Ho-Hum-in


Kim Jong-un has canceled a meeting with South Korea today and is threatening to pull out of his planned summit with President Trump ... all because of well-advertised  joint military exercises between the US and South Korea. So what else is new? Such negotiating tactics are to be expected from North Korea ... as they have behaved the same way many times in the past.

It is the TV media that us the manic-depressive in this scenario. They love to glom onto good news and bad news to whip up a viewership frenzy. They should know ... as I am sure that Trump knows ... that there will be many zigs and zags before this negotiations with Kim are done ... for good or bad.

Will this process end with the denuclearization  of the Korean Peninsula ? For what it's worth, my guess is NO ... history is a good predictor ... but what do I know?

  1. We did not learn the lessons of History about occupying Afghanistan. We elected a reality show star who doesn't read. (Doesn't need to because he is so smart.) Our treasure and blood spent rebuilding Iraq is completely wasted. Nancy Pelosi (et al) will not get off the stage. We have learned nothing, and we are doomed.

    1. By "we" do you include B.O.?

    2. I was actually thinking of the two dumbf*cks who got us into Afghanistan --Bush and Cheney. Obama inherited that mess. Be real for a change.

    3. Yes, the original invasion was to get Osama Bin Liden. But Obama said that Afghanistan was the "good war" and initiated a surge of 130,000 soldiers who then sat on their hands because of O's silly rules of engagement Your memory is playing tricks on you.

    4. Perhaps the cynical conservative "deep state" military Generals were sitting on their hands trying to make Obama look bad? PS it was Obama who "got him." Maybe your memory needs a new filter.

    5. You are right ... I forgot. Obama led the Seal team.

  2. Would it be better for you if B.O. got lynched?

    1. You are being silly ... take a deep breath and think before you accuse me of such racism.

  3. Okay. I took a deep breath. I thought. Would you be sad if B.O, Hillary and Bill went over a high cliff in a Tesla in autopilot mode? You would not. You know you would not.

    1. There is a big difference between disliking come one and wishing them dead ...or worse lunching him. Do you equate me to the Klan? Quite an insult.

  4. Easy there big fella! Just pointing out that Hannity and Fox cannot get through a thought without chastising Clinton and/or Obama. It is not “compared to then”, this is now. There is now and tomorrow.

    1. I have not heard anyone on Fox wish someone dead ... unlike CNN and MSNBC. Et vous?
