==========
Anyone remember the college student who came in a year or two ago?
Her assignment was to find a blog on the other side of her beliefs and engage in the comment section, or something.
We had no idea who she was. Thought she was just a troll, and raked her over the coals. By the time we figured out she was probably genuine (if silly and kind of hilarious, unintentionally, of course), the art thread came up and she either had had enough of us and left, or she didn't understand that conversations move to new threads.
That was my favorite.

After posting those Asian Boss Youtube links last night I watched a few more that I hadn't seen before. One from May 2017 where both the N.K. defectors and S.K. average joes were convinced war was coming. They all agreed that with Trump there was a new sheriff in town unlike any the world has ever seen. It leaves no doubt that all of this happening is because of Trump and no one else could have brought this to bear.

I think that part of it is the ability of the artist to show of his technical expertise. Some of the better ones are absolutely amazing.
Then, it seems like some are expositive of certain portions of the culture. For instance, that citrus is rare and expensive, so it is obviously a wealthy person's table.

Maybe that's what Mark Kern meant when he said Trump seemed familiar, and comfortable, with the way business is done in Asia. I don't know what the differences are, but apparently they can be significant but easily overlooked until too late.

It's fascinating, and I think it's happening because pop culture, and the people who are part of it, always believe and react to Getting Something Done. Doesn't matter so much what that is, but they want to see something happen.
The left has allowed themselves to slide so far off into wanking ideological university professor land that the only "results" they believe in are forcing every to say "xhe" and whatever nonsense. Which of course pisses off anyone who's told to do it, except the wanking ideologists.
SO they have left this huge field of action open, where Trump is free to do ANYTHING good for anyone, for any reason, and it's a huge shock because Leftists Don't Do That Kind of Thing anymore.

I watched part of the interview with Rodman where he said he tried to tell the Obama administration that things were happening in NK and to pay attention and the Obama administration blew him off.
I sort of suspect the Trump administration listened because Trump has probably made millions of dollars based on tips from unlikely sources.
But, President Trump has no experience in diplomacy.
President Trump treats diplomacy like a business transaction, which is how it should be handled.

You have to remember that the left has invested everything they had into Trump failing to get a Summit with Kim because it makes obama look incompetent.
Heck the nyt went so far as to publish a story (lie) saying that Trump's cabinet told him it would be impossible to have the meeting on the 12th because they didn't have time to accomplish everything after Kim cancelled it the first time. They literally tried to derail the Summit by printing lies because they knew it would make Trump look good.
They are deathly afraid of November and what it is going to bring and they will literally make $hit up to hurt Trump in an effort to stop him from making any progress.
Now I am not saying Kim will honor the deal, but this is the most progress that anyone has ever made with North Korea and Trump did it without having to fly planes loaded with $$$$ to Kim in exchange for a meeting, and that is ass burning all liberals.

Mom adored Victorian/Edwardian table settings. I think it was Miss Manners who talked about surgical implements at the table. Mom worked very hard to get complete sets for all her granddaughters. Yes, the tomato server, but the coolest was the grape shears. I found a stash of fruit knives (that I thought were mini steak knives). Mom used to keep butter spreader samples of the sets she was collecting for her granddaughters on her desk so if one of the matching services called, she had it together.

Trump's idea of "winning a debate" is different from mine. I saw that long ago on the Apprentice. One player was wildly railing at another--really not making many actual *points*--and Trump took the guy's calm dismissal of his opponent as "losing".
But as Scott Adams explains in various pieces, it's actually more in sync with how the mass of humans think and how status is actually apportioned among human groups.
As I see it, a good portion of the world is not Kumbaya. And so they don't expect that a bargaining opponent has never demeaned them or denounced them. The idea that it's incongruous that the guy who demeaned Kim as "Little rocket man" should buddy up to him is yet another in a series of illustrations of the left's maladjustment to the way things really work, given their attachment and fetish for "how things should work".
The left has a real problem with how reality continually defies it. This of course is also the origin of their claim "reality has a liberal bias", because once again, they substitute wishes for analysis. And they will not confront reality before they are driven to denounce it.

Wasn't there some other stupid one that he and John Travolta did as old farts? I seem to recall it vaguely, there was a scene where one of them spills water in their lap at a restaurant and the waitress assumes he's wet himself and condescendingly tries to be discreet in her help.
It wasn't funny as intended, because the whole point was that these two fossils were trying to show the world that they were in fact still young and virile. It was funny because what I saw of the movie looked like two fossils method-acting as they tried to reprise old characters from 30 years ago.

