Sure, but America has signaled to the world that nothing it agrees to is permanent. Maybe the next president keeps America’s word - maybe he doesn’t. Maybe he’s an immature dick who pulls out of every agreement he didn’t sign himself. How does one enter into an agreement with another nation if you can’t trust that…

I cannot tell you how much I look forward to this.

“Allies.”

Alas, I stole this one from another Kinja commenter.

I’m not clear on why this summit even matters. The powderkeg isn’t NK lobbing missiles at the US, it’s NK shelling Seoul and things snowballing from there - and while Mango Unchained was busy doing his usual weathervane number, NK and SK had, what, two unscheduled meetings? Honestly it seems to me that the less the US…

I’ll be sure to do that. They might answer that the cost of healthcare per capita is like half of what it is in the US, that life expectancy is still higher than in the US, that their infant mortality rate is 30% lower than in the US, and that nobody’s ever died from being unable to afford an insurance plan (let alone…

I stand corrected. I should have checked. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Asked if he would apologize privately to Ms. Lewinsky today if she were in the room, Mr. Clinton replied, “If she were here now and I would speak to her, it wouldn’t be a private conversation.”

In a two-party system, ranked-choice is the jungle system, except with a built-in advantage to the most extremist party as illustrated above in Vigilance’s post.

Wow, it’s almost like the direct consequence of shitting all over the Iran deal is that Iran no longer feels bound by the deal.

Technically Rodman isn’t going to NK with Trump, he’s going to Singapore - so Trump isn’t lying!

All this serves to indicate is that maybe the executive branch shouldn’t have the power to just delete rulings of the judicial. I don’t get pardons - aren’t they exactly what separation of branches was all about fixing in the first place?

Suuuure, this time the GOP will stand up to Trump.

Can Germany just send him home? Not like countries do to send a harsh rebuke to other nations but just as a “we don’t like this one, send us another”?

Trump going full Oprah. “You get a pardon! And you get a pardon! And you back there get a pardon! Everyone gets a pardon!”

Well they tried single-payer, you know, in other countries. And much like communism, history shows us that it always fail— oh wait.

The witnesses preserved the texts and turned them over to the government.

What is lost if Trump ends these briefings? At this stage all she does is tell reporters the sky is red, and when someone points out it’s actually blue she insults them. It’s a travesty.

Alicia, this may be of interest. As you point out registered investment advisers are fiduciaries, while broker-dealers aren’t. In 2015 the Department of Labor declared that anyone providing advice to certain pension funds and retirement accounts had a fiduciary duty towards their clients, but that was overturned…
