Before this meeting with Kim Jong Un. NONE.
Just discussed on MSNBC. Trump told all advisors that nothing matters until he has the meeting with Jong Un. WTF.

(844 posts)That any extra words thrown in his general direction will push out whatever orders he got from Vlad this morning. Very limited head space that I can tell you.

(21,730 posts)if his apathy to preparation is because he already knows the outcome. it would not surprise me if kim and putin have already cut a deal with drumpf. Kim gets to stay in power with guarentee of russian/us protection and behind the scenes aid from russia, drumpf gets a big win for his ego on the world stage, and putin gets to keep running the US from Moscow.

(15,108 posts)We all know it was a BS "summit" anyway. We know Trump can't keep a secret to save his life, and he blurts out things which ought to remain unsaid all the time. We know that once a hostile party knows what you know they can work to figure out how you know it, and block off those sources/methods. It was probably better that he wasn't briefed ahead of time to prevent Kim from finding out what we know and how we know it.
Civic Justice
(870 posts)This is the result of what we get when for the past 40 yrs, we omitted to give emphasis to CIVICS EDUCATIONS, and after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the activities engaged since then, have served to erode education, and destroy unions and have exported industry, and it all sums up to ensure American's are less educated, and more unaware of our governance system, and not taught to follow the truths of how politic's have been tainted by every Right Wing Congress since that time, and in 1969, when the Right Wing Faction MOVED OVER from the Southern Democrats and BECAME Republican, they have every since been whittling away at trying to roll back Civil Rights Act of 1964.
First by "Attacking Education" !!! Under-funding it, Reagan cut funding for community colleges and then State Universities, and low funding diminished Civic's Education in Schools. This process has made American less informed and poorly educated on these matters.
When unions were busted, and then Jobs left, it put people in "desperation mode to survive" and they had less time to be concerned about CIVICS and over the past decades... it has become even worst.. Selective Amnesia set in... and now we have a society, that is led by "DRAMA ANTIC'S by Right Wing Political Agenda, that Dominates and Dictates what Public Narrative is, and the General Population does not have enough knowledge of historical information, therefore "we" as a public are at a disadvantage, and Republican seize upon it.
We can't re-educated society quick enough, and people still follow Republican Narrative Dominance that drives the media and the conversations of people, with no dominant counter narrative, and no concern to look back and truly learn so they can develop and promote narratives.
Until the Devastation devastates white society, this cycle will continue. White society has to at some point evidently be weakened and brought down by their own lack of standing up, and becoming more informed and realize, if they can't and don't figure a way to build a bond between poor whites people, women in general and minorities, then the Republican Machine will continue to devastate America.
These things have been used by the wealth to devastate the masses for 100's of years... and if the white people of today, do not wake up and realize it, and build the bonds they need to build with Multicultural society,and across Gender lines, then the Republican will keep winning, and they will keep making life hell for the masses.
It was white people who backed up, and allowed Republican to Take Congress during Obama's presidency. Minorities have no changed their stand nor their tune... and they did not vote republican.. but many white men and white women did, because they got caught up in Republican Drama, expecting Obama to be a Magician, when he was a man, who got this economy off its knees, and promoted health care for all people, and many other things, including bills for equal pay for women... Still, white people, expected too much, and turned their vote to Republican and GAVE the Congress to Republican.
That's a Trump White People Need To Come To Terms With In Themselves. It's time for white people to talk to white people and be straight up and talk in direct terms to other white people about what they are doing to America.
Minorities are still voting Democrat, and they have not changed !!!! The problem is White People, expected a magical miracle, and used SELECTIVE AMNESIA, and forgot the challenge Obama faced, and the work he did to fix it, but they expected some magical "enrichment program to fall upon them", rather than realize we had to 'work as a unified people to build upon the work Obama did to restore the economy and improve diplomacy, and contain the banks and wall street. But.. white people forget too quick !!!! and expect too much.. and then fade away when the instant expectations does not materialize> How they could fall for the Republican Drama and switch up their vote and Vote for the same Republican That Crashed the Economy.... Now, Republican see them as gullible and easy picking, and the Result is now Trump functions like a Dictator, and he got there by the votes of White People.
It's time white people take responsibility for what they have done. Trump did not get many at all minority votes, he got white people votes... and white people are the blame for us having Trump!!!
That's the HARD COLD REALITY that we are facing... and its up to white people to figure out how to join with multicultural people and promote the Democratic Party and support the General Population of ALL AMERICANS. when they get read to do that, ONLY then will we move America forward and protect the government systems it took 100's of years to build. When they come to realize they are no more a person than a minority ethnicity, then they will learn and embrace what is Democratic Party Ideals as a Ethnicity of People, and they will stand up and support equality, and stop looking for white privilege, because when they seek white privilege, all they do is embolden the wealthy and the wealthy control the right wing, and the Republican use that against them, because the white elites of economics, take that white privilege and decimate the poor whites and minorities alike.
White people are too comfortable and too use to thinking 'everything going to be fine" and every decade that we have Republican in Office, the general population of poor whites become more poor, more desperate and more beat down with the rest of multicultural people... and the fact is very simple... WE ALL RISE TOGETHER, or the cycle continues.
Take your pick .... Trump functions like a Dictator because he feels he has White People's Blessing" !!!!
