American Politics

[GoonerAlexandre]

This is why the American political system is rubbish by separating powers, you never get anything done.

Overall, I've come to the conclusion that the British system is the best.

There's also the American rubbish of electing your judges, which has to be the most bonkers thing

Better than one party having all the power and being able to ram anything they want through unopposed.

Republicans have the power in all three Chambers and if it was anyone else but Trump, they'd ram through anything they want unopposed

Plus they also have conservative control of the Supreme Court.

So what are you complaining about?

This Bill didn't fail because of separation of powers, it failed because the Republicans can't get their shit together and the worst President of all time is in office.

McCain is one of the only Republicans I hold any semblance of respect for

The man deserves a medal. He played the GOP like a fiddle

McCain was playing 72D Space Invaders while McConnell was playing 1D Connect Four

Now the Republicans need at least 60 votes to pass new healthcare legislation for the next year. They had 7 years to come up with a replacement, and now they control all 3 branches of the federal government, so passing legislation should be easy. Yet, they can't even govern right, obstructing themselves now. Ffs pitiful party smh. The 2018 midterms can't come soon enough.

It's an absolute shambles and one that trump supporters literally can't fathom. Trump and the republicans are a farce and if it wasn't a country we hold so close to us and has so much influence on world politics, if be laughing even harder.

I mean honestly, he hasn't got a f***ing Scooby, loss after loss and there's literally no excuse.

6 months in and he's still attacking Clinton like he's running a campaign instead of trying to get at least one bit of legislation through.

And these are the people we are trying to negotiate our biggest trade deal with ffs.

[Slick]

The bill failed because even the toothless knuckle draggers that continue to vote Republican, which is clearly against their own interests, were blasting their representatives in the town halls and realized that even though the negro, Muslim, communist Obama(their words not mine) has a better healthcare plan than anything the Republicans can put together.

The Republicans have spent the last 8 years as the party of no, opposing anything Obama tried to do, that they have no real plans of their own.

[LMAO]

Trump going ebonics on us

North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States.

Mad Dog barking now

[The North Korean regime] had better cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and destruction of its people.”

“The DPRK must choose to stop isolating itself and stand down its pursuit of nuclear weapons...the regime’s actions will continue to be grossly overmatched by ours and would lose any arms race or conflict it initiates.”

This is getting spicy

(Most likely nothing will happen though because Kim surely knows any strike against us means RIP him, his regime, and North Korea. I don't want another 'war' anyway.)

[GoonerAlexandre]

As if the USA could beat North Korea

[Va-Va-Voom]

America will blow North Korea out of existence in 5 minutes if that fat pig tries anything.

It's all posturing, North Korea will never do anything, they know their place.

north koreas missiles are pretty much the equivalent of a paper plane flying about

[Zedie]

North Korea has thousands of pounds of ordinance pointed at south Korea. They hate America and s Korea with all their heart and Kim jong uns followers are probably as fanatic as trumps.

They probs believe that dying is better than living as an American proxy state.

I'm pretty confident trump doesn't give a shit about sk or Guam and is talking poop because thats all he knows.

I've already heard how it's not trumps fault if something does happen but let's face it, if it kicks off and people end up dying, it'll be because of his big mouth and his misguided sense of self importance.

I'm wondering if this whole situation escalating is going to force China into committing to a land invasion. Whoever does go in, is in for the long haul...

[Highbury Hillbilly]

China must think it's dreaming. It's not even 20 years into the new century and they have been gifted with not one, but two utterly incompetent Republican administrations that are willing to piss away billions to show tiny countries who's boss.

NK has been on a China funded lifeline ever since the USSR dissolved. If Xi wants Kim to do his nuclear dance to distract the US from Chinese activities abroad, Kim doesn't really have a say.

Meanwhile, China's economic relations (soon to become domination) and military base construction in Asia and Africa continues with nary a word from the big strong Americans.

That was 10 years ago.

Their most advanced missile is expected to be ready soon and can travel over 11000 km.
