"N. Korea says it won’t denuclearize unless US removes threat
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Thursday it will never unilaterally give up its nuclear weapons unless the United States first removes what Pyongyang called a nuclear threat."
LOL at Donald Trump's negotiation skills.

Do any of the Trump defenders here have the courage to defend his decision to shut down the government over his request for five billion dollars in taxpayer money to build the wall?
He told us Mexico would pay for it, you believed him then and you still believe him now?
Now he says that the money saved/earned from the new trade agreement will pay for it. No one seriously thinks that will happen, but even if it does come true, that money saved/earned would still be 5 billion dollars extra coming in, wall or no wall. The trade deal is signed, the wall has nothing to do with it.
Anyone? Y'all been silent on this issue.
- Meanwhile, a lot of hardworking taxpayers aren't being paid, many of whom will never get that money paid back to them (contractors, etc).nb
- That would require independent thinking. So no, I don't think that's been considered.formed

It is really sad and disturbing to see the U.S. government taken over by extremists. People completely ignorant of basic facts and logic.
I'm talking about this woman, Alexandra Ocasio Cortez. If this is the future of the Democrat party they are going to be out of power for a long time..

Since we're talking about us Dems...we need progressive candidates...whip smart, genuine, charismatic, and people who can't be characterized by Trump (if he' still there) as swampy, career politicians. Personally, I'd vote for Kamala Harris and Beto O'Rourke (or vice versa) in a heartbeat.
On the GOP side, I still can't believe they're not dumping Trump. He's gotten them their tax cuts and judges, it seems to me they'd be in a lot better shape entering 2020 with Pence with a year of the Presidency under his belt. Why they intend to discourage a primary challenge is beyond me.
- The GOP is too afraid to lose Trump's base, because that's almost all they have left.kirshar12
- Interesting that you picked those two names.. I'm seeing a lot of pushback against the idea of a Beto candidacy from the activist left.yuekit
- The thinking being that he might be a good campaigner, but actually has a pretty conservative voting history. And lacks the record of someone like Warren oryuekit
- Bernie Sanders.yuekit
- More generally you see a divide between the center left (which tends to be Baby Boomers) who just want a return to "normalcy" and favor candidates likeyuekit
- Beto and Joe Biden... vs the activist left and younger voters who want something different.yuekit
- yuekit gets itcolin_s
- I think the 'conservative voting history' thing has been largely debunked. He has voted his constituents' interests, as would be normal.allthethings
- Biden had a very center-right voting record back in the day. He was a good VP, and I found him appealing during the 08 and 12 campaigns, but he would not be aallthethings
- good choice for 20. Warren is great on banks, but they're both too told.allthethings
- I'm thinking the Dems need a better strategy for the white candidates like Jose Biden, Miguel Romney, Isabella Warren, y La Hillary to get the votes...robotron3k

In terms of Democrats, Warren is one of the better ones. But she's still a democrat - and her economic policies that are 'progressive' seem just slightly to the left of neoliberal pro-globalist policies. Like she wants outright capitalism, just a more regulated version of it.
Obama shilled the same note for a hot minute but was obviously in deep with Wall Street even before his election and at this point I just won't trust a Democrat who claims to be for labor but avoids any association with socialism.
It's gonna be interesting to see how this election plays out-everyone thinks Trump has no chance at a second term but I could easily see the left fracturing between those who feel it's been dragged to the right of center and the older big-money liberals who want a Clinton-esque status quo and didn't learn from the last time around.

- I think it's an unavoidable confrontation...I mean putting aside the capitalism vs. socialism thing the capture of the Democratic party by corrupt interests isyuekit
- a very real phenomenon. I mean look at how Chuck Schumer recently dismissed the idea of Medicare for all out of hand...he's supposed to be the leader of theyuekit
- "left" party and that policy is supported even by a majority of Republicans in polls lol.yuekit
- Unfortunately because Trump is such a shitshow it's allowed the corrupt establishment to temporarily look good in comparison.yuekit
- I think right now Trump has a verrrry good chance at a second mandate, the Dems have no one to oppose him. They need to start looking like they have a spine orzarkonite
- no one is going to get convinced that change = better.zarkonite
- And as far as socialism is concerned, that's going to depend on the new crop of representatives in the house and how well they fend for themselves.zarkonite
- Agree with yuekit. And I think Trump can win if the Dems don't get this one right. Beto is someone who can articulate what he stands for without being off-allthethings
- putting. Being genuine is the most important thing. It's why Warren would have real trouble.allthethings
- Not saying he's a bad guy but...seems to me the danger of a Beto O'Rourke candidacy is that he becomes an empty vessel for various interest groupsyuekit
- due to his lack of policy and track record. That could be good or bad depending on who's backing him I guess.yuekit
- Right now you see groups like "the Third Way" or whatever they're called which is pretty much a corporate donor group enthusiastic about him and I don't thinkyuekit
- it's unreasonable for people on the left to be somewhat skeptical.yuekit
- OTOH if he is backed by grass roots donors, and he comes out with strong policy, and puts someone like Sanders or Warren as VP, then I think it can work.yuekit
- No one votes on policy, it's a personality contest. Think of Reagan, W or Trump. None of them were more competent than their opponents... it's a show and youzarkonite
