1. It's a good thing you weren't around when Nixon went to China. n/t

2. Rucker was merely congratulating the photographer (Doug Mills) on taking the photo.

It's one journalist complimenting another journalist's work.

3. The optics of the flags on display are not good because

When photographed from 20 feet away, the US flag is swamped by the larger star of the N. Korean flag. I noticed when they were outside, the backdrop of flags was dominated by the large star. If tRump realized that ahead of time, he’d have had a hissy fit.

4. Rucker just a jounalist

The news is his job he is just reporting. Part of the current problem is that viewers sometimes build people up who are in the news and sometimes they even worship those people and help them get elected as US Pres.

5. I think he was kissing Trump's ass. Sorry.

8. Not likely. He's been consistently very critical of Trump, both in his articles

and in TV interviews.

9. I agree.

When he's on, I stop and pay attention.

6. Well they're both fat..

we can all agree on that.

7. "Historic" does not necessarily mean positive.

Lots of very bad things have been historic. Rucker was pointing out that this occurrence was historic, certainly in the sense that there have never before been any photographs of the president of the U.S. grinning like a monkey and giving a thumbs-up to the most vicious dictator on the planet. That has definitely never happened before.

10. The new Van Jones...in this moment he became Presidential....

[ecstatic]

11. Journalists are succumbing to the nonstop propaganda,

endless lies, and gaslighting. We can tune out from time to time, but they can't. The few journalists who aren't folding are under attack.

12. Your response-tweet is perfect.

Couldn't improve on it even if asked. Keep punching!
