    Words losing their meaning since the 2016 campaign has sure made things a lot more confusing than they used to be : /
    Kind of like the fact the entire right wing party are "Nazi's" and fascists now.

    Yep, words do lose their meaning.

    But enough of that part, why is it nonsense?
    Declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying your contractors and employees. If this has to be explained to you why this is "bad", you also have no problem with the concept of stealing.

    WTF? I swear you people just make shit up. Often? I cannot even think of one other time I have ever posted a movie clip or "reference/compare things to movies"

    Since I do it so often - as you claim - you should have no problem going back and reposting all of these "often" times I do it to back up your claim. Otherwise, your comment is complete bullshit.

    Because describing Venezuela as a "text book example of socialism" is about as meaningful as describing Greece as a text-book example of capitalism. It means nothing, it's a pointless statement. It doesn't progress any form of discussion. But statements like Trumps are great for getting his little Trumpkins to cream their pants to such an extent that they think posting it on a forum makes any sort of a point.

    Apart from giving us all an insight into the person posting it, of course.
    When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

    You literally have to be one of the most obtuse people I have ever encountered in my entire life. I don't know why I bother to respond to you, I truly don't. I keep hoping that maybe one day discourse with you will get better, but I am finding that is the definition of insanity - keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

    Oh well, at least I get a good laugh out it.

    Yes and some individuals being incompetent doesn't make the system "bad" as huehuecoyotl states.

    I never said it made the system bad. I never even implied it. You managed to infer it, somehow. You were probably distracted by the whizzing noise as the point flew over your head.

    The point (since I seem to need to spell it out to you) was that the statement is utterly meaningless. A pointless jab at something he probably doesn't understand (but was told was bad). It certainly didn't need to be added to any discussion about anything anywhere, since the only thing it manages to do is prove that the person quoting the Trump understands things just as little as he does.

    Better tell Trump that, that's how he used it frequently as a means to avoid paying others.

    Trump gave North Korea a nice video to play on a loop of him threatening to kill them all. If it wasn't already impossible to counter the brainwashing, it sure as hell is now after they spend the next X number of years repeatedly seeing the president of the US expressing how he's willing to watch them all die. I'm not sure the US has ever had this level of diplomatic incompetence and failure.

    I guess we'll have to completely depend on flash drives with South Korean dramas and music now.

    X number of years? I think your are being overly optimistic. Now, if you had said X number of months, you may have been more accurate. Personally, I would have said weeks.

    BTW - Trump never said what you infer he did.

    100% this plus right after he told North Korea to negotiate and disarm he literally threatened to re neg on the Iran nuke deal. North Korea is probably accelerating their program after that rant and Iran is probably spinning up the reactors right now.

    Yeah I guess I completely misunderstood what "totally destroy North Korea" means.

    This clip is going to be played on a loop for all NK citizens. They will now and forever be convinced that the US wants them to die. This makes it even easier for Kim Jong Un to maintain power.

    Trump did the exact opposite of what he needed to do.

    The best counter to an unpredictable head of state prone to dangerous rhetoric is clearly another unpredictable head of state prone to dangerous rhetoric.

    Well, if that is your opinion than I am even more confident that Trump did exactly the right thing.
