Cromwell was Henry’s chief minister. He was beheaded by Henry in 1540 for picking an ugly wife for him.

Cranmer was executed by Mary I for being a Protestant in 1556.

Wrist and elbow, actually. Got hydrocodone for the pain, but the swelling hasn't gone down that I've noticed.

Seems like an admission that Trump was the better negotiator.


The talks fell through, Trump gained nothing for the US, and Kim gave up nothing. So how was Trump a good "negotiator"?

Pretty much.

One WP member ranted and raved about how "liberals love Kim so much", or some pathetic nonsense like that. You get bone headed and hot headed individuals of every creed spouting embarrassing nonsense ("get your government hands OFF of my social security" or "even Kim would be a better potus than Trump"). But in the main no mainstream American conservative or liberal (while calm and colletected) expresses any love for Kim...except one person.

Soon after that WP person made that rant about liberals loving Kim, that WPers idol (Trump) made a speech about how HE (Trump) had "fallen in love" with Kim (and it was mutual). :lol: :lol: :lol:

Trump of course being that "one person" who is the perverse exception to main stream American hatred of Kim.

But in all fairness Trump failures/successes with the Norks are neither worse/better than any previous POTUS.

There isn't much an American president can do about the Nork regime.

And I give Trump some credit: Trump cant deal with the Iranians because they are too democratic. Too much like our own Congress. But the Nork regime is like what Trump is used to dealing with: a corporation headed by a CEO who rules by fiat, and not by the rule of law. So the two leader probably do have some certain chemistry.


I honestly can't figure out if the MAGAspies here on WP are being serious or if they're just trolling.

Either way you and I and some other people with common sense know that this country is becoming a cesspool. ;)



Didn't say good, said better. Could have said Kim was better under different circumstances. That comes from looking at a situation or person without a whole bunch of feelings and emotion wrapped up in it or them.

Read and think about it again and maybe you will get past the usual "defending Trump" "Trump supporter" knee-jerk reaction.

Sometimes it seems like people don't really think, they just react.


Huh?????

She coulda said either thing (good or better) and it would have made no difference.
And I coulda said good either adjective (good or better), and it would have made no difference to my point either.

On top of that there were two different Cromwells!

Never confuse Thomas with Oliver. :)

It's wrong to assume "NO DEAL" was an undesirable result.

Slipped on one of my daughter's toys while rushing to answer the door. The toy flew forward, an I flew backward and landed on my arm.

I don't know if Trump was good at negotiating with North Korea, but I can say that if a reasonable deal couldn't be made than walking away was the right response. Knowing what we know of North Korea negotiations in the past, it seems pretty likely a reasonable deal couldn't be made.

Trump's tactics have yet to produce a great deal for the American people, but who knows maybe they will work out in the end. His negotiations with China, Congress, and North Korea are ongoing and its too early to say that he's failed to properly resolve those situations. Clock is ticking though he has a year and a half left until his performance evaluation.

Actually, it is my writing hand that's attached to my broken arm. But last night I managed to hunt-and-peck half a page of something new with my left, so not all is lost.

You're motivated...

I broke my right wrist when I was 14. Within a few days or so, I could do everything with my left side that I was doing with my right side previous to me breaking my wrist.

I could even tie my shoes.....

People adjust. But I'm still glad that you're not letting your injury keep you down.
