Well, this escalated quickly. Who had Donald Trump threatening to totally destroy North Korea in the "what will he say to the UN" pool?

Tough talk on Noko isn't totally shocking (see HELL YES: General Mattis Releases Chilling Statement for North Korea. And it’s AWESOME! and Governor of Guam: Hey, I Support Trump’s North Korean ‘Fire and Fury’ Statement!). But you still just won fifty bucks.

The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. 'Rocket Man' is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. The United States is ready, willing, and able. But hopefully, this will not be necessary. That's what the United Nations is all about. That's what the United Nations is for. Let's see how they do.

Before we go any further, take a knee MSM. We agree Trump calling Kim Jong Un "Rocket Man" is childish. Funny, yes. Childish? Also yes. Two things can be true at once, take slow breaths. But no, before you ask, we don't need to get Sir Elton John to weigh in on it.

Not that I'm not a yuge fan. "Mona Lisas and Manhatters" is my jam.

But who else suspects Elton's hit may make a resurgence? Sorry, distracted.

Shatner? Maybe.

Damn it, I keep getting distracted with the singles.

Though I do think it's gonna be a long, long time before things actually get to this point with North Korea, Trump has made where he's still standing on the Norks. If Little Kim Jong wants to fire on the USA, Trump will be left with no choice but to introduce Kim Jong to the Circle of Life.

Poor Little Kim. Seems to me, he's lived his life like a candle in the wind. Never knowing who to cling to, when the ICBMs rain in...
