Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

We are in agreement. The issue now is SK. This would be unacceptable to them. IMHO they would accept a bad deal with China to prevent a war. I guess like the Iran deal. A bad deal but better than the alternative.
History repeats itself, in 1938 Chamberlain told the British public that he had achieved “peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time" after the Munich agreement, unfortunately for him and the world, Churchill was correct when he said “You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour and you will have war”

We face similar dilemmas with NK and Iran, so unless a deal accomplishes what we need it to accomplish it's worse than no deal.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

If it's direct war or a bad agreement then you're right. However it's a suicide mission for NK to start a war ( China won't back then it they start it ).

Therefore the status qou has worked for the last 60+ years. And will continue to be the case unless they have a decent agreement.

Your right.

That's why the intense focus on sanctions. At this point it's either the sanctions will break them or the negotiations will bear fruit.

None of them are good options. But neither is the military option. And that's why we stand here...

We have had sanctions for x amount of years. All that did is let them get nukes.

He is trying to say that if the sanctions weren't administered properly it doesn't show that they don't work.

Ok got it. I thought he was trying to say they have nukes but no way to deliver them.

I wasn't disagreeing with you

It's more complicated than that. For the sanctions to work you need China and Russia to play along, as they aren't involved in international trade.

While Trump has been successful in getting both of them to agree to tougher sanctions, they will both continue using that leverage to their benefit.

Bottom line China has 95% of the cards here

You think sanctions alone will stop Iran from getting nukes?

No time to elaborate

1) Iran does business with the EU and international community in general meaning that it effects them much more

2) Iran has ambitions in the international theater ( Revolutionary Guards, Syria, Yemen etc ) and need to back able to fund them.

We're a constitutional democracy.  No reason to aim higher than the Constitution.

I was not really serious. Of course any administration should take proper grammar seriously, as should any serious enterprise or individual.  I just meant to point out that it's not a new problem.  The letter writer should probably be reassigned or fired.
