An asshole dictator not named Trump literally murdered people who didn't serve him good enough. Literally all 10 posts before mine used this as a reason to shit on Trump. ATPN, sometimes I love you guys and sometimes you all just fucking circle jerk in Trump hatred. As much as I desire to join in, sometimes the reason to join is stupid, like now. Why do you think it is a joke that an asshole murdered people? He executed lots of people before Trump and will execute people after him. I can't think of a single reason to laugh over it, joke over it, or mention how shitty an uninvolved president is over it. Will you send your nice jokes to family members of the executed? Will they be all like LOL haha the TrumpTard sucks and that's why my family member is dead LOL LOL LOL, thanks for the giggles ATPN guyz!!
Just in case you haven't noticed, it's always about Trump. Everything unpleasant in the world has a Trump connection. Everything.

By extension of the inhumanity that is Kims grey matter, I think we can agree that Kim is unfortunately guy to fall in love with and the optics and message that *that* conveys? I think that is what the lols is about .. I also dont think they are happy lols, think they are sad lols.

Is this now a thread where a conservative pretends to give a shit about human life?

Your characterization and gross generalization sounds detached. Saying they don't care about life is wrong. You have dehumanized them in your own way, without the empathy and understanding of why their policy is so poor.

For conservatives, it is in essence a lack of proper education and the inability to see how the world truly works. Mixed with a toxic dogma of anti government sentiment. (Because America once told the Brits to !@#$ off). It is inherently a view that our government's entire purpose is to be restrained and restricted for our "protection". This is fear based with the idea that it is an educated position backed by what the founding fathers did. An idea given gravitas that their position is America's very meaning, its very existence.

Yes, I understand there are many violations of that principle, but when in our failings do we humans not selectively apply rules for our own benefit? Not all conservatives are in it to be pure of heart, but I'd suggest most are true believers of the principle laid out. However much they live up to or fail to adhere to it. You would do them harm to callously describe them as not caring about life, perhaps you'd describe them as an enemy of life?

You harm yourself by not knowing who they are and what can motivate individuals within their greater identity, as there are ways to appeal to and convert some of them from their path. If only you saw it, and had the patience and understanding to try and try to make the world a better place. Hating on them will only see hatred returned. Violence upon them will only see violence returned. How then, do you intend to live with them? I suggest you move to understand them, for there is power in knowledge, strength in kindness, and hope in civil discourse.

Maybe Kim's onto something here. If US and China use this to get trade deal done, we'd be rolling in record high stock market now. Just tell the entire negotiating team - go over there, get a deal done....or you all die.

That's swell and all, but what do you suggest for those who understand them? I see conservatives not caring how the "world works" and simply trying to make the world work their way. This obviously is not isolated to American Christian's? Are you suggesting their feels matter more that someone else's? Facts don't matter?

I judge them by their deeds and American conservatives have left a forty year long trail of death and destruction in their wake.

Seriously, find a better hill to die on.

My post appears to have gone over your head. It seems like you interpreted it as me defending the chee-tard. I was not. I was wondering why we play the game of trying to blame every bad thing that happens on him. Not because I pity or care about this asshole. It's because I don't support using mental gymnastics to blame stupid shit on this guy when we can blame an abundance of shit on him that he is actually responsible for. Every time you blame Trump because an evil piece of shit dictator murders his own people you give a valid, legitimate reason for a Trumptard to call you out. I am trying to help you. Don't give them ammo. Don't give them reasons to rightfully criticize you.

Trump can just haul out his recent missle launch statement, tweak a few words and he'll be good to go.

North Korea executed some small officials, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me. I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me. My people think it could have been a violation, I view it differently.

Pretty much. Meanwhile, Kim allows Trump to save face by blaming his own people for failure.

Cheeto didn't ask Kim to execute those officials for their 'failures', but we know how the summit went, and more than that, we know how Trump negotiates. He makes demands, refuses to budge an inch, and stomps his feet and walks out if he can't have it his way. I'm curious how the DPRK envoy was expected to accomplish anything when they were negotiating with an indignant manchild in charge? /boggle

Jesus Christ. Trump's boyfriend is a fking psycho.
Shades of Adolph Hitler. Trump's buddy, too. Trump's such a pushover for any country that will wine and dine him, massage his frail and mushy ego.

Your first mistake was to chastise what others in this thread may feel about Trump. Your second mistake is dismissing how Trump’s part in setting these events in motion with his moronic buffoonery and pathetic bleating for a Nobel Prize because the Blah President got one. Your third mistake is assuming I give a jolly good goddamn what any Trump supporter thinks of me, or you for that matter.

But, thank you. Thank you for giving clearance for what can be said about the Orange Baboon. Lol.

Remember the good old times with Hillary and North Korea threats and actions against us?

If Trump somehow made Rocket Man want to execute his people for not making an agreement
and avoid more threats to send a nuke our way - it sounds like progress to me

You just haven't realized how genius of a negotiator Trump is.

Sure thing bunky:

"North Korea has fired two short-range missiles in its second weapons test in less than a week.

The missiles fired from the north-western city of Kusong travelled 420km (260 miles) and 270km towards the east.

North Korean state media confirmed that Thursday's "strike drill" was overseen by leader Kim Jong-un, but did not specify the weapons fired.

The test came hours after a top US envoy arrived in South Korea for talks on how to revive nuclear negotiations."
