It figures, this summit was nothing but a "Dog and Pony" show. I'll leave it to the reader to determine who the dog and pony are. Big fat nothing burger.

PR bullshit!

I’m sure Hannity, Fox ‘news’ and most of the MSM will say this horseshit is some kind of triumph for Shitler though.

I was really afraid there would be a bodyslam, a hissy fight, or a groping of some sort.

The progress was that Un gets international prestige, while Trumpy gets... well... nothing but news cycles. For 48 "riveting" hours, Trumpy held the undivided attention of the MSM. They were hanging on his every insult, lie, brag, and con game. The MSM bought it full. That's all that Trumpy wanted anyway. He can't negotiate terms of nuclear disarmament (because there won't be any, and he wouldn't know how to start if that actually were an objective). But he wins a couple of news cycles while he acknowledges the fact that he elevated Un to the status of a non-murderer. Now THAT'S why we have Trumpy as president.

POTUS could have pulled off had they wanted to. Congrats dotard, you gave a murdering despot credibility...and that's pretty much all you accomplished in Singapore.

... they both got their parking validated - and that was it.

I give it until Friday before Spanky starts whining about how his Nobel Peace Prize hasn't arrived in the mail yet, thanks to the corrupt US postal service being part of the deep-state that is conspiring against him.

But Pootie still gets a bigger one, along with a Trumpy Bear and a certificate for 10% off his next stay at any Rump Resort.

A few months ago, folks were certain WWIII was at our doorstep. I view any type of dialogue as a good thing.

I had no expectations from this initial meeting other than an agreement to keep talking.

I don't know why so many here are cheering for failure, aside from their hatred of Trump. That scenario is too frightening to contemplate.

violator a stage with our American flag and the NK flag shown in unison. Trump gave validity to this human right violator and dictator. As a military veteran, I find this quite disgusting.
