Why does the media continue to focus only on the negative?

It's like they want an all out civil war. Why give these freaks a forum to spread evil? Most of us reasonable Americans hopefully can see thru the BS. Evil sells newspapers.....and souls.

Trump's unsophisticated schoolyard tactics with NK which were widely panned seem to have actually worked, and we spent all day yesterday talking about some fringe thugs in Virginia.

Oh, I think if the President could have said anything

including reciting the ABCs, and Kim was never going to do anything.
I don't have a huge problem with what he said about NK, but I definitely don't think that was the reason Kim decided not to do anything. Kim decided not to do anything because he doesn't want to die.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but it is the first time in

quite a while that a leader hasn't just thrown incentive money at KJU to shut him up, and instead played his game, and it worked.
You (not you specifically, the public in general) can't say that all things that go bad and are tangentially related to Trump are his fault, and all things that go well and are tangentially related to Trump are despite him.

Oh yeah, I agree.

Trump's response may have been a factor, and that's great.
Personally, I don't spend much time faulting Trump for anything except his own words and actions. For example, I don't think the fact that white nationalists are protesting is his fault. Just what he says and does about it.

Though I don't think Kim would've done anything, either,

I think Tillerson, Mattis, and back channel work with Beijing had more influence on making Kim shut his pie hole. China basically told him to shut the #### up by informing him they wouldn't protect him if he started chit.

China also told him "we aren't going to buy any more of the few things you can sell until you shut up." They announced new embargoes on coal and some other key NK exports earlier this week.

Better off ignoring social media in general.
You ARE WAAAAAY better off going outside and meeting people in person and regaining faith in humanity. I do it daily.
