I never thought the day when I would be that close to being on the same wave with North Korea's News Service would ever come. Unfortunately it has. It is a scary thing to realise.

Ha! Lunatic Oaf and Braying She-ass.  That about sums Hilary and Trump up I'd say. 


It's a shame really.  All these people in the USA and the only 2 candidates for the president seat they can come up with is the orange faced toupee wearing orangutan and the She-ass.   Surely to God there are more intelligent and saner people there who could have wonthese positions.  It just seems odd in a way the whole circus show it's become.  I mean one of these morons is going to be running the country.  Scary.  It's scary.

I wouldn't put it in those words DPRKNS used but I also do not get how the U.S. ended up having to choose between Trump and Hillary.

Hillary Clinton has a stranglehold on the Democratic Party and effectively intimidated anyone with a real chance of winning from daring to run against her. This is what made the support for Bernie Sanders so amazing. Would Bernie Sanders have been a good President? Absolutely not! So far as I can tell, he's midway on the Asperger's spectrum and absolutely incapable of consensus-building, though I agreed with practically all of his platform points. But he was the only politician brave enough or lunatic enough to take on Hillary.

Trump won because he hosted the reality show The Apprentice for many years, so he was a familiar presence to America's television watchers. I don't know how much people are able to distinguish between "real" life and media representations in a psychological sense -- I mean, yeah, yeah, we make the distinction logically, but the human psyche is a kind of Never-never Land where magical thinking prevails. The media was really captivated by Trump at the beginning; they gave him lots and lots of free publicity. Other Republican candidates for the Presidency had to by ad time -- not Trump! By the time the media realized it had created a Frankenstein monster, it was too late.

Trump kind of reminds me of Silvio Berlusconi.

I am so glad I am Canadian.  I don't say it often but I am.  We may have a pretty boy pot smoking Primeminister currently who loves the media and posturing but he's not a psycho.  I mean we've had worse up on the Hill. 


I fear for the future of America however.

Hillary will win. Of that, I have no doubt whatsoever although the 24/7 news cycle lackeys are fanning the flames to keep us all on the edge of our seats so they can sell more ads.

Hillary's energy policy is significantly better than Trump's, so that's one good thing at least.

As I say, I'm voting third party.

I agree on Hillary's win and media fanning the "very very close" flames. She is going to win I think.

You reminded me, I saw a comment about Trump from someone months ago and it was funny enough that I forwarded it in email, but I lack a source for it now. It was probably on slashdot.org. Here...

Hello America!
I'm Italian, pizza spaghetti & poor english, so don't grammar nazi me, please.
I'll go straight to the point.
Thank you all for Donald Trump, I mean it: thank you from the bottom of my heart.
For two decades, wherever I went, everyone who was not italian that I met around the world asked me a question, and I felt silently ashamed facing that simple question: "Why Berlusconi?".
Everywhere.
Italian? Why Berlusconi?
Even in Argentina, in a small gas station in the middle of nothing in Patagonia, a place without Internet, without sat channels, without newspapers: "Italianos? Berlusconi! Las fiestas con las ninas!".
That was awful.
Now, with Donald Trump you will receive from us the Olympic Torch of political silliness, you will rewrite THAT question, you will set us free, at last. Worldwide.
God bless America.

Ha ha, yes, Italians would finally be off the hook for all those jokes and questions. And Trump even beats Berlusconi when it comes to ridiculous hair. I know a couple of Italians who a very tired to hear "Bunga Bunga!" wherever they go.

There is an old American adage: Politics is show business for ugly people. Politically incorrect! But accurate. :-)

As a person in the USA, I am voting third party. But you would not believe the amount of scorn and derision heaped upon me -- particularly by Hillary Clinton supporters -- for exercising this right.

Oh I believe you, I have observed Hillary's passionate supporters for a while now, they are at least at par with Trump's. There is no respect for anyone's right's there, which echoes Hillary's way of doing things nicely. She is above law, transparency and honesty apparently.

Yes, it actually would be unfair on the she ass. She is not a she ass but she is a horrible candidate.

Better than fucking Trump. All he wants is another notch on his belt for a successful buy out.

I think she wants the same and is as bad as Trump is (which is very bad).

I prefer Canadian politics better as there are less mudslinging.

It is a fake account. Quite wacky, if you read more of its tweets.
See:

https://popehat.com/2014/12/20/the-curious-case-of-the-t-v-attorney-and-twitter/
This may be the actual North Korean account, translated to English. I can't make any sense of it:

Ah, thanks, that makes me feel better.
I would expect their real account to be wacky too.
