of many years of the plutocrats gradually overtaking the Republic.Formerly they tried to "manufacture" consent for their actions,now they don't give a rat's ass because they have the fix in with congress and the courts.Just look at how little it took in misinformation to send the milatary to Iraq with a majority waving the damn flag. So dies the Republic. The Republic has been on life support for a long time and the players we see are mere actors. I have often compared them to pro wreslers, but I don't think is quite right either, since the few I have known weren't sociopaths, just entertainers trying to make some dough.
Dolt 45 has proven that you can sell a bag of shit if you know how to market. The same people that line up to buy the latest hot gizmo are just the test market for the real product. I think Gramsci would be amused. Definitely, Huxley nailed it a long time ago.
I really think it is so bad that in order to resist I might have to leave my home in the USA No, they dfon't have to use violence, as long as they have the captive media for their agenda. Tomorrow is Sunday, so all the proles will be occupied watching porn violence on television without a thought about the dire straights they are in. The Star Spangled Banner will play to add some militaristic feeling and equate the ritual of mindless violence with patriotism so when they announce the next war, everybody will be putting up "We support our Troops" stickers everywhere. Welcome to 1984.

[raven mad]

32. Ditto on the fear.

My town is small, but we have both a large Army post and Air Force base.

Extremely active for this time of year. EXTREMELY.

[gristy]

35. Are there other times of the year that the activity that you see would be normal?

October is normally quiet?

[raven mad]

36. Yeah, deep winter for winter practice, which generally involves lots of countries.

I've walked up to a MiG.............

October is usually almost silent. The "flyingest state" is never quite silent (small planes, etc.) but this activity is LOUD.

[UCmeNdc]

33. WAR?

[sharedvalues]

39. Let's hope Russia doesn't attack in Europe / Baltics

[sarcasmo]

40. I think that's how it plays out. If Dolt attacks N. Korea, the next day Russia attacks Ukraine.

[sharedvalues]

41. Maybe same day when they coordinate.

If that happens we are pretty screwed.

Just remember - if Trump starts a war every person in his administration goes down in history as Goebbels or Himmler.
