Obama killed Bin Laden. Trump killed Democracy.
I always find it weird how Hannity’s hairline starts like one inch above his eyebrows.
Is that top pic really from 2008? I don’t remember him ever looking that young. I know Fox News will age the hardiest of humans, but I would’ve thought cockroaches were immune.
That’s a much earlier picture. I found a few videos of him from 2008 on Youtube and he does indeed look much older.
edit - looks like it was 1996
I’m pretty sure hair technology has come a considerable way since then.
Kim Jong Un made a surprise visit to Beijing on his first known trip outside North Korea since taking power in 2011, three people with knowledge of the visit said.
Further details of his trip, including how long Kim would stay and who he would meet, were not immediately available. The people asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the information.
[…]
The U.S. appears to have had no advance knowledge of Kim’s visit. White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah told reporters on Monday that he couldn’t confirm reports of the trip and “we don’t know if they’re necessarily true.” A State Department spokesman, Julia Mason, responded to questions about the report with a single sentence: “We’d refer you to the Chinese.”“What I’ll just state, though, is that where we are with North Korea is in a better place than we used to be because the president’s maximum pressure campaign in conjunction with dozens of countries around the world has paid dividends and brought the North Koreans to the table,” Shah said.
Who is this Raj Shah and why is he doing the devil’s work today? Is SHS getting her weekly refresher course on lying through her teeth?
They have to occasionally deep clean her human suit.
I’m guessing President Xi is giving young Kim pointers on how to manipulate Trump, not that he probably needs many. Just tell him how smart and wonderful he is, and how you wish you could have sex with all the hot women he has had. Also to remind Kim that while more than 1/2 USA would dearly love for President Trump to experience a nuclear test first hand and up close and personal, it is really not a good idea.
Hey now, no need to bring his daughter into this. MOST of the women…MOST.
This shows what a strong position he’s in now. He can leave the country without any fear of a coup happening while he’s gone. Say what you will about him, but he’s pretty good at being a dictator.
Probably should reserve judgement on this until he has made the trip and returned.
I’m guessing he’s also getting confirmation and reassurance on Chinese support in the event of an American first strike.
I’m not terribly sure the Chinese are showing Kim much enthusiasm, though they are probably stuck more or less propping him up for the moment. Given a chance, I’m pretty sure the Chinese would ditch that regime in Pyongyang, if they could guarantee that whatever came next would satisfy their security interests. Beijing can’t be all that happy about the endless drain on their coffers that is North Korea.
Of course, with this trade war nonsense, Trump is pretty much forcing the Chinese to make nice with Kim, because the last thing they would do now is give us any sign that they might cooperate on North Korea.
Yeah, this actually seems pretty damned smart on Kim’s part.
They’ve never been happy with NK, but they consider a united Korea on their border a non-starter worth nearly any price to maintain. Add in Trump starting a fight with China and now they’re probably closer than they have been in decades.
So what if China just made Kim disappear on this trip, then just takes over NK? Is that even in the realm of possibility? I have to imagine the regime would crumble without him, or plagued with infighting or immediate talks to reunite with SK or merge with China?
I’m guessing that he’s finally killed off all his family members who would be viable replacements for him and he’s got people he can trust in firm control back home. It wouldn’t do the Chinese much good to disappear him if they don’t have a faction there in NK ready to pull off a coup. North Korea has also been developing a relationship with Russia in the past few years, so that might be another deterrent to the Chinese doing anything drastic.
