What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Monoriu]

I have to wonder if the guy is actively trying to provoke a nuclear war.

If you think Un is irrational enough to go to war over stuff like that, maybe you should lobby your government to stop keeping him up.

That is politics, which is something that happens to me, not something for me to influence

And even if you did want to influence isn't that generally frowned upon for civil servants?

Mono told me China doesn't care if North Korea nukes parts of East Asia and North American because it would not affect them in any way. At all. So they don't care.

They have zero responsibility for North Korea's internal affairs. Despite, you know, being 100% responsible for the North Korean regime existing. But besides that they have zero responsibility.

For an ancient civilization they seem kind of idiotic.

Mono is definitely kind of idiotic, but I'm pretty sure he does not actually represent the thinking of Zhongnanhai.

Of course, but I don't even need to get there.  I don't want to influence, I can't influence, I am not allowed to influence, me trying to influence will get absolutely no where, etc.

I think Twitter should rethink their policy of allowing spoof accounts, in light of the fact that it has now become a channel of diplomatic communication.  Certain parts of the word have a history of failing to identify spoofs, and it would be a shame if a nuclear exchange or two happened because of that.

Twitter should rethink its existence.

:Psst:: Mono, that's from a spoof comedy account.

With 45 million followers and the coveted "blue checkmark" I don't think that is a spoof account, unless it is the greatest spoof account of all time.

The President of the United States actually said that as an official statement.

[DGuller]

Oh.

With all due respect, he does sound like a kid.

Yes, that was my joke; Trump IS a spoof comedy act.

You won't be laughing when God-Emperor Trump bans all vehicles that don't burn coal.

Yeah, bye

2018 is off to a strong start. 

The Beeb is reporting that some sort of hotline was reopened between Pyongyang and Seoul.

[garbon]

Sad that Bannon and Trump are now at each other's throats.

Yeah, not at all entertaining.
