This is the 5th missile test that supposedly has contravened a UN resolution that Iran not use or test ballistic missiles that can possibly carry a nuclear payload. The UN hasn't really done anything.
So are we looking at a Trio of Evil?
The UN never does anything. It's pretty much castrated.
I thought this would be a good place to put this video. I really like listening to Dave Rubin, as he seems to take the emotion and rhetoric out of hugely polarizing issues when he discusses them. This one is on the 'Muslim Ban':

Yeah why the expletives? Did I miss something? I read that and it sounds like... well, like Donald Trump.

That for his Black History Month speech, he used more words praising Omarossa than he did on MLK, Frederick Douglas (who he seems to think is still alive), Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks combined? I think even by Trump standards that's pretty ####ed up.

That's a speech? I thought it was just him talking to the people who were in the room with him.

Sorry, where is he suggesting that? His "speeches" are bad enough without adding anything.
You seem to be the last astounded man that Trump is, in fact, a rambling, incoherent disaster.
I've been consistently saying he's had dementia for over a year now, so not really. And he refers to Douglass in the present tense several times. Let's not kid ourselves, he has no idea who Frederick Douglass is.

I like how he bashed the unfair media, CNN, in his speech about black history month.
I wonder why he didn't mention his father who wouldn't rent to blacks?

I think it's a waste of time to discuss basically anything trump or his administration say at this point.
I'm pretty sure this is what he's going for, though, and it's absolutely astounding how quickly he's managed to exhaust everyone's capacity for incredulity. I posted this article before but I'm not sure anyone actually noticed, and they should because it's one of the best things I've read since Trump was sworn in. This part is particularly important:
A would-be kleptocrat is actually better served by spreading cynicism than by deceiving followers with false beliefs: Believers can be disillusioned; people who expect to hear only lies can hardly complain when a lie is exposed. The inculcation of cynicism breaks down the distinction between those forms of media that try their imperfect best to report the truth, and those that purvey falsehoods for reasons of profit or ideology.

No he doesn't. He's saying the past work was amazing (great word) and that he's noticed it's being recognized more and more in the present.
The unbolded I can agree with. But if you've been saying this for the last year then how is any of this stuff still surprising you to the level that it appears it does.
