    And again, a complete nonsense of the Showmaster from the White House with a new episode of "that never happend before theater"!

    Historical? ... has anything changed in the meantime on the North Korean missile and / or nuclear weapons arsenal? Ehm no!

    "An amzing event"? .... ehm ... sorry ... yawn!

    A good friendship with Kim? --- nice ... "#Oliver Warmbier"!

    And of course, the red MAGA hats cheer their demigod from the Trump Tower ... but that's not new! They cheer for every bullcrap that Deonald Dumb makes or says!

    Thank you. Trump supporters need to be reminded of their hypocrisy.

    Few of them will click on it, or if they do, manage to make it all the way through that clip. A vanishingly small number will actually accept their hypocrisy.

    You have very very low expectations.

    Getting your picture taken with a dictator who has committed to nothing and has no incentive to do so is not winning. Particularly when the President you’re letting take your picture with is a fool.

    But the fool wanted the picture, and his base has such low expectations that they won’t notice or care when nothing happens.

    If you are a democrat you would be comfortable with low expectations.

    No, trying to put words in other people’s mouths never works for you.

    The Trumpster hypocracy is loud and on open display.

    Little Rocket Man is diddling your fuhrer, at your fuhrer’s invitation. And you’re cheering for Kim Jong Un, now (funny, you weren’t doing that when Trump was bellowing about war, or when Otto Warmbier died).

    And you won’t notice one bit when nothing happens. Indeed, when we point it out to you that nothing came of this photo op, you’ll ignore the thread or make up some drivel about three deminstional chess.

    Ah yes. The "I know you are but what am I?" retort.

    The fact that Fox News, Trump and all the Trump lemmings are hypocrites does not make anyone else hypocrites.

    Can you Imagine if Hillary had did this while Secretary of State ? Or Obama, or any Dem. for that matter, the Congressional Republicans would be calling for their immediate termination. Trump does it, he is a Brave hero protecting us from Nuclear Annihilation. The Right wing Hypocrisy is off the charts again.
    Strange part is that most of those preaching this up as good work for the right wing think tanks and it is their PAID JOB to promote anything Trump does as a good thing.

    Pathetic Trump would do this.. then comes back and writes "amazing things happened this weekend" again, here we are 3 years in and nothing is done with China, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Mexico. All know he cant win again and all 4 of these now "OPPONENTS" will just wait it out. They will start hitting below the belt come springtime to make him look even worse.

    At the last minute Trump may give into a few and call it a win, which will be another LIE.

    I could care less about Acosta, he is just a reporter, at least he tells the truth, give him that... Trump only lies and is a tyrant.
    He is supporting a MAN running a regime that holds the title of "worst human rights atrocities" and Trump makes him look like a friend, a buddy. This should tell everyone that if Possible, Trump would do the same thing to all his opponents. I feel the same way, only different about Biden, Pelosi, Kamala, Clintons. They are all for the BIG banksters maintaining control of the people. The right pay thosands to post online in their favor, favor of everything Trump does...
    The LEFT want to continue the policy of bringing in every human that wants to come in and give them everything until we are broke. Both sides are now horrible.

    How does meeting with a man at the DMZ and shaking his hand help ? He kills and starves his own people and Trump just made him look like a normal person. For what ? To get N.K. to rid on Nuclear Weapons ? We shouldnt even be there, let alone all that goes with that... Running around the World telling others how to live with OUR money.
    Israel has a financial surplus, no debt, we have Trillions, yet we spend billions each year of OUR working class money to protect Israel, South Korea, and many more.
    The BS is just off of the charts. That is too both sides, not just Trump, but to Democrats too. Our Country is a complete mess.

    We have already started looking for a place to go. Other country, I feel for those stuck here with no out. The financial Bludgeoning coming soon will be off of the charts too.

    Trump is a coward. The only people he doesn't care about offending are those that cannot or - because they have something he doesn't have (class) - will not hit back.

    No, when I was a wee lad I believed that things like decorum and optics mattered.

    And then Mitch McConnell took the Senate, and then Donald Trump got elected.

    Now I see politics for what it really is: A vicious power struggle, and West Wing liberals are a major obstacle to winning that struggle.

    Trump's proclamation that meeting with North Korea's dictator was, "A great honor," made rational observers reach for their vomit bags. Love letters? Big invite the the White House? No wonder Kim loves Trump, he's a dictator's dream come true. Trump gave Kim what three generations of NK dictators could only dream of, world recognition on equal footing with the United States.

    Trump is a transactional, short term thinker that believes if you lavishly praise on an evil thug he will love you. In other words, Trump projects himself onto the motivations of others. So, after all the love letters and lavish photo ops, what has the United States gained? Nothing. There won't be anything in the future either. Kim has what he wants. Sanctions? They may starve North Koreans, but Kim is eating and drinking well. Besides, gods don't need earthly sustenance. Especially when the god has China.

    Once again, the lure of immediate recognition and adulation has played Trump like a tin kazoo. The probable outcome of Trump's slow dance with Kim is hard to predict, other than it will probably be nothing or not good.

    It's called Diplomacy. The country isn't a complete mess, Democrats are. Whining, crying, stomping their feet, marching like Nazi's, burning campuses, destroying private businesses and property, shutting down free speech and assaulting those that take up arms for their cause. If Democrats would take some pride and start working to fix issues in this country, instead of trying to remove the POTUS, everyone would be better off.

    Instead, they embrace the same tactics that fascists embrace. Return to the middle and back to sanity, otherwise things will get a whole lot worse.

    The money belonged to the previous regime, not the islamist.

    That is irrelevant. The dough was Iran's and part of the nuclear deal was they would get their money back. Why they insisted on low denomination bills I don't know.

    I doubt it.

    Today, North Korean television shows Kim walking with Trump with a big smile on their face.

    Neither his father nor his grandfather ever succeeded in bringing an American President to his country.

    Trump has just legitimized one of the worst regimes on the planet and when Kim will executes one of his citizens with an anti-aircraft gun, he can say that it will have no impact on his relations with US....

    He'll keep his nuclear weapons and the Trumpsters will applaud.
