jeezus fuckin christ

the “genius dealmaker” would have would have would have

he would have...

like he would not have been captured in vietnam, like mccain, but bone spurs got in the way

if only!

he would have

he would not have gone bankrupt six times no no

Well President Trump, that was an absolutely fabulous first visit to Canada. Your twitter tirade as you departed made us all proud. Bravo, Sir. Bravo. I trust that the Kim summit will be just as fruitful.

(In case you cannot tell, I'm being sarcastic. I'm Canadian, and I am proud of my PM's conduct with regard to Trump. What a fucking disgrace.)

The “art of the deal,” according to the supposed Rembrandt of this art (a six-time bankrupt), seems to be this: Ask for the universe, settle for one of Jupiter’s minor moons, claim that the moon is actually the center of the universe and was the real goal all along, and that only he — not Metternich, not Kissinger — could have plucked this flower, safety, from the nettle, danger.

“hope for the best” = “believe the huckster”

Trump sent out his inexplicable tweets (Trudeau said nothing that he hadn't said before) and, as usual, Team Trump was dispatched to do backup duty.

It's mind boggling. Trump accusing Trudeau of being two-faced. You saw Trump prior to, during, and after the summit, and during the summit I couldn't figure out what calming drugs he had taken. Kim is going to notice this, surely. I honestly do hope for the best regarding the Kim summit. But how can you trust this fucking idiot Trump?

Putin is a wonderful guy though!!

Fucking mind boggling. I'm living a bad dream.

I have no idea what sort of president would have to come after Trump to undo the damage done on the world stage. Ghandi times ten or something.

I am glad some people recognize Trump isn't America. It's easy to equate a leader with a nation, and I appreciate those who can make the distinction.

he’s a big portion of it though

the worst portion

Some in GOP are fighting back, but most aren't.

But it's not the fucking GOP anymore. It's The Trump Party. It's fantastic (in a terrible way) what we are seeing.

Sara Huckabee is going to knife Trudeau tomorrow also, isn't she?

was just watching a tv documentary “the price of empire”

the mob does love a dictator

And....once again....where are the fucking Dems? I suppose I'm reading the wrong web pages yet again.

Yeah.....fuck. Schumer basically wants to just let Trump be Trump. Hey Chuck....that's not enough. Do your fucking job.

I keep trying to figure out how this happened, and the I remember that Obama and Trudeau had a bit of a bromance going on. That alone might explain Trump's actions.

I find it very interesting that Trump waited until he was flying off to do this, rather than face to face. Trudeau didn't change his tune one iota when that final conference was going on. Why was Trump so "nice" face to face? It speaks volumes, and Kim will understand this.

lookin good

BLAME CANADA!

It really is amazing how Trump has unified Canada on this.

As an aside, did you guys see the video of Trump arriving late for that G7 meeting?

he’s a uniter not a divider lmao


i try to avoid seeing depictions of the archdemon

i break out in hives when i do

ps- i come to this thread to suffer

okay, and now for some chuckles. times like these, we need humor.

I'm so conflicted on this whole Kim summit thing.

One the one hand, I believe that actually meeting and talking can lead to progress and a better world.

On the other hand, Kim leads the most repressive regime in the world. Why does he get royal treatment, while allies get the shaft?

If Trump can make progress towards getting NK into the world community, I'll gladly congratulate him, and admit that he is calable of doing something worthwhile and good.

Problem for me is that he wanted and raced about how Obama was cosying up to Iran and blah blah blah, when the North Korean regieme is worse than any of them.

It is totally bizzare how here he's showing some diplomacy that has been sorely lacking.

trumpo loves a tyrant. democracy, law, and institutions are laughable to him.


if my trump university diploma can make me a millionaire i’ll do the same

—

so now trumpo in offering to renounce military cooperation with south korea lmao.

another ally getting she shaft.

smh

then again he might just be suckering kim

Yeah, I'm basically reading (the non-fake news places) that SK is surprised by this talk of ending the military exercises, and the military presence in the region. Amazing.

Kim must be pissing himself with glee. He scored 11/10 on this.

It is a lot of talk, wait to see...if Dennis Rodman is crying about it, you really have to wonder.

Reducing the US military assprint in Korea and Japan would result in billions in savings a year, billions in savings that can be given back to the most important taxpayer: me! Opening up the N Korean labor force to the world is an oligarch's dream - lower pay than Haiti! It will be a great place for Americans to retire cheaply. I'm buying oceanfront property there with authentic ocean views!


I really haven't looked at this site in months but this made me laugh...

https://www.infowars.com/trump-showe...condos-hotels/

So N Korea isn't really a country. It's underdeveloped property. Holy shit that explains a lot.

