Anyone else dreading the Trump-Kim June 12th summit as much as I am?

Its probably back on. This will make the American sheepie led on by Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, Sean Hannity, and Wolf Blitzer drool all over the 2 ‘dear leaders’ for a week.

It will almost make me vomit! Not sure what’s worse, the Republican National Convention week every 4 years or this!

1. I'm still not convinced it will happen.

Kim wants it, but Spanky wants it more - and Kim knows it.

3. Kim told the SK president per an AP alert

Saturday night that he was going to completely eliminate all of his nuclear weapons and end the state of war that exists between the 2 countries

5. NK always cheats on their deals - they've been doing the Lucy with the football routine

for 60 years, at least. They're no more reliable than Trump.

6. I agree... cept the part about NK, or anyone for that matter, being no more

reliable than BLOTUS.

4. I think Trump wants it more now because of what OP said

For an incredibly narcissistic guy he'll probably even cave in to some of Kim's demands just for the news headlines.

2. We just need to keep asking the "base"

"Do you really love Kim Jong Un? Really? Trump is debasing himself for him. It's embarrassing. We're the greatest country in the world, and Trump is begging for a petty tinpot dictator to love him."

7. The only thing I'm worried about

is that Spanky's approval ratings will rise high enough for him to think he has a mandate to do any crazy thing he wants. I wasn't as interested in politics 15-16 years ago as I am now, but it felt like that's what the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld cabal did after Dubya's huge post-9/11 poll boost. So many lives and places were destroyed because of this. As long as that does not happen (fingers crossed and boots on the ground for us to take back the House in November), I actually hope for peace on the Korean peninsula even if that gives Spanky a "here's your Nobel now shut up and leave us alone" prize.

8. Termed by some experts as a "goat rodeo"

Here, from earlier this week: https://upload.democraticunderground.com/100210653128
(It didn't get enough attention, especially the Urban Dictionary's definition of "goat rodeo".)
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Goat%20Rodeo

Goat Rodeo

A situation that is hopelessly fucked up. The worst of three stages of goat-ness. First is the Goat Rope, defined else where.

Then there is the utilitraian Goat Fuck. This normally requires a serious amount of work to unfuck.

Lastly, there is the Goat Rodeo. The worst of the three, it is beyond even profanity. It describes a situation that involves many individuals' screw ups, and implies that the fuck up is already well underway, meaning that there is no hope in stopping the mess.

Usually said with a defeated tone:

Ready to go to this Goat Rodeo?

It's gonna be terrible.

9. Remember the faux outrage about Obama "bowing" to world leaders?

Just wait. If this actually happens, Trump will practically fellate Kim in gratitude for the photo op.
