President Donald Trump defended North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un when confronted Thursday about American college student Otto Warmbier, who died days after he was repatriated from the pariah state with brain damage.

Responding to questions in Hanoi before bringing an abrupt end to his second summit with Kim, Trump said he does not believe that the North Korean autocrat knew about Warmbier’s condition until after the fact.

“He tells me he didn’t know about it and I will take him at his word,” Trump said of how he could continue calling the young dictator “my friend.”

NEWSPentagon swear jar funds entire border wall after one week

What began as a way to prevent cutting military construction projects quickly turned into a revenue stream for the Pentagon.

“We figured we would raise enough money to keep the lights on in the building or, at best, buy another fifth-generation fighter,” said acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan. “We had no idea we could fund the entire border wall, rid military housing of black mold, and pay for the two new carriers we approved last month.”

I just think that one aspect of the article at https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-t ... ts-n978621 is interesting.

It says that, among Democrats, 67% would be comfortable with nominating a Muslim as the Presidential candidate while only 37% would be comfortable with nominating an Evangelical.

Man these last couple years The Atlantic has moved up in my reading list

They were unabashed cheerleaders for Obama but even then they'd call out the really goofy stuff.

You're welcome.

The Atlantic has always leaned significantly left

It still does - but it has remained relatively stationary on the spectrum while others have slid further to the left

You’ve also put Rolling Stone and RT forward as legitimate journalism so maybe The Atlantic is just your blind squirrel moment

I think we’ve been through this before, but RS and RT might personally give you heartburn and they’ve both had their gaffes, but both have also published highly respected journalists.

Again...you’re welcome.

I like how one being basically Pravda and the other one pushing an invented story in furtherance of a false narrative qualify as just “had their gaffes”

That’s like 1942 Poland being an inconvenient place for Jews
