My very amateur prediction for 2020 is that Trump is going to maintain most, if not all of his voters, he'll get 62ish million votes again (I'm basing this off their fairly high voter turnout in the mid terms, which was overshadowed by democrats insane turnout), it will come down to how effectively republicans can suppress votes in the key swing states.
But again, the mid terms were very promising and give good reason for optimism.

The reason North Korea has nuclear weapons is the same reason they won't use them: self-preservation.
The danger comes if the government was ever deposed. Then who knows where those weapons would end up.
Trump is far more dangerous in this regard.
There are ways it could bolster support of the current administration.
It just seems really unlikely (though I think it's even more unlikely there would be a war at all—if it's not in Putin's interests, it's not going to happen).

What do you mean by "finally"? That's exactly what most of tweets have been like for years now.
Fairly old. But moments like that make me genuinely love my city.
Is it just me, or is that interview camera/angle really weird? There was some strange shadows going on in the background that made the shot feel weird.
How did he get a hold of the sign? I need more backstory.
Also if Swamp man Joe catches on, Biden should just wear this for Halloween...
I mean, good. This is why Never Trumpers are awful. These are the people who got us into the Iraq War.
Never Trumpers are almost exactly the same as Trumpers. The only difference is they don't like how Trump says the quiet parts out loud.
Can someone explain this he-tries-to-make-it-sound-dramatic-but-it-sounds-like-no-big-deal-at-all Sanders foreign policy thing lately? Like, opposing hostile foreign overthrowings and needless wars isn't a particularly bold stance. It fits into the common sense category, unless he was somehow the only person in the field making a specific statement. The bit about fighting to oppose government takeovers while a small town mayor was exceptionally weird.
It's pretty much in response to a.) the 80s videos showing him in the USSR b.) that interviewer who kept trying to get him to apologize for being at a Sandinista rally. Bernie's playing up that he's been right all along about American foreign policy and he won't bow to pressure.
Everyone should continue to tell Bill Kristol to fuck off.
Charlatan who is trying to play himself off as a liberal thought-leader because Trump was a dick to the Bush and McCain family.
Neocon to the end.
A Swampman costume + a Bidan mask would be a good Halloween costume.Is it just me, or is that interview camera/angle really weird? There was some strange shadows going on in the background that made the shot feel weird.

No we don't. Bill Kristol is a conservative scumbag.
Bernie Sanders opposed violent coups in Chile, Vietnam, and Iraq.
It is 100% not a mainstream political view in the United States power circles.
Clinton and Biden supported for the Iraq War. Opposition to the Vietnam War was a fringe cause up until the draft and even then opposition to the war was a leftist protest out of step with the silent majority. It was a bi-partisan scar on this country. And the coup in Chile which Bernie is being grouped in with the opposition and supporters of Allende was a national disgrace which was not scorned in this country outside of folk musicians and underground anti-war activists like Jerry Rubin and Phil Ochs.
Sanders has a long history of being in staunch opposition to war even when everyone else disagreed; he is now using the evidence of his foresight to tell people that they should listen to him this time.
Would it surprise you if I told you he was playing golf?
And his biggest competitor, Joe Biden, supported the Iraq War.
Edit:
Hell, his reasoning is exactly the same as the crazy conservatives that want Authoritarianism. Remember, Conservatives believe that they're right, just as you do. If you come to the same Authoritarian conclusions as Right-Wingers, you're the same as them.; you just have a different set of cultural norms. Otherwise, it's all the same though process. I wonder if this guy is a troll?
Bernard is still terrible though. Obviously not as much of a piece of shit as Woke Bill Kristol though.
It's because they legitimately don't care and are lazy at best, or at worst kinda like it. It's just weak, off-the-hip, rationalization so they don't have to say or think: "I really don't care."
Iirc on a recent podcast, he said the execution was bad but didn't regret going into it.
It's not good to stan for murderous dictatorships, Bolshevik or not. That said, his lack of apologies for opposing unjust American wars is definitely appealing to me right now. We need a radical rethink of our foreign policy to stop catering almost exclusively to the wealthy and powerful outside of a few things (like nuclear non-proliferation and humanitarian interventions).
He was in the USSR on a diplomatic trip, it's not like he came back wearing a Stalin shirt.
What did this say? It's been deleted.
I also don't understand who would think it would be a good idea to try to rally the public around Kim Jong Un, a totalitarian despot, over a mainstream American politician. And this is literally as Kim is violating UN security resolutions on missile tests not to mention all the heinous actions he's committed. I'm curious if GOP Senators will fall in line with this Trumpian attack as well.
Kim Jung Un loves his people unlike CreepyJoe who left Pennsylvania.
