My impression is that what Trump is doing by trying to engage Putin in Helsinki is very similar to what Nixon did by holding talks with Mao Tse Tung in China. It almost seems as though these initiatives (with meeting Kim in Singapore as well) are somewhat Kissinger-esque.........

- And, I might add, what Carter did with Begin and Sadat in 77' at Camp David - very tough to do, and it almost didn't come off...........this initiative was the greatest defining moment for Carter's Presidency, no doubt. Anwar Sadat, the President of Egypt, coming to Plains, Georgia? Was a great event - covered by People Weekly.....

He's barely been president for 1.5 years. How can you possibly predict something like that either way? There's more time until the presidential election than he's been president. Anything could happen in the next 2 years.

I don't know about that...I first saw it at an AIA convention pushed by a couple guys out of Boston...
A “mental illness” which causes the afflicted to think irrationally about any action, policy, or news pertaining to Donald Trump or the Trump administration. No matter what Trump does, the afflicted person will automatically have a reaction which will likely be overblown or simply nonsensical, even in cases where there is little to no information available. This can manifest in both supporters and detractors. Common symptoms are indignation, belief in false information, and denial of reality. Additionally, they are unable to separate Trump and his actions, meaning that they may perceive good things he does as bad simply because it is Trump; conversely, they might see bad things he does as good. Ex 1 (hater): “Hey, did you see when Trump just dumped that fish food into the pond for no reason? What a deplorable! He has no respect for Japanese culture.”
“Actually, that video was cropped to make Trump look bad. Abe dumped his fish food in right before Trump did.”
“It doesn’t matter! He’s an idiot who is racist and bigoted and probably still hates Japan!”
“You obviously have the liberal version of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Ex 2 (supporter): “Man, Trump is doing great things for our country. He puts America first and makes no mistakes.”
“You do realize that Trump is embarrassing us on the global stage all the time? He’s always saying dumb things and lying.”
“Shut up, stupid liberal! The fake media is run by a bunch of globablist cronies, and you’re just swallowing it like the sheep you are!”
“Trump supports with TDS are just as bad as the liberals who have it.

For the record, I think Trump is an egotist, a buffoon, and his policies are terrible. Which doesn't make him any different than pretty much every elected official.
That being said, Trump Derangment Syndrome is an apt name for what has happened to the entire establishment (MIC, deep state, shadow government, entrenched bureaucracy, or whatever you want to call it) and their corporate media (thank you Bill Clinton for deregulating the FCC and creating massive media consolidation such that now five corporations own nearly all media in all forms from print to TV to radio, and they are desperate to control the Internet).
That an outsider has preempted the scheduled programming of perpetual war and usurped the power of the Republocrats has driven the establishment insane. This is Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Evidence mounts daily. It's almost two years into his term - if there was any real evidence he would have been ousted long ago. The FBI released more Russiaphobia three days before the Helsinki meeting. The NYT called him a traitor for meeting with Putin to discuss global affairs. Normally intelligent people have been propagandized into insanity by constant bombardment from a unified establishment media diet of lies and disinformation (My personal favorite: the NYT reporting "anonymous intelligence officials citing secret documents"). Anybody remember WMDs in Iraq?
The Russian election interference hoax is a lever designed to dislodge the outsider from the system and ramp up Cold War 2.0 (because Cold War 1.0 worked out so very well $$$) - and more important a mask to cover up domestic election interference in all its many forms from unlimited campaign financing to gerrymandering to voter suppression. The real election fraud isn't done by voters or Russians, it is done by a completely corrupt system to perpetuate its headlock on power.
Trump's policies are almost uniformly bad. But even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Meeting with world leaders to find peace is not treason - unless you are part of the system that profits widely from nonstop global militarism. The last guy that bucked this system? JFK.
I don't support Trump, and I didn't support the warmonger traitor HRC (where actual evidence of foreign influence - payments through the Clinton Foundation - are ignored) but I do support global peace. Anyone working against that is a traitor.

Got an odd newspaper delivered to my driveway today - The Epoch Times. Front page has laudatory articles about Trump, in fact not a bad word about him in the whole rag. Which makes it stand out just a wee bit.
Research shows it's funded by Chinese anti-communist Falun Gong followers (neoliberal capitalists?). It's rated as "highly factual" and "right of center" by Media Bias.
At least the spin is obvious: the lead article "EPA proposes New Fuel Econmy Rules" is subtitled "Change would reduce traffic deaths and reduce car prices".
anyone ?
Nice new screen name.
Needs a diet coke!
No one has an opinion on the Helsenki summit?

Wheres that idiot Greg Wharton?
Who cares?
True
The better question should be do you believe in this country values and the preservation of cultural history?
By "cultural history" do you mean the corporate-financial-congressional-military-industrial-complex and war for profit?
maybe he means old buildings?
Hillary smashed the glass ceiling....she fell through it. Just deplorable.

This is terrible trolling. Step it up.
