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.
Hate to break the news to you stupid but NK leaders have been executing their own before Trump.

Nice try, Skippy

Well this is just god damn tragic.

Hope someone comes along that is actually invested in helping these poor people escape their shithole situations, hopefully by having an actual comprehensive strategy and realistic endgame in mind.

While I am no supporter of DT, I am open to anyone trying something different to bring pariah states into the international fold (like Obama did with the Iran nuke deal and what DT attempted to do with NK) if it means bringing up the standard of living for the average Joe in these places.

Who blames the gays for anything? You make no sense. You justify your obsessiveness with whatabouts that make no sense.

Lol, rewriting history. As a person raised Evangelical, i can safely agree with Homer. There were definitely people nutty enough to blame LGBTQ for quite a few bad things.

Just more inconvenient truth for you today.

Now, I'm encouraged by the few Evangelicals I even keep in touch with who don't do this stuff that I know of.

Your aloofness is not surprising.

You are out of touch if you think that T thought he was doing something for the average Joe in NK by meeting with Kim. Mostly it was because he loves being wined and dined by heads of state. He has an insatiable thirst for adulation, or what passes for adulation in his world.

I don't think DT thought he was doing anything for anyone, but if he winged a "Nixon goes to China" moment with NK and some people ended up better off even completely by accident, that would be better than the status quo.

Of course even that didn't happen because like you and I said, he was never really honestly committed to anything and was just being mercurial as usual. As a result (and this is entirely on KJU, really) a bunch of guys who basically had the toughest job in the universe we're executed for no real fault of their own.

Kushner’s interview on Axios tonight made me just as confident in our hopes for Mideast peace as they were for denuclearizing NK.

In particular Pat Robertson blamed hurrican damage on gays at one point.

Good thing the CIA doesn't give a fuck about what Trump says or thinks they should do. (and they shouldn't--as bad as that sounds for this country, but this asshole retarded agent of Russia is no fucking president. He's the biggest security threat that this planet has ever seen. Never mind the US)
