he’s a uniter not a divider lmao


i try to avoid seeing depictions of the archdemon

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...

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:

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.
