You still try to play both sides. I don't see "ignoring them" as the same as Sanctioning them. Ignore doesn't mean to take an action against...…
So again, either way it fell, you would be able to say, "see, I was right".....
Now I wont go as far as Mike and call you what he has....but "ignore" seems appropriate.....
Have a good one Mr, "Im always right"...…

I don't really see sides anymore.
I've gotten tired of sides.
I vote fiscal conservatism and for small government. I want government the **** out of my life. In foreign policy I want us to be adversarial to our rivals... containment has worked for 70 years so if it isn't broke don't fix it. So I used to vote nothing but Republican... now...<shrug>.
There is a right way to do things and a wrong way to do things and people make mistakes.
Trump yesterday, and for about the past week, is about 1000% the wrong way to do things. I say this because it accomplishes nothing.
With North Korea... most have gotten it wrong. They gave it the old college try and you can't fault them but it turned out to be wrong. It's probably one of Obama's only good plays in foreign policy in his entire 8 years. Just ignoring them.
North Korea sucks because we can't attack them. It's not Iraq or Iran. It's a no win for us in the long run... it's more about minimizing our losses... and waiting/hoping the regime changes or collapses.

It's always"what about HRC or what about BHO". If Trump is better than them, then it is still not saying much.

How could Trump have misspoke during the speech when he in fact double downed on it with Hannity afterwards?
Man is a patholgoical liar. President of the Defender of Putin club.

You have no conception of reality, fiscal conservatism is a myth in today's American politic. It is all lets pretend until happy hour, the Congress is nothing more than a junkie that needs to spend more tomorrow than it did today. And half of voters that call themselves such are nothing more than chameleons looking for what behooves them in government. North Korea and Iran soon to be in no position but abstain or die, if economics do not improve in either country their own people will slice their nutcase leaders throats with a little help. People like yourself get your free speech and watch it happen, Russia will sell them out in a snap. Everything is coming into alignment for something to happen that no one could do before. Just think all those history books turn out to be nothing more than crap going forward.

No problem, you can't do anything about it so why think about it.

Not true. Trump is a very sincere man, and truly believes everything he says at the time that he says it.

As bad as this week was or was not for Trump - at least nobody died. (Benghazi)

No disrespect, but not even close to being on the same level. Previous administration was do nothing because no one will notice versus lets get something done. I understand how cheep life was to those people and the point you make to that.

they did a lot....
funded and expanded international terrorism with $150 billion cash to Iran
attempted to interfere with Israels' election and get Netanyahu beat
watched China build a new island and claim it as part of their regime
attempted to turn USA into a 3rd world country
appointed 'leadership' to many agencies with their flock
we could go on and on

I can not verify the truthfulness of the following press conference. It is the greatest black president EVER that never lied a smidgen and also the great CNN (although it could have been by any media outlet there at the time).
no facts, every expert that ever examined these issues ALL agree...
