@farmerman,
Well look at that, the mad bomber thinks a first strike on North Korea is a swell way to go.

Good luck everybody, hope you don't live near a strike zone.

What you propose is like having the UK decide to do a massive first strike on Iran "on their own behalf"

Try to think in multi dimensions when its about "massive first strikes" , and stop being a bunch of jingoists.

Your preaching appeasement...which will lead to nuclear blackmail which will ultimately lead us to have to act first in any case...better the first million be their Military.

It's only a strike zone until we obliterate their ability to strike.

yes it can be helped.

Oh? How exactly can it be prevented?

When did we agree that this idiot president would be given a free hand on the button??

The Secretary of Defense has a say in our use of nukes too.

It is unlikely though that the Secretary of State will agree with liberal ideals welcoming nuclear strikes against US cities.

How do we minimize an attack on Japan?

We smash North Korea as hard as we possibly can in a massive nuclear strike to ensure that as much as possible has been destroyed before they launch their attack.


farmerman wrote:
If we do a first strike do you think we will get an ok from China or Russia? Or do you think they dont have anything at stake?

We won't be asking for their permission.


farmerman wrote:
I hope Trumpty listens to T Rex

I am not sure what you mean. But Trump is not likely to favor the liberal ideal that nuclear attacks against US cities are a good thing.

When it comes to preventing nuclear attacks against American cities, no non-liberal president will ever let any foreign entity have a veto.

If Iran was going to nuke the UK, the UK would have every right to launch such an attack.

No. I prefer to see the US and our allies protected as much as is possible from nuclear attack.

Clearly it is by far the least-bad option.

That's the good thing about having the war before North Korea can reach mainland US.

Mainland US is also only a strike zone if we delay the war until after they have the means to strike us.

If we have the war soon, North Korea will have no way of striking mainland US.

@oralloy,
If it works out to a "first strike" , lets think about fully arming the S Koreaqns with NIKE ZEUS's and let THEM decide.
Your(and gooey's) light thinking will lead to WWIII as a definite possibility. However if we fully arm both sides and send them info about MAD, maybe they will come to respect each other a bit more. The new SK president thinks more like me than you.
I think thats the key to this all.

After GOP elected Donald Trump president, now Callista Gingrich as Amb. to Vatican, let us never hear again about "protecting marriage."
Not that the modern GOP and conservatism are now totally corrupted, or anything.

@blatham,
We don't have "maternal leave" in Germany. But we've got parental leave. (More here (in English)

It started in 1979 (for mothers) ...

Obama was just President of those same United States. Why didn't he just take care of that? Why don't liberal business owners offer paid maternity leave (Are their liberal business owners in the US?)? Why does something like that need to a Republicans/conservatives judgement?

Oh, and by the way... Trump may finally bring paid parental leave to America this year

Donald Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen has ignited a debate about fatherly pride, after tweeting a picture of his daughter in lingerie.

He shared a black and white modelling shot of his daughter, 21-year-old Samantha, with the words: "So proud of my Ivy League daughter... brains and beauty channeling her Edie Sedgwick".

Minutes later, he found himself branded "Mr Creepypants" by critics on Twitter.

Several of the replies drew angry retaliation from Mr Cohen.

"Most fathers don't post lingerie shots of their daughters. I guess #Trump must be rubbing off on you," one tweeter said.

The angry lawyer responded: "Beauty and brains you a-hole! It's a modeling shot remake from an old Edie Sedgwick photo. #hater"

President Trump once said of his eldest daughter: "If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

Another Twitter responder, Shannon Coulter, wrote: "Edie Sedgwick bucked social norms for women in the mid-1960s. If you'd been her dad, you'd have been angry and terrified."

She then reposted the original photograph of Edie Sedgwick in a black bra and tights, which shows her smoking and "sitting on a man as if he was furniture".

Mr Cohen, who serves as the president's personal attorney, also called one unimpressed woman "jealous".

Some observers suggested Mr Cohen's pride wasn't at fault - only his choice of picture.

"She's lovely," tweeted a woman with the handle @kidsistah. "But seriously dude, no cap & gown pics available? Think before you post. If she has got brains, she didn't get them from you."

@McGentrix,
Obama has been pushing congress to pass just that. AND it was by EO that he made Fed Employees covered by such policy. If Congress does pqss it this year, Im sure itll be not in some small way due to the road thats been plowed by Obama.

@Walter Hinteler,
It's fairly common knowledge that if you receive a letter demanding money and stating that they may take legal action if you don't pay you can safely ignore it. May doesn't mean ****. If a letter says they will prosecute, then pay the bastard.
