The slog of this authoritarian shitshow is grinding us all down. My inspiration has gone into hiding with Melania. Knock yourselves out! (Trump cont.)

Does what it says on the tin. 🤷‍♂️

Here’s the last thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3258057-I-Spy-with-My-Little-Eye-Something-Beginning-with-T-Traitorous-Treasonweasels-in-Trumptown-Trump-contd

it didn't really matter what is agreed. Trump has spent the last few months proving that any agreement made with him, and by extension, the US government, is utterly worthless.

My exact feelings. None of them intends to keep to any deal.

Also, Fox.

Sometimes the truth just slips out, Lweji !

Watching them both arriving in Singapore- I'm feeling very nervous about tomorrow.

‘Analysis: Wit, wisdom are likely tactics from Kim's playbook'

'"The hypothesis is ludicrous," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says when asked how North Korea can trust the United States -- given the president's weekend explosion at US allies at the G7.'

Not sure if I should hope that KJU does a Kim Jong Nam on Trump or not...

By the way Trump has behaved over the last few days - with allies - I shudder to think of what could happen in the next week. He has not prepared at all. He is notoriously stubborn and KJU is notoriously cruel. What does KJU want? My guess is only the ability to say he was the first - the first NK leader to meet a US President. He can go back to NK and be covered in glory for decades to come.

Donald Trump will be a virtual kill in KJU’s eyes. I think that’s all it is and that’s all will be achieved.

From the WP article:

Worse still, his disturbing invitation for Russia, the United States’ most worrisome foe, to join the G-7 suggests he really cannot tell who is a friend and who is an enemy.

I think he actually can. His friends...

Off to 4 corners now. www.abc.net.au/4corners/ Carter Page saying it is a witch hunt.

At this point, the world would be better off if we invented a fictional country with a long-running conflict, had Fox & Friends show Trump lots of dramatic images and tell him Obama was never able to solve it, and sent him off to a resort staffed by sycophantic actors where he could "negotiate" with a blingy "dictator" and then watch himself looking heroic on TV.

He wouldn't realise, and it would keep him out of trouble.

He doesn't like the real world or dealing with equals he's not really their equal.

"Wag the Dog" for the President? It might work.

'Trump attempting to absorb ethics-based reasoning must be like a child in a Peanuts movie listening to an adult, with the words all sounding like indecipherable trombone notes.'

Quantum Thanks to your tip-off the first time around, I managed a whole episode this week. It was a good one - I’ve come to the conclusion that Carter Page isn’t all that much really (ie. a weasel who talks himself into into trouble but can’t talk himself out).

lion ethics-based reasoning? Geez. No. For Trump, it’s simply SAD. BAD. TERRIBLE. Sometimes he might stretch to NICE.

Loved seeing Papadopoulos's wife carefully explaining all the people who had authorised him to act.

Yikes.

'The working-level sessions, including those led by Pompeo, have foundered repeatedly over basic issues of what the summit should be about and an inability to close fundamental gaps in understanding over denuclearization (link: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/with-smiles-and-a-handshake-trump-and-kim-could-mask-gulf-on-nuclear-arms/2018/06/11/9243cd56-6d3b-11e8-bf86-a2351b5ece99_story.html?utm_term=.abb0d1e9d7ee) ' washingtonpost.com/politics/with-… @washingtonpost

Very yikey, good article, lion. 'Enemy of my enemy', Palestinians disposable to all, T. the puppet masquerading as puppeteer. Yet another deep sigh.

Scrotus feels safe being all 'macho' with the G7. He knows that they aren't going to do anything truly draconian. But KJU? He's going to come over all charming and Heep-ish because 1-he wants to do 'what Obama couldn't' even if it means selling us out, and 2-he's a coward and afraid of the combo of NK and China.

DH and I are sadly looking at our caravan and wondering if we should beat feet to Canada now before they (justifiably) 'build a wall'.

No, we'll stay and fight the good fight. Vive la résistance! Scrotus à la lanterne!!!
