NYT is shameless. No better than a NKorean paper, or 1950s Pravda. Eff the NYT
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.
chaos, total chaos.....good to see you beleive the mis-information that the MSM is putting out there
its not chaos and Rex is not quitting,
Yes, NK is a problem created by you buddy Obummer
What are you doing on a message board, cwtcr. You should be having a bloody marry on the 14th at Quayle Hollow, watching those mofos drive the green.
pay big dollars to watch golf, no thanks. I sold ice cream at Quayle Hollow the last 5-6 years that we did to make money for the VT Alumni Assoc. but the folks running the PGA show did not want us this year, we did all the Wells Fargo tourneys. So I have been out there alot but working as a volunteer, I would never pay to watch golf
What you said, cwtcr
I've been there, done that, and have learned over the years a few things about myself: First, if I just have to go, a pre tournament practice day is best. Smaller crowds, easier access to the players I want to watch, etc. Crowds and the physical/aesthetic restrictions moving mobs, er spectators, cause make it less enjoyable for me.
Lastly, watching live golf is like watching live sex. Unless you're a voyeur and a pervert like our little patent file clerk in New York it's tough to watch for very long. I'd rather participate than watch. So, for me, at a golf tournament, 90 to 120 minutes on site is my limit. I have to go tee it up. Know what I mean, Vern?

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.

Trump already drew a line right before NK announced it was going to invade Guam.

Launching missiles or launching missiles with warheads
per Georgie on GMA this morning the 4 are a test, no warhead, but they are overflying Japan (I am sure they are ok with that) and the missile is one they have had problems with in the past as far as successful launches. Its a mess

Ummm.... huh?? NK never said they were going to invade Guam, they reportedly said they would fire missiles at Guam. Which if they do that is an attack on the US and will be defended to the fullest extent which is exactly what the prez should say. Now the Fat Boy is saying they will direct a missile test into an area around Guam, which is just Fat boy being a dumbass again

The big mess would be overflying Japan and having the missile crap out and land in Japan. Or do the same in Guam.
The other mess would be how the WH reacts if NK actually tosses a few missiles in the vicinity of Guam.

Either of those would be ballsy of Un.

Yes, his statements don't matter. I'm fine with that because I don't like a president Trump. I love the fact that Mattis is in control of the situation. Given his history and what I've seen from him so far, I'm not sure I'd want anyone else in control.
Presumably people that were so worried about our standing in the world "falling" over the last 8 years would be bothered by the fact that statements by our president don't matter. To add on to that, people that actually pretend to support his policies should also be bothered.
He's our President, H2. IIWII
Exactly, that's why I like that fact that what he says doesn't matter. You can call it whatever you want, but his statements and his opinions are mattering less and less. You're probably just as happy about that as I am.
You're bending things.
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!

FYI, what Trump tweeted was tame compared to the words McMaster used, He gave one heck of a warning to Fat boy
maybe Obummer should have done something in his 8 years parked in the white house

OK, we'll just say THAAD is on the job, that should cover the area.

On a serious note, the US should and will try to shoot them all down if they try. If any of them overfly mainland Japan, something went wrong.
