The media is the enemy of the state, right?

Depends who's in the WH > When Obama was president it was "the government controls the media." She's so full of sh*t she needs to start a sh*t business.

I know, it's proof positive she is nuts.

North Korea has executed five officials for their part in the failed second summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to a South Korean newspaper.

Citing the newspaper, Bloomberg News reported that Kim Hyok Chol, North Korea's special envoy to the U.S., was executed by firing squad in March for being "won over by the American imperialists to betray the supreme leader."

The paper also claimed that four other North Korean Foreign Ministry officials were executed that same month because of the breakdown of the February summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, but did not provide details.

Maybe Trump will execute National Security Advisor John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Would that be tragic? Not so much.

I happened to wake up at 2:30 am last night, turned on the tv, and WHOA! There's Trump at the DMZ, walking across the border into N. Korea with Kim at his side. Then they turned around and Kim walked into S. Korea. Surrounded by a sea of anxious security guards from 3 countries, and a jostling flock of crazed reporters and photographers, the "historic moment" was quite a spectacle. All that was missing was Elton John singing Candles In The Wind.

Yanno, if I were president I'd do a few things differently.

1) I'd disavow our 'first strike' stance, by which we reserve for ourselves the use of nuclear missiles BEFORE anyone else has used them first. That's been our policy ever since we developed nuclear weapons, and it's beyond stupid. That policy has been the excuse many formerly non-nuclear nations have used to develop nuclear weapons of their own. I'm not naive enough to think abandoning the policy would lead any nation with nuclear ambitions - like NK - to give up their plans. But it doesn't change anything about our nuclear capabilities, and it removes handy cover from those countries.

Something I'll be considering in the next election. My other priority is global warming.

But if democrats once again fail to offer an alternative on either or both of these issues, I'll be once again voting 'none of the above'.

Or, as I have opined on many occasions: And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

Worst idea, ever. To see how that dead-man system could malfunction, you should watch Dr Strangelove or The Terminator movies. I will spoil the movie endings: Most of humanity dies in a nuclear war. That's fiction, but if a real dead-man system was actually built, fiction would become reality and we all die, accidentally, in a worldwide suicide machine.

This came out of nowhere. It appears Trump suggested to the South Koreans this should happen. He spoke to no one before hand. No advisors or anyone knowledgeable about North Korea to see if this was a good idea. He just set it up.

Bam, North Korea jumped at it. Trump had said the North had to denuclearize before talks. I guess he changed his mind.

Don't misunderstand, I want a miracle here. I am rooting Trump succeeds. I just don't' see it. He can't even negotiate successfully with a porn star. So far every foreign leader he has meet with has cleaned his clock.

Yup, yet another of Trumps major fuck ups. If you didn't see this coming don't pretend to have a brain.
