Title based on what a college professor used to tell us when the going got tough.

"Just remember when you're standing shoulder deep in horse shit, there's a pony in there somewhere. So just keep digging".

Tweet thread on N Korea

twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1033045273361178624

I have asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to go to North Korea, at this time, because I feel we are not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula...

...Additionally, because of our much tougher Trading stance with China, I do not believe they are helping with the process of denuclearization as they once were (despite the UN Sanctions which are in place)...

...Secretary Pompeo looks forward to going to North Korea in the near future, most likely after our Trading relationship with China is resolved. In the meantime I would like to send my warmest regards and respect to Chairman Kim. I look forward to seeing him soon!

From the thread of that zinger of an old tweet Gump found:

Mueller probably has something similar on his office wall!

Thanks, North, I'll try not to mess it upSmile

ohmymimi · 24/08/2018 19:13

But, look how close O'Connor came in a GOP stronghold.

cozietoesie · 24/08/2018 19:14

Indeed. Smile

PerkingFaintly · 24/08/2018 19:49

That's Al Capone, the well-known gangster and murderer? Whom Dana Loesch is invoking in the same breath as the president?

OK. Not going to stop ya!

PerkingFaintly · 24/08/2018 19:55

Oh that's excellent news about the Georgia county polling stations, lionheart. Although, watch this space for last minute "Oops we couldn't find the keys and anyway we purged all the lists."
