Vox: How the US failed to rebuild Afghanistan has been added as a related post - related requested by notarobot on that post.

That is the crazy part, isn't it? Why bother rebuilding it if you aren't going to fix it?

China holds the economic keys and put the most pressure on the N Korea. This should be Plan A, B, C D.

We don't need to be preemptive on N. Korea.
However if they launch an attack It would be logical to fight back.

How much to retaliate depends where they attack first.
If they go for Soul S Korea with12 Million people It would be logical to whip the shit out of the North leaders and army. Then let an UN govern the area until the area is re established

They hit Guam -- Same. but no invasion of UN or any other group.


This is a hornets nest and once poked it would be decades before peace peace is settle.

China will not allow Americans occupy N. Korea.
S Korea does not have the finance to "settle/ rebuild/ stabilize" an new government in the north.

China does not want a flood of hungry starving immigrants.

American don't need another money pit to fund.

Lets see ....grass roots movement or TYT making you believe it is a grass roots movement.

We have a " fan" who sent in this video and I love it... It is his own organization.


The Justice Democrats are a political action committee[1] founded on January 23, 2017, by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks,

Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk, and

former leadership from the 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign.

Its stated goal of reforming the Democratic Party by running "a unified campaign to replace every corporate-backed member of Congress and rebuild the [Democratic] party from scratch" starting in the 2018 Congressional midterm elections.[2][3]

The Justice Democrats have been described as attempting to create a left-wing populist movement analogous to the right-wing Tea Party movement.[4]

I'm pretty much over the rivalry now too, but I sure do remember how much I hated those dirty Avs back then.
8 of the 9 years from 95 to 2003, the Cup winner was Detroit, Colorado, or Jersey. It also seemed like whoever won the Wings / Avs series in the playoffs was going to go on to win the Cup. Man that was a crazy rivalry.
Good luck to your Team on the rebuild too. I have a buddy who is an Avs fan and some of their moves in recent years have seemed puzzling to me like getting rid of Statsny and Reilly.

It almost pained me to sift it, because I'm an Avs fan and the old rivalry is still there for me a little bit.

But this transcended my bias on that pretty easily. Young kid, hero in his first NHL callup, Russian connection like so many of your team's greats (Fedorov and the all-Russian line were killer back in the peak days of Wings/Avs rivalry), happening in one of the final days at the Joe, plus this weird statistical quirk added in -- enough to make me jump up and be a Wings fan when I saw it!

Here's hoping that both of our teams pull off rebuilds ASAP and stop being cellar-dwellers. Young kids like this are probably key to that!

*quality I loved this rebuild. It made me feel old.

Awesome. To me, only slightly reading between the lines, it sounds like he is suggesting exactly what I feel is the right track here.

Let Trump do whatever it is that he is going to do. If individual elements / components of his policy suggestions are good, help him with them. And if/when he suggests dangerous, counterproductive or bigoted things, call him out, dig in your heels, and do everything you can to raise awareness and stop him.

Let Trump dig his own grave trying to fulfill all of his contradictory promises to a large angry mob.

But in the meantime, don't obstruct good things simply because they came from the "wrong side". That has been the Republican modus operandi -- show the people there is a better way. Trump talked about rebuilding infrastructure in his victory speech. FDR's "New Deal" did a lot of that with the Tennessee Valley Authority and other projects. That created a LOT of jobs and helped pull the US out of the great depression. Any infrastructure / public works stuff that Trump pushes for that would actually have positive results while creating jobs? Sign off on that shit!

Trump's Wall could be a fulcrum point. Pointless and somewhat offensive in premise, but some good could come from trying to build it or even actually succeeding (which I find highly unlikely). I think the appropriate response to Trump's Wall for Democrat legislators would be to vocally point out that tax money would probably be better spent elsewhere, but otherwise playing along to a certain extent. That wall is going to be a big millstone around Trump's neck -- no need to work overly hard to help him try to wriggle out of it.

I cannot possibly imagine how hard it is for him to rebuild his body at his age. I am stoked to see him do so, but knowing what time does to humans, along with our perception of self....

Edit- It's funny to see videos like this and juxtapose them with modern perception. How we're still fawning over this guy at his age and his shape, and that's not to disrespect him in the least. Just for a moment, though, I considered seeing a similar, motivational-video of a 60 year old woman doing her best to regain her socially-ingrained perception of sexual-value, and, just... ugh.

At that point, I'd rather just see a tired, old Arnold, looking his age, and raising his hand in victory and self-appreciation for who he is today.

On this topic, we just agreed to give Israel $4 billion more in military aid while our own infrastructure gets nothing. I often think that if we spent 1/10 what we give Israel for war on rebuilding Palestine, we might end the conflict in under a year by making Palestine liveable.

That makes me happy. Lovely to see such skilled people working on a cultural milestone.

Although I'm not sure at what point a "restoration" becomes a rebuild....

I am TOTALLY hunting down this guy when the zombies come. I'll protect him as he's our only hope to rebuild!

*quality rebuilds. I love the look of the 3rd car that they barely mentioned.

And a moronic lying blowhard being president accomplishes this....how?
I think it would really galvanize PC people and they would up their game exponentially, with Trump and his supporters being used as the poster child(ren) for why they need to be more vocal and less tolerant of disrespectful insulting xenophobic idiots.

For anyone who votes for Trump to 'destroy the broken system so we can rebuild it'....please tell me when this has EVER worked in history, and not just made things horribly worse.

Why didn't he use it to 'stitch' the wound closed afterwards, like they did in Apocalypto? ;-)
We had these in Texas. Somehow, even with years of blowing up the entrance to the nest with fireworks, I never was bitten as a kid. Lucky me.
Before @ant gets too upset, they used the firework paper to rebuild the nest every time, so it wasn't as bad as it sounds.
