The trumpster would have gotten the title on his own

Didn’t even have to throw the match.

{Off the ’toon’s topic:}

GETTING THE JUMP – {1.40 limericks}

My tummy’s upset and quivery,

and my antsy skin is shivery, -

- when Donald Trump

tries to get the jump

on Kim ‘bout nuclear delivery.

He’s as nutty as Kim,

but not as smart as him.

======

It would be great if Kim is sincere -- would put him ahead of Trump -- about reducing tensions in the region.

Hey, whatever works. If the DPRK ever actually adheres to any deal they make, it will be a first.

It’s got to be a sign of the times, and America’s failure to elect a “normal” Present, when Kim Jong-un is considered the “adult in the room”. By the way, does anyone else think that S. Korea representative in the toon looks suspiciously like Steve Bannon?

If Kim Jong Un pulls this off, he might get the Nobel Peace award. That should make Trump’s head explode and turn putrid with envy. A Novel prize is MUCH better than a purloined Purple Heart.

Trump called himself a “very stable genius” (VSG). As soon as he tweeted that, the world understood VSG to mean a “volatile, sadistic gadfly.” Do his tweets look any better than such a gadfly?

And the winner of the Nursery Wars is Donny J. Dumptster and his band of Repugnant sycophants. Their hypocrisy far outscores any of KJU’s bravado.

No contest, really.

Every time I think of North Korea, I picture an infantile, bullying, megalomaniacal, dictatorial blowhard narcissist with his finger on the Big Red Button, capable of launching a global nuclear catastrophe. And then I also think of Kim Jong Un.

I’m glad that, with the USA having abdicated any role it may have had in aiding world peace, the rest of the world is solving its own problems without us. It seems better in the long term, especially given how easily one belligerent know-nothing, backed by a party that can’t see past the dollar signs in its eyes, can throw a system that relies too heavily on a Pax Americana into chaos.

I wouldn’t be too shocked if Li’l Kim (or Li’l Donnie) went so far as to attack during the Olympics! (It would probably increase the ratings……..)

^ Best you post that to a dozen more sites just in case anyone missed it the first dozen times. You know how many people habitually skim over your posts.

The truth as to whether Donald Trump believes in aliens may be out there — but the White House isn’t certain.

.

35 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump has done as Commander in Chief. To put that figure in perspective, more Americans—47 percent—think intelligent alien life exists.

Will Vladimir Putin reveal aliens are here? The ‘real reason’ why Donald Trump won’t do it

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump and his predecessors have not admitted to the world that aliens exist and are HERE on Earth, because it would “breach the US Constitution” and risk the “collapse of the global economy”, it has shockingly been claimed.

Phillip Evans, I think you misread the meaning of all that.

“I’ve got a bigly-er button on my bigly-er desk!”
