You could almost hear the Far Left
sizzle, all the way from the Capitol, to my home in southwest
Missouri as talks between Washington DC and Pyongyang continued to
amp upwards. And, while Democrats
scrambled this day, to see if there is some way to blame Trump for Italy's
political troubles, overall confidence in the overall Republican agenda
continued to build....
As I see it, there are three possible
short term outcomes; 1) the Summit will be called off by Kim and the
sanctions remain, 2) the summit happens and North Korea makes an
epic turn towards a future of increased prosperity and 3) the
stirrings of World War III begin to increase in likelihood. Note that of
the three options I've listed, if Kim does elect to pick #1, (which would kill the goose that could lay them a golden egg),
the people there may well riot and off him. And, if things really go
south and the US, Iran, China and Russia all decide to rumble via
option #3 – Well, no one would really take notice of Kim's pathetic
country again for some time as the Great Holocaust would be taking
center stage. Only option #2 holds the promise for everyone to
continue getting along by playing along.
The thing is, there is no clear path
forward for the Democrats no matter what happens. They've managed to box themselves into a
rather small corner with few choices for redemption prior to the midterms. When you spend
all your time and energy hating one person, fail to take part in the
great tax reform, refuse to see Obamacare as a failed experiment and
rush to embrace known killers.... Well, I think you get the picture. And now, with seeing Trump make more progress, in a couple of years, than past Presidents have for thirty years in the Korean peninsula - Man! That's got to have them right at the boiling point!
