Jake Tapper: Do you still think North Korea is a nuclear threat despite President Trump saying they are not?

Secretary of State Pompeo: Yes. And he didn’t say that.

Jake Tapper: Yes he tweeted it. It’s a direct quote.


It seems Pompeo is trying to generate same fake news to cover for the Lying Dotard.

I saw that on the news and could not believe my ears. Does Pompeo think we are all idiots who will believe that boloney?

Sure, the Prez no longer believes there's a nuclear threat on the Korean peninsula. He absolutely believes that. That's precisely why sanctions are still in place. That's precisely why the Prez has stated that the sanctions will remain in place until Korea shows progress towards de-nuking. In fact, the Prez is in Korea now only because it was a joy-ride to scout out a location for his next casino hotel.

Sheesh....

All this "The Apprentice goes to Vietnam" BS is meant to distract from the Cohen's testimony. Nothing of real benefit, substance in favor of the U.S.A. will develop.

Doe that threat loom large in your mind? Kim hoped it would....

But he's not enough of a crazy idiot to do it, unless he felt himself doomed anyway for some reason.

Key to the issue is China more so the Kim.
Kim, yes does have nukes.
Does anyone think for a nano that China would want any kind of a Nuke strike so close?

At 5 p.m. on Saturday, still unaware of the moments preceding the viral video, The Post published its first story on what would become a days-long national argument about racism, the media and masculinity. The headline: “‘It was getting ugly’: Native American drummer speaks on his encounter with MAGA-hat-wearing teens.” The article quoted Phillips, saying he felt threatened by the teens. It also included a statement from the Catholic Diocese of Covington condemning the actions of the students seen in the video, in which they appeared to mock and taunt the Native American activist.

In other words, WaPo had half a story, but they felt like they had a pretty good narrative about Maga-hat-wearing kids taunting a Native American. So, they ran with that and threw a bunch of high school kids under the bus, and threw a bunch of gas on the fire of a social media shit storm.

Of course, in this story covering their own slip-shod reporting, they attempt to support their own actions. It was the "Trump internet" that "pounced" on their shitty reporting, and how DARE they do that. But WaPo wouldn't bother framing their own actions to rush a narrative out the door with half the facts as "pouncing" to try and stay ahead of the Twitter-verse or the NYT.

In just a few hours on Saturday, the story took off with comet-like speed, propelled in equal measures by social-media outrage and by news reporting that drafted on its wake. In a now all-too-familiar process, people chose sides, and each side fed off the other, with mainstream news accounts pushing the whole slush pile along.

But WaPo would never accuse themselves of "choosing sides", even as they couldn't wait to frame the story as a bunch of MAGA hat wearing kids ganging up on a poor Native American guy.

And, of course, even knowing they published half the story, they still try to get in a dig at the teenage kid at the end of this story:

Amid speculation that the boys might get an invitation to visit the White House, Savannah Guthrie announced that Sandmann would be interviewed Wednesday on the “Today Show.” Guthrie posted a photo of the two of them on Twitter, sitting in front of the cameras. Sandmann was smiling.

What a load of crap, like the kid was just waiting around the streets of DC waiting for something like this to happen to him, and now he's got his 5 minutes of fame.

Case dismissed? Doubt it. Go to trial? Doubt it. WaPo paying out some settlement money? Absolutely.
For those of you predicting that this lawsuit will "go nowhere", or that its "a joke and will be dismissed", your favorite news rag took an apparent defensive step yesterday...only a month and a half after the original story was published and the damage was already done.

Would this - decidedly minimal - editors note have been published without the specter of a $250MM lawsuit? Doubtful.

Unlike the wingnut garbage you read which never print corrections. And no, this lawsuit is still going nowhere.
