You almost don't wan't to know this is happening

...knowing who we have in charge of keeping the worst scenario at bay.

Just, no one say a word about this and maybe Trump will keep his yap shut. Maybe someone will just make the necessary moves to put a lid on this without idiot twitter-trigger Trump involved.

No, we're just fucked. We can't keep this up for four goddamn years...

I'm sorry, I was just lost in a momentary trip into the twilight zone...here's the tweet, god help us all:

I thought they're all starving except for the politically anointed?

I know they threaten but can they carry out their threats?

Should I pack a go bag now?

...is panic and lash out at their neighbor, triggering a certain response, likely military, from SK or us.

It's us I'd be most concerned with, but still, NK is so isolated, it's a given they're even more paranoid than we are about the state of our government right now.

Who knows HOW this administration will respond to NK's psychotic ramblings? All we know so far is that EVERYTHING they touch turns into an explosive pile of bullshit.

Living right on the edge of the eastern coastline - literally blocks from the edge of America's shoreline, I always worry that the nukes are aimed here.

Exhaling, but just a bit...still I don't see how we go four years at this level of ramped up rhetoric without making one of the crazier despots out there lash out with tragic consequences. Our own despot included.

Day 15 is it?
