@hank- What's to "gloat" about? Our Maximum Leader has simply gone down the same road as quite a few previous presidents. With undoubtedly, the same results. Great theater, though. Come to think of it, that's enough to make him gloat.
OK, try Breitbart, then:
…Beijing: Trump Has ‘Unrealistic Ideas’…
…Will Kim Take the Money?…
"President Donald Trump praised North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un as a “funny guy” who “loves his people” on Tuesday after concluding his summit with …
Here are the complete actual details (akin to "facts", a concept very much under attack these days) of the agreement:
1) The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new U.S.–DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the …
The North Koreans screwed up and accidentally caved in their main underground nuke test site. Being next to China, they can't test above ground. Being broke, it will take a very long time to build another underground site.
Kim makes lemonade: in a …
"I’m proudest when we as Americans treat each other with dignity and respect and when we support our friends around the world - particularly those who have stood by America in the past. (Hint: It ain’t Russia.)"
@hank- Right on!
I wonder what it is that's so hard to understand, or leads people to totally dismiss information sources such as Sven's link, above? The information available from that link is widely available from many other sources as well, and has been discussed…
@Sven- Thanks- that article sums up the situation rather nicely. A problem though, is that some individuals, including even some here on MFO where you would expect better, simply refuse to acknowledge such information. It's like trying to reason wit…
@MJG "his policies?" What "policies"? Are you accepting his infantile temper tantrums where he reverses and contradicts what he just said the day before as "polices"? One of the main problems is that he has no "policy" other than self-aggrandizement.
Let us Pray. I'm not a great believer in God, but we're going to need all the help we can get before this is over.
And I'm serious. I've been thinking the same thing for quite a while now. We're asking the military to disobey direct orders in the h…
@VintageFreak- From what I've seen so far, the "technology" is about at the level of when mass mailings first attempted to "personalize" by being addressed to you. This, if you remember, produced some interesting artifacts, along the lines of "Dear …
Following are excerpts, edited for brevity, from a current Washington Post commentary:
The simple message from the trustees of Social Security and Medicare:
Yesterday, the trustees of our two big social insurance programs — Social Security and Med…
"I'm wondering when media companies will deploy robots to write articles for them."
Some already have, with short financial "articles", to a primitive degree. So far the result isn't pretty.
@David_Snowball- David, thanks much for your non-financial comments this month. I'm not going to be specific, but I suspect that you'll know which ones.
Speaking of the Koch brothers, here's some info from The Washington Post:
"[T]he Koch brothers’ political network is stepping into the breach, launching what its executives are framing as a multiyear, multimillion-dollar campaign to knock down the …
"I keep hoping they'll put out a hybrid small/mid pickup, but it's not happening."
Me too. Consumer Reports isn't too thrilled about the Tacoma, although in fairness they never really have been. I really like our 2009 V6 Tacoma- it's been completel…
I've been reading this left-wing crap all of my life. It's like an Echo-Chamber in here! The Kochs and the American Enterprise Institute are all well-known hate-America Marxist-Leninist rats. (Well, rats, anyway.) :)

I'll have to check with Ted and Maurice, but it's highly likely that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is just another left-wing Marxist-Leninist America hater.
"Bought a Chev. S-10 when they debuted in the early 80s and traded it in 6 months later"
@Hank- Based on my extensive personal experience with an S-10 that was probably one of the smartest things you ever did. Although mine was an early 2000s model…
"we love it because he's telling the truth"
How can you say that with a straight face? That man doesn't know the meaning of the word, nor does he care.
