Why is America such a bloodthirsty nation? No more wars!

Why is America such a bloodthirsty nation? No more wars!

America would not intervene in such a war, we would essentially be drawn into it without risking the instability of the region.

You're saying North Korea will launch a unilateral attack?

You're saying North Korea will launch a unilateral attack?

Absolutely, sooner or later. Although this rhetoric has been continuous it's bound to happen.

The rhetoric has always been going on, but I don't see any indication it will be more than rhetoric. North Korea is not so crazy as not to care about self preservation.

They have been conducting nuclear tests and will soon acquire nuclear capability, possibly even enough to strike the United States. However, their primary target would be their southern neighbor. N. Korea conducted military exercises last month and it seems as if they will seek to take advantage of the unstable political situation in the South.

*Trade war.
*Unemployment will go up.
*Federal books will be cooked.
*The US economy starts to stagger.
*Hillary Clinton will not be locked up.
*Tax returns will not be officially released.
*The Trump-cult will get even more willfully ignorant.
*At least one Cabinet member gets told "you're fired".
*Significantly increased assaults on freedom of speech.
*Real but not credible assassination plot is massively over-hyped.
*At least one damaging leak from inside the Pussygrabber Administration.
*Multiple cases of vast over-reach by the executive branch, resulting in lawsuits.
*Multiple vacations, which President Pussygrabber will claim are "working" vacations.
*The Wall becomes a debacle, but the Executive Branch tries hard to pretend otherwise.
*No deliberate entry into an ongoing wars, but at least one large-scale airstrike and/or deployment of Marines.

A fairly straightforward first year.

1. ObamaCare will be repealed but the repeal will be delayed and the subsidies will go on and so will the markets. The Republicans will "promise" to transition the markets onto something friendlier and will keep the exchanges, and a lot of pablum. No, they can't repeal the law functionally. Not without some very seriously insane crap going down.

2. North Korea will be bombed. The Trump Administration will saber rattle but will negotiate with China to not support North Korea in case we intervene. We'll scope out their facilities, and bomb them. They will throw a fit. Nobody will care.

3. The tax cuts for the rich will be enacted as will a large tax cut. This is standard op for every GOP Administration.

4. NAFTA will be renegotiated. Some tinkering, some protectionist crap, but it will be renegotiated and everyone will go home.

5. The Chinese will be in a war of words with us. The United States will be more aggressive in the Pacific Ocean and South Chinese Sea but there will not be an open war or anything more than simmering tensions and increased naval deployments to that area.

6. The budget will see a lot of cuts to services and everything but Social Security and Medicare.  As a note, Ryan Care will not be the law of the land.

Where the tangoing foxtrot is this idea that bombing North Korea is something that President Pussygrabber (or anyone else) can get away with coming from?

The collapse of North Korea would be an epic disaster. A war on the Korean penninsula would quickly lead to megadeaths. Plus WMD technology would scatter to the darker corners of the world in exactly the fashion President Clinton worked so hard to prevent.

It's ever more obvious that the best thing possible for the US and the world would be Trump's replacement by Pence. I hope it happens ASAP.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Kleptocracy.

[Hermit For Peace]

More marches by more piss*d off people.

More lies and exaggerations by Trump about everything, just to make himself look good (he thinks.)

More breaks of all kinds for the rich.

Blatant going against many of his campaign promises...name any of them.

Trump choosing to move his operation to Trump Tower despite all the complications, so he can continue to live in the lap of luxury and be with his wife and son.

Trump makes the WH a reality TV series.

Trump piss*s off most of the rest of the world.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

Trump loses his marbles:

[Crumpets]

- Obamacare is symbolically repealed and replaced with a bill that is at least 80% identical.
- Unemployment rate is pretty much flat
- Violent crime rate goes up modestly
- Another terrorist attack in Europe, which Trump responds to badly and further alienates our allies
- At least one piece of legislation gets through on the coalition of Democrats+Trumpists without mainstream Republican support. Maybe something on spying or infrastructure.
- Trump picks an "outside the box" candidate for SCOTUS, leading to a lot of "huh?s" in the halls of Congress, but still gets approved.
- No new wars, but no draw down in our current foreign engagements.
- Crazy tax reform that meets massive resistance from liberals.

Kleptocracy.

This.  Trump is a conman and he's here to loot the government.

[ag]

the President of the United States will, probably, rape a kitten right in the Oval Office, for which feat he will be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Afterwards, raping kittens will become the best new fashion in the Grand Rapids suburbs.

-The Obamacare repeal becomes a legal fiasco
-The unemployment rate and job growth remain mostly stagnant
-Tax cuts for the wealthy, which fans the flames on the left
-SCOTUS appointment is an uber conservative with questionable qualifications
-The situation in Syria gets worse, and ISIS continues to grow, despite Trump's insistence that he'll "crush" them
-The U.S. cozies up with Russia, straining our relationship with several other countries
-Tensions with China rise substantially
-Trade reform
-The Wall™ gets held up in Congress, due to a few Republicans defecting to block it
-Anger on the left boils over, and a "Green Tea Party" movement starts to form
-Polarization and resentment only get worse

[OneJ]

-Chaos
-Racism
-Misogyny
-Poverty
-Crime, etc.


Seriously though...

-Repealing of ObamaCare
-Deportations
-Tax Cuts (particularly for the rich)

Trump is really unpredictable though. That's why we have to keep our eyes open at all times.

Attempt at a "Business Bill of Rights" that basically lets Big Business do whatever it wants.

Infrastructure bill  that has as a condition the privatization of the Interstate Highway System.

Establishment of an 'Entrepreneur's Week' that commemorates the most rapacious and selfish plutocrats as selfless benefactors. It's a working holiday, and as befits such a holiday it is unpaid.

Attempt to abolish the minimum wage

Of course -- destruction of Medicare, let alone Obamacare.

Creationism and school prayer mandatory in public schools but climate change prohibited as a topic.

Attempts to outlaw abortion and same-sex marriage by legislation. Both denied by the US Supreme Court.

Gangsterism flourishes.

Strikes, demonstrations, and protests as America has not seen in decades.

Approval rating for the President -- 24%.
