19. Boy, your signature gif of Nancy's sarcastic clap

[DesertRat]

22. It's amazing how often Nancy's clap fits into threads these days

2. Kick

3. bwaaahahahaha!!!

4. Great summation!

Now can we plant the big "L" for Loser on his forehead?

[littlemissmartypants]

5. Perfect. The president's an idiot. nt

[tanyev]

6. How come his hair looks brown coming off the plane and it's back to blond in the pics w/ Kim?

What’s really going on there?

[Ms. Toad]

30. I wondered that, too. n/t

7. The Art of Ordeal

What a negotiator. Trust everything your opponent tells you. Give him everything he wants. Praise him endlessly to the 'enemy of the people' press. One of them is working from The Art of War. The other from The Art of the Deal. It's not hard to tell who's read his Sun Tzu and who hasn't even bothered to read "his own" book.

8. He got played twice by this guy now. It's sort of amazing how dumb Trump is.

13. It's Like Watching Bugs Bunny Repeatedly Make A Fool Of Elmer Fudd nt

[unblock]

9. best pic though is donnie in the kiddie chair.

what an epic fail!

it's funny that they missed that, because that's exactly the sort of thing they love to attack democrats over.

had president obama or president hillary done that, they would have been all over it, insisting that they were demeaning the office the president, insulting the united states, etc....

10. Thanks, EarlG!

These satirical, pictorial mashups always make me smile

[erronis]

11. Makes me worry a bit more about Cohen's prediction that Dump won't go easily

when he knows he'll lose 2020.

[Sherman A1]

12. Yup

sums it all up very well.

[dchill]

14. Another classic!

16. havent watched the asshole walking down steps much but he looked decrepit doing that in korea....

hoping it gets worse

[JuJuYoshida]

17. Guys?

I'm starting to suspect that he's actually NOT good at deals.

[happybird]

26. ...

Ya got me. Coffee all up in the sinuses.

18. The walk out is now hailed as a Reagan Moment, but...

... an American Conservative has a better memory about 1986 and The Art Of The Deal then. Gorbachev had offered to eliminate all strategic forces, not just ballistic missiles. Reagan then countered that it would be fine with him if they could agree to eliminate all nuclear weapons. They almost had an agreement, but then president Ronald Reagan walked out, clinging to his Star Wars project:

What's interesting is that Reagan's decision not to give up on SDI is arguably one of the biggest missed opportunities in the history of arms control. Ever since, it has been hailed and built up in Republican mythology as an example of what Reagan got right dealing with the Soviets.

It would be easy enough to dismiss such selective memory of how Reagan related to Gorbachev as more of the usual ideological Reaganolatry that is unfortunately so common, but it becomes more meaningful when this distorted interpretation of Reagan's second term is used to mislead the audience into thinking that Reagan was opposed to diplomatic flexibility.

In fact, the failure of the Reykjavik summit encouraged flexibility on both sides.

Despite the apparent failure at Reykjavik the two parties resumed negotiations and the following year signed the INF treaty, totally eliminating the intermediate range missiles. By 1991 the two sides agreed on a START treaty that cut the US and Soviet nuclear arsenals by 80% over the next decade.

But they could have eliminated all nuclear weapons...

[duforsure]

20. How long before we find out this was all pre-planned by putin

And all about getting his sanctions lifted by acting like he's helping trump get a deal with kim soon. And kim will sign it but will ignore it anyway. Maybe a real estate deal for trump in MK coming too? I don't trust anything putin and trump and kim are involved in, because they are all corrupt, serial liars, and criminals.

[oldlibdem]

21. almost exact except you forgot dotard at the end of Kim's sentence!

23. K & R

24. Chump - you get nothing!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. OMGosh, I totally LOLed and then felt terrible, because of course, like it or not,

Donald represent us, and we're losing our shit all over the world.

28. The Art of the Deal

Trump's probably about the only person who could run North Korea any worse than Kim has.

[hibbing]

29. But they still love each other right? n/t
