I've seen plenty of numpties retweeting satire, thinking it was the real thing and getting outraged etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) The Rocket Polisher speaking at the UN about the Rocket Man. "The Rocket Man is on a suicide mission" and that he might have no other option than to totally annihilate North Korea. It's like an even worse spin off to Dumb & Dumber. "Now they've got nukes" Edited September 19, 2017 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 19, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 19, 2017 A man who has spoken at the UN, a forum ostensibly for maintaining peace in the world and has threatened three other nations with obliteration, for three entirely different reasons, who has directly threatened the murder of millions of people, some for motives which he's made clear are purely financial, has ended his speech by accusing them of being "rogue". It would seem to me that rather than the disobedient children, we should be more afraid of the psychotic father - resistance will not be tolerated.

Davkaus Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The more long, uninterrupted speeches that this lunatic gets to give, with opportunities to lose his train of thought and go Full Trump, the better. He can often just about get through short Q&As, or gets dragged off stage by White House staffers. Put the crazy bastard on stage for half an hour as often as possible!

HanoiVillan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Closer to the truth is that Trump gave the green light to KSA and the UAE during his Middle East tour, whether directly or indirectly, to the blocking of the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Graph shows that households in the bottom 25% of the income distribution in America are actually paid less than they were at the turn of the millenium.

No prizes for spotting who has done well out of the last 17 years. This is cash income and inflation adjusted. It's very hard to see where income growth will come from in terms of the lower deciles. Massive jumps in top fractiles probably those who profited from the recession/ recovery. Only potential issue with comparing to 2000 is that that is when the dot com bubble burst and lead to a recession.

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think China just turned the lights off in North Korea figuratively speaking. No more money for them from Chinese banks. I didn't see this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
