What next? Oh the Nazis were just doing what they had seen done? Hitler was tough, but he had to be tough? Geez come on. I realize the Mango Menace isn’t very bright, but slobbering all over Kim Jong-un is just too much even for him.

T rumpp has already admitted defeat.
“He’s starved his people.”
“I will serve them word salad.”

It’s quite ironic that Team Trump indignantly claimed Trudeau stabbed Donnie in the back … and yet Trump now lauds a ruthless dictator who has done that literally to family members who he regarded as a potential political threat.
To review:
There’s a special place in hell for Trudeau, but Kim, Duterte, and Putin are righteous dudes.

FWIW: Next to the tweet there’s a drop down menu. Click it on, select “copy link to tweet”, come back to your blank message, et voila the tweet, she appears.

I don’t think what moron Trump actually says matters to the TrollGOP. The photo op is all they will point to as an achievement, after all. A photo op they will use to ‘piss off the libtards’.
Yes, the current GOP is now run by trolls.

The American government tortures and kills people, too. We have no moral high-ground. Just look who is running the CIA.
You got that right. It’s like a comfort blanket, everyone’s on the same page when it comes to the foolish monster, word salad ignoramus occupying the WH

Are there systematic, government run programs of starving people somewhere in this country? Do tell.

He is sending his followers into a state of deep thought, thus making them feel good about themselves for having such deep thoughts about diplomacy. Deep thoughts reflect deep wisdom on T rumpp’s words. His words cause deep thoughts. Deep thoughts from T rumpp are like bleu cheese dressing for T rumpp’s word salad. Add in Bolton’s croutons, and Pompeo’s onion’s, and yum-yum. Behold the deep thoughts.
Maybe. ICE won’t let anybody see what is happening to the children of immigrants that are being torn from their families and apparently being warehoused in cages. And we don’t know what happened to the 1500 kids that can’t be accounted for.
And who knows what is happening in the our prisons.
And, of course, there is the denial of food assistance to families. That is a thing, too, in the United States. 13.1 million households with kids and not enough to eat.

I’m not telling you anything you don’t know, but a person must live in a remarkably monochrome world to not see shades of gray between the human rights record of the United States and North friggin’ Korea.
Unsurprising grandparent comment was unsurprising.

What is it exactly you’re doing about the deplorable conditions our government imposes on other people particularly immigrants? I can read newspapers and learn the same. It’s one more rolling out of criticism of the government in general and it’s non productive.

It’s a good thing the guy who starves his own people and runs massive concentration camps didn’t offer the mildest of indirect rebukes to Trump; otherwise there’d be a “special place in hell” for Little Rocket Man.

I appreciate this bit of 1980’s pop psychology from a man who has so successfully channeled his inner child.

Tell me about the black sites in Thailand. And Poland. And Ukrain. And Montana.
For something that Josh describes as a “nothingburger” it is amazing what a disaster it really is, mostly because of those words that keep coming out of Trump’s mouth.
Without consulting, or warning, South Korea or our own defense and intelligence establishment, Trump gave North Korea something it has wanted for decades - an end to U.S. and South Korean joint exercise. This is an enormous concession.
Trump gave effusive praise to Kim that could have been written in Pyongyang, even excusing him for his violent repression. So, giving complete cover to the most brutal regime in the entire world, less than a year after an American died from abuse there.
Trump gave what Kim wanted most, and all past Presidents denied, him - status. Past Presidents would not even talk to the North Korean leader, not even giving him the recognition we would give a minor state, since doing so would give him legitimacy. But Trump treated him as a full equal.
And Trump got nothing for these enormous concessions. Nothing. Vague promises, even vaguer than past North Korean promises are literally nothing.
Oh, and in the press conference afterward notice how focused Trump was on the possibility of real estate deals there. Great beaches, great locations for condos and hotels. We know what Trump was really thinking about at that summit.
It was the Trump “Triple Crown” which we have come to expect:
Ignorance. Check.
Incompetence. Check.
Corruption. Check.
The more you study in detail what was said and done, the worse it gets.
