1. Scares me too.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. some kind of North Korean attack???

[pangaia]

8. god I hope not. I have TOO MANY dear friends in South Korea,,

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. I can not even imagine how their lives are in chaos. Probably even

worse than Japanese and Hawaiians at anyone else within missile perimeters.

[pangaia]

38. You know, the Korean people I know have lived with some DPRK

threat for so long, they, as best as they can, 'take it in stride.' How else can one live a life?


But, yes, this time it is a little different.. Still people smile, love, enjoy, post on FB. :&gt )...shop, take the subway, complain about the heat in August,.. and go about their lives... But if I asked anyone I know, I would probably get the same answer. The question isn't even necessary.

I have learned that Korean people, at least the ones I know and make contact with in Korea, have a genuine warmth, generosity, openness, an engagement in life as it is, acceptance, if you will.

Whenever I deplane in Incheon I can feel something that I do not feel anywhere else in the world..(even the flight feels different.) By the time I have gone through customs, bought my T-Money card and AREX card, and picked up my Pocket Wi-Fi, I can feel myself changing.. It is uncanny,,, Once I'm on the AREX to Seoul....the transition is almost complete... 45 minutes later, when I hit Seoul Station., it's like I have shed a skin and a new being has emerged...... The rest of the world has disappeared!

But still, I am worried,, and , I suspect, so are they....

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. Interesting! I have heard people say the same thing

about Thailand. I once asking someone who had travelled..literally to most places on Earth..where he picked as the best and it was there. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be in a country​ with one common set of beliefs

[pangaia]

56. I was only in Thailand once long ago.. about 1988 maybe.

Right after being in Singapore.

Interesting also, my first reaction, for a couple days in Bangkok was how dirty, smelly noisy..it was..especially after. well.. Singapore, :&gt )

But then suddenly, something changed and , I 'got it'... ... traveled to Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son..
Wasn't as touristy, even then...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

67. ohhh...look up cnn - anthony bourdain. his first episode was all about

Singapore - sounded idyllic and scary at same time.

[pangaia]

68. I've seen it. Thanks,,

A bit too idyllic, perhaps. But OOOHHH the food.

[ffr]

17. In video form

You can see it in his f-ing moranic face, Dotard is freakin pissed!!!

31. Right at the end a woman says, "Could(should) we curl up on the sides?"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Meaningless in the bigger scheme - but watching Melania - shows she doesn't

have a fucking clue. She didn't know whether to smile or not.

[SergeStorms]

48. She never has....

a fucking clue about anything. And why is she even IN that picture?

As far as I can figure, her "official" White House job is to have her Stepford Wife smile ready at a moment's notice, and to bear the weight of the make-up and hair care products applied to her before each photo-op. They say she's fluent in six languages, and everyone wonders which languages those would be, since no one speaks Slovenian, or can understand her attempts at speaking "English"?

[snort]

47. POS

[Purveyor]

2. I concur. I'm speculating after trump bails on the Iran agreement, there will be

resignations of at least Mattis, Kelly.

Never thought I might be open to a military coup but getting close.

God help all..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. I work at home and have news in the background the whole time. So I have

heard every thing this monster has said. And, trust me, he CAN NOT keep a secret.

I am 100% convinced that the secret to collusion, could definitely be figured out if someone analyzed his words against actions/events. But, collusion is so benign compared to catastrophe.

For a sane person, this would be innocuous. But for Trump - he is saying something big *and horrible is coming.

[RKP5637]

28. I'm getting that way too, the military might have to step in and rescue the country from Trump. n/t

[HipChick]

4. Dolt45 the entertainer....

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. HC ! my favorite nickname of all - Dolt45 !! what would get his skirt to blow up?

[Girard442]

5. So, basically, he called his military men and their families in for a final moment of togetherness.

Shit.

[NastyRiffraff]

6. Lawrence O'Donnell had this tonight

It was seriously creepy. What president does this....deliberately and maliciously stoking the country's fear?

[Grammy23]

7. A dangerously sick one.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. WTF ! is congress/executive branch doing? they HAVE to protect us, please !

I read how they created a sub rosa plan when Nixon went crazy - like three people who had to "sign off" on a nuke strike? not just Nixon? guess unconstitutional - but hoping someone is doing that now?

[cwydro]

63. You mean the legislative branch, right?

Surely your panic is not overcoming your knowledge of government branches?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

66. nope - Congress AND the Executive Branch. But thanks for pointing

that out in such a lovely manner ! you rock

[yardwork]

11. Meh. Could be just Trumps typical self-aggrandizing behavior.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. no - he HAS to divulge secrets. what could be THAT big to him?

[cwydro]

50. Another panicky DU thread.

Come on folks.

[Flaleftist]

60. It could be BS, but Trump's mental fitness and judgement are questionable

to say the least.

[cwydro]

62. No doubt.

But a few months ago people here were advising others to head for bomb shelters. DU goes into panic mode quickly. It does no one any good.

