Members I Am A Swede Posted May 10, 2018 Members Share Posted May 10, 2018 Not unexpected I guess, but frustrating nonetheless. Climate change is the biggest threat to life on earth and the flippant attitude towards it that Trump and his administration exhibits is irresponsible to say the least. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44067797 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 10, 2018 Members Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) All Trump and his cronies care about is grabbing what's theirs (and not theirs), right now. Edited May 10, 2018 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GMac Posted May 11, 2018 Members Share Posted May 11, 2018 Is anyone else still scratching their heads over Kim Jong Un's abrupt change of heart? I don't subscribe or really give much relevance to conspiracy theories, and this is pure speculation on my part...but it seems to me too good to be true. Trump's popularity was on the steady decline, or at least stuck in no man's land. Out of the blue, after a year of trading insults and threats, now these two inept leaders are best buds? Like I said, this is purely speculation on my part, but I can't help but think Putin has his hands in this somehow. He needed to give his American puppet Prez a boost so he made some agreements with Un and voila. Just sayin. Although a nuclear free Korea would be wonderful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 11, 2018 Members Share Posted May 11, 2018 I think: - the testing site collapse has a big role in this - there are probably still other tests or research facilities that we won't know about (and if Trump knows he will stay quiet about for PR reasons) - the sanctions have taken a big toll - China probably got involved as last year they seemed to be increasingly fed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 11, 2018 Members Share Posted May 11, 2018 Speaking of things we'll likely never know, it appears that the U.S. military and government are prepared to sweep this under the rug with no prescriptions on how to avoid this from happening again and no one in the upper echelons even prepared to take responsibility for what is being described as "lax oversight" and "sloppy" paperwork.

Members GMac Posted May 11, 2018 Members Share Posted May 11, 2018 I see what you're sayin. Let's see what happens. I saw that on CBS This Morning today. The animation was disturbing. I feel so sad for these families not only for the death of their sons/husbands/fathers, but to know it was completely avoidable doubles down on the hurt. This is what, the 3rd or 4th military fiasco under Trump after just a year and a half in office? Where's the Benghazi crowd now?!?! Hypocrites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 11, 2018 Members Share Posted May 11, 2018 Until they can figure out a way to blame Obama or Hillary, I guess they'll keep quiet about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted May 11, 2018 Members Share Posted May 11, 2018 This. Remember KJU made an unexpected trip to Beijing just a couple of weeks before things settled down. I bet the Chinese called him in and took him to task. Meanwhile, Trump then starts **** with Iran.

Members DRW50 Posted May 12, 2018 Members Share Posted May 12, 2018 I'm glad for her but she also signed a law at the same time making it more difficult for lgbt people to adopt or foster kids... @marceline I guess you probably weren't surprised Kucinich flamed out in the gubernatorial primary in Ohio, but did you think it would be closer? The media was pushing him so much, I guess because they want to keep the Bernie vs Democrats war going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
