  Gee, I wonder why.  Can you say George Soros?

 

 The second one is traced back to Planned Parenthood by the phone#    Pretty stupid!!  But, then again, no one ever accused them of being smart.

It is the State Department's job to monitor what foreign dealings a private citizen has with foreign governments. So, what's the point of the public seeing his tax returns? Obviously he has done nothing illegal. 

The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that details the fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. It was intended to prevent the undermining of the government's position.^[2] The Act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799. The Act was last amended in 1994, and violation of the Logan Act is a felony.

Not convincing. We want to see his returns. The fact that he refuses to release them makes people think there is probably something extremely damaging in them. Make excuses, fine, the majority aren't buying them. 

I hope he never shows them. I just love watching you people boil over...............

The Chinese?  Now, you've done it!!!!!

"Things will change now"!

Well,  maybe not................................

Even the Los Angeles Times admit Trump was democratically elected.

"Courts must safeguard the Constitution.” That was what the Los Angeles Times wrote in a hard-hitting editorial against new US President Donald Trump, prescribing possible ways to prevent a democratically elected leader from going out of control"

A single country was divided by foreign occupiers along the 38th Parallel. The Korean people had no say in the matter. Korea remains divided along broadly the same lines today, though let us not forget the DPRK made territorial gains after the Korean War. 

One of the Korean states still has foreign troops on its soil to this day. The other does not. 

I totally agree. But, they are not occupiers. They would leave if they were asked to. But, the host country wants them there.

Same country, two states, thanks to foreign occupation. I don't need to watch any video which confirms this.

I think your confused as to what an occupier is. No part of either Korea is under occupation from a foreign nation. Though, N. Korea is under more control from China than I would imagine it would like to be.

 If you are talking about S. Korea. Then you are totally wrong. S. Korea is a free and democratic nation. Governed by themselves. I have spent more time in S. Korea than I care to mention. Believe me, they are free and independent of any other nation. 

 You hear about U.S. forces in S. Korea, but there are many nations represented in S. Korea. Can't throw a rock without hitting a soldier from Australia or Greece or NZ for that matter. Not to mention the Canadian forces in S. Korea.

I would call them one half of a country called Korea, populated by Koreans who speak Korean and divided by foreign powers.

Watch this and tell me if you still think they are the same country.

A certain right-wing cable station in the US got a lot mileage out of examining the WH visitor log while Obama was president: "So-and-so visited the WH three times in the past month, what is going on with that?" followed by tinfoilhat-quality speculation.  Imagine if Obama made the visitor log private, what sort of claptrap they would have spewed.

 

 

Any names that the Obama administration didn't want to be public, were redacted anyway. So, so much for transparency.

Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe... This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself by the word as a whole. ... There is also evidence to suggest that information in the shape of an entire word plays an important role in reading.

Two to three inches long is typical.  Pretty rare but not unheard of around Houston.  More common toward Austin and San Antonio and out toward the desert areas near El Paso.  I read earlier that the plane had come from Costa Rica before Houston.  Easily hidden in a small bag or even hitching a ride on anything that may have been sitting on the ground. I've only seen them a few times and never been stung.

Scorpions are quite prevalent in the Dallas, Fort Worth area also.

Imagine if the US drop a GBU-43 on the celebrations in North Korea this weekend...

Don't think you could fly a transport plane over North Korea without it getting shot down.  The MOAB is normally dropped from a C-130 out the aft cargo ramp.

He did not target any of the chemical stockpile which was stated by General Mattis. Another political statement using bombs....in fact planes took off to bomb the same city the very next day from the same airfield.....

They weren't  suppose to.  Blowing up chemical weapons would defeat the whole purpose.  They were going after the delivery method. Planes and infrastructure.  Yes they took off the next day, but amazingly they didn't load any chemical weapons.  I wonder why>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

When you drive to your destination that may or may not be in another province. Do you ever feel relieved that you even made it there and back home again. Every time I go on a road trip, I feel it is a gamble whether or not I will make it...........

Maybe initially this was earmarked for Syria and after the meetings with the Russians, a compromise was reached in which the Russians would allow them to drop their bomb, but only on Nakhon Nowhere in Afghanistan.

The Russians did seem to be noticeably more happy yesterday. So it seems we have a situation in which Trump is hell bent on using the biggest toys he has, but the Russians still have a lot of leverage in telling him where they might be used.

The difference between Trump and Obama is, Trump let's the military run the battles. Obama tried to do it and all he got was a chuckle from the upper echelon.

I really doubt Moscow is giving any direction to the Top Brass on how and where to conduct warfare. Unless you are positively certain the "Russians still have a lot of leverage in telling him where they might be used" you might want to keep silliness to yourself.

Come to Thailand for the vacation of a Lifetime.........................................

what do you call phoning the Russians and telling them you are about to launch 59 cruise missiles so everyone can hide? 

The idea was to destroy the weapon stockpile. Not kill people.  True, some got killed. Collateral damage.  Sh@t happens.

Mission accomplished.............

it's a deterrent against US aggression

Don't really think the small amount is much of a deterrent against the U.S.  Americans will destroy mankind before they will be allowed to be destroyed. This is what the world has to realize.

And my penis is bigger than your penis although when it comes to Trump and Kim neither adds up to much.  Brainless fools indeed!

Do you think about other men's penis's alot?

I don't agree what this woman did. In fact I find it  deplorable.  But, when I go home next time on my visit to my home country and my home town, I am going to film all the local Thai's and there are many of them. Drunken fools in the local bars. Men and women. The majority by the way are in the country illegally.  So, when I come back, I can put it all on Thai Visa.  It won't make a bit of difference. Just like this story doesn't make any difference. Nothing is going to change.  But, it shows there are as*h#les everywhere.

4 ships and a Carrier is not an armada. It's simply a group of 5. And Trump isn't the only leader who may be unpredictable and should be a bit wary of Kimmy.

 

 

This is just a minimum.  This is only one carrier group in the Pacific Fleet. If he were to launch a nuclear weapon. North Korea would cease to exist. 

A carrier strike group^[1] (CSG) is an operational formation of the United States Navy. It is composed of roughly 7,500 personnel, an aircraft carrier, at least one cruiser, a destroyer squadron of at least two destroyers and/or frigates,^[2] and a carrier air wing of 65 to 70 aircraft. A carrier strike group also, on occasion, includes submarines, attached logistics ships and a supply ship. The carrier strike group commander operationally reports to the commander of the numbered fleet, who is operationally responsible for the area of waters in which the carrier strike group is operating.
