    Florida's pushed their gun control up to the Senate. Age of ownership up to 21 and a three day waiting period is proposed. A step in the right direction, if it makes it. Although that might just lead to more 21 year-old school shooters.

    He saved that dead dad thing pretty well.

    This Korea stuff is good. Just imagine if he solved this by mouthing off on Twitter. Every 'expert' everywhere would be discredited, and he would probably get some sort of post-France Adolf Hitler confidence boost and become even worse.

    Hasn't NKs goal been to get to sit down with a US President for about 30 years? It allows them to say they're on equal footing with the US.

    Remember when Bill had to fly over there to pick up those to tourists they'd taken prisoner?

    The not sitting down policy has clearly been a roaring success.

    It will be as successful as the DACA, healthcare, immigration, and gun summits have been. This one may be mildly interesting because for the first time both parties will only care about how they can spin it.

    We all just have to accept the Norks have nukes and get on with life.

    That would be great.

    It is all pointless of course. Yet if 'Hillary' was the one talking to Kim, even if it was about the weather, everyone would be giving it large about how great of a diplomat she is.

    That is the appropriate fear in terms of a proliferation explosion but since weÂ’d have to give it to them it seems a small one.

    Obviously I donÂ’t think the Trump admin should do this because it is outside their competency, but if the desired result is denuclearization the problem was insoluble anyway.

    Just imagine if those of us on the left could ever start doing that with Trump? He doesn’t do details or policy so his admin is only dangerous on issues that other people in his admin care about. Just focus on all the graft they are up to while cutting themselves a tax break. We make it such hard work.

    According to the Associated Press, White House chief of staff John Kelly called Mr Tillerson on Friday and advised him to watch out for a presidential tweet about him.


    That's so lol if true (and I have no reason to believe it wouldn't be).

    Bolton in, McMaster out.

    Someone is getting bombed before mid-terms. Is it the Koreans? Iranians? Maybe a wild-card? Find out in 3-6 months.

    John Bolton wrote an article last month titled "The Legal case for Striking North Kora First".

    Given that Trump has also replaced his head lawyer with a conspiracy theorist clown, I'm thinking he'll try to start a war before the midterms and in the chaos will make moves against Mueller.

    According to the Michael Wolff book, there were three primary influences on Trump:

    Bannon, representing the fascist crazies.
    Priebus, representing the "mainstream" Republican position.
    Kushner, representing something of a Goldman Sachs Democrat view.

    I wonder if these decisions are a consequence of Jared Kushner declining in influence.

    @Henry Do you think America could lurch to authoritarianism (especially if Trump is reelected)? He seems to be burning all the checks and balances in place with his skeleton staff and off the cuff decisions.

    Depends what you mean. It's been becoming more "authoritarian" in some respects for a long time. I don't think he'll be able to do any serious damage to the institutions.

    I do love when Rick Santorum, someone who must be one of the genuinely unintelligent people to ever run for President, pops up. Today he's chastised the nationwide marches over this weekend as teens looking for other people to solve their problems and instead of marching for gun control, should learn CPR

    Isn't that the way those things always work? Corporation agrees that they've been bad ones but promise to be good from now on. Politicians give it the big 'un, pretending to have the people's interests at heart. Then once it is over everyone goes back to doing the same shit they have always done.

    Yeah. Hearings give you a chance to grandstand and be in front of cameras, even when the actual situation will go nowhere.

    The seventy-three different hearings about Benghazi was a good example of that.
