I listened to every word (except when I had to go to the bathroom once) and you've got it exactly right.

I drink to you.

Did he actually say it during his UN address? Please say no. This asshole is so embarassing!

"Rocket Man" is pretty damn funny.

Trump is very gifted at giving monikers that stick ("Crooked Hillary" "L'yan Ted" "Little Marco", etc). Must be the Queens boy in him. As second grade as insults are, it's effective. He insulted his way into the presidency.

The rest, I agree. It was garbage.

I doubt Hillary Clinton could have cared any less about the lame "Crocked Hillary" moniker. She was a politician in a race for US President.

When we're considering the leader of a country with nuclear weapons who's not afraid to execute his own family members for disloyalty.....is that the type of person worth provoking?

And all things aside, "Rocket Man" is meh at best.

We've somehow elected Cheeto the Insult Dog as our president. Give me some insults to at least smile about.

In seriousness, dictators can handle anything but being mocked. It makes them look and feel weak.

When they look and feel weak, some other asshole kills them. This other asshole is probably just as bad, but maybe not. I'm not sure who could be worse.

That said, in hindsight, I do concur with other posters that "rocket boy" would have been even more demeaning.

Of discussing the Iran Deal side-by-side with North Korea without acknowledging the major difference.

The Iran Deal is the only thing that makes Iran more manageable that NK.

If they had their way, we would have two nuclear capable rouge nations in the world to contend with.

before it came on and decided the con's outweighed the pro's. I figured you would all teach me what the dripping piece of shit said.
