What I loved was Brennan's reaction. Wasn't Brennan the CIA Director during all of this

Yep.  And his boss was none other than BHO, who did absolutely nothing.

And those who are crying "election meddling!" are forgetting a few things.  BHO himself was guilty of meddling in Israel's election among others.  And those who are so upset (supposedly) with Russian election meddling are the same ones who protest when we suggest strengthening our election laws with voter ID and other methods.

 And then they forget this little tidbit:



 

Diplomacy is tricky, especially with a rogue dictatorial government.

Trump has not given NK anything.  On the other hand, NK gave back hostages, agreed to meet in Singapore and is still willing to talk.  One story the MSM is hiding is that the Kim regime has been cleaning up NK and taking down all the anti American billboards and propaganda.  Also NK TV has acknowledged Kim's meetings with Trump as well as the SoS.  Another story hidden is NK cooperating with the return of US soldiers remains.

 The alt left progressives want this to fail.  The latest stories from NK cite "unnamed sources" and other bullshit.   Take what the MSM is reporting with a grain of salt.

I'm hoping that Trump is playing a game of Alphonse et Gastogne with the libs, and the media. We will have them chasing phantom candidates whom he has no intention of appointing, and come Friday, we'll all be whiffing at a 78MPH knuckle ball. the truth will be that Lee has gone quiet for a reason, and he'll come out with very little advance hateraid from the left.

It would be hard for a R senator not to confirm one of their own. That - would be pretty treasonous.

Hoping.....

 Jeff Flake, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski would stick a knife in his back.

Yep.  The Dems have not learned from their huge mistakes in 2016.  You can't demonize, and insult a large part of the country, and get anywhere politically.  They have now outed themselves to be on the side of violence, violent gangs, and most other anti American causes. 

Now avowed socialists are getting elected in major cities.  I see this as a trend.  Americans, for the most part to not like socialism, communism, and other oppressive government schemes.

 Now the call is for "resist everything!" and violence.  And the new strategy for 2018 is to go after the "Trump supporters" head on and demonize them and try to shame them from voting.

 But as I've said before, the DNC has been hijacked by the Alt Left Radical Progressives. Progressive is just another term for communist. 

 Now go back and look at the different communist regimes over the past 100 years or so and start seeing the similarities in the tactics being used today.  It's one in the same.

I agree with both of you.  I just think he would be better served if he made his case in front of the whole world first, rather than just charging in and going on the attack.  I think it would put him in a stronger negotiation position.

 I think he has made his case.   Problem is the MSM and the progressives then twist it around in yet another lame attempt to make him look bad.

 He's addressing the problem from the top and taking these countries to task.

 Righting the problems that so many have left unchallenged and ignored is a long hard process.
