The CNN headline — when you click through — becomes "Kim Jong Un offers rare olive branch to South Korea."
Olive branch... nuclear button... ???
Kim wants to "work together to alleviate the tensions and work together as a people of the same heritage to find peace and stability" — but you have to accept him as an equal:
"The entire mainland of the US is within the range of our nuclear weapons and the nuclear button is always on the desk of my office. They should accurately be aware that this is not a threat but a reality. No matter how much America wants to attack us with their military might and nuclear power, they know that now we possess such great nuclear power and therefore they will not dare."Is there really a button on his desk? Or is that just a figure of speech... or a fake button...
Now that was a fake laugh, but give the lady credit for laughing her brains out when she must have been enraged that some staffers got the word wrong (and wrote "overcharged" instead of "reset" on the button they broke off the hotel whirlpool for that embarrassing cutesy ceremony).
Well, if you haven't heard: It's cold out there.
"Listen, big boy/You’ve got me hooked, and how/I would die if I should lose you now!/Button up your overcoat/When the wind is free/Take good care of yourself/You belong to me!/Oh, eat an apple every day/Get to bed by three...."

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Iranian and North Korean regimes fall while Trump is President. Coincidence? Nah.
Haven't' slept off New Years yet. Go Iranian, people go! Turn the world upside down! Love from Texas... deep ass Trump country.
Button, button. Who's got the button?
The Amish don't have buttons (nor zippers). They have hooks. Peaceful sorts, they are.
In my freshman year at PSU (1969) during finals week, most residents of my dorm floor received a care package. A small box of snacks with a small, plastic panic button inside the box. Some enterprising businessperson obtained our home addresses, contacted our parents, who then succumbed to the $5 sales pitch. I marveled at the ingenuity.
Kim: The greatest man of peace! He will speak before Parliament from the AlGore-Obama Memorial Lectern. :->
Have you got your button, bitches?
Kim Jong Un got his!
That's right, he one of the fashionable world leaders!
Now you be sorry, motherfuckers!
Rook, I going to push now.
Oooooh, so crose. So crose to pushing.
Keep oil flowing.
Was talking to my new nephew-in-law at Christmas. He is from South Korea and has recently moved here with his new wife (my niece who lived in South Korea for a couple of years). He told me that all the inflammatory rhetoric that has recently been reported in the US media is old hat to South Koreans. They are not upset by it at all because it's pretty much how it is all the time.
I always figured that the worst fallout from the Iraq invasion was that it made it obvious to the whole world that nothing short of nuclear weapons able to reach the mainland United States could prevent a successful “conventional” US invasion, were the US of a mind. I used the word “conventional” in quotes because I think that computing power has transformed weaponry to something never seen before. Iraq had the long range artillery, but it couldn’t really hit a target until it took a few ranging shots, meaning it would not survive until it landed its first blow. The Soviet tanks were little more than ducks in a shooting gallery, not even able to get within range to join the fight. Air superiority was completely out of the question, and air defenses were short lived.
I think that the Iraq War is foremost in the minds of the Iranians and North Koreans.
Oh yeah, and Iraq’s “million man army” was really nothing but a boon to undertakers.
We know that Obama sent pallets of cold, hard cash to the mullahs in Iran to suspend their nuke program. What we forget is that former Rapist-in-Chief, Bill Clinton did the same for Kim Jong (mentally) Il, the current Kim's daddy.
What is it about democrat presidents making investments like this. Talk about Cash for Clunkers.
Now that was a fake laugh, but give the lady credit for laughing her brains out when she must have been enraged that some staffers got the word wrong (and wrote "overcharged" instead of "reset" on the button they broke off the hotel whirlpool for that embarrassing cutesy ceremony).
And whose fault is it besides her own? Most of the best translators in America work for the US State Department. She was about to meet Russians and didn’t have translators with her? She entrusted the translation to someone who was not a professional Russian translator? Why did she do that? She gave the job to someone who didn’t even know to use Google translate — why did she do that? This episode was the first sign that Hillary had no managerial skills, or perhaps the second sign after her botched efforts to create a health insurance plan back in the 1990s.
Phillipe Reines was the guy who got the Russian spelling wrong. Hillary kept him on.
"Now that was a fake laugh, but give the lady credit for laughing her brains out when she must have been enraged that some staffers got the word wrong (and wrote "overcharged" instead of "reset" on the button they broke off the hotel whirlpool for that embarrassing cutesy ceremony)."
Speaking of "brains out", was it Seth Rich who told her the wrong word?
Give Hillary credit for laughing about a stupid stunt, done in stupid fashion with stupid mistakes, dreamed up by stupid . . . OK, who did dream up that stupid stunt anyway?
She's the "Smartest Woman EVAR to Grace the International Stage(TM)" with the smartest, most credentialed staff (or something like that) and then she goes and drops this ginormous steaming heap of stupid in Russia, and we're supposed to give her "credit" for laughing?
Yes and Wendy Sherman, presided over both deals, and yet they continue to learn the wrong lesson, in Kim the 1st case, he invited aq khan to provide assistance.
Philippe 'reset' reines, a coffee fetcher for Al gore, presided over that operation, then they gave him cleanup duties in Libya after ambassador Stevens assassination, speaking of disposable men, mike Hastings met his end a few months later after challenging reines.
Did he mean to say "accurately" or "acutely"?
Blackmail is illegal. He needs him a better line than that to get his slush funds from Trump instead of a quick death.
The only question now is whether Mad Dog's 1st Marine Division wants to wait for warmer weather this time. The Frozen Chosin is not forgotten.
"[Helen] Kane's childlike voice and Bronx dialect eventually became the inspiration for the voice of cartoon character Betty Boop (most famously using Kane's famous catchphrase Boop Boop a Doop)."
I thought she looked familiar. She looks like Betty Boop, too. (or, I guess, Boop looks like Kane).
A button is featured prominently in "The Crown"
Let's see, do I choose the silliness and ineffectiveness of Hillary/Obama or the crassness but effectiveness of Trump? Hmmm.
Buster loves buttons.

Not at all, just means she was either fake or stupid. (or both)
And since she ultimately was in charge of the "effort," she failed.
Is there any evidence that the wrong word actually was printed on that button, and it was not just a clever quip by Lavrov?
Are we sure it's a nuclear button? Or does someone bring him a Diet Coke when he presses it?
Curious George
Hillary's button was clearly identified under us law as an "emergency stop" button. It could not legally be used as a reset button, or anything else no matter what she called it.
Laws don't apply to her.
Otoh, if kim has one to launch nukes, that might just be the ultimate emergency stop button. As in stopping all life in NoKo when it draws our retaliation.
John Henry
The button triggers pneumatic tube delivery of snacks..like Choco Pie.
So they vandalized private property to pull of the stupid reset stunt? Quite a combination of arrogance and stupidity.
Little Rocket Man should realize that his so-called nuclear button is a suicide switch. If he ever pushes it, the end result would be the fiery destruction of his regime and his country.
You have to wonder whether Kim's button is connected to what he thinks it's connected to.
Things got cray cray in the whirlpool..
Was there any verifiable proof that Hillary surrounded herself with anyone other than sycophantic fuck ups? All the things coming to light point to a petty tyrant who bossed her terrified staff around with diminishing effectiveness.
Is there any evidence that the wrong word actually was printed on that button,
Well, since it has been pretty widely discussed, and the spelling error detailed, and I believe pictures have been published, it seems like if she did get it right, we would have heard about it.
But you go ahead and believe in the dowager dotard if you like. My question is, did Putin consider being asked to pay 150 million or so for approval of the Uranium One deal an “overcharge”?
I forgot, he got the spiking of Keystone XL thrown in. Fuck over Canada, help Putin, it was a win-win!
Why did Hillary ask the Russkie if the button had the right word on it? My guess is that somebody on her "team" had expressed doubt about that, maybe even had realized that the button had the wrong word on it, but it was too late to change the button. So Hillary says to the Russkie, Did we use the right word? and has been prepared with the LAUGH!!! when he says No.
If I'm right, does that make you think more, or less, of Hillary? Before you answer, ask yourself whether, during the 2015-16 campaign, Hillary ever did anything as effective as that laugh.
Kevin wins the thread.
I haven’t laughed so hard all year.
