Hopefully they can get him out before he starts a nuclear war.
Mr Trump told reporters on Tuesday: "North Korea best not make any more threats to the US. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."

Yeah but all the misdirection has shut down the Russian debate hasn't it!
Seems that when Trump suddenly decided to tweet in the small hours of the morning that he was banning trans people from the forces this was happening at the exact same time:
FBI agents raided the Alexandria home of President Trump’s former campaign chairman late last month, using a search warrant to seize documents and other materials, according to people familiar with the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Federal agents appeared at Paul Manafort’s home without advance warning in the predawn hours of July 26, the day after he met voluntarily with the staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee.

What was the threat made by Chairman Kim that prompted Trump's statement?

How long will Trump be president? Doesn't really matter as there will be no US or Korea in the next couple of weeks once they unleash fire and fury on each other.

Hopefully we will then win more medals in the athletics.

Hmmm....now i'm no expert, but when faced with a heavily armed, deranged, trigger-happy megalomaniac threatening to kick off, I probably wouldn't select a heavily armed, deranged, trigger-happy megalomaniac as my 1st choice to get the chubby mad-haired fucker to chill the fuck out...

They should just have a 'hair off' to see who wins. get people to vote on the worst trim and put the nukes away.

the most worrying thing is a one point Trump threatened to nuke South Korea - the bloke is an absolute fuckwit.

Think we've gone past the point of laughing at him, its getting genuinely scary.
Trump said:
"I will tell you this, if North Korea does anything in terms of even thinking about attack of anybody that we love or we represent or our allies or us they can be very, very nervous.
I'll tell you why… because things will happen to them like they never thought possible. I will tell you this, North Korea better get their act together or they're gonna be in trouble like few nations have ever been in trouble in this world."

Getting genuinely scary?

For the people of South Korea, Japan, Guam and even Australia, all of whom have been recently threatened with nuclear strikes by the vile North Korean regime, I imagine it’s been a scary situation for some time.

I reckon him and Kim Jong should have some strange deathmatch brawl in a big arena where they can pick 3 weapons and go at it.

More journalists should be like this when faced with obvious BS.


Well he got made to sweat didn't he, this is exactly what the BBC should have done with the pro-brexit campaigners who were making outlandish claims, with no foundation, but again they were too nice and let them pedal the same bullshit and look where it has left us.

With regards to trump, I don't necessarily disagree with what he is doing in terms of a tougher approach towards North Korea, we have (NATO, the UN and America etc) tried negotiation, diplomacy and squeezing them economically and look where it has got us, they have still managed to improve their ballistic missiles and possibly have the capability of a nuclear missile.
It's time to crack down on them, and stop being soft.
Trump just hasn't really put that across correctly.

Which we knew it would didn't we?

Don't see anything scary about it. It seems a copycat speech from JFK from the 60's and most people view the Kennedys as liberal.

While most of the US is concentrating on a huge hurricane that's about to hit Trump has given a presidential pardon to Joe Arpaio.

If you don't know who that is he was Sheriff of Arizona who implemented the anti illegal immigrant law which was later reversed by the Supreme Court.

He was also investigated by the Department of Justise who concluded he had overseen the worst racial profiling in US history.

Another case concluded he was unfairly targeting Mexicans in traffic stops.

He conducted an investigation into Obama insisting his birth certificate was forged.

Other 'highlights' include cases against him for:
Abuse of power
Unlawful use of immigration laws
Violation of election law
Failure to investigate sex crimes
Misuse of funds

He was issued an injunction to prevent him carrying out illegal immigration round-ups.
That was ignored and he was found to be detaining minorities without anything to suggest a crime had taken place. He was convicted for deliberately ignoring the injunction.

Of course Trump isn't a lunatic racist, it's just people trying to make him look bad.

The problem with you guys is you believe everything the newspapers say. The newspapers are 90% liberal and they all hate Trump because he threatens the establishment. You aren't going to hear about any of the good things Trump is doing, you'll only hear about the bad things. And if there aren't any bad things, they'll make the good things sound like bad things.

<snip>
If you are going to comment about something you know little about, at least get your facts straight.
Arpaio was not 'Sheriff of Arizona'. There is no such title. He was Sheriff of Maricopa County, which is one of many counties in Arizona.
As Sheriff he would not implement any laws, that would be done by the State Legislature.
He would be responsible for enforcing the law as would any law enforcement agency.
Previous administrations had chosen not to enforce the law. Was that a good thing?
Illegal immigration has always been against the law of the United States.
That said, however, I don't believe the US President should have the power to pardon criminals. It's a misuse of power in my opinion.

So he was an Arizona sheriff who was rightfully convicted of racial profiling and abuse of people in his custody. And Trump pardoned him. What signal does that give to minorities and to Nazis?

Interesting tweets from their local paper:

We've been covering Joe Arpaio for more than 20 years. Here's a couple of things you should know about him...
He ran a jail that he described as a "concentration camp.
Prisoners there died at an alarming rate, often without explanation.
One of his jailers nearly broke the neck of a paraplegic guy who had the temerity to ask for a catheter.
One time, as a publicity stunt, he marched Latino prisoners into a segregated area with electric fencing.
Here's a couple of other examples of what went on in his jails:
Keeping 'em in Stitches
Arpaio’s Jail Staff Cost Ambrett Spencer Her Baby, and She’s Not the Only One
109 Degrees of Incarceration
He ran an ongoing "mugshot of the day" contest on the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office website.
He arrested New Times reporters for covering him. We won a $3.75 million settlement for that one.
Under him, the MCSO failed to investigate hundreds of sex abuse cases, many of which involved children.
But he somehow found time and money to send a deputy to Hawaii to look for Barack Obama's birth certificate.
Oh, and one time he staged an assassination attempt against himself? That was weird.
In 2013, a federal judge confirmed what literally everyone in Phoenix knew: he'd been racially profiling Latinos.
So naturally, he hired a PI to investigate the judge and his wife.
He also kept on profiling people, which is why he got charged with contempt of court (and was found to be guilty AF)
He also tried to destroy some of the hard drives containing material that was supposed to be turned over the court.
By 2015, his fondness for racial profiling had cost the county more $44 million. On top of, you know, ruining lives.
He also paid millions to settle lawsuits like this one, where deputies stood by as an inmate was brutally beaten.
Because this is the Old West or something, he had a "Sheriff's Posse." One member got arrested on child porn charges
His office was responsible for countless fiascos like this botched SWAT raid, where deputies set a puppy on fire.
So, yeah, that's who Trump just pardoned.

Someone replied to them saying they'd missed this:

The pardoning of a sheriff who behaved like a concentration camp boss sends a clear message... as he did when he encouraged police brutality at a recent speech to the police.... as he did when he called Mexicans rapists... and classed anti Nazi protestors as equal to Nazis...He is appealing to his base who are as resolute to him as Chatham postal workers are to Brexit. It doesn't matter how badly or downright stupid things are panning out.. they will resolutely back Trump ( or in the U.K. , Brexit )... Frightening...

Didn't want to start a new thread for this so I'll put it here. How can something like this happen? And how is the police officer still in a job let alone on active duty?
