Re: North Korea
Yet there seems to be a movement to nominate Drumpf for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Re: North Korea
Well if you buy into Trump's tweets, "everyone" is pushing for it.

Even THIS wouldn't be as bad as that...

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I examined the photo very closely that RayThom posted and I suspect it might be Photoshopped. I am always very critical of what others expect me accept based on face value.

jim--is that Jimmy Carter on the end--I must say I'm surprised.
Re: North Korea
Sorry LJ; a 2016 poll showed a majority of Americans would like to see another President Roosevelt added to Mt. Rushmore.

If there had to be an addition made and the only other choice to pick from was Il Boobce, I would prefer Carter...Big RR wrote:jim--is that Jimmy Carter on the end--I must say I'm surprised.
But then, given that type of choice I'd also prefer Mr. Potato Head, so it's not saying much...
Re: North Korea
Personally, I would leave it as it is; I cannot think of a president in my lifetime deserving of such a tribute (then again, I'm not sure which of those 4 were deserving IMHO) and FDR would scream nepotism. Maybe we could have the unknown president with bag over his (or her) head and future generations could pretend that their president was represented there.
Re: North Korea
If Trump did officially end the Korean War, bring peace to that land and remove the American troops what should the response be, Nobel Prize?
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.
Re: North Korea
Dennis Rodman has been negotiating this for years. He is the one who should get the Nobel Prize.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I feel most of the world sees Lord Dampnut as being beyond redemption.
I doubt if there are any good works he could perform at this point that would put him in a better light. A Nobel Prize would be unfathomable to me.
Besides, after November I feel strongly his days are numbered. I predict he will not last as PINO for a full term.

Re: North Korea
I don't think it was ever really about Presidents deserving of such memorial - just more shitting on Indians, I suspect. The original concept was to honor Western historical figures, including Custer (ha!), Lewis & Clark, and Chief Red Cloud.Big RR wrote:Personally, I would leave it as it is; I cannot think of a president in my lifetime deserving of such a tribute (then again, I'm not sure which of those 4 were deserving IMHO) and FDR would scream nepotism.

This is what it should look like, given it is on sacred Indian land.

No one is getting put on that thing. The carving was abandoned due to the rock being unstable. Any further modification may result in the loss of all of it.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Re: North Korea
Fortunately, the let's do it because we can "blow it up" mentality is mostly a thing of the past. Decades ago the Army Corps of Engineers wanted to blow up this iconic pillar and use the rock to build a jetty on the coast (yeah, wtf!):
