I kinda wonder if Kim-Jong Un is afraid, at all of a Trump presidency? I wouldn't put it past Trump to just drop a nuke on North Korea then make them pay for it.

I see Trump and North Korea going down similar to how Joel and Norway did.

WW3 IS GOING TO BE YUGE! BETTER THAN THE FIRST TWO COMBINED!

You know what worries me?

Truly?

There are people that legit feel this way. Straight-faced, completely serious. They've been fed a steady stream of the "Greatest Generation" (seriously, die choking in a ***, Brokaw) and they truly feel they need their own Great War to set the world back on the right track.

Sensationalizing the past without acknowledging its flaws is a major problem in this country.


That's why I never understood Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan. Under what specific era or time period, in your sun shining, bright smile, cup of joe way was America "great"? What exactly are we aiming to go back to? Cause there's not a single era or generation where we were we weren't either under severe financial distress, massive prejudice of minority groups, or outright at war.

I said in the thread earlier but the 1950s is what most Americans are waxing nostalgic about when they want 'great' America back.

America just won WWII, the minorities were in their place, women were still getting slapped around and we had factory jobs still!

MAKE AMERICA 1950 AGAIN.

Right?

I really, really wish I had known to invest the $50 I got for my First Communion back in '90 in Halliburton instead of that kick-*** Lego castle set. But how could I have known the Gulf War was coming and *** Cheney was going to make a killing (literally and financially)!?

I think it was our secondary industrial revolution in the 50s that really help put the 50s on the map as our "golden era". That and the commercial facade of everyday American life being like Ozzie and Harriet.

Well, life is just easier when everyone knows their role and doesn't try to step out of place, you know?

Funny you mention that. Reminds me of a recent video done by Extra Credits calling out for the lack of creative vision and catalysts to help paint the picture of the future which we've been doing for decades, but have recently diminished as of late.

Just wait until the secret service convoy blocks traffic enough that a pregnant woman in labor couldn't reach the hospital in time and had to deliver at a bus stop. And then the media going after Trump for not letting emergencies go past him.

I quite like era where you could hijack a plane and know it was a good old American boy like DB Cooper and not one of these Mooselims, yaknow?

That Cooper. Hijacks a plane, demands a ransom then jumps out of that plane into history. That's the American ingenuity that made us the greatest country ever.

No handouts. Take what you want, leave nothing back.

You really want people to have flying cars? The same people that manage to wrap themselves around guard rails, trees or go up the wrong side of the interstate for miles without noticing?

Ah yes. Today in local news, a grandmother nosedived her 2015 Toyota into a school full of children. Terrorism has been ruled out. Investigators believe grandma had a heart attack when she saw how high off the ground she was.

Personally, I don't think candidates should get Secret Service protection. Being able to survive on your own should be part of the test of becoming president.

You wouldn't have to worry about guard rails, trees, or going up the wrong side of the interstate from 10,000 feet up!

We'll have self-driving before flying, anyway - we will never have human-piloted flying cars.

(And even self-driving is farther off in practice than people really want to believe)

Sparth, Sparth, Sparth. You're not paying attention.

I don't want flying cars.

I want the dream of flying cars to be alive and well. That sense of hope and destiny of something great!

...what I'm saying is that I hate the *** Prius.

Obviously, we'd build car catchers over schools and school playgrounds. Who's pay for them? Mexico!

It was a snip at Obama doing the same thing except without all the media blowback.

Because we both know that if it was Trump, not Obama, that this happened to, the media would be having a field day.

You know, you say that, but we both know that for the Donald, any media attention is good attention. Even if it's for torching an orphanage.

I mean, let's face it. His supports know that those *** orphans were leaching public money, you know?
