anoNY42's JournalDebate: The most troubling part of the word salad...
To me, the most troubling thing Donald Trump vomited out last night was that he wants China to invade North Korea. I believe his words were along the lines of "they should go in" to NK.
I tried to see this from the NK perspective. You would have one of the largest nations in the world invading, little chance to stop them...with conventional weapons. However, you just tested some nuclear bombs lately...
Does anyone imagine that the NK regime would hesitate to protest itself if China was really invading in order to topple them?
Donald Trump actually said he wants China to take actions that would almost guarantee a nuclear exchange.
Apropos of nothing
I was reading the interesting story below about a baseball card contest when I noticed this line:
“Nineteen fifty-seven was such a pure time compared to what we have now,” Mr. Day said.
I had to laugh. This guy sounds like a Trump voter...

Interesting detail on the Tulsa shooting
The below article is from a paper I do not read, but it points out on interest detail: the first cop on the scene did not immediately turn on her car's flashing lights. This is interesting because that would have started her dashcam rolling. She only later turned them on, and the dashcam captured the last part of the incident.
I find it strange that she rolled up on a vehicle in the middle of the road, stopped her car fully in her lane of traffic, and for some reason did not turn on her lights.

Edit: After looking again at the vids and article, perhaps I am wrong and she is claiming she NEVER turned on her lights and dashcam. That would be even stranger, because we can clearly see her flashing lights are on in the dashcam vid from the second police car.
My car broke down last month
An officer pulled up behind me as I waited for the tow truck I had called. I got out and approached him as he was putting on his safety vest and he didn't pull out his gun...didn't even give me any orders. I even went back to my vehicle while he was standing right there and got my cell phone from my front seat. Not a peep about keeping my hands in sight.
Anyway, of course I am a white male (so was the cop). Even so, I was driving a car that is in the middle of a restoration and looks like something a crack addict might own (no paint, mismatched wheels, missing trim). One might have even said I might "be on something" driving a car like that...
