North Korea

Am I happy that the hostages were released? Absolutely. However, I'm not sure Team Trump Treason had a damn thing to do with any of it. He spouted off about fire and fury and using armed conflict to bring about regime change and tweaking an Obama era sanction. The South and North Koreans would have paid a heavy price if such rhetoric became fruition. Also, Team Trump Treason hadn't nominated or appointed a US ambassador to the South, which had to have left the South feeling like they weren't very high on the Team Trump Treason priority list (Team Trump Treason subsequently poached the ambassador to Australia to fill in, leaving the Australian's miffed). As such, the South Koreans realized they had to "lead by example." How'd they do that? They invited Un to the Olympics (which Team Trump Treason subsequently took credit for the success of) and opened their own negotiations with the North. Once Team Trump Treason saw that he was being left out and leading from behind, he suddenly changed his tune to, "I'll meet with the very honorable Un." Now, while the release of the hostages is certainly a good thing, I think it was the South Koreans and perhaps China that convinced Un to do it as a good will gesture. Team Trump Treason had nothing to do with it. Now, Team Trump Treason is crowing about how great he is while simultaneously withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, with no alternative in place, and willing to meet with Un. I have little faith that Team Trump Treason can be trusted to negotiate anything, renege on any agreement and that somehow, he's being totally played by all sides on this. South Korea giving him credit? Its called stroking TTT's ego. The Chinese? they're in the driver's seat, along with Russia, the two countries that have the most to gain and little to lose, unless war breaks out or there is a flood of refugees to China. North Korea? What exactly have they given up? What have they gained? Prestige, a face to face with a sitting US president and a small nuclear arsenal. All for releasing 3 seized US citizens. Pretty high ROI, wouldn't you say? And what has the US gotten? Three released seized US citizens, again, a great thing but a far cry from "a denuclearized NK." Now TTT is announcing the DMZ is out as the site for the meeting but also saying a site has been selected and he'll make an announcement in 3 days. Its PT Barnum at the helm trying desperately to keep Cohen and Russian collusion off the front page. And PJSoul's comments about TTT are spot on.

The "very honorable Un."

Fred and Cindy Warmbier filed the suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It says the Warmbiers are seeking “to obtain justice" and that North Korea's conduct was criminal, extreme and malicious.

“North Korea, which is a rogue regime, took Otto hostage for its own wrongful ends and brutally tortured and murdered him,” the lawsuit says.

“Otto was taken hostage, kept as a prisoner for political purposes, used as a pawn and singled out for exceptionally harsh and brutal treatment by Kim Jong Un," Warmbier's father, Fred, said in a statement. "Kim and his regime have portrayed themselves as innocent, while they intentionally destroyed our son’s life. This lawsuit is another step in holding North Korea accountable for its barbaric treatment of Otto and our family."

Trump is killing it.  Even with 90% of the media that people sop up with a spoon in this country spewing hate and negative things on a daily basis for ratings, he keeps at it.  There’s no one else I know who could whether that daily storm like he does and not break down. He sure says and tweets a lot of stupid shit lol but he definitely saved those people’s lives- whatever’s left after Un fucked with them, anyway.

I still read these angry threads and laugh my ass off at how upset everyone is for no reason.  No one on this board has been personally affected by any of Trump’s moves- well, except for a few more bucks in their paychecks prob or if they’re a tranny in the military maybe or the live where that pipeline is supposed to go- but he’s still so vile and ruining our country and we’ll never survive and oh treason and dots and Russia yadda yadda yadda... yawn, you guys are sure entertaining!

Buh, buh, buh Benghazi! Buh, buh, buh, buh, her emails! Too funny. Bribery concerns me. Obstruction of justice concerns me. Bank fraud concerns me. Tax evasion concerns me. Money laundering concerns me. Conspiracy to defraud the United States concerns me.

Team Trump Treason is killing it all right. Rule of law that is. But when it’s your boy, it’s all good, right?
