Liberal media is now glorifying Kim's sister because they don't like Trump

    Uhmmm, the Koreas having a united Olympic Team is a great symbol. It would do the entire world a bunch of good if those 2 regimes could start to get along, maybe even talk?

    Why would the US (as a State, because that's Pence's job there) make a dismissive gesture while everyone else is trying to be conciliatory and possibly open some dialog?

    And BobbytheGreat is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

    slavery isn't a great symbol, which is what that cheering squad is. Kim Jung Un's sister isn't a great symbol. She's the propaganda minister for the evil North Korean government.

    It's basically someone fawning over a public appearance by Joseph Goebbels.

    I'm well aware of the NK regime's practices. Nobody I have seen is praising them for anything other than not being assholes this week.

    Having the South and North come together even if for a sporting event (this is what happened, read some of the ROK media coverage) is a good thing.

    'Look at these slaves in their matching outfits and synchronized cheers! Adorable!'

    These people are here against their will and will be slaughtered if they mess up a chant and this is the headline ABC writes......

    I applaud Pence for not shaking her hand.

    The praise for this woman is strange. Screw this b****.

    It's very strange that the same folks who have almost no problems at all with the Russians trying to sabotage our democratic elections find it horrific that anyone would criticize Pence for not being statesman-like at the Olympics.

    Pence and his supporters are trying to make a stand at the stupidest of times.

    Neither of us actually know. What I do know is that I believe the North Korean govt. is probably the most oppressive and restrictive in the world. I am in favor of all the sanctions against them and more.

    Of course, none of that has anything to do with the Olympics. I'm not sure why the poor deceased young man would want to tarnish the Olympics rather than actually take meaningful action in dealing with N. Korea.

    But if you prefer clumsy misguided irrelevant show of stances rather than substantial meaningful stances in the actual political arena, then that is up to you.

    Putin's regime is a shithole. The Russian people deserve better.

    You do realize that's not ABC praising Kim Jong, right? Or are you that brainwashed now?


    Yeah, he's "extremely popular" in Russia the same way Trump is "extremely popular" here.

    If you are losing a diplomacy contest to the most reviled regime on the planet it may be time to stop and re-evaluate your strategy.

    Not in any kind of fair election they didn't. Putin jailed his political opponent and barred him from running in any kind of election again.

    I have yet to see anyone "praise" her. The b**** is outcharming Pence, that's for sure. It's also not praising her either.

    If someone wins a race and you say - that person beat the other person - it's not praise, it's just a statement of fact. Unfortunately you guys don't like facts.
