Maybe I just don’t understand the alternative in this situation, similarly to Trump saying he trusts Kim.

I don’t think anyone in the US trusts Kim any further than they can throw him. But you can’t go on tv right after the meeting and say. I don’t trust the little bastard. I see the salute as the same thing, although the regime is horrible to their citizens, you don’t want to start off the meeting being disrespectful to that country.

I get this could be a bunch of Hooey and Kim is just playing Trump. But with the .000001 percent chance this isn’t a play by Kim, you want the best chance of the negotiations working out.

But my negotiation expertise is limited to buying a couple houses and cars, not peace treaties so maybe I’m completely off base.

Had to dig this thread up.

There's nothing worse than saluting with a latte while being a Democrat.

Why would anybody ruin a good coffee by pouring milk into it? Sacrilege.

Do you not understand? Obama is literally the devil. That was obviously a signal to the lesser minions to wreck havoc.

Human? I enjoy picking on you and others who voted for Obama because you were fooled into believing he was somehow above all other humans. So when he looks like a dope, which is often, I pounce (or pile on).


Another gem from 2014.


People fooled because they voted for someone who didn't know how to salute a Marine and look whose in the office now.


It makes you nostalgic.

Oh disaster, oh calamity. The signal has been given

... Or by dropping a lump of butter into it, WTF???!!!

Well done, Captain, well done!

Once again I bring this thread up to remind people that the worst thing you used to worry about was how your CIC saluted with a coffee cup in his hand.

Sigh

Why would you do this on my 50th birthday?

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

This morning I saw that. Which is obviously really bad.
Yet compared to the shit we are used to with Trump, it looks really amateurish.

Lattes are another reason people voted for Trump.

https://www.wakacoffee.com/...popular-coffee-order

according to this, latte is the most common (i.e. normal) way to order coffee in the US. So help my understand how a President drinking coffee in the most common way led to a Trump presidency?

Or better yet, help my understand the difference between having a latte and a coffee with cream in terms of how you judge a person?

Yes, I thought the joke might be too subtle. Latte liberal is a common pejorative similar to limousine liberal.

Likely wasn't even a latte.

Once again, this thread needs to be revived.

This is what passed for scandal for Obama.

Good thing we drained that swamp!
