If lil KIm is semi sane, then he thinks that he can get food aid delivered by China on their trains and then steal the trains and suffer no repercussions because of......?

Still doesn't compute, sounds more like a rope-a-dope by China, pretending to have their trains stolen so as to become yet another victim of the brazen Lil' wacked out Kim.

One of two things are for sure, Kim is a wack job and has gone over the top this time or kim and china are in the train thing together.
But then again who really knows?

You have to have worked in Law enforcement or Medicine to know the real Tin Foil crowd. They will tell the Police Officer that shows up to investigate their 911 call( about someone in the House or Apartment that is not allowed or a stranger) and there is nobody there, and never was. They describe very vividly,are very upset and there is nobody there. Some just hear voices and cannot find where they are coming from. You always have to respond to the call because the one time you don't respond, that will be when there is actually a Burglar or Home invader. Freepers say it "tongue in Cheek" about themselves.

#228, great way of putting it makes it perfectly clear.

[Phsstpok]

The man who owned the company that makes Grecian Formula was a long time family friend. At one cocktail party my Dad went over to him because he was concerned that a new competitor, Just For Men, had been introduced on the market and wanted to find out what he planned to do. His response was "Charlie, I own that one, too."

It must be nice to be a conglomerate!

[samantha]

#234,great point....

[rodguy911]

thanks again samantha.

[samantha]

#236, I wonder if he is that tone deaf?

[Txsleuth]

My son's boss and partner is from Italy..his family still lives there (except wife and kids)...

SOOOOOOOO..we are rooting big time for Italy today.

[samantha]

#244, Wow take no prisoners. I hope George Will retires and sets up a permanent Box seat behind home plate 24-7 365,rain or shine.

[rodguy911]

Exactly, it would not be out of the realm for the Chinese to try and do us in economically. We are the only world power that stands in their way of world conquest.

Ugh... get a gander at those... 'brows.

You have to have worked in Law enforcement or Medicine to know the real Tin Foil crowd.

I drove ambulances in and around NY City in the late 60s and early 70s.

And yes, your description is spot on.

I have a comment that I still use when someone is out of control: "500  CCs of thorazine ought to be about right."  I said that about my kids more than once as they were growing up! (no, we never actually did that!)

I also occassionally post "put the mouse down, step away from the keyboard and keep your hands where I can see them" to trolls and the like. 

And there are definitely times I miss having the Posey restraints handy <g>

Say Rod; was there not a big todo about a year ago over a NK train either on the way to or from China that exploded? and was hushed up could it have been rocket parts

[samantha]

Thanks kids, lets keep this thread rocking....

[Txsleuth]

I may be wrong....but I seem to remember a tie between Mad Maddie's firm and the Dubai Ports Deal..

Does that ring a bell with anyone??

[MNJohnnie]

He thinks they want to disable our radar in preparation

Curious if any of these tin foil hat types realize what they are talking about would be an act of war? One think no nation state can do is take out another nations radar and/or satellites. That is just a no go action all the way around.

The immediate response from the US would be nuclear response since the logical assumption is blinding our eyes would be the 1st step in a surprise nuke strike.

Playing this sort of game sound great in movie scripts, it does happen in real life. It ultra high risk strategy.

[Phsstpok]

an imminent attack by China on Taiwan is the only scenario I can come up with that tracks with how this situation is boiling over. If China is still in control then they're setting up a shooting war in a matter of weeks or months. Either that or they've miscalculated about our reaction to a test of their ability to do such a thing.

[Txsleuth]

I like the way Mo1 puts it, re: Dem responses, "they always overplay things"...or close to that (apologies Mo1 if I got it wrong)

[MNJohnnie]

I find it interesting that our side spends more time "Fact checking" numbers on our side then disputing the absurd numbers and factoids of the Political Left. They Left can go out and say anything because they know OUR side will sit on their buttes and hem and haw but not actively attack them.

Be nice if "our side" was as eager to actually attack the Dems as they are to jump on each other.

[samantha]

#250, yikes that is enough to make you lose your lunch. What in the Hell did Phil Gramm's Mama tell him now telepathically? It sure does not sound like it came from him,although when you meet him in Person and talk to him he is a lot less Conservative than he appears on the Media.
