This is why Trump is unfit for the office.

Post by ip_law-hokie »

Perhaps a Trump apologist can tell me how improvised remarks escalating tensions with NK from an idiot are a good thing. Trump should focus on Twitter tirades against Hillary, and let Rex and other adults run the show.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/09/us/p ... korea.html

Mr. Bannon’s allies in the alt-right media and activist groups have been waging a ferocious public attack against General McMaster, characterizing him as soft on issues like Iran, Israel and terrorism and promoting a hashtag #FireMcMaster. They are angry that General McMaster has pushed out several hard-liners associated with Mr. Bannon from the National Security Council staff. Mr. Trump came to General McMaster’s defense last week with a statement expressing confidence in him.

But in the North Korea debate, like a similar one over Afghanistan, Mr. Bannon has been arguing against what his side considers the excessively militant approach of the “war party” of General McMaster. While Mr. Bannon has his own channel to the president, he has been shut out of most formal discussions of North Korea by the national security team.

Neither camp advocated language like “fire and fury,” according to the people involved. Among those taken by surprise, they said, was John F. Kelly, the retired four-star Marine general who has just taken over as White House chief of staff and has been with the president at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., for his working vacation.

Oh good grief.
Trumps language wasn't reckless.
Reckless was Bill Clinton nuke-arming NKorea in the first place.
Reckless was Obama/Hillary!/Kerry doing the same for Iran

NYT is shameless. No better than a NKorean paper, or 1950s Pravda. Eff the NYT

The Usuals are probably right on this one, it's really no big deal at all. It'll be just like Call of Duty.
Now let's get back to important topics like transgender children, Colin Kaepernick, and ex-Google employees who got all the sads because they couldn't get a girlfriend.

Donald Trump is a stupid man's idea of a smart man, a poor man's idea of a rich man, and a weak man's idea of a strong man.

Everyone seems to disagree with you, which is why his administration, again, needs to perform damage control and walk the statements back. If Rex quits, as has been rumored, god help us.

Funny that you take issue with the administration dealing with a nuclear North Korea and not the administration who made them nuclear North Korea. You should ponder that.

Blaming the past for current stupid shirt, while not criticizing the current stupid shirt because you are a partisan, is also a bitch. Not interested in your deflection game, Cap'n.

You think improvised, off-the-cuff remarks like this are a good idea?

If Trump's tweet scared you, Mattis' comments will really make you piss your panties.

This is how you deal with North Korea. This is what they understand. This administration's tact has been refreshing as we're enlisting China to put pressure on them as well.

Your feigned outrage is cute though as your side tries to instigate war with Russia - an excuse for your candidate losing states she never visited in an election. :lol:

Have you finished forensic analysis on which leader from the Boy Scouts thanked Trump yet?

:lol: We knew you had no integrity or self-respect when you voted for House HarKklinton, but this is pretty is pretty low even for you.

I have no problem with Mattius' statement. I have problems with impromptu, unvetted statements from a used car salesman who appears a little senile to me.

And, asshole, I didn't vote for Hillary or support her. Kiss my ass.

1. IP is a victim.

2. Genuine, non-focus group'd statements are refreshing.

3. Mattis' statement isn't really any different from Trump's.

4. Trump is a Billionaire, most powerful man in the world; beat the media and a pre-ordained candidate, and bangs a super model every night. I think he has things figured out.

5. IP is still bitter that his crooked Senator lost. Maybe he'll get a chance to vote for her a third time if she runs for mayor.

2. Nope
3. A lot different.
4. You got a little excited typing that, admit it.

IP should have picked Jill Stein for his pretend vote to save face.
Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson couldn't name the leader of North Korea

Agreed. Same message. Different delivery. One makes the listeners chuckle. The other makes the listeners think twice.
