So back on topic.

The House Republicans went "WTF?" to the White House.  You can really see the friction in the party.  Would be interesting if they find out that Trump has been waiving so many security checks.

"What?  No, I trust the guy. He's the best, the best.  Totally trustworthy.  No no, you don't have to worry, he'd never sell secrets to our enemies.  Just give him a pass, it's fine. It's fine."
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Trump released the democrat's memo.
Redacted, of course, so all the info that you'd want to know about alternate sources was removed.  Cause Dems.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/01/trump-puts-nra-on-defensive-with-stunning-gun-comments.html

Trump: "Let's take their guns before due process."
Trump: "You people are afraid of the NRA."
Trump: "Work with Democrats.  Get their stuff in."

Everyone else: WTF?

But by Friday, the White House said "Nah, Trump met with the NRA leaders and backed out of everything he just said."

Mighty suspicious if you ask me. Then again, pretty much everything about the Trump administration seems pretty suspicious.

He said he was summoned to a hearing before the grand jury, and will not show up. I'm not a lawyer, but isn't that contempt of the court?

This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space. If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you will not go to space today.

Well shit.
I gotta give Trump props on this.  I guess threatening North Korea with fire and destruction actually worked.  Go figure.

What makes you think it’s Trump’s “diplomacy” that carved the path for this?

2 Reasons.
1. It's actually happening.  I mean, why would Kim Jong Un even suggest it if he didn't feel pressured/threatened to do it?  (Except in the case where he wants to assassinate Trump)

2. From the article:
"I explained to President Trump that his leadership and his maximum pressure policy, together with international solidarity, brought us to this juncture," Chung said. "I expressed [South Korean] President Moon Jae-in's personal gratitude for President Trump's leadership."
South Korea basically is giving Trump credit for this.

Honestly it's probably something like:

"Look, Trump is a crazy nut job who will nuke your country.  Make peace or you'll be dead."

1. Just spitballing, but perhaps he has recognized that it is a good and productive move for his country.

2. I don’t know why I should take a prepared statement by a South Korean minister as solid evidence for what is motivating Kim Jong Un. I don’t think they talk much.

It seems more likely to me that reported starvation and hardships inflicted by years of sanctions are taking their toll. That the DPRK’s elite are even starting to feel it now. Who knows though?
