I would have thought that was extremely newsworthy , have not had time to check CNN etc.
No wonder half the world are mushrooms, they are lied to by omission.
11 out of 237 house Republicans want a list of people charged, 11!!!
They are sucking up to their constituents who are Trumps base.

And 2 of the people they want charged are the 2 FBI agents who said unkind things about Trump by text to each other.

What are they going to be charged with?
Saying unkind things about Trump Bwhahahahaha!!!!!

I'm struggling to take this post even as satire

I.e. propaganda.

P.S. All wars are bankers wars.
*chuckles*

Coming from someone that swallows everything coming from the WH whole that's precious.

So let me get this straight, Trump is "winning" on the Korean peninsula because of sanctions you believe are working? But why do you believe they are working?

China has a strategy (unlike the US). They want all trade from SK & Japan to go through China.

How do they achieve that goal? They offer NK to build the infrastructure they both need to make that a reality.

The change in NK is more about Chinese policy than anything the Orange Emperor is doing.

Yep. Something has changed after 60 years. For decades whoever controlled NK used it to extort Billions (maybe trillions) from the West.
And it certainly did NOT flow to the NK proles.

Who really controlled NK?

I assume you are still of the belief that Communism was imposed on these people from the ground up and not the top down?

Like most Trumpians around here, you're hearing voices again.

China & Russia have controlled the fortunes of NK for the past 60 years out of necessity. They haven't wanted US troops on their doorstep.

But the regions of China and Russia that border NK are remote and relatively poor so NK haven't benefited economically from those relationships. It has suited both Russia and China too for NK to remain a reclusive regime. It also helped give them plausible deniability when working around numerous sanctions.

The world is changing, that's what's changed in NK. They now have the option to participate in economic prosperity, and not have to fear US & SK dominance. In the past any attempted integration with the South have left the North feeling short-changed or vulnerable. China has a plan were they can be strategically a significant player.

China wants with the help of Russia to build the worlds fastest rail freight corridor from the Korean Peninsula to Rotterdam. If they are successful the entire balance of world trade will be tipped on it's head. The Chinese know freight and logistics & the wealth it brings better than anyone. There was a reason Kim traveled to China by train. Think about it.

They not only want China to be the world's largest producers, they also want China to be Asia's trade hub. But they also want zero reliance on the US or ports controlled by the US (and waters by their military).

Strategically Trump is making a huge mistake for the US if he caves to normalisation with NK. But the Chinese with the help of NK now have him boxed in.

The Chinese are playing the long game. Personally Trump is too (as usual while selling out his country).

Forget it, to them Trump is the reason why flowers bloom in the spring.

If that was the case , they would not be squawking so loudly.
Loudest noise comes Trumps twitter account, I was speaking with a reasonably successful businessman earlier who is a Trump fan and even he admitted that all of Trumps problems were caused by his twitter use.

He made a good point that if Trump just got on with policy and didn't care about what anyone says of him and didn't care about crowd sizes etc none of these problems including Mueller wouldn't exist.

He just can't help himself, self incrimination is one of his biggest flaws.

The flaw in that plan is he's incapable of developing coherent policies let alone a plan to execute them.

He's playing a character. He isn't the character.

And the swamp is only getting bigger the longer Trump is around.
Trump draining the swamp is like a government that repaints lines on the road and tell us they are fixing our motorway. Nothing changes but they remain busy telling us they are changing.

Do you agree with that? Why is everyone squawking so much even since back before He got the Nomination?
