Kim Jong-un has something to lose

Image
Neocons and #NeverTrumpers are insistent that Donald Trump has nothing to do with recent moves towards a negotiated peace between the two Koreas, this despite South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha both unambiguously giving credit to the U.S. President. The trouble with neocons and #NeverTrump "tru-cons" is they believe everything should be win-lose. It’s all that makes sense to them. Trump deals in win-wins. Any solution devised by Trump is going to look like losing to a neocon. Yes, Kim is gaining lots of respectability out of recent events. It’s an asset to him, for sure. The thing about assets is they can be lost. Kim now has more to lose than he did before. Now he has respectability to maintain. Which means he’s stuck being respectable from here out.

Trump vs. Tester

Image
Jon Tester, Democratic Senator from Montana, says it would have been a "dereliction of duty" for him not to investigate the accusation against Dr. Ronny Jackson. I agree with him and that’s why I also agree with President Trump that Tester should resign. ☤☤☤ What Tester did does not comport with what he himself claims his duty to be. Rather than investigate the claims in a serious fashion, he threw the untested accusations to the court of public opinion leaving Jackson and anyone supportive of him scrambling to respond. ☤ ☤ ☤ Jackson is a Navy Admiral and doctor who served three presidents as White House physician. He was Trump's pick to head the Veterans Affairs Administration. Jackson withdrew from consideration in the wake of the accusation publicized by Tester, which included allegations of drinking, over-prescribing drugs, and creating a hostile work environment. ☤ ☤ ☤ In the few days since Tester aired the rumors, it has come to light that Jackson has an unimpeachab

Trump is such an egomaniac, he’s going to fix all the problems just so he can take credit. (6:47 PM - 27 Apr 2018) đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³ Most crime procedurals amount to pro-cop propaganda. The good guy always cooperates; the bad guy never does; the twist is always the guy who didn’t cooperate wasn’t guilty but is still a sleazebag so he deserved to be harassed, he’ll screw up sometime, we’ll get him eventually. đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³ Walmart to suppliers: "Hey, make your product in a size that is neither useful nor satisfying, just for us. Oh, and while you’re at it, make the packaging impossible to open." đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³ Notice: If you follow me because you thought I blah blah blah yakety schmakety, don't be disappointed in me because I didn't something something. Be disappointed in yourself for being so incredibly, stupidly wrong. You moron. đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³đŸ’³ Leftists thrive on kangaroo court ish. Plead the 5th? Must be guilty. Deny the crime? Why would you do that if you aren’t guilty? Don’t deny?

Look! I made this delicious piyiyi—Whoops! Uhhhh… Cobbler! I made a yummy cobbler! Pie is ravioli large enough to share. Late stage free speech: You can get away with any harmful action so long as you say something inflammatory first. Government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together...with guns. You know what would’ve made a great song parody, like, 15 years ago? “Let’s get digital, digital. I want to get digital, digital.“ Someday I’ll be teaching my grandkids how to program a VCR. Why the hell am I on the same internet as all these video game and anime nerds? “Taxation is theft” is rhetorically alongside  “Black lives matter,” “Better dead than red,”  and “From my cold, dead hands.” Mueller needs to hurry up and indict Trump before Korea is reunified. We live in a country where best friends are banned and kids get suspended for making pop-tart guns. But tell me more about how Trump isn’t normal. No one knows what’s normal. They just assume Trump is not. An
