(19,204 posts)I won't name which sites I lurked on tonight (briefly, very briefly) but they're LOVING their cult leader after his stunning "victory" with North Korea. I kid you not, they're singing his praises for having the GUTS to demand absolutely nothing in return for his concessions. Some other comments were, "What's the alternative? Having constant tension in the Pacific rim? At least the dialogue has calmed down, and no Democrat ever did that".
