Senator Dianne Feinstein's statement on Trump's UN speech.

[kstewart33]

Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released the following statement on President Trump’s remarks before the U.N. General Assembly:

“The goals of the United Nations are to foster peace and promote global cooperation.

“Today, the president used it as a stage to threaten war.

“He missed an opportunity to present any positive actions the U.N. could take with respect to North Korea, and he launched a diatribe against Iran, again offering no pathway forward.

“By suggesting he would revisit and possibly cancel the Iran nuclear agreement, he greatly escalated the danger we face from both Iran and North Korea. What nation would negotiate with the United States when the agreements we reach with other countries are so easily undermined?

“Trump’s bombastic threat to destroy North Korea and his refusal to present any positive pathways forward on the many global challenges we face are severe disappointments. He aims to unify the world through tactics of intimidation, but in reality he only further isolates the United States.”

[SusanaMontana41]

43. That's exactly what I was thinking.

2. K&R

3. K&R...

[underpants]

4. That was another Trump salute on an international stage

Trump salute

[Honeycombe8]

5. Trump - the art of the deal king. Yeah, right. He renegs on his "deals." nt

[BigmanPigman]

6. Where is the straitjacket?! USE IT NOW! This insane idiot is going to kill people

whether through repealing the ACA, undoing everything good that was ever done by Obama, or out of outright hatred via Miller, Bannon and Gorka.

[Lucinda]

7. KNR

[KY_EnviroGuy]

8. My hope is...

Congress will wise up and put this knee-jerk warmonger on a very short leash. Enough throwing of red meat, already! Just give him some toy guns, ships and airplanes to play with. Would be good for him and Barron so he can let off steam.

I'm afraid Mueller's probe or impeachment is going to take far too long.

[NurseJackie]

9. "...but in reality he only further isolates the United States.

#Tragic
#Embarrassing
#ANationInDecline

[Martin Eden]

18. Yep

What if the leader of the free world held a parade and nobody came ...

... would he still call it MOAP (Mother Of All Parades)?

[brooklynite]

10. ...but we still want to Primary her, right?

[zentrum]

21. Afraid so. She

....got it right today but it's time for a new Democrat to step in.

[xxqqqzme]

24. Yes, it is time for

her to retire.I fear this statement is her first step in deciding to run .

[zentrum]

26. Me too.

Her 24 years is enough. She voted for the Iraq war and the Patriot Act. Also for Medicare means testing which changes the meaning of Medicare from an earned benefit to a welfare program, which it is not. That's a very harmful shift.

She does not support Medicare for All and calls it a "Government take over" of health care which is a real misnomer if ever there was one.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. Yes she's been on the wrong side of issues somtimes but didn't she say she's retirin from politics?

So, let it go... time to move on.

[zentrum]

30. No, I don't think she

...said that. Where did you hear/read that? Everyone is still trying to figure out her intentions as far as I can tell.

Would love to move on.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. Oh okay, thot I read somewhere Hillary herself saying she would never run again for political office

I'll have to look for it and post when I find it.

[zentrum]

35. Yes, Hillary said ...

...that about herself.

But Feinstein is still a cipher.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

36. Sorry, got the two mixed up.

[zentrum]

37. It happens.

[Snotcicles]

11. The guy doesn't have a locker-room, off switch. nt

[Angry Dragon]

12. Trump makes the 33% feel proud

[iluvtennis]

14. And the rest of us tuck our heads in SHAME

[zentrum]

22. It's true.

Horribly embarrassed.

[SusanaMontana41]

44. Yes. Every time he opens his mouth

he humiliates the country and puts us in danger.

[Angry Dragon]

46. I have no shame

all the shame is on Trump's head .... he owns it

[gordianot]

15. When are people going to realize a major crisis is the only way Trump can survive?

Get to the point of changing horses in mid stream. The simple fact Trump is a monster and he will never change. Wishing and other magical thinking will not effect change. I have been stockpiling, canning food and supplies since April on our farm.

[gademocrat7]

16. K&R

He a blight on our country.

[mcar]

17. Well said, Senator!

[Hoyt]

20. [phone]

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. Yes, well said, indeed!

[NastyRiffraff]

19. Exactly right

Good for DiFi. That's what a DEMOCRAT sounds like.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

34. Yes, sounds a lot better than those who would work with the Fuhrer-in-Chief.

[Hekate]

23. KnR

[Scurrilous]

31. K&R

[yuiyoshida]

38. All his life he has been a bully and only knows how to speak in those terms

and is all for his 5% base, the rest of this country may as well fuck off... WHOEVER HEARD of a President who only represents 5% of the country?

UNfuckingbelieveable.

[riversedge]

39. Today, the president used it as a stage to threaten war"

[NewJeffCT]

40. "severe disappointments"?

nice comment, but how about trying to take action on these issues?

[CrispyQ]

41. Maybe she just needs some patience with the man.

[They_Live]

45. that's right.

Give him a chance. He's never been president before.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

42. Worse than Khrushchev pounding his shoe...

... eom.
