1. You have already been humiliated. Don't allow Kim to salt the wound.

The Nobel Piece of Work Prize is still within reach.

2. Didn't everybody but Spanky see this coming?

NK has always played these games, but obviously Spanky thought they wouldn't mess with him, since he's the Great Negotiator. Surprise, Charlie Brown; Lucy pulled the football away again.

7. everyone plays these games. it's the negotiation before the negotiation.

back in the days of u.s.-soviet nuclear treaty talks, there was always this huge sort of dance leading up to the negotiations.

always arguments over the height and shape of the table, the temperature of the room, the height and distance apart of the podiums for the press conference after, all sorts of little things like that.

the talks would be suspended for months and then back on and so on over seemingly tiny matters like this.

but there's a point to this silly dance. each side is testing the other, putting on their game face and seeing how the other side negotiates. if handled poorly, one side may tip their hand and signal weakness or desperation. talks can be doomed by being overly insistent on a small point like the height of the table, but talks can also be doomed by being overly compliant to the other side's demands, as this may make them unwilling to compromise later, wrongly thinking you'll eventually cave.



the only real difference is north korea is known for making far more brazen and outrageous demands as part of their dance.

i'm sure donnie has done this sort of thing himself as a businessperson. it's just that he's so used to being able to bully everyone else, he doesn't know how to deal with other people who know how to dance as well.

3. Kim has a better haircut also.

Maybe Donny will have a Kim-do pretty soon.

4. At least he doesn't have to resort to a bizarre combover

to hide a massive bald spot.

5. It would be nice if all those Republicans

that nominated Trump for the Nobel Prize because of North Korea had to pay some sort of fee for a joke of a nomination?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. I wonder if the Nobel Committee has an entry fee

to discourage frivolous nominations? If they don't, they should.

[NewJeffCT]

9. good question

of course, knowing Republicans, they'd just charge it to their donors.

11. "Survey says ..... !" A gameshow approach to foreign policy. How quaint.

[MontanaMama]

12. Maybe Spanky McDotard could still be considered

for the Nobel Pee Prize? He's still got that going form him...
