... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

Horrifying. The North Korean Special Envoy to the US has been executed by Kim Jong Un at an airport (!!), among others, supposedly due to the failure of the recent NK-US summit in Vietnam.

And that’s what Trump’s BFF does. What pictograms will the WH choose to explain that one to Trump?

poorly reporting on the negotiations without properly grasping U.S. intentions

KJU had a judgement failure there.
Nobody can grasp US intentions in the Trump era. Not even Trump.

I thought he (or they) had a better grasp of Trump and could work to indulge/manipulate him like any other savvy leader.

This version, where they really don't, is much worse.

Trump will be full of admiration for the brutality of Kim Jong un and his swift vengeance upon those who do not carry out his wishes to the letter

PerkingFaintly · 31/05/2019 10:58

That's horrifying!

The only bright spot is this from the Reuter's article:

North Korea executes envoy in a purge after failed U.S. summit: media
www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-usa-purge-idUSKCN1T02PD

Reuters was unable to independently confirm the report. Previously, some North Korean officials have reportedly been executed or purged only to reappear with a new title.

At least it wasn't death by missile.

Whosorrynow · 31/05/2019 11:43

I wonder what kind of surreal spin Trump will come up with on this one

Whosorrynow · 31/05/2019 11:45

I think lil Kim's next move will be to design an orange missile with a blonde wig and dodgy false teeth

Every time I see pictures of North Korean bigwigs getting into shiny limos I remember that the food ration for ordinary people in Korea is 300g per day (as of earlier this month).

I wonder whether Trump thinks that's a good idea too.

Trump's tiny penis will swell to the size of an acorn when he fantasizes about his boyfriend Kim nonchalantly starving his people to death

How to justify billions for the wall?
More people are moving from the US to Mexico than the other way around

And...
"In yet another ironic twist, the vast majority of Americans living in Mexico are unauthorized immigrants or have errors with their paperwork, according to a 2015 study from Mexico's National Institute of Statistics and Geography."

Ups

I think the Mexican authorities need to start rounding them up and keeping them in camps and losing some of them. That's apparently what enlightened, forward-thinking democracies do these days.

cozietoesie · 31/05/2019 20:49

Which ones are those?

cozietoesie · 31/05/2019 21:01

Sorry. That was a query about 'democracies'.

Anniegetyourgun · 31/05/2019 22:22

Well, one, er, it was a democracy up till a couple of years ago, anyway.

cozietoesie · 31/05/2019 22:38

And this is the person who is negotiating with Xi and Kim.

De Niro will save us all!

Director Rob Reiner discusses a new video for NowThis News where Robert De Niro and federal prosecutors explain the key findings in the Mueller report.

Judge Sullivan will not be pleased.

'The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is considering legally challenging President Donald Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on all Mexican goods as a way to curb illegal immigration, a top official said Friday, as the administration’s intensifying trade fight roiled markets.

“We would like to persuade the administration that there are better ways to deal with" immigration concerns at the southern border, Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer Neil Bradley said in an interview Friday. The Chamber is “also exploring what legal options might be available,” he said.'
