technically, Sister Sarah, the Korean War has not ended. There exists an armistice, no peace treaty.

She means it’s absurd for the reporters to say such a thing.
All of the absurd statements are supposed to come from the podium.†

†Except for those that appear on Twitter.

Lordy BE, this woman drives me to drink. So. ‘Technically’ it doesn’t ‘matter’ that the OBuffoon is trying to goad Kim into launching a rocket…if he chooses to ‘bite’ and takes out the West Coast, well HELL, they’re just liberals anyway. It won’t be Donnie’s ‘fault’. In the AA world Sarah, you would be called an enabler.

they can only respond by taking everything out of time and context, and then insulting the other party…

I won’t let her drive me to drink. Then I would be obligated to thank her.

Shit, the guy on the right desperately needs a “bro”.

A war brewing up in Korea, Iran considering restarting it’s nuclear program, the US tearing apart between Trump-loving “patriots” and everybody else…

#MAGA Indeed!!!

But WE ARE AT WAR WITH NORTH KOREA.

In 1953 they signed an ARMISTICE (cessation of hostilities) not a Peace Treaty. Each side agreed to the 38th parallel as a DMZ and with minor skirmishes aside, each party has held to that. (The Korean DMZ is the most heavily mined, observed, and guarded area in The World because of it.) We keep 35,000 US Troops in South Korea and another 40,000 in Japan at all times because of this (Japan is also the headquarters of the US Seventh Fleet.)

In a very REAL technical and cultural sense the WAR HAS CONTINUED (sorry, “Police Action by the U.N. has continued.”)

The ignorance in the White House (and among the US Media) is mind-boggling.

Saying that you are a size 6 would be absurd, Sarah

Maybe this is a good indication that, while stupid Americans accept the re-interpretation of what 45 has said, the international community takes what is said as NOT open to interpretation. Maybe it’s time for 45 to think before speaking and be a little more cautious in his language.

I hope the DNK doesn’t shoot down any US planes but, if they should, the families and loved ones of the lost souls should sue the ever-lovin’ crap out this moron for wrongful death and incitement.

OT, but I just got home and saw that Trump is announcing some kind of educational initiatives and grants for young children, a pathway for success. Pointed out Ivanka, and then asked this little black kid what he was interested in. Didn’t hear his answer, but Trump reached over to shake his hand. When he let go, the boy looked at his own hand briefly. My husband said he was probably making sure he had all his fingers. :+1:

Or maybe his were longer than Trump’s and that surprised him.

Now Betsy DeVos is blathering. click

Dear Sarah, it is absurd for me to say the words “President Trump.”
