To be honest Karne didn't say what organization awarded him the title "Secretary of State". Could be the local tennant's association. Secretary of state of the garbage bins.

Well, someone has to be responsible for the sorry state of the garbage bins.

I know what joke you were making, i was just making a different joke, since Clinton email jokes aren't that interesting. It's actually funnier to assume you're secretary of state of the garbage bins of your apartment building, yet had a similar email scandal as Clinton, than to assume you're just Clinton.

The interesting Clinton jokes were all on the hardware that was "accidentally" destroyed.


_Sorry.

That explains how the russians got so many good clinton jokes...

BEARS.

Trump threatens North Korea once more:

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/10/07/politics/trump-north-korea-negotiations-tweet/index.html

Is there anyone that is doubting that Trump wants war with North Korea by this point?

Well, I am. Trump wants capitulation, not war. If he wanted war itself, I don't think he would have waited this long to order the launch of nuclear weapons.

He's trying to treat this like the same game of chicken he's always played with everyone he's ever worked with. The problem is he's driving a car at an oncoming train and daring them to swerve first. He's a plutocrat at heart, with a plutocrat's inherent belief that everything is mutable if you throw enough money at it. The Kim regime and much of the structure of the DPRK being dependent on being ready and willing to respond in kind to American aggression, and thus forced on an almost existential level to match him threat-for-threat rhetorically, isn't the kind of thing he's ever really encountered before.

I don't think the plan is to go nuclear (at least not initially) I think we will see the start of a military buildup to invade North Korea soon.

I created that yahoo acct in 1992, or there about.

It would be "or there about", but actually way, way off. In 1992 there were only 10 websites on the WWW (130 by 1993 and 2,738 by '94). And no such thing as webmail or yahoo. Yahoo was founded in 1994, and yahoo mail started in October 1997. So you really couldn't have had yahoo mail or any sort of webmail account before that, unless you had hotmail in 1996.

Neither do I, because I don't think there's a plan. I think there's one moron in the White House who thinks the DPRK will break three tweets from now and give him a great, great deal on Trump Tower Pyongyang and there's another group of very desperate people well aware that their only hope of maintaining the status quo is to brag about their readiness for an invasion they know they cannot repel. Neither of the belligerents in this fight want this fight, but one side can't stop asking for it and the other can't shut up about anything at all.

But I also think that Trump is aware that nuclear weapons are the one thing people have to take him seriously and literally on. They will make him feel imperial. On anything else from firing the people investigating him to golfing instead of governing, his will is subverted by reality and other people; in this one matter, he can tell people to do something and they cannot help but do it. If he wanted war, he could get it as easily as he gets Diet Coke delivered to the Oval Office.

He doesn't want war. War is the little shit he doesn't want to sweat. He just wants to win.

We've had at least one giant NK derail recently so we should try to keep this under a page, but invading NK is functionally the same thing as going nuclear.  If Trump with all his advisors doesn't understand that, then I can see why Tillerson was angry enough to call him a f****** moron.  Assuming no nukes and no Chinese intervention, it would still be the Iraq War x10.  That's no more acceptable than nuclear war, which is to say, not acceptable at all.

This isn't a derail, these are things the president of the UNITED STATES is saying.
