yo, holy shit at the tlaib/meadows exchange

really fucked up that she had to apologize for calling him racist

Seems she hit a nerve. And of course he used it to play the victim. This theatrical display almost made me laugh. Mark Meadows is scum.

It was good timing for the internet to remind everyone he campaigned on sending Obama “back to Kenya or wherever he’s from”.

Virginia’s first lady is the subject of harsh criticism for handing raw cotton to two black students while giving a historical tour of the Executive Mansion’s former slave quarters, asking the students to consider what it would have been like to be a slave.

Pam Northam and her husband, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, were hosting about 100 young people who had served as legislative assistants, or pages, during the state Senate session when the incident took place, according to the Washington Post. The governor’s mansion in Virginia is the oldest one in the U.S., and was completed in 1813. The historic kitchen, where slaves and servants once lived and worked, still overlooks the garden.

While showing the cottage to about 20 pages, Northam held up samples of both cotton and tobacco — two of the crops commonly picked by slaves. She is accused of then targeting two of the only black pages in the group and attempting to hand them pieces of cotton as part of a hands-on demonstration, according to CBS affiliate WTVR. A firsthand account of the events was detailed in a letter written by an eighth grade girl in the group and addressed to Northam, a former middle school teacher. The girl is the daughter of Leah Dozier Walker, who oversees the Office of Equity and Community Engagement at the state Education Department.

“There are only three black pages in the page class of 2019,” the letter reportedly reads. “When you went to hand out the cotton you handed it straight to another African-American page, then you proceeded to hand it to me. I did not take it. The other page took the cotton, but it made her very uncomfortable. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, because you gave it to some other pages. But you followed this up by asking: ‘Can you imagine being an enslaved person, and having to pick this all day?'”

A spokesperson for the first lady denied she purposely singled out any black pages, according to the Post, and another student who was part of the tour corroborated that story, saying the the first lady handed out the cotton to the entire group.

Best 5 minutes of the hearing. AOC is growing on me. I quite like her when she doesn't smile or create memes.
It's quite amazing to see an intelligent, decent, non-geriatric person in congress. Imagine the entire hearing had been like this.

remember that
They already do. They just need Kim and Trump to sign it but they both don't want to make it look easy.

The deal is simple:
- The US removes the sanctions and the US and South Korea economically support North Korea
- North Korea denuclearizes

This deal is what Trump and Kim need to agree on, but neither wants to blink first.

no you said they'd already agreed to a deal before the first meeting

not "in my head there exists a deal which they should agree to"

are you able to successfully lie to people in person? trying to figure out why you keep trying it on here

Kim has made Trump look like such a moron every step of the way and Trump somehow doesn't realize it. It's actually fascinating because it's hard to find an example of a US president being so utterly and completely finessed by another head of state like Kim has done with Trump. And yet Trump and the entire Republican party are either too dumb or too proud to realize he's repeatedly been embarrassed by this dude who doesn't even interact with the international community.

I feel Kim is genuinely trying to get some sort of compromise from Trump. But is also clear that what that compromise is is very different of what the US and Trump wants. I doubt Trump is the kind of moron that doesn’t realizes that, but I believe he is the kind of moron that genuinely thinks he can change that by licking Kim balls.

Knowing Trump he wasn't paying attention much and probably bored.
He had already met Kim, the show wasn't as big as last time. Less reporters, not enough media interest.

For some reason he started talking about Israel and Palestine as the 'biggest deal' during his press conference.
I guess that's what he's going to try next.  :rofl

Doesn’t feel he was bored but that he knew it was a useless trip. The fact that he continues to lick Kim balls to this stupid degree made me feel he believes he can still do it. Trump is dumb enough to believe his own hype.

Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows have contacted the FBI to investigate Cohen for possible perjury during yesterday's testimony. Because he claimed he wasn't interested in a job in the White House.

That was such a dumb claim by Cohen. I don't know why he just didn't say: "Yeah, maybe but I never looked at it in much detail" or the classic: "I don't recall"

Another example Jordan and Meadows listed was Cohen's claim that he didn't defraud any bank. However, they took no issue with his statements regarding Trump, it would seem.
