US-North Korea: Trump and Kim Jong-un to meet at DMZ (Live)

[Right_in_Virginia]

She didn't appear with him at the G20 and was absent from the luncheon.  Media is reporting FLOTUS has been a no show.

Isn't it 'funny" how the media reports when Melania doesn't attend something .... but hardly a (positive) mention when she does @libertybele   

FLOTUS was not scheduled to go on this turnaround trip to Japan.  Since there are no media reports, I'm assuming she's in a privacy bubble with Barron.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Why Ivanka??  Is she filling in for FLOTUS? 

No @libertybele she's not filling in for FLOTUS.  Ivanka was scheduled to and gave speeches at the G20 on women in the workforce and participated in an economic conference in SK.   Other than the speeches, she kept a rather low profile, especially for her.

True.  Maybe she just decided to stay home with her son!  God forbid.

Damn Fake News and their attendance reporting!!!

[edpc]

Wow. You never, ever disappoint.

Well, don’t worry. The results of this farce surely will. Behind the scenes, where the real negotiations are taking place, nothing is changing. The Norks still want sanctions relief, without any declaration of their stockpiles and no real steps toward denuclearization. If a democrat was doing this, he/she would be rightfully mocked over the empty spectacle. When did it become OK for us to fall for this platitudinous nonsense?

I think something needs to be said for President Trump meeting with Kim on his own turf.  Something that hasn't been done.  Kim wants to be recognized and Trump has at least sat down and talked with him.  I see that as a positive.

Report of this possibly earning President Trump the Noble Peace Prize:

So... Trump shouldn't meet with Kim because nothing is changing? Not sure what you're suggesting.

Then you’re being buffaloed by the sideshow.

I’m suggesting it’s a sham. When the real talking is being done, it’s a different story. This report is from a whole three days ago.

A "report" from US News & World Report from 3 days ago is worth zilch at this point.

Fine. Here’s a story from BLP, which is the right’s equivalent of HuffPo, with the same bellicose quote from the DPRK delegates.


Relations between North Korea and the United States have worsened considerably in recent weeks, as Chairman Kim Jong-un has gone on the offensive against members of the Trump administration.

“It would be difficult to look forward to the improvement of bilateral relations and denuclearization of the Korean peninsula as long as American politics are dominated by the policy-makers who have an inveterate antagonism towards the DPRK,” North Korea’s statement read, referring to itself as the acronym for Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

“If anyone dares to trample over our sovereignty and the right to existence, we will never hesitate to pull a muscle-flexing trigger in order to defend ourselves,” they added.

None of these "reports" are worth a damn, you should know that.  (Both when they were written and more so today.)

Unless someone has been read in on Trump's discussions with Pompeo since the private meeting with Kim today, they have nothing but speculation (i.e., guesses, wishes, and desires) on the form and content of the next round of negotiations.

Things changed radically in the past 10 days: Xi -- Kim -- Xi -- Moon -- Xi -- Trump -- Moon -- Trump -- Kim

Really? Tariffs have been lifted? Kim turned over a warhead for inspection? That’s radical change. Right now, we have the status quo, with a couple photo ops and some empty words from known exaggerators/liars.

You know damn well what changed in that chain above.

Just watch how it unfolds over the next few months.

[Wingnut]

Kinda cool.   You don't see stuff like this everyday.  Oh wait....we have never seen stuff like this in like when...ever. 

Trump stock rises.  NT'ers stock and credibility takes  another slide down the crapper.  How high is the shit down there anyway boys and girls.

    We've brought in more Bigly equipment @The Ghost



   IMHO, This was truly a Historic photoop

Well, feel free to post links to all of the fantastic things that have transpired, that negate the things said, in the two day ‘old’ articles. The USMCA was so great, they didn’t even bother voting on it, last year, when they still held the majority. Despite what Trump says, there’s no China trade deal coming. He doesn’t even know what a memorandum of understanding is.

Stay tuned, it is going to be something to behold!

It's touch and go, you are going to find news articles that go against and with the current.

As said, this guy tweets most significant NK stories daily, he's really helpful: https://twitter.com/BuckTurgidson79  A lot of articles from South Korea in English.

This website is called 38/North: https://www.38north.org/

Some things have been reported before that the administration says, "that's okay because of such and such a reason".

So, it's something to keep your ear to the ground on, I think over all things are going in a positive direction.

[edpc]

Stay tuned, it is going to be something to behold!

 

Yeah, it’ll be fan-effing-tastic, when the deal includes pulling troops out of SK, abandoning Taiwan, and observing the Nine Dash Line.

2 stories going different directions here:

US 'hell-bent' on hostility despite talks, North Korea says

North Korea has accused the US of being "hell-bent on hostile acts", despite a recent agreement between the two countries to resume nuclear talks.

Pyongyang's delegation to the United Nations said on Wednesday that the US was "obsessed with sanctions".

This comes days after the countries' two leaders held a historic meeting in the heavily fortified demilitarised zone which divides the two Koreas.