I saw the Rodman thing, and all I can think is....."you don't really know what is going on in NK if you think Kim is such a wonderful guy."

I think that part is what leaves a very sour taste in my mouth about this summit. I believe in meeting and talking, but do we have to lavish praise and ignore human rights issues? Can't this thing take place with a goal towards movement on those things, instead of ignoring them?

An American came home from NK in a coma last year, then died. No nasty tweets about that, but lots of tweets attacking my PM?

Did you guys see the video that the WH produced for this?

Kim must secretly think that they are all fucking idiots if they think he will fall for such schtick.

I could never pretend to have any idea whatsoever what or how Kim thinks -


meanwhile, old Mueller plays the classic Deep State 'trump card - national security. He indicted Concord Management and now claims he can't show them the evidence against them due to national security. Classic!

well it makes sense to lick your enemy’s asshole before you stab him in the back

i’m only saying this because trump stabs everyone in the back

so this asskissing is obviously temporary

not saying this is “strategy” btw—it’s just the way the demon operates

did you ever watch... “britannia”? it’s a newish english show about the roman invasion of britain during claudius’ reign.

i love it in that it gives a very different rationale for history.

watch it and laugh at our dark times. what else is there to do? i don’t know. i just don’t fucking know.

I am going to look this up to see how "true" it is. Can you blame me for being skeptical?

I'll check that out. My favourite period of history to study is Roman Britain to 1066 And All That. Thanks.

a warning, a lot of sillies complain that it's not "historically accurate" etc.

which is besides the point--this one is an entertainment not documentary. and it's about imagination! not archaeology.

but it's great! it's slightly bananas. yeah. hmmm. also kelly reilly defies convention and gets more beautiful with age i swear.

also there is a season 2 on the way. i found it on amazon and it's coproduced with SKY. not sure about your area.

Wow!! That was easy!! Telsa's view of this is not exactly in line with the view of many other news organizations. (I bet Fox has a similar view to Tesla, right?)

I will beg for crucifixion by supplying the CNN report first:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/12/polit...nts/index.html

Posting this just to show that in some countries (shitholes, I suppose) certain key things still fuckin' MATTER:

Spain minister resigns over tax record after days in office
MADRID (AP) — Spain's minister of culture resigned Wednesday after just under a week in office after news reports revealed he was fined a decade ago for evading thousands of euros in taxes. Maxim Huerta, a former television presenter and writer, said he did nothing illegal, but chose to step down to shield the new government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez from criticism.

I'm old enough to remember a time whenever the POTUS said something non-factual, he was held to account. It was actually shocking if POTUS said something that was easily disproved.

I know, right?

yes.

just finished a 13-episode series on ww2 and even until the end fucking hitler was blaming "the jews" for germany's defeat lmao.

but look. there is nothing i can do at the moment. so im going to take a month off politics to watch the world cup and ESCAPE this shitfest we call reality ha ha ha ha.

if the world is still here at the end of the world cup then i'll catch up.

stay well sonic brother! and enjoy your summer against all odds. and read the epicureans or the stoics, whichever you prefer.

(ima be an epicurian this month lmao. HORTUS CONCLUSUS :D )

Sometimes I have to remind myself that I live in Canada and thank fuck I don't live in America. (Sorry if that offends. I don't mean to.)

So.....yeah.

Thanks. Enjoy your time away.

Yeah, enjoy. I hope you recharge your battery, but you know of course shit will be waiting for you when you return. You can pause, but can't escape.

I'm telling ya: keeping it local keeps me sane. Local and state politicians are easier to reach, easier to persuade, etc.


That said, America is great. It's beautiful and has people who do awesome things. Admit it, bitch.

Trump and those who enable him suck shit. But those people are NOT America.

they’re also america! slavery and the extermination of the indians and the tuskegee experiment and vietnam are also america!

just like the polio vaccine and the national parks and victory over fascism and the 8 hour workday (even though uruguay did it first :D )

i applaud your strategy. all politics is local. and yes i will escape TEMPORARILY! and if we all die in the interim due to global thermonuclear war at least i’ll die happy lololol.

ok. don’t argue with me no’ mo’. if you need me for some emergency please send PM.

ps also got master chef on this thing so it will be non-stop “reality” :D

adios

Wait! You're wrong! Come back!

Damn it.

You do know CNN is the voice of the Deep State, right?

Mueller on Tuesday asked a federal judge in Washington for an order to protect voluminous evidence sought by lawyers for Concord Management and Consulting LLC, one of three companies and 13 Russian nationals charged in a February indictment alleging election meddling via social media. Prosecutors have uncovered evidence of other individuals and entities who are “continuing to engage” in similar activities.
