"So tell us how you really feel, President Trump." What I get from his message is that he didn't pull any punches. He wasn't putting on a show or finessing a message. He wasn't playing to his base. He was just telling it the way he see things. Those diplomats are more used to nuanced language delineated by incremental degrees of feelings. Trump wasn't giving them any of that BS. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I noticed that CNN called Trump's positions a "step back into a bygone era." This was exactly what Venezuela's UN representative said following the speech. CNN and the murderous regime in Venezuela are precisely on the same page. _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum.

Was out to dinner with 8 members of my team from California. Ironically all but one are actually pretty conservative. The one exception made the comment that Trump came across as lecturing the UN. Without even thinking I said "about time someone lectured them ". I'm done trying to get along with that ilk. | |||

The UN is for helping NoOneCaresIstan make fair deals with EquallyUnimportantNesia, and how to get clean water to places where people still click to talk. We allow them here and participate as a courtesy and to keep our thumb on everyone, not the other way'round I'm sure that sucks to hear for some, but it doesn't change a thing. What so and so in a flowy robe from some place a few or more thousand miles away thinks about what we're doing over here might mean *something*, I guess, but nowhere near as much as they wish. | |||

I agree. I used to believe that we could put politics aside and just be friends and enjoy the things that we have in common. Not anymore. This leftist/socialist/communist/progressive bullshit is no longer amusing. If you're one of those clowns then I'll just quit communicating with you. It's either that or having a loud argument and each of us telling the other to fuck off -- which I would prefer to avoid.

I was able to watch most of the UN-Trump speech. What I heard/saw him say live, vs what the slathering jowls tried to tell me he said the rest of the day, demonstrates exactly why Trump has such support regardless of what the interpretation tries to feed the rest of us. **************~~~~~~~~~~ "I've been on this rock too long to bother with these liars any more." ~SIGforum advisor~ "When the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change, then change will come."~~sigmonkey | |||

Not what i expected. He went down the list and called everyone out. It was funny watching each ambassador react when their turn came up. I'm not usually one that watches UN meetings, I'm guessing this is not par for the course? Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I am looking forward to the retort from our domestic gaggle of pathetic God Damned Commies, a la Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, that Ellison fool and the rest of their ilk, to inform us that President Trump is wrong and their ideas for socialist utopian paradise is just what the USA needs. President Trump delivered a very well aimed warning shot across their bow as well! They'll have to defend the misery that socialism is guaranteed to deliver. __________ __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy." | |||

 In his speech at the United Nations on Tuesday, President Donald Trump ruffled the feathers of many world leaders when he attacked socialism as a “failed ideology.” “The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented,” Trump said. Trump paused for a moment for applause — an applause that didn’t come as world leaders were not amused that he attacked the fundamentally flawed ideology that many of them are actively trying to implement in their own countries. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||
