1. Total Decimation - to totally destroy 1/10th.

[raging moderate]

2. Few Republicons know the definition of "decimation."

Even fewer understand the Latin derivation.

6. First think that came to mind

Roman military. Trumpanzee is truly a stupid sack of shit.

3. The Art of the Deal:

Death threats. Extortion. Bullying.

But then there's Bolton as NatSec Advisor.

Trumpy will fail. He'll have to back down and look weak and ineffective. His bluster doesn't move nations. All of his enticements of riches for Kim and NK are laughable. By this time, most nations on the globe are patiently waiting for Trumpy to destroy himself and go away. They know that his days are numbered. They know a lot more than the cowardly US GOP leadership, who are still shitting in their pants at the prospect of standing up to this raving lunatic.

4. If you don't agree to give me your lunch money

I'm going to whupp your ass.

5. He doesn't have a clue.

Wonderful opportunity for Ms. Woodruff to explain what decimate means to the Idiot. I sometimes wonder how we came to this place and how do we get out. Despair is creeping in again.

7. Kim knows the US will never launch a nuclear attack on North Korea unless absolutely necessary

But that's based on having a rational person in the White House.

8. You have to hand it to him. He is an absolutely brilliant statesman.

We are fortunate to have him.
