monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Analysts said that Ms. Choe and Mr. Kim were likely to work on drafts of a potential declaration that could be issued at the summit meeting, with wording from North Korea about getting rid of its nuclear weapons and a guarantee from the United States that it would not interfere with the North’s regime or demand redress for human rights abuses.

“Ms. Choe is probably asking for nonaggression and even the stopping of joint military drills between the U.S. and South Korea because the North feels threatened by it,” said Chon Hyun-joon, a visiting professor at Woosuk University in Jeongju City. “The North Koreans are very good at getting what they want at the last minute, while it seems Trump is a little more impatient.”

Ms. Choe was an interpreter for the North Koreans during previous nuclear negotiations known as the six-party talks, which started in 2003 and eventually broke down in 2009. She is likely to have previously met Sung Kim at conferences in Europe as well.

ABC ‘Values’: Jimmy Kimmel in blackface

Let’s example some more of ABC so called “values” they claimed they had when they cancelled the Roseanne show today. We’ve already discussed Keith Olbermann (who ABC rehired again) and Joy Behar. Now let’s look at racist Jimmy Kimmel, in blackface, posing as an NBC basketball player. Since the whole charade today by ABC is about “racism,” how does ABC explain Jimmy Kimmel in blackface, actually mocking black people? Oh right, Jimmy Kimmel is a liberal comedian, so it doesn’t matter or something.

ABC doesn’t directly own Roseanne, which means that it doesn’t control all the eventual revenues from the program from sales to streaming companies, to international broadcasters, and so on. (You can read more about how this works here.)

Instead, the show is produced by the Carsey-Werner Company (its original production studio in the show’s 1988-’97 run) and Jax Media (which also produces Broad City, among others). Even if ABC got a cut of the show’s profits (as many broadcast networks do nowadays for shows their parent companies don’t technically own), it would be a small one. That’s an acceptable trade-off when the ratings are so huge that you know you’ll be making tons of money from advertisers, but it’s not when those ad dollars aren’t assured. (Because of this ownership situation, it’s not impossible that Roseanne could be revived elsewhere, but it would require such a specific set of circumstances that it seems incredibly unlikely.)

When the show goes from the much more nebulous target audience of “people interested in considering the political divide in the Trump era” to the target audience of “hardcore racists,” what’s the damage not just to the show but to your network as a whole?

If this is the case, why would you hang out here and post daily for yers?

Re roseanne sometimes assholes get what they deserve.

President Trump Signs ‘Right to Try’ Act, Keeping Another Promise to the American People

“With the Right to Try law signing today patients with life threatening illnesses will finally have access to experimental treatments that could improve or even cure their conditions,” explained President Trump. “These are experimental treatments and products that have shown great promise, and we weren’t able to use them before — now we can use them.”

Benghazi Survivor Kris Paronto Comes to Roseanne’s Defense

Paronto ran down a list of things on Jarrett’s resume which makes her an infinitely worse human being than Roseanne. Reprehensible actions, not reprehensible words.

Judicial Watch released documents in 2015 which demonstrate the Jarrett family’s ties to communism, in which the watchdog group then addresses the Muslim Brotherhood.

“It’s been well documented that Valerie Jarrett, a Chicago lawyer and longtime Obama confidant, is a liberal extremist who wields tremendous power in the White House,” they wrote. “Faithful to her roots, she still has connections to many Communist and extremist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The other 2/3 thinks those ositions suck.
