@realDonaldTrump
The US has great strength & patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy #NoKo.

(82,849 posts)"We will have no choice but totally destroy" North Korea. What the hell does that even mean?
I worked for an attorney many years ago who went into a meeting with his client and the other side, a guy who hadn't paid for the client's services (sound familiar?) and the deadbeat's attorney. After a very short review of the facts of the matter, deadbeat whipped out his checkbook and said he'd write a check right then and there for a thousand bucks just to make this bullshit claim go away. The amount in controversy, unsurprisingly, was several times that amount, and my friend said, "No, it's going to take more than a thousand dollars to settle this." The deadbeat, in a move that had probably been rehearsed many times, snapped his checkbook closed, stuffed it into his suit pocket and announced, "See you in court!"
My friend, unperturbed, said mildly, "You like saying that, don't you? Sit down." He then patiently explained to the deadbeat and his attorney why a thousand bucks wasn't going to settle this matter, the actual amount in controversy, and that the law allowed for the prevailing party to collect his attorney's fees. To this point, without filing a lawsuit, his client was prepared to negotiate a settlement, but if a lawsuit had to be filed, the price of settlement was going to do nothing but go up. After kicking things around for about 10 minutes, deadbeat's attorney adjourned the meeting, and told my friend that he'd call him later about settlement.
My friend got a return call that afternoon with a far more reasonable settlement offer, and the dispute was resolved by the end of the day.
Somebody needs to tell President Trump to sit down.
