The Failing @nytimes quotes a senior White House official, who doesnt exist, as saying even if the meeting were reinstated, holding it on June 12 would be impossible, given the lack of time and the amount of planning needed. WRONG AGAIN! Use real people, not phony sources.

(8,923 posts)They would have to barricade the door for that to happen. He doesn't want all the attention to slip away from him.
He took himself out of the game and they are continuing without him.

(8,923 posts)First Kim baited him into a kneejerk cancellation, then turned around and had a private meeting with Moon, making it look like both of them are saying "fuck Trump, who needs him?"

(7,725 posts)he completed a Peace Deal when the Koreans themselves get back to talking. He'll happily accept the Nobel Peace prize as HIS own doing. For that to be possible, That suggests he believes a bunch of insulting tweets and threats (Of OUR blood by the way) Is ALL he had to do bc ...he's just that good, and influential.
How about we postpone the meeting to say....2021, shit? "We'll see. That might happen." What the hell? That's the strategy of this guy....move the time goalposts, and get by. "I want to talk to Mueller.....On my deathbed..". Postponing everything.
N Korea is self destructing he reaps his own personal glory and gets the benefit of previous DIPLOMATIC efforts, (the strategy of previous presidents), due to the nuke site contamination The strategy seems to be...stretch everything out as long as you can, golf like hell, (can you imagine what he bills the country for one night in the Presidential Suite"?? WHILE HE"S IN IT!), then look back at a "time span" to justify going forward his full term. "I'm right bc, look I've been a president since Jan 17. He can use that to justify his authority. Those Americans that think he's the guy to bet on, would YOU make a deal with him? Honestly? A president isn't supposed to act(?), while actively enriching himself on centuries of tradition, that America wasn't for sale or bribe. If you're conspiring w the Enemy. (those of you who say Russia's not our enemy....I'm tired of debating your ignorance), there's a few Fed and St criminal statutes that have been broken. And that's putting it mildly.
To repeatedly say the president was joking, or use some filibustering on a minor point as a comparison, and thus a complete vindication of their behavior. Has played out. The longer the American People wait for some turn around, we await at our peril. I've no reservation that Mr Mueller is working hard, at something. But at some point if you wait long enough, bringing charges of any kind is moot bc the damage is done. Harm that can never be undone. This is Memorial Day Weekend. What have OTHERS done for us, and what's our obligation to the future Americans who deserve a better Nation than before to be handed them. That's our social Pact. We are but renters of everything in life. In the final analysis, how we leave the place to our progenitor, is the most apparent way for historians to show, who 'the people' of America during the dt admin" and beyond. I hope history writes us as the best of what we know we all are. A gracious and honest and trustworthy people.
In my mind, the longer we wait to do or demand action, dither around and hand wring as the best course... the longer we have slept on our rights, and lost all their meaning, and are no longer able to assert them ourselves. Is THAT what the Founders envisioned? How much evidence do you/we need?
We were RIGHT there the last election. EVERYTHING was going to change to a Renaissance of new ideas. A Supreme Court Justice.
___remember that in your analysis...not only did mitch McConnell postpone the appointment of a supreme court justice, he helped rig elections and paid for the same with Russian money via the NRA. They took two branches of govt. THEY TOOK TWO BRANCHES OF GOVT. And w a complicit third branch, we need to kneel for a new message to Honor Our Country just for being our Country. PRE 2016.
Nothing less than a complete reversal and immediate dismissal of any and all collaborators, We Reilly need a new election now so they can't dumb the voter down by Nov.
Ps...has anyone seen or heard of any changes or security for voting machines? I haven't. REmember the next election dt has asked local thug repub to be at the polling places to "moniter the vote," Don't give him time to make all this ok, or poison the system and our resources so badly, that we will become some type of variety of Mad Max for centuries. We may not ever recover.
Online check for you local county and for "Indivisible" Get to know them and get to your Democratic Local meetings and get educated on how they run things. If it looks like 2016 all over again, speak up. We have way too much to lose. This weekend, if you see a protest...who's signs look like your own thoughts...turn the blinker on and pull in. If nothing else stand w the crowd bc it's an inalienable right to speak truth to power. Don't do anything illegal, but, start the process we ALL need to remember. IMHO.
I digress and ramble. Happy Memeorial Day Weekend everybody. Lurkers included.
