Trump: Kim Jong Un and I 'Fell in Love'

Source: daily beast




1. JUST THE TWO OF US 2 hours ago

Mike Theiler/Reuters

President Trump told a crowd of supporters in West Virginia on Saturday night that he and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “fell in love” after overcoming early hostilities. “He wrote me beautiful letters and they’re great letters. We fell in love,” he said, joking that he knew he’d get flak from the press for such “unpresidential” comments. Even as North Korea cast fresh doubt on denuclearization negotiations on Saturday and lamented a lack of trust in Washington, Trump insisted, “We’re doing great with North Korea.” “We were going to war with North Korea. Millions of people would have been killed. Now we have this great relationship,” he said. Trump’s comments come after North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho told the UN General Assembly there’s “no way” Pyongyang will dismantle its nuclear program as long as it remains under U.S. sanctions. “The recent deadlock is because the U.S. relies on coercive measures which are lethal to trust-building,” Ri told the assembly...............................

would end her.

We are done, broken, way beyond fixing, UNLESS every person who ever uttered or thought NOT voting for ANY democrat was doable changes their thinking.

Saw it here yesterday, people willing to give seat in WV to repubs because they dont like Joe.

The party with one more seat decides everything, the party with one less is along for the ride and has nothing to say about anything ever

when are poeple gonna learn

Atrocities Under Kim Jong-un: Indoctrination, Prison Gulags, Executions (The New York Times): With the meeting of President Trump and Kim Jong-un of North Korea on Tuesday in Singapore, human rights groups are watching for Mr. Trump to bring up North Korea’s widespread crimes against humanity. Mr. Kim rules with extreme brutality, making his nation among the worst human rights violators in the world.

In North Korea, these crimes “entail extermination, murder, enslavement, torture, imprisonment, rape, forced abortions and other sexual violence, persecution on political, religious, racial and gender grounds, the forcible transfer of populations, the enforced disappearance of persons and the inhumane act of knowingly causing prolonged starvation,” concluded a 2014 United Nations report that examined North Korea.

Kim tied his uncle to a post and blew him to kingdom come with artillery. He is know to have murdered many. Lately, he had an officer shot to death by 100 prisoners for giving his troupes extra rations. Trump's response: I love the guy. I have no doubt that if he was given the same authority he would massacre the Democrats. Trump is an evil person. A person without a conscience who takes delight in stomping on people. He can fully identify with Kavanaugh and his derelict friend who thought it was hilarious to assault a young teenager. Any sympathy that he shows is just as sincere as his faithfulness to his wife. His affairs with porn stars and playboy bunnies is just as damaging as his physical abuse of his first wife. How she continues to life with this evil monster is a mystery to me. I guess a lot of people can be bought.

It's just so important to Trump that the world's dictators love him. He couldn't care less about our historical allies. He outwardly insults and berates them, but the world's dictators? He wants to be their Valentines.

And the Trumptards consume every word he speaks with undying love and admiration. They're all as traitorous as the orange shit goblin himself.
