An historic day. An unbelievable day. So many possibilities.
NK has such a dark past, so many human rights abuses; can Trump really coax them in the direction of peace and prosperity?
The brutality of the NK leadership can't be forgotten, but it is possible for them to evolve beyond that. That is my hope for the people of NK, and the world.
We're a long way from that, but each journey begins with a first step. President Trump has taken that step.
Kim Jong-un...your move, sir.

I wonder if part of the deal could be Acosta for the nukes. Not to be shot or anything, just to make big rocks into smaller rocks for a while or forever.

Hey, if you are going to trade him, you really shouldn’t put any conditions on what they do with him. Leave it up to their own best judgement.

Why did they even let that idiot in? It's Singapore, maybe Acosta will get arrested for whistling, or chewing gum, or just being a liberal tool.

Yeah, way to go, Jimmy. Show 'em how it's done, ace.
I think he was the still shouting questions when Trump and Kim were having their signing ceremony. Everybody else knew they should just STFU and watch/listen, but he's gotta make it all about him as usual.

CNN and MSNBC anchors look crestfallen. They are already spinning this historic event to make Trump look like he lost. If ever there was a defining moment starkly showing what bias there is in the media this is it.

I watched some of the don (sour!) lemon show last night and every guest was chomping at the bit to rip DT.
NK success may be curtains for dems for 2018 and ensure a second term for DT.

This moment is the lowest of the low as far as I'm concerned with the media. I was watching the local news and a "Local expert" was saying Trump has given up a lot but gotten nothing in return.
For the first time, I heard the result which was signing the denuclearization pact and, more importantly, the return of US remains from the Korean war. Never mind the pact, I started to tear up about hearing the immediate start of returning the remains.
Screw the media.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

The agreement for the return of the remains of ~5300 US soldiers is huge.

I was wondering what the people of NK must be thinking about all this.
How much are they being told ?
for years they have heard of the American devils and how they will be crushed
Here is a CNN report that the NK message may be changing
How goddamn pathetic is this! I hope Trump took a minute to tell Un that much of the reporting on this would be dog shit. Hopefully he'll tune into FOX to get a real newscast. These fucks need to be skull-stomped!

Yeah, the libs are desperately trying to down-play the significance of the Trump/Kim accord. Midterm elections are imminent, and President Trump’s progress on this very thorny problem bodes well for Republicans. Such a contrast with Zippy’s bumbling failure.
Kim’s hand was forced when President Trump coerced China to enforce economic sanctions on NK.
Serious about crackers.

Dennis Rodman has said that after he returned from NK five years ago, he had a message from Kim for the White House, and that neither Obama nor none of his staff had the slightest interest in hearing the message.
This triumph of President Trump might have belonged to Obama, had Obama not been so arrogant and incompetent.
Besides, the Jew-hating, radical Muslim-loving Obama wanted to stick it to Israel with his love affair with the psychopaths in Iran. He couldn't be bothered with trying to disarm some guy in Asia when he had the chance to give nuclear weapons and money to Iran to kill all the Jews.
