What is this day 50 something? Was obama's first x amount of days that exciting? I vaguely remember him closing git mo and then finding out it's kinda more complex than that and not really anything else.

The only thing that Obama stumbled this hard on in his first 100 days was closing Gitmo. He had a couple of dumb self-inflicted wounds (intervening in that idiotic snafu between Henry Louis Gates and that dumbfuck cop) but mostly he was focused on getting stimulus passed and shaping the beginnings of Obamacare.

It's one of three things:
1-Obama illegally had Trump's phones tapped
2-A FISA warrant was issued to tap Trump's phones
3-None of this is true and Trump just make a wildly false accusation because he'll repeat anything he sees on the screen like Ron loving Burgundy.

I hope it's #2. It's probably #3.

Same. I'm almost certain that #1 isn't true because Obama was always very careful about keeping a wall between politics and the JD, sometimes to his own detriment.

This invasive fungemia will not be an epidemic. It is already almost exclusively a pathogen that occurs in very sick ICU patients. This occurs because after a few weeks of high dose antibiotics and critical illness, a person's bone marrow and immune system are pretty much wrecked. They are also extremely nutritionally deficient by such a point and cannot keep even the most banal pathogens at bay. That's when fungemia sets in. Candida albicans is fairly common and easy to kill. This is terrifying that a candida species has become resistant to all of our antifungals, but high dose liposomal amphotericin B will usually still work. This often comes with renal failure, but most patients by this point are on CRRT or nearing it anyways. Sad.

Trump did say earlier than the strongest unused tool against Norks is China, and that he would leverage them via trade in order to produce better results re: Norks. I guess that's a decent/reasonable approach.

The hacking / sabotage stuff is cool and reminds me of the cold war, but it's just going to buy time until whatever big thing occurs.

Is assassinating KJU off the table still due to devil-you-know reasoning?

I think if anyone was going to assassinate Fatty, it would be China. I think that fear of that was what drove him to have Kim Jong-Fredo assassinated last month.

Short of the US invading, how does North Korea fix itself? Coup? Hope Jim Jong-un has no male heirs and then wait for him to die? Wait until everyone literally starves to death then simply repopulate it? Annihilate the entire country after they launch a fizzled nuclear weapon?

How do you fix a failed, rogue state led by a man baby who threatens to throw a nuclear fueled temper tantrum?

Honestly? Best case scenario is that they have a military clique off Un and take over with one of the other kids as a figurehead and then pull a Burma and agree to scrap their nukes/drug mills/whatever for a couple of really fat aid packages from the US and China. Let them stay independent and develop their economy without some crazed fattie at the top loving things up.

Pretty sure that it was fear of that happening which prompted Un to have his brother murdered.
