Build a wall funded by tax cuts for the rich.

Seriously, that is not good to shoot your still yet experimental missles like that.

Obviously a provocation intended to test the idiot in chief and our relationship with our Asian allies.

So true. Being experimental means that things can go wrong. WWIII may happen because of an oops!

Room for thought?

Kim Dung Un is as big a narcissist as the capering Orange Shitgibbon.

But Kim loves to push Trumps button and Trump is less than sane. Anything could happen

'A new polling low for Trump: Just 16 percent ‘like’ his conduct as president' WP

"Polling Donald Trump is one of the most difficult and confusing exercises in modern politics. In Trump, we have a guy who won the presidency by surprisingly beating the polls in key Rust Belt states, of course. We also have a guy who maintains the loyalty of his base despite major flaws that this base readily acknowledges. As I wrote in June 2016, nearly half of Trump supporters — 46 percent — said one or more of the following: He had made a racist comment, was prejudiced and/or was unqualified to be president. Not half of all voters; half of his supporters.
I wouldn't be the first to argue that those voters stuck by Trump because of rank partisanship, distaste for Hillary Clinton and emphasizing other priorities. But a new poll from the Pew Research Center shows just how conflicted Trump voters are these days about as well as any poll I've seen. And despite all those hot takes about how Trump's penchant for controversy represents some kind of multidimensional chess game, the poll shows the damage continues to be done. Trump's base clearly has reservations about him, and those reservations are causing it to deteriorate slowly — albeit more slowly than people perhaps thought.
Pew asked American adults how they felt about Trump's conduct in office: Whether they “liked” it, had “mixed feelings” or “didn't like it.” It won't surprise you to see about 6 in 10 (58 percent) don't like it; that tracks with the number of Americans who disapprove of Trump overall." WP

Amazingly disastrous polling for a new president this early in his term.

Japan's leader, Abe should be buying THAAD and Patriot systems by the container ship load.

Remember that Trump still has the Football and Launch Codes. Scary.

Phuck it, I'm pretty sure my home is within the blast radius of the Seal Beach Naval Weapons storage complex here in southern California. It'll be quick.