Or screeching about keeping the status quo intact.
A status quo that has seen North Korea develop nuclear bombs, develop missile delivery systems that have become increasingly complex and capable of delivering warheads far outside their borders, and exporting nuclear weapons capacities to other hostile actors.
Helluva status quo there! Surely it wouldn't have led to a disaster costing millions of lives.

Actually, IIRC, Clifford did *not* call Reagan an amiable dunce, he said that one could *take* him for an amiable dunce. The same press that has distorted Trump's words into smear quotes simply edited Clifford's words to remove the parts that made it less of a weapon.
In fact, again IIRC, Clifford--if that's the guy I'm thinking of--was on some show where he specifically denied that his opinion of Reagan was "amiable dunce". He said that it was his first impression.

One more thing about KJU. While I know @potus is trying to butter
him up to get a good deal, #KJU is NOT a talented guy. He inherited the
family business from his dad grandfather. He is a total weirdo who
would not be elected assistant dog catcher in any democracy.

So insightful Marco....

Keen insight there lil Marco. You should be in charge of something. I'll have my guy call your guy.

I'm sure there's been tons of debate on this, but I've got to say...
...Lil Kim doesn't strike me as someone who has the stomach for wide-scale genocide and the slow agonizing death of thousands, as his father and grandfather did.
Yes yes, I know. There are still hard labor camps. He's had political enemies killed. Violently. Warbier came back comatose. I don't dismiss these at all.
I do wonder how much of that was directly him vs. how much of it were the upper echelons of his own "old guard," leftovers from his dad's administration who are used to the old ways of doing things, and likely *do* have a taste for these sorts of monstrous activities.
Lil Kim grew up around this shit, and to some degree, it has been forced upon his as "normal." I think that he's either still young enough, or saw enough of the outside world, that he hasn't let the small spark of decency that normal, non-psychopath humans are born with have get snuffed out yet.
I pray that I'm right on this, and that there is still a spark of decency in him, enough that he's actively interested in turning the page and leading his country out of death-camps and hard labor and daily doses of fear.
It can't be done in a week, though. Read stories of NorK defectors, and how hard it is for them to comprehend the outside world once they escape. Read stories of old Soviet defectors in the 80's that escaped and how hard it was for them to comprehend something as simple as STOCKED GROCERY STORE SHEVLES. They thought it was a joke, it was such a foreign notion. You can't do this to an entire country that has been brainwashed on a multi-generational level. It's going to take time, or your going to break people's minds and wind up with messes and zealots and people actually wanting to go back to the old way.

He'd get elected to Congress and resign during his third term and ultimately get a prison sentence for sexual assault.

many years. I use mine, too. I have my grandfather's as well, which is
kind of fussy-looking, but I will use it sometimes.
The tomato/cranberry server gets used every Thanksgiving, anyway!
Posted by: bluebell at June 12, 2018 10:51 AM (oMtOd)
I use my tomato/cranberry server every Thanksgiving, too! I love my mother's silver.
When I was in high school, my maternal grandmother asked me to select a silver pattern I liked, and she would buy me pieces for Christmas and my birthday.
When I moved to ATL, I had just been in an apartment for a few days and hadn't gotten rental insurance, and someone broke in and stole every piece of my silver. I'm still furious at myself and heartsick. Anyhow, I cherish my mother's and other family pieces.

Jim Acosta is getting grief about yelling out to Kim "so are you going to give up your nuclear weapons, sir?"
Actually, I think that's a fair question.
Posted by: WisRich at June 12, 2018 10:51 AM (G0vdT)
Which should not be used in a scream-out during delicate negotiations. Kim can't look like a pussy in front of the people he starves to death. What is he supposed to answer there? Acosta needs to act like something other than the human-selfie he is.

Trump already did the "insult Whoa Fat publicly to get him to the negotiating table." Next step, which he just did, was "treat him nicely once he's at the negotiating table, because now you've set up a carrot and stick / reward - punishment association in the subjects mind."
And that's how you cultivate someone who is difficult, but who you have some leverage over.
What is the point of Rubio's comment? It looks as though he's read about what Trump has done, but he doesn't understand how it works at all, so he's just copying everything Trump did 6 months ago to try to make him look like he has something to say. But he doesn't, Rubio just showed he's a complete idiot. It's the wrong message at the wrong time because Rubio has no clue as to how any of this works.

Yes -- he tells us the story of his horrible toothache and how he couldn't see a dentist until the next week, and none of the over-the-counter pain meds work. The druggist tells him, "Try a Midol." He does -- and the pain goes away. "And I tried to make the pain come! And it wouldn't!"
He rushes down to another drugstore, and cries, "Gimme some Midol, and it's for ME!"
The druggist shrugs. "That's okay, we get a lot of weird guys in here --"
