I've done that and I almost don't have any hair.

I went blonde once.
I did have more fun, but all 15 murder attempts failed really badly, I had three car accidents, I saved a patient, and couldn’t work out which was left and which was right!
Worst two hours of my life.

Now the dick in chief is engaged in a dick waving contest with Iran. Brilliant. Negotiate with the country that you can't prevent acquiring nuclear weapons, and antagonize the country that you do have a chance of preventing obtaining nuclear weapons. There need to be intelligence standards for presidential candidates. If there had been, then Trump would have never been elected.

How about going a bit further? All presidential candidates, in addition to the intelligence standard you mention, should be required to:
1. Pass a top secret (or whatever is above 'top secret') security background check.
2. Show a minimum of 20 years of tax returns.
3. Pass a psychological evaluation screening.
4. Pass a competency test regarding basic knowledge of government operations.
Is there anything unreasonable about ANY of this?

Too bad both those cartoons are distortions of reality but they do reflect Trumps handling of NK perfectly .

In other words, put more power in the hands of un-elected bureaucrats because the people cannot be trusted with self-government.

Yup they elected Trump and half them can't find themselves on a map we need fail safes so the popular vote does not elect a total nut bar

Are you serious? I find it hard to believe that you actually think some form of dictatorial state is better than a republic.
