    Well, not you ludicrous farts, obviously, but educated people tend to. Who was Reagan? That trade-union rep they bought out, was it, the crap actor?

    And you think they have abandoned their nukes because Trump declared the threat over?

    It kinda looks like Kim made a chump out of Trump.

    I don't feel any safer with President Trump. I don't think bullying is the way to peace.

    That's President Trump's way. It always has been. He got kicked out of public school for being a bully as a kid. He is a total bully. He attacks, threatens. That's what he does.

    More evidence that anti-Trumpers believe the political elite can be conflated with "the world". No, sorry, your davos men and political class may mean the world to you, but to the rest, they're the problem.
    The anti-Trumper's new mantra:

    “B-b-but muh White supremacy”

    Why? You have a coherent .self', do you? Keep it safe in a museum, do, where people can come and admire it! You're a nutter, kid. All the imaginary thing will ever really do is die, unless - as seems very likely - you go gaga first.
