I see. This, then, COULD have been termed ‘FAKE NEWS’ right Sarah? How about an un-American LIE? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

“Certainly in a number of the conversations, including the comments I would refer you back to,” Sanders said, without specifying which comments she was referencing. “Also, South Korean President Moon, who has said that North Korea has expressed a will for complete denuclearization, and certainly that’s the focus of any conversation and negotiation that the United States will have with North Korea.”

“I’m not going to negotiate with you guys,” Sanders said. “I’m going to leave that to the President and Kim Jong Un to walk through what some of those details would look like when that meeting takes place. But I can be very clear that we expect it not to just be mentioned in words, but there have to be concrete actions that take place towards total denuclearization of the peninsula.”

Well, it wouldn’t be “complete” denuclearization unless the United States also denuclearized.

Of course they haven’t agreed to denuclearization. In his rush to claim a victory, Donny Dotard once again shows his complete lack of any grasp of either substance or reality.

I said it before and I will say it again: Trump doesn’t care if they denuclearize. He just wants to be able to claim they did and take responsibility for it. Appearances are all that matters for this guy.

That still leaves a large body of knowledge remaining.

Apparently Sanders had time to consult with the White House Office of Made Up Shit before the presser.

He already has his Nobel Peace prize speech written. And that’s a fact.

He doesn’t get it. He’ll never get it. He’s not trying to get it, and he’ll do anything to get rid of people who do get it.

The North Koreans certainly had that all figured out without need for this new piece just up at the New Yorker:

Initially, [Ken] Pollack said, McMaster gave Trump “the benefit of the doubt,” assuming that he could understand complicated issues. Every day, McMaster subjected Trump to detailed briefings. According to Pollack, the President just sat there. “He would look like he was interested,” Pollack said. “He was probably trying to imagine how many times H.R. has to shave his head every day, while H.R. is going on and on about the complexities of Russia policy.” Only later, Pollack said, did McMaster realize that “the guy wasn’t absorbing a fucking thing he said!”

Donnie and Sarah get the award for “Obfuscation in the Extreme.” Truth is an unknown concept to both of them, as well as most of this malevolent administration.
