[chelsea0011]

Air Force 1 has many TVs and Trudeau might not know this, Seoul is a very big city and is near the DMZ, Guam, an island, is far away, 6.5 hours (depending on where you leave from, I guess) , trump's uncle knows "A Lot about nucleah", ....Any others learn something?

1. Kim wants to "do the right thing"

[vlyons]

2. I learned that there are no depths

to which the Asshole will NOT stoop in his mania for ego-cherishing. I learned that the whole world is laughing at us. Actually I already knew that the world was laughing at us.

6. Umberto Eco's Characteristics of Ur-Fascism...#14

14. Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. Newspeak was invented by Orwell, in 1984, as the official language of Ingsoc, English Socialism. But elements of Ur-Fascism are common to different forms of dictatorship. All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning. But we must be ready to identify other kinds of Newspeak, even if they take the apparently innocent form of a popular talk show.

7. what Trudeau said is what ANY leader of a country would say when insulted by the USAss

...and by all standards it was pretty damned mild.

9. That North Korea 'exploded cannons'.

So Trump created a video that they showed to Kim of how great things COULD be if he went along with them. And here's how idiot describes it to reporters:

"I told him, “You may not want this. You may want to do a much smaller version of this. I mean, you’re going to do something, but you may want to do a smaller version. You may not want that, with trains, super everything at the top. And maybe you won’t want that.”

So wait, we are offering to rebuild their whole country, but if they don't want trains and super everything they don't have to have super everything? If we are giving it away, why wouldn't they take it. It's FREE STUFF.

"It’s going to be up to them. It’s going to be up to the people, what they want. And they may not want that, and I understand that too. It’s a version of what could happen, what could take place As an example. they have great beaches. You see that whenever they’re exploding their cannons into the ocean, right? I said “Boy, look at that view. Wouldn’t that make a great condo?” And I explained, I said, instead of doing that you could have the best hotels in the world right there. Think of it from a real estate perspective. You have South Korea, you have China and they own the land in the middle. How bad is that, right? It’s great."

There is SO much wrong with just this paragraph from the idiot in chief. #1, it's not up to 'the people'. It's a dictatorship. #2, they don't 'explode cannons'. They fire artillery.

The moron just buddied up to one of the most murderous, brutal and repressive dictators in the world. He traded away South Korean security for what he thinks will be a Nobel prize for himself.

The best deal-maker in the history of the universe (according to him anyway), preemptively gave up everything and got nothing but vague promises in return.
