Another thing Lynn Patton said. DJT does not e-mail or text. Just FYI
I'm looking for Kim to get with the SK guy. Reunification is gonna have to be a three way photo op. Maybe four way if China wants some good press and a piece of the action. Maybe SK comes to VC for talks with NK?
Lots of moving parts. Lots behind the scenes.
Also - KANSAS went to Manilla / Phillipines

There were a few complaints about the US Trump negotiators getting out over their skies. Maybe the sanctions had been placed on the table and Trump had to pull back those negotiators offers.
Something changed expectations, but Trump sounds pumped and looks really great.

You think so? Maybe it is tonight’s bout of insomnia, but I got the opposite impression.

I don’t think this was totally unexpected. This is same playbook they’ve played before. Give up a facility, promise to denuke, and get sanctions relief. Other times people fell for it. POTUS did not. Sanctions don’t change till actions happen.
Don’t forget-art of the deal-sometimes you have to walk away. I thought it interesting that Hanoi delegation headed to China, Pompeo headed to Manila, Kim stayed overnight in Hanoi, POTUS headed home.
Then this deal is with China, not North Korea.
Huawei could be at the center of it. Chinese economy is on its knees. Automotive manufacturers are closing plants there at an increasing pace. Word’s out there is no market available for anyone that isn’t Chinese, regardless of how good your tech is.
Kim stayed in Hanoi. That is interesting. Wonder how long he stays there.
The Germans have some lovely words such as sippenhaft, which is basically making a family collectively guilty. In the 1940's, a politically-connected guy named Müller - or without umlaut, "Mueller" - relentlessly dealt with "crimes" and was enthusiastic about such things.
I wonder what the German term for "threatening the rest of a family if one member doesn't collaborate" is? I'm sure it would be mellifluous.

Does anyone know where John Kerry is?
Unless BIG BIG BIG HISTORICAL things were contingent on a Hanoi deal or announcement, which it may have been. (i.e. Declaration of end of state-of-war/re-unification).
If that's the case, BIG BIG BIG may be delayed. If BIG BIG BIG is cancelled or postponed, I think Q would signal that in his posts.
But maybe BIG BIG BIG is NOT NK related, in which case it would still be on.
I hope for the latter, though I still see NK working out eventually.
#TheArtOfTheDeal
good catch - I missed that (”placeholder”) ... the more you know! ;)
Elaine Chao at CPAC says that CA has until March 5 before the labor dept. spigot is shut off; notes they’re already holding nearly $1 billion.

Look for this point in the press conference overnight I alluded to above ... I believe it was KANSAS that said they told the NORKs something that the NORKs didn’t know that we knew ... my first instinct was the servers, too. However it was in broader context of facilities and operations. Before that POTUS had said something to the effect that we know everything and have very detailed SAT ops.
More weird crap ay Denver airport.

Gargoyle awakens for DIAs 24th anniversary, startling and amusing passersby
If the blue, fiery-eyed demon Bronco statue just outside of Denver International Airport wasnt enough to unnerve passengers streaming down the airports concourse, a talkative gargoyle may do the trick.
Apparently able to see her startled reaction, the gargoyle responded in kind: What, youve never seen a talking gargoyle before. Welcome to Illuminati Headquarters I mean, Denver International Airport.
Dont forget-art of the deal-sometimes you have to walk away. I thought it interesting that Hanoi delegation headed to China, Pompeo headed to Manila, Kim stayed overnight in Hanoi, POTUS headed home.
I thought DJT looked fed up, but again, I was up past my bedtime. I do think he gave it his best shot (yet again), got shat upon, and cut his losses (unlike the previous four presidents who seemed to be okay with giving away the store).

I’m thinking there may have been too many variables with NK and that there must be something that’s a little more ‘sure’. If that makes any sense.
#Don’tAlwaysExpressMyselfClearly
Is she talking about the "bullet train to nowhere" money Trump held back? Or some other spigot?
Isn't Chao McConell's wife? Or is that some other Chinese lady Trump appointed?
Love to hear talk of cutting off Cali's federal welfare payments. You guy's don't deserve having to pay a retard tax to us.
Kim stayed in Hanoi. That is interesting. Wonder how long he stays there.

Fox Business Reported that he is now headed out.
