My guess is that Green thinks the president wasting time talking about the NFL, demanding that people not exercise their right to free speech so that they may respect a flag that presumably is a symbol for things like free speech, isn't behavior that should be tolerated.

Congress can just make up something.
The president does not have to break any laws be impeached.

Let's use an example: if the president showed up to every cabinet meeting completely drunk, congress could reasonably say this is not presidential behavior then move to impeach him. It's not illegal, to the best of my knowledge, for the president to do this. But it's definitely not good.

We've had these types of threads on these forums since the forums were created, heck there were MANY music artists in the 1980's with videos and songs about Reagan starting WW3 for standing up to the USSR.

In short, you're getting played. Hopefully you learn from this and aren't as easily manipulated in the future.
mmm... this isn't normal.

That's not to say it's Cold War level, but the current state of "diplomacy" is far from normal. Kim talking crazy is par for the course. The president doing it back is exceptional. Will it escalate? Presumably no, but it's significantly more likely to escalate with someone like Trump that it would be with someone like Obama or Bush.

It's us not them.

"In fact, the US laughed off a perfectly sensible offer made by the Russians and Chinese, with the agreement of the North Koreans, for a “double freeze†– the North Koreans would suspend missile launches if the USA and South Korea suspend military exercises aimed at the overthrow of the North Korean government."

But, but, Al Green sings "Let's Stay Together." He got uglier, too.

Al Green goes to my church and gives passionate, sincere speeches about military members and vets.

My church does a lot for vets, and he is a big supporter of that, more passionate than the president, Captain Bonespurs, would ever be.

Hahaha.. I had seen this guy on a news program some time ago, so I knew, thinking of that at the time..it can confuse some if not seeing him.

In the meantime, we can just sing the Reverend's songs... (have always loved his music).
