DNC Deputy Chair: Kim Jong-un Is Acting More Responsibly Than President Trump

Well, this is just insane. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, said unhinged dictator Kim Jong-un is acting more responsibly than President Trump. The remarks were made at the progressive Netroots Nation in Atlanta [emphasis mine]:

0:03 / 0:46 DNC’s Keith Ellison Says President Trump Worse Than Murderous North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un>

North Korea is a serious thing. You have this guy making bellicose threats against somebody else who has very little to lose over there. Kim Jong Un, the world always thought he was not a responsible leader. Well, he is acting more responsibly than this guy is. And but I’m telling you is that once you start seeing missile launches, you’re going to see the time for cranking up the antiwar machine is right now. So, if you don’t want to get caught deer in the headlights, start calling for diplomacy in North Korea immediately.”

Leah wrote earlier todaythat Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said we should just give what the North Koreans are demanding. Let’s not replay that movie starring Neville Chamberlain. Well, if you want a reason for why Republicans are more trusted on national security and foreign affairs, this is it. 

Right now, Guam is said to be a target of the North Korean dictator. And even that has elicited weird takes from the media, like the Associated Press, who tweeted last night, “If North Korea sent missiles toward Guam or the US, could the US missile defense system shoot them down? Should it?”

Should it? Guam is American soil. It has two huge naval and air force bases on the island. Should we defend American soil? That’s another absurd angle to this whole story.

North Korea has possessed nuclear weapons for years. The increased tension in the pacific theater is not Trump's fault. Both parties have dropped the ball on this, especially under the Obama administration. It's sad that some Democrats are using nuclear war as a means to tear down the president.

If North Korea sent missiles toward Guam or the US, could the US missile defense system shoot them down? Should it? https://t.co/E3tsrqNj8M?— The Associated Press (@AP) August 11, 2017

Democrats are the domestic enemy of Americans, capitalism and freedom. Capitalism is private ownership of a business or a home(assets).

Democrats want to take away our right own a house , start a businesses to make a living, and to be financially independent.

Democrats want socialism which is for the government to own businesses , property , everything. They trust the government to do the right thing.

But that's ridiculous. What results in socialism is what happened in North Korea and Venezuela, starving people , where all of the people are slaves.

So you have governments (kim jong un) that don't care if their own people are starving but want to nuke other people other countries living in Peace. And in socialism even if these dictators were saints and wanted to help people they couldn't because socialism/government can never work and can never produce products efficiently.

Sorry, this cannot exist. Any rational democrat voter would not be a democrat.

The left will befriend any enemy of America as its ally. The pretense of caring about and defending America is gone.

this is a perfect example of how sick the Democrat Party really is and just how much they actually hate the USA.

“”You have this guy making bellicose threats against somebody else who has very little to lose over there””

Very little to lose with how many millions of people in that area? South Koreans plus North Koreans plus our military hardly is a description of “very little to lose”.

Can their missiles reach MN?

Translation - It’s irresponsible for Kim to threaten an attack on our country. But it’s even more irresponsible for Trump to try to stop it. This sh*t for brains Ellison is epicly stupid.

Well, it is not surprising that the Dem party has sided with the despot and tyrant. He has re-distributed the country's wealth so that the majority of his citizens are starving and in servitude to him. The dems admire this strategery.

“Mad Albright said that she feared the US as the world’s lone superpower. Arming Nor’K was a conscious decision.”

Ah, yes, Mad Maddie Alldumb, the Mad Bomber of Kosovo.

Now that I’m entering my final years, I find my resentment of that bunch of evil coprophages has grown even sharper.

They polluted decades of my life, and my country will still be dealing with the consequences as I make my exit.

A plague upon them and their progeny to the thousandth generation.
