Oh karma, you art thou a true bitch. OMG must be rolling over in his banned little grave after posting so, many, times, the picture of Bill Clinton's illegitimate child.
Why the new National Enquirer story matters — whether or not Trump fathered an illegitimate child.

If this happens folks, this means President Trump could be on track to be one of the greatest Presidents ever... Reunification of Korea, denuclearization of NK will go down in history and add to his accomplishments and successes so far. #MKGA
.........................
North and South Korea reportedly set to announce official end to warAhead of a summit next week between North Korean premier Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-In, lawmakers from the neighboring states were thought to be negotiating the details of a joint statement that could outline an end to the confrontation.
Pyongyang and Seoul have technically been at war since the 1950-1953 Korean conflict ended with a truce — and not a peace treaty.

- Absolutely nothing to do with China, of course. Nothing whatsoever! Trump is fucking the US in Asia and globally - you're too near-sighted to see.detritus

- Koreans at peace is good news. But unification can't happen. NK is politically/ culturally totally opposite of SK.********
- Dunno if you ladies caught that the other day, but Trump just slapped Russia and they blinked.robotron3k

Interior Secretary claims to be a geologist, despite the evidence
It’s been challenging trying to keep up with all of the various controversies surrounding Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, but CNN uncovered a new one that’s surprising, even for one of the most scandal-plagued members of Donald Trump’s cabinet.

Serious question: Will this work in the US?
I have been dying for the Dems to be the Dems of old, and here are some people taking the party back to the 1920s and 1930s. It would be awesome if they could win this way.
Can it? Or does one word just freak people out so much? Why can't capitalism coexist with democratic socialism?
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/…
‘Yes, I’m Running as a Socialist.’ Why Candidates Are Embracing the Label in 2018
This is exactly the script I want them to follow:
“Yes, I’m running as a socialist,” Mr. Bynum said. “I’m a far-left candidate. What I’m trying to do is be a Democrat who actually stands for something, and tells people, ‘Here’s how we are going to materially improve conditions in your life.’”
- tough to say, but my opinion is it won't work. my understanding is that more people fall closer to the center rather than on a far fringe.capn_ron
- #magarenderedred
- I think it can work in left-leaning cities. Here in Seattle we elected a Socialist Alternative member to city council.yuekit
- The question is what does socialism really mean? Just slightly further left than Democrat? There are about a thousand different definitions.yuekit
- I think his description of the SDA is perfect. I don't consider it far left at all. He's not saying all the factories will be collectives.allthethings
- "Many socialist candidates sound less like revolutionaries and more like traditional Democrats who seek a return to policies in the mold of President Franklin Dyuekit
- Roosevelt’s New Deal." That sounds about right. It's not really socialism in the worker ownership sense, just a stronger welfare state.yuekit
- It's an odd situation in the US, we donate more to charity than any country in the world but think socialism is synonymous with nazism.mandomafioso
- As long as we adhere to capitalism for economics, I think that democratic socialism (Scandi-/German-styl... must remain the necessary ...Continuity
- ... social construct to balance the needs of people and economy.Continuity
- ^^^ agree. It's getting the capitalists to see that a strong safety net is good for everybody is the problem. The hard-shell...allthethings
- ...Rs view a safety net as taking away "their" money. But they don't say anything about giving their money to the military-industrial complexallthethings
- Americans (people I suppose) are lazy and suckers for propaganda. This will further divide the country. It's a slippery slope. We don't want "real" socialismformed
- S will have to be clearly defined to be effective, otherwise Tman and other's will just point and say "see? Socialist. They want to take ALL your moneyformed
- and give it to people that don't even try to work."
I wouldn't vote for that either. Show me a reasonable middle ground, not more extremes that divide.formed

“This weekend and today there is a scramble in the White House as they read this document and it sinks in that denuclearisation is not all they thought it was,” he said.

Anyone want to make some animated gifs you'll probably get famous off of? I don't have the time at all, but the more I hear Trump and Republicans claim that "black unemployment is at the lowest it's ever been" or that the economy is at the highest it's been, I wonder... do they even consider acknowledging the eight years that precede whatever change has occurred under Trump's administration?
Case in point: black unemployment since 2010:
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/…Someone needs to make a nice animated gif, maybe a better looking chart, that shows the following:
- First screen: chart showing change since Trump took office, with the heading "You don't get this..." that only shows the recent change, with a label "black unemployment under Trump"
- Second screen: chart showing the full reduction since 2010, highlighting the Obama admin years, with the heading "...without this", with the label "black unemployment under Obama."
- Third screen: text that reads "Thanks Obama!"
--
You get the idea. Some of you have far better gif and visual design chops, I'd love to see this made and I don't doubt that if you shared it the right way you'd see fame. Who's up for it?- "Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for...nb
