Reminder: Trump scrapped the Iran nuclear agreement despite there being controls in place.
Whereas the text of the US-NK summit doesn't even mention denuclearization and is nothing more than a rehash of previous - and unmet - commitments. Elevating Kim to an equal.
Kim Win - Xi Win.
PS: gotta admit that 45 is a man with a vision: he can already see the condos on those beaches.

US-NK deal isn't a treaty, only an agreement that NK will remove it's nuclear weapons in exchange for a conditional promise not to destroy NK government and provide financial aid.

I don't know why this is so hard. Negotiations didn't stop at the end of the meeting. The whole thing will have to pass the US Senate before it becomes a US treaty.

This may be the best or worst campaign ever.

Some of these students have never considered what would happen if they objected to providing a service.

Have to laugh at that video, because it was shot at my daughter's university, George Washington University in D.C. and her campus is over run with student/professor liberalism! I love the way he turns the tables on the students! The 7-2 Supreme Court ruling should have been 9-0. I remember when I was young many stores had signs on them saying "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" The good old days!

Dennis Hof, Nevada's most famous pimp, wins GOP primary

"LAS VEGAS — Pimp Dennis Hof, owner of half a dozen legal brothels in Nevada and star of the HBO adult reality series "Cathouse," won a Republican primary for the state Legislature on Tuesday, ousting a three-term lawmaker.

"It's all because Donald Trump was the Christopher Columbus for me," Hof told The Associated Press in a phone call. "He found the way and I jumped on it."

Now we could imagine a different albeit similar situation involving a Muslim (or otherwise) worker refusing to bake a Christian cake out of religious feelings.
I can hardly imagine the uproar in this thread.

I think 45 is misguided in always looking at world affairs through the lens of trade - as if Kim was interested in building hotels on the 'beautiful' beaches of NK, or attracting foreign tourists.

I think he is misguided as well in that way. He is myopic. But considering nobody else has had any success negotiating with NK, may as well give him a chance. Kim obviously is interested in attracting foreign tourists, and the beaches in Korea are as beautiful as anywhere. Problem is they don't have a long beach season.

Another problem:
There’s so much poverty in that country and people have been shielded from the outside world and western lifestyles for so long.
What effect would it have on the general population become aware of these luxury condos and see rich foreign tourists? Would it spark an uprising or attempted uprising? Unrest? I mean, that would be a good thing, but I doubt Kim would see it that way. This is a country that “re-educates” those who don’t toe the propaganda line closely enough.

kinda like CNN...

They do a lot worse than that. I'm pretty familiar with the country, though I have only been to the borders in both SK and China. I have met several North Koreans, shared drinks and dinner with them, and read the accounts of people who escaped.

For sure, loosening an iron grip can result in the downfall of the dictator. Machiavelli 101. But people in NK are starting to learn about the outside world. Kim is in a difficult spot. He has the tiger by the tail. He can hardly retire and tell everybody they free. He would be a marked man. But it's also questionable how long he can continue the oppression. I think some of his more extreme actions have been to project an image of strength and to inspire terror in his enemies, precisely because he knows he is vulnerable.

I don't see any way he can navigate his position without losing. I think he is trying, and that's why he will try diplomacy for a bit. Maybe he is just trying to postpone the inevitable as long as possible.

Sarah Sanders, Raj Shah planning to depart the White House
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...-depart-the-white-house/ar-AAyBNSZ?li=BBnb7Kz

Has to wear on you after awhile, the constant lying.

I heard Scott Baio will be Sarah's replacement, he did such a good job with those kids.

"Nobody wants to come in," a source close to the administration said. "So they've gone through two rounds and now they're at 3rd tier of people who are just lucking out—battlefield promotion ends up promoting people who aren't qualified for the position."

Oh, Sarah says no:

Does @CBSNews know something I don’t about my plans and my future? I was at my daughter’s year-end Kindergarten event and they ran a story about my “plans to leave the WH” without even talking to me. I love my job and am honored to work for @POTUS

This is horrendous:

FYI children taken from parents are reclassified as unaccompanied minors. But whether they came alone or with parents, this is unconscionable.

Each of these facilities is single gender, so brothers and sisters are split up too. Two hours outside, the rest of the time incarcerated in a former wal mart. Sleeping 5 to a room meant for a max of 4.

The “dear leader” poster is the icing on the sh*t cake...

I’m sure some of you are gonna “but but but” - I don’t care who started it. This is NO way to treat kids. It’s NO way to treat families. And it’s NO way to treat people who came here seeking asylum.

No effing “tent cities”. This needs to stop. Now.

Of course this was NEVER mentioned in the Liberal Fake News Media, yet it's been on Youtube for several years... and the owners of those bakeries never had to go to court and have their businesses destroyed. Even the Gay community didn't complain about it.... Typical Liberal hatred and vindictive hypocrisy!!!

I’ve read some of those accounts too. It’s the stuff of nightmares...

Tommy Robinson - I won't be around for much longer

Certain features have been disabled for this video
In response to user reports, we have disabled some features, such as comments, sharing, and suggested videos, because this video contains content that may be inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.

This video had been on Youtube since the beginning of this year. Today they removed it... And by coincidence, also today, Tommy Robinson was transfered to a prison where 70% of the prisoners are Muslim... a sure death sentence for him.

The UK authorities are doing everything to silence Tommy... permanently.

Picture of Trump is creepy. Otherwise, it looks decent.

How many people should we let cross the border?

Two million? Three million? 20 million? India and could send 100 million people no problem.

Why not just open it up to mass migration like Germany? What's the worse that could happen? Why do we even have a border?

Hint: Every country south of Arizona would open their prisons.


FYI, 80% of asylum claims are fraudulent.

This is horrendous:
