Basketball Hall-of-Famer Dennis Rodman will travel to North Korea for his first visit to the communist nation in more than three years, a senior Trump administration official confirmed to Fox News.

He is going as a private citizen, the official said. It's our understanding he hasn't landed yet.

The SOB should stay there this time, and be true to his “feelings”.

He was able to qualify under their new Hostage Visa program.

Sorry to burst your bubble but they have nukes, and ICBMS.

Bummer.

One MOAB isn’t going to take out 14,000 artillery positions.

A pre-emptive nuclear strike on Pyongyang smuggled in will end this all real quick.

They can’t know it’s coming. Or Seoul is in trouble.

I’m not sure what he is up to. Lets see if he makes as big an ass out of himself as he did before.

As much as I hate to say it, if he built a little connection with Kim, no matter how big an ass he was, it may actually open a door for us now.

We live in a crazy mixed up world. Sometimes things play out really strangely.

Is that a punchline? “:^)

Hey, Rodman! You know all those cheering crowds you encounter in NK? They’re not that happy to see you; it’s just that they’ve been told, “when you see the world’s tallest clown walk by, it means the circus is coming to town!”

Hey, I just want to clarify as a Jew living in the “west bank”—they don't have (or have never used) rockets/missiles here. You are referring to our southeastern friends in Gaza who have their own autonomous enclave!

It’s not that rodham goes, it’s that he comes back.

Some dimwit assumed that we would use just one MOAB but it wasn’t me. We built over a dozen and have used only one of that stockpile.

North Korea has a reliable MRBM. They are currently working on an IRBM. They haven’t yet tested an ICBM much less married one to a nuclear weapon.

Bummer indeed.

From what I’ve read over the years it’s the artillery tubes that have been the big concern. Thousands of them within range of Seoul, popping in and out of tunnels.

Any attack on the North is going to have to eliminate them quickly, as well as his missiles. I can’t see Trump leaving this for the next guy to solve. The Norks with nuclear blackmail just isn’t anything we can live with. The Soviets were at least rationale.

You may regret having said that, what I mean is, you have positioned yourself mightily for criticism if in fact, the Trump Administration turns out to have been behind this via back channel.

Has anyone actually considered the possibility that Rodman is just a showman and that he had a serious side to him. A side that perhaps can be used by the govt. to spy on the Little Dictator. Rodman is the only American in such a position. He may be a nut but he may be a patriotic agent as well.

My first thought when I saw the headline was “backchannel”. I decided to Google “Denis Rodman net worth 2016.” It appears at that time his net worth was about minus $one million, after his divorce settlement. Maybe he is being paid to do this??? If he is broke, who is buying his tickets, etc.?

I think Trump is behind this mission.

“I think Trump is behind this mission.”

As they say, “Time Will Tell!” But I do agree that Trump isn’t going to take a pass on “fixing” the North Korea problem. The only real problem here is South Korea.

I think Lil Dong Ick should kneel for Dennis’s Rodman.