We've got more than a few Chicken Littles here.

Anyone remember that children's story?

[MrsCoffee]

59. I agree. Typical.

[BootinUp]

12. Fucking distractor in chief. Nt

[TheBlackAdder]

13. He's a sick fuck! It's a photo to remind him of the people he will soon screw over and then fire.

[Girard442]

16. What if he's decided he wants to go out in a big blaze of glory, like Paddock?

[RandySF]

18. This is exactly how war with PRNK starts.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. so you are saying this tweet is a prank?

[RandySF]

21. Peoples Republic of North Korea

[jberryhill]

39. DPRK

They don’t refer to themselves as “North Korea”.

They refer to themselves as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, usually abbreviated to DPRK.

They use “Democratic” the way that many organizations use the word “Christian”.

[RandySF]

40. ooops!

It's been a long day.

[jberryhill]

41. Also, Oops only has two os

It stands for Out of Ordinary PRNK Spelling.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. About Andrew Beatty from Wiki....

Andrew Beatty (born 1980 in Dungannon, Northern Ireland[1][2][3]) is a Northern Irish journalist and editor. He is best known for his current role as the White House Correspondent for Agence France-Presse (AFP). He also serves as a regular pool reporter for the travels of both the president and vice president.[4][5][6]
Beatty previously was the AFP news editor for Southern Africa, an AFP war correspondent in North Africa, a Latin America correspondent for Reuters, and a Brussels-based correspondent for The Economist.[7]

Raised in Tyrone and Antrim, Beatty attended Queen's University Belfast and earned a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy in 2002. He also studied philosophy at the University of Salamanca and anthropology at Stockholm University.[7]

During his career, Beatty has covered notable events such as the Great Recession; the 2010 Haiti earthquake and its aftermath; the 2011 Libyan Civil War, where he covered the battles for Ajdabiya[8], Misurata[9][10], Bani Waled and Tawergha where he was shot at but unharmed; the death of Nelson Mandela; the 2014 Lesotho coup[11] and the 2016 U.S. presidential election and transition.[12]

A 2017 study found that Beatty was one of the journalists most frequently called on by Obama White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.[13] He has been critical of both the Obama and Trump administrations' perceived inaccessibility and hostile attitude towards journalists.

22. if North Korea

Kim Jong Un heard this ANYTHING could happen

[Leghorn21]

23. Another shot from today

via twitter via The Times of Israel...omg and wtf

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. why oh why don't sane men stop this? jeez look at the bags under his eyes.

[Nay]

55. Jesus, he looks completely demented. God help us all.

[Judi Lynn]

42. Doesn't seem possible that pile is "the President." "Lock him up," please!

[SammyWinstonJack]

43. GEEZE but he's ugly.

[Leghorn21]

45. Never more lizard-like, eh, Sammy? This is one of the most astonishing shots of him e v a h -

his mania is on full display and it’s terrifying.

And Gen. Mattis, this man is fried. I don’t know what to make of him, honestly...is he in there fighting the good fight or...?? Whatever he’s doing, it’s destroying him, according to this photo.

*sigh* and

[Purveyor]

24. This event just made the top story on our local 11pm New cast (NBC)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. Are you serious P ? where are you?

[Purveyor]

36. Jackson, Michigan WILX-TV. This has legs, indeed. eom

[ck4829]

27. Support Counter-Recruitment today.

[LA Green]

29. Wow.

Egomaniac with an inferiority complex. Scary stuff.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. wonder what would happen if all the left started praising him to the nth degree

[LA Green]

33. The Guardian claims

that it is in reference to the Iran deal...
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/06/calm-before-the-storm-trump-set-to-walk-away-from-iran-nuclear-deal

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. we already knew that ??

[Binkie The Clown]

46. My guess is more White House firings. nt

[octoberlib]

49. There are rumors floating around Twitter that

Kelly’s resigning today. These rumors are meaningless but I was surprised because I would have picked Tillerson. The angry rhetoric Trump’s spewing iabout Tillerson is the same as before Price resigned. Maybe both of them will resign.

[Vinca]

52. If it's Friday, it's resignation day for someone.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

58. Ha ! Best one would be if Dolt45 resigned

[cwydro]

65. All over DU yesterday that Kelly resigned.

Guess it didn't happen.

[UCmeNdc]

54. WAR?

[LA Green]

69. It's so important to be consistent

We had 8 years of a Democrat (supposedly progressive) president who continued drone strikes, bombings, regime change, etc. and we stood idly by and said/did nothing. Now that this atrocity of a president is in office, it's really hard for me to comprehend how democratic law makers can effectively be in opposition to his hawkish intent. It is my hope that this serves as a lesson to every Progressive out there to quit being hypocrites. Oppose war at all times, not just when your team is not in charge.

[HAB911]

57. The reality TV president ends the day on a cliffhanger.

Will there be nuclear war?

A fascist crackdown?

Tune in tomorrow, Folks!

numbers declining every single minute

[HAB911]
