Trump is a serial monogamist going after a philanderer because he can't match Bill Clinton's wife face to face. He is a corrupt and compulsive sloppy liar, a bully, hypocrite, fear-mongering coward whose greatest achievement is to make Dubya look better by comparison.

tie their shoes together while they are playing candy crush, then let off a firecracker behind them

It's ok Donny. You just keep doing it like like you do. (says every Democrat ever)

what is the point of indulgence if its healthy?

In the last war PRC was with VN against US .... now it will would be US & VN against PRC, along with Japan riding to the relief of the Philippines. What a political black comedy.

thanks for the memories

If Tyrion dies, we riot!

For Trump, I suggest something by Wagner, or more recent ditties like the Horst Wessel Lied, or Wir Farhen Gegen England?

If memory serves, Hercules started burning the stumps, & that did the job. I shudder to think what our equivalent might be.

I don't like mayonnaise anyway, no matter how it's packaged.

Stand firm ya big twisted orange freak! Don't check yaself! Just wreck yaself! Then the GOP can be done with you & rebuild .

It was a pragmatic choice. I can see it.

For me it's simple. Let Japan & the other Axis nations own their own actions that led to the creation & use of this horrible weapon..... FIRST. Then we can talk.

As I understand it, even after the bombs had dropped, & the Emperor made his surrender recording, there was an attempt to destroy the record, capture the Emperor, & continue the war. This would have resulted in an invasion & the annihilation of Japan. Odds are, tactical nukes, gas & CBW would been employed, based on the ferocity of the fight Japan made elsewhere. But there were enough sane men left in Japan to protect the surrender process, The bombs were horrible weapons, but they helped avoid far worse, & saved what was left of the country. War is so often about horrible choices. This time it was a choice between horrible & terrible beyond measure means to end a war begun by the fascist powers.

Nissan learned nothing from Volkswagen

Good for you guys. Change is life!!

Abe Lincoln? Well, if that don't beat all. I wish I could see how it all turns out. I bet in the next world, he's smiling at this.

oh the ironic fragility of bullies

Well, he would learn that being POTUS is somewhat like being the King on a chessboard. Both powerful & impotent at the same time. After all, the other two branches of government can be quite jealous of their pieces of the pie.

Maybe Zamperini's captors were unable to forgive themselves? Letting someone off the hook is often easier than doing as much for yourselves.

shouldn't the charge be "attempted murder?"

I'm glad Disney did this thing.

This is a gracious act & much appreciated.

Meiyouwenti --- There was an effort to take Japanese prisoners at first But their unfortunate habit of suicide outright, or waiting to take at least one American with them, tended to discourage the practice. Then too, finding American & other Allied soldiers tortured to death was a poor way to encourage the taking of Japanese prisoners. Now from time to time, Japanese soldiers did surrender, a few at first, but more towards the end. They were treated properly for the most part, though I imagine that, as in "Letters from Iwo Jima," attempts to give up were met with a bullet but I refer you to the above Japanese practice of false surrender. It was a hard & bitter war but Japan made it far harder than it had to be.

I'm glad for these men at least, their war is finally over

more clever than smart, cause they got CAUGHT!

you forgot fassbender

I don't think the Donald is angry. I think he's an arrogant, rude bully who is having fun pandering to people's frustrations or enraging others. Of course, after the last GOP debate, he might not be having quite as much fun as he'd like, since the other kids on the playground all got together & pushed back. Bullies hate when that happens. It hurts their feelings.

"It's just business," as they kept saying through the Godfather movies. Or as Tony "Scarface" Montana might have put it, "Don't get high on your own supply."

The Germans have manned up & taken ownership of their mistakes. Japan has not. It's a damn shame & a stain on the character of this otherwise extraordinary ancient culture.
