Trump announced this threat to North Korea today...
quote:
North Korea best not make any more threats to the US. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.
Exactly what will the US do if North Korea makes more verbal threats or launches another missile?
Trump made his threat in response to a Washington Post report, citing US intelligence officials that North Korea had successfully miniaturized a nuclear payload to fit on an ICBM.
North Korea made threats to the US as recently as yesterday. You can expect them to continue the rhetoric after which Trump will do what exactly? Post more insults to Twitter?

Trump solutions to the opioid epidemic...
Trump pledges action to combat opioid abuse | CNN Politics
More drug war!! Lock Grandma up!!
quote:
President Donald Trump said Tuesday a stronger law enforcement response is needed to combat the opioid crisis, speaking at his New Jersey golf club and flanked by Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price and acting Director of National Drug Control Policy Richard Baum.
Just say No!!
quote:
Trump also advocated for more abstinence-based treatment to combat the opioid crisis.
"The best way to prevent drug addiction and overdose is to prevent people from abusing drugs in the first place. If they don't start, they won't have a problem. If they do start, it's awfully tough to get off," Trump said.
I suppose that this is what is left when drug treatment and other health care is completely off the table.
quote:
First lady Melania Trump, White House chief of staff John Kelly and other top Trump aides -- Jared Kushner, Kellyanne Conway and Reed Cordish -- also attended the briefing.
Problem solved. Next?

As expected, more threats from North Korea:
quote:
North Korea's military is "examining the operational plan" to strike areas around Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic missiles, state-run news agency KCNA said early Wednesday local time.
The threat comes just hours after US President Donald Trump warned Pyongyang that if they continued to threaten the US, they would "face fire and fury like the world has never seen."

Re: Trump's accomplishments
So do you think consumer confidence would be the same today under a Hillary presidency?
Consumer confidence is on the same trend it was on before Trump took office.
At some point, you are going to have to accept that Hilary is not the president.

Re: Writing checks with your mouth, that your butt cannot cash..
But to answer your question, the U.S. military has some pretty pinpoint-accurate hardware that could possibly vaporize only a large enough area to make SURE the fat man doesn't survive. Would that make you sad
I know that you are not twelve years old. Surely you don't believe that such an action would have no negative consequences for us or our allies.
But you've given me something to be thankful for. At least you are not in charge of the armed forces of this country.
can't think of anyone I'd rather have than Trump as president if North Korea succeeds in destroying any part of the U.S. with a nuclear warhead.
Uh, the goal is not to get a nuclear war started, right? I cannot think of a single civilian that would make a great command in chief for a nuclear war. But Trump? really?

Re: Writing checks with your mouth, that your butt cannot cash..
o you have nothing bad to say about Kim Jong Un? Most of the Democrat news media doesn't seem to have a problem with him either.
I did not notice this bit of idiocy, marc9000. Kim Jong Un is bad enough. In case my posts are difficult to understand, the point is that exchanging threats that you cannot back up is a piss poor strategy for dealing with North Korea. Okay, now Kim Jong Un threatens Guam. Trump does what? Tweet?

Re: Trump's accomplishments
Wrong, it peaked in mid May at 97.7.
The consumer confidence index was at 115 in December 2016. It was about 109 in November before the election.
remember what Reagan ordered done to Libya back in 1986, so I'd have to be over 12 years old. It worked well, we didn't have any more trouble with Libya after that.
We've already gotten a response to Trump's nonsense. It appears that we are going to continue to have trouble with North Korea. You are welcome to the last word. I'm at my thread limit for responding.

Re: Writing checks with your mouth, that your butt cannot cash..
making a big show over who has the larger penis.
The same metaphor had occurred to me, but I prefer the term "pocket missile" because it is an obvious euphemism for penis and also hints at ICBMs that are part of the threat.

Re: Trump's accomplishments
Too bad you didn't list a source, we could check that out.
Really? You cannot check this stuff out without my citing a source?
Since you asked...
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
The above is a link to the data on consumer confidence. There is an upward trend up until the beginning of this year. Said trend starting well before any elections. If consumer confidence is increasing now, it is only after a substantial downturn starting after Trump's election.

Re: Trump's accomplishments
Item by item as you asked us to do, please.
Marc9000 has already made a BS response about why he does not respond. He says it is because he is facing a "gang". However, I have noticed, and commented in the past, that even when I am the only way pressing him, that he seldom defends the nonsense that he posts. His response then was that he did not have to defend.
That's why I limit my exchanges with marc9000. He has no intention of standing behind the crap he posts. I cannot really blame him. As you have just seen, his ideas are easily rebutted by facts.

Re: Trump's accomplishments
It's been a long hard week and I'm tired. Could you please show me on that link where it breaks down the consumer confidence from last November 1st thru the 7th, and then again from November 9th thru the 30th?
This request is beyond stupid. It borders on being fraudulent.
1) Consumer confidence is not computed daily.
2) I provided you a graph showing the data for an extensive period. Sufficient to verify the trend that has been discussed.

Re: Writing checks with your mouth, that your butt cannot cash..
War with Korea would in no way provide a path to get Trump out.
It was only a few months ago that wing-nuts were accusing Obama of starting a war with Russia so he could stay in office. Now the story is that starting a war would actually get you ousted from office.

Re: very fine people on both sides!?
Some leftists are saying that makes the natives neo-nazis as well. I don't agree.
That is not what anyone is saying. Dr. Jones explained exactly what he meant, yet you continue to misinterpret his statement in opposition to an argument that no one is making.
The organizers of the march; the ones who fought in court to have the march were not Percy's historical preservation society. So we know that Charlottesville was not a bunch of history lovers overtaken by supremacists and neos. The Nazi's were the marchers. They were given a plan for keeping themselves separate from protesters and they did not follow it.
