Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Bark louder, little dog.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Second rate reporter says what?

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d Like Two Supreme Leader Combos, A Glorious Leader With Cheese And A Side Of Kimche, And Supersize the Soju!

The intelligence estimate of what Kim Jong Un is and is not willing to negotiate has leaked! NBC has the details:

A new U.S. intelligence assessment has concluded that North Korea does not intend to give up its nuclear weapons any time soon, three U.S. officials told NBC News — a finding that conflicts with recent statements by President Donald Trump that Pyongyang intends to do so in the future.

President Trump is continuing to pursue a nuclear summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un even though the CIA analysis, which is consistent with other expert opinion, casts doubt on the viability of Trump’s stated goal for the negotiations, the elimination of North Korea’s nuclear weapons stockpile.

“Everybody knows they are not going to denuclearize,” said one intelligence official who read the report, which was circulated earlier this month, days before Trump canceled the originally scheduled summit.

In an odd twist, a list of potential concessions by North Korea in the CIA analysis included the possibility that Kim Jong Un may consider offering to open a Western hamburger franchise in Pyongyang as a show of goodwill, according to three national security officials.

Does The Trump Doctrine of “I will be treated fairly or else” play a role in all this? Yes it does!

It suggests Kim is interested in a peaceful gesture to an American president whose love of fast-food burgers is well known — and who, during the 2016 campaign, had said he wanted to talk nukes over a burger with the North Korean leader.

And I’ll also need an Eternal President of the DPRK happy meal too!

Open thread.

    I saw news earlier today that a North Korean delegation was heading to New York in preparation for the summit. My first thought was why New York and not DC?

    That Kim would never give up his nukes surprises absolutely no-one. The United States neo-con complex never forgets a slight, and our word currently is only as good as the next republican president. (Republicans bargain is bad faith, so their word is never good). Plus, Bolton and Trump, acting like Bevis and Butthead going “Libya…. heh heh heh, Libya” idiotically telegraphs EXACTLY what they want to do once NK gives up its nukes.

    @Calouste: UN is there. They have a diplomatic mission to the UN, so that’s where they’re going. They don’t have an embassy in DC.

    I’m sorry, but if it says Kim is unwilling to give up his nuclear bombs and get down on his knees and lick President Tapeworm’s ass, it can only be fake news.

    And what’s the Korean word(s) for “lying grifter”?

    @NotMax: got a Fitbit a few weeks ago for a work challenge. The sleep tracking has been quite the shocker. I’ve always been an insomniac but was horrified to learn just how little sleep I actually get.

    @Steve in the ATL: yeah, it’s scary how well the Fitbit tracks (non)sleep. Some days it helpfully tells me I’ve gotten 4 hours, and ignorance of how little good sleep I got was better for me.

    From the thread below. If you’ve got time and budget, check out the Columbia Restaurant. If only to stop at the bar and sip a mojito. Still the best one we’ve found in our travels.

    The remnants of Alberto were supposed to hit here and in Chicago Thursday, but now it’s predicted for tomorrow. At least the heat will break.

    The burger chain won’t have a “Big Kim”?

    On the other hand, McDonald’s should fit well in the D.P.R.K.:

    Fast-Food Blues: Workers Protest Low Wages, Sexual Harassment as McDonald’s Profits Soar
    At annual shareholders’ meeting, the fast-food chain’s tone-deaf executives fail to confront critical issues facing the company’s workers.

    @Calouste: The DPRK mission to the UN — their only diplomatic outpost in the US — is in NYC. They don’t have an embassy in DC. I don’t think they’re actually allowed to set foot anywhere else but there while in the US.

    It’s almost as if no-one did any advance diplomatic legwork on what the North Koreans wanted in exchange for a summit before agreeing to one. It’s almost like they were treating international nuclear arms negotiations like a third-rate Manhattan real estate deal.

    Trump eating actual kimchee? Ain’t gonna happen unless smothered with a bottle or two of very sweet ketchup. Yuk! I enjoyed great Korean food in DC, Annandale, VA (Koreatown), and Honolulu.

    @Ken: just guessing but he may have been a prolific record keeper…documented / recorded all his communications with his money laundering partners. May have also done like Roger Stone and kept documentation on his potential blackmail targets…

    Kim offers Trump that he can open up a branch of Trump University in Pyongyang. Trump agrees, lifts sanctions, and restores full diplomatic relations.
