You mean like all my lib friends on FB posting the picture of the Clintons, Obamas, W's and Melania at Barbara Bush's funeral and then making snarky remarks about how unprecedented it is for the Donald to not show up? :lol: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

North Korea’s mountain nuclear test site has collapsed, putting China and other nearby nations at unprecedented risk of radioactive exposure, two separate groups of Chinese scientists studying the issue have confirmed.

The collapse after five nuclear blasts may be why North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declared last Friday that he would freeze the hermit state’s nuclear and missile tests and shut down the site, one researcher said...

...Zhao Lianfeng, a researcher with the Institute of Earth Science at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, said the two studies supported a consensus among scientists that “the site was wrecked” beyond repair.

“Their findings are in agreement to our observations,” he said.

“Different teams using different data have come up with similar conclusions,” Zhao said. “The only difference was in some technical details. This is the best guess that can be made by the world outside.”

Speculation grew that North Korea’s site was in trouble when Lee Doh-sik, the top North Korean geologist, visited Zhao’s institute about two weeks after the test where he met privately with senior Chinese government geologists.

Although the purpose of Lee’s visit was not disclosed, two days later, Pyongyang announced it would no longer conduct land-based nuclear tests...

...The mountain’s collapse has likely dealt a huge blow to North Korea’s nuclear programme, Hu said.

Hit by crippling international economic sanctions over its nuclear ambitions, the country might lack sufficient resources to soon resume testing at a new site, he said.

Now I'll be the first to say that Trump is clearly a buffoon, but who woulda thunk it - perhaps his bellicose and at times seemingly irrational treatment of all issues with North Korea has led to a breakthrough of the status quo that has been in place since the armistice that ended the Korean War, or at least the advent of a nuclear North Korea over multiple administrations since the Clinton presidency? Now granted, seeing how the North follows through on all of this is clearly important, as they tend not to live up to what they agree to, but to think just a year ago that the North could give up nuclear weapons and the Korean War finally ended with a peace treaty is pretty fast-moving stuff, diplomatically speaking.

I'm not expecting anything historic here, but it will be interesting if the same standard that is applied to the Iran deal by the Obama toadies in the media will be applied to this.

Or if the Nobel Peace Prize Committee will consider Trump...no wait, that's a political prize and not a peace prize.

It will take a long while to read the results of all of this.

Also, this:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/wor ... 552974002/
Chinese geologists claim in a new study that the mountain above North Korea’s main nuclear test site collapsed in September, rendering the area unsafe for further testing because of possible radiation leaks — a finding that may shed a different light on Kim Jong Un’s announcement that his country was ceasing its nuclear testing program.

I think the statement about most normal people not paying attention applies to just about any period in our history. But I don't think the anti trump sentiment is just background noise. An awful lot of people, I think, view this situation as abnormal and unacceptable. And Trump continues to be very unpopular. As of this post he is at 55.1% favorable vs. 39.1% unfavorable in the RCP average. This is not a normal situation. We still have a mentally ill, totally unqualified person in a very important position.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
