In line at a Deli: "I'm afraid of that crazy mad man with nuclear weapons"

[louis c]

I was in line, waiting my turn at a Deli in a middle class suburb of Boston this morning, buying some odds and ends for Easter. In the queue, a person I know casually, said, "It's crazy what's happening in North Korea". I replied, "I know, I'm a little worried. My Niece is stationed in Japan". "Ya", he said, "That mad man with nuclear weapons scares the shit out of me". I replied, "I agree, and that guy in North Korea scares me." He said, "That's who I meant." I replied, "Oh, I thought you were talking about our mad man."

1. I had a similar encounter this week..

Older gentleman talking about Trump showing the "c****s and t***l h***s" who is boss. I cringed...clearly this gentleman was in the early stages of dementia. No one in their right mind should be giddy over this fool trying to look tough.

2. I guess I missed the news where Assad, IS and Kim all begged for mercy

Funny, that. Maybe someone can point me to it.

[LOL Lib]

3. When you find it let me know!

I was floored over the reckless comment. I just don't understand the muscle flexing deal with some people. Even if there is not an immediate retaliation, we will one day pay the price for Trump's BS. Isn't this bully behavior exactly what fuels the fire of most terrorists who wish America harm?

4. Actually what fuels what the West calls terrorism is the slaughter of citizens in their countries -

the looting and plunder of their countries by the West - that is what fuels terrorism.

Of course it was the resistance when the Germans were doing it to other Western countries.
They are not allowed to fight back - ask Erik Prince, Bursh, Cheney et al.
And after we kill, maim and bomb the shit out of them, they'd better not seek asylum in the West.
Let's face it - the modern day crusades are on in earnest.

5. Has little to do with muscle flexing

Trump just figured out that bombs are waaaaay more effective of a distraction the Obama tweets

9. I agree with you

6. I overheard 2 older gents talking

while having lunch.

Seems they were Korean Conflict (War) vets and were really upset that we may well be at war in Korea again. That's not something you wish on anyone.

Prepare for more PTSD.

7. I wonder if these people KNOW that Trump is a certifiable nutcase or if they think he's

just being called names by sore losers.
Hey folks, it's true.
He's fucking nuts

[LOL Lib]

8. No, some of his supporters believe he is a genius.

They think that his every insane tweet or impulse reaction is part of his awe inspiring plan. Boy will they be crushed when they finally realize he is just bat guano crazy.
