[drron]

And exactly which President has had a successful policy on North Korea?

And exactly which President has had a successful policy on North Korea?

In retrospect .... every other one!

If Donald Trump's greatest achievement thus far is not entering a nuclear war with North Korea (yet), then this is yet another lowest point reached in the performance of POTUS.

Well I am gobsmacked.
Who said anything about benchmarks?
A statement was made about George W which was wrong so I posted the facts which showed that.
And if you think W.Clinton is a better person than George W you have not read enough.
Did you read the quote from Bob Geldof?
In Africa when you speak to people in health care there is no doubt that there George W did much better than Clinton who is mostly remembered for forcing useless Ranbaxy drugs for AIDs onto Africa when they had been proven useless by the WHO.

Sorry if I don't take the bait... there seems some people are way too slippery for constructive discussions... you need to first establish what it is you are discussing: achievement of people versus each other other OR how much one person have actually achieved and using what metrics? I do not see any point continuing this discussion as I can see it descending rapidly into name calling and I end up being a snowflake etc. So, yep, I'm done here. Cheers!

So Trump was told to use special glasses to look at the total eclipse of the Sun, so what did Trump do?

Looking at the sun is perfectly safe when the sun is covered by the moon.

Good luck with that!

Yes he's obviously in shadow, it's just his inner glow that's shining on his face. Particularly since there was not a complete eclipse at the White House. But don't let alt-facts get in the way.

Maybe he saw the light and will...

Ps: according to the left wingers at the ABC, only 8% of the sun was obscured in Washington.

Yet President Trump, despite these baseless allegations of 'laziness', has achieved more positive things for America in 8 months than Obama did in 8 years.

Say what? What's that line about people in glass houses?

Never been inside a glass house, so whatever analogy you're attempting to draw is woefully misplaced.

Would you care to elaborate and list them please?

I/we are still waiting for an answer.

Interesting that the experts don't agree. In any case, as reported, Washington was not actually in the path of the full eclipse.

Odds of Trump impeachment greater then 50% now. Tick tock.

Trump impeachment odds, and the odds of him quitting, are higher than ever. At least according to an Irish bookie, who reports that large amounts of money are being spent on betting that Trump's term will be artificially shortened.
The amazingly named bookie, Paddy Power, says that the amount of money put down on Trump quitting has turned odds into evens, or a 50% probability. The odds of Trump being impeached are 4/6, or 60%.

Given this is America would have thought the odds he would be shot are greater than being impeached. Not that I'm advocating this, would far rather he gets impeached, but based on US history there have been more assassinations than impeachments I believe.

Well Congress and the House versus one bullet...

Amendment 25 is the easiest way to depose Trump.

I just watched the rally in Phoenix. Most unhinged rant since the boy scout rally.

Man, he just stopped looking at the teleprompter at one point and went on something like a 15 minute rant about how unfairly he was treated by the media for his (at best) tone deaf response to Charlottesville. And the crowd just lapped it up, cheering and jumping around like sheep.

America's a weird place, that's for sure

Yeah. Meanwhile in Australia...

His base have all the guns.

Wasn't much of a crowd. Couple hundred people in an empty conference hall.

 

[get me outta here]

"The Phoenix rally was Trump's eighth such event since taking office in January. The events are organised by his 2020 re-election campaign, which carefully screens attendees." (From 'Agencies' SMH today)

So, apparently they couldn't find too many people to attend.
