Oh, come on. The kid was imprisoned for fucking around in a forbidden area and taking down posters. How is that Obama's fault?

I hope he is okay.

Let's start with the concept of 'f*ing around in a forbidden area and taking down posters' and being pulled out of an airport and imprisoned for hard labor over it. Now let's discuss the idea that if he DID contract botulism, how did that taint the North Korean prison food supply? I'm sure it was an accident that the food was bad. Now let's add to that if it wasn't botulism, hard labor in a North Korean prison camp couldn't possibly lead to an accident, heatstroke, hypothermia, etc, right?

Obama, Hillary, left him there to rot. Trump isn't even 6 months into his administration, and the guy is released. And are working on the release of other Americans, as they did prior to this one.

I think maybe you don't get how North Korea works.

First-- He is a UVA student going to study in Hong Kong. UVA did not take him to North Korea. That was his own, independent brilliant call.

Second-- US citizens got to North Korea. They are locked up. Someone important visits and gives North Korea some attention. The American citizen is released. See Dennis Rodmen. More US citizens go and are locked up. This is a predictable pattern, and citizens were also released under Obama, and Bush, etc.

In related news: this is why you don't negotiate with terrorists. Or send Dennis Rodman to negotiate.

Also: read the Department of State Travel Warnings before traveling to hostile countries: https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/alertswarnings/north-korea-travel-warning.html They in fact say that US citizens are at significant risk for imprisonment and long term detention.

But-- kudos for managing to get Hillary into the list of people responsible. Never mind that she was a presidential candidate at the time and John Kerry was SoS. I think we can all agree this was her fault. Emails!

I'm well aware how North Korea works. What amazes me is that the left seems to be so damn weak, they get away with it. Kerry...Clinton...take your pick. Both are weak. She was supposed to be President and has so much clout, right? Why couldn't she get the job done?

Regardless of Hillary, negotiation requires doing something like, well, giving Iran billions on a pallet in the dark of night. Trump has used his relationship with China to get that little creep in line. That's not negotiation - that's letting someone know their damn days are numbered if they don't play ball.

You do realize that a political candidate (private citizen) negotiating with a hostile foreign power, like say, NK or Russia, is illegal, right? Of course you don't see a problem with this. Trumpkin.

1. I will never understand why non-spies go to these places.

2. Poor kid. It wasn't botulism, but who knows? It may not have been the fault of NK either.

HAHAHAHAHAHHHHAAA!! They've showed such compassion and concern in the past....

You mean Hillary Clinton isn't the superpower you liberals have painted her as? Really?

There is no doubt he was helpful, given his relationship with dear leader. But let's be honest....if Rodman was that influential, it would have happened almost immediately after he was captured.

Seems like Rogues attract Rogues. Now another Rogue making his fourth visit/mission.

We mean that Clinton is not supposed to violate the Logan Act. Nor should any candidate. Ahem.

Denies Rodman and a North Korean dictator as BFFs. It's a strange world.

My question is - why did they release him now -a year into the coma? Something doesn't sound right.

Also, giving him a sleeping pill - perhaps an induced coma - for botulism? Botulism can be fatal. I hope that N. Korea is just throwing terminology around.

Yes, me, too. Hoping something is lost in translation.

If I had to guess, he was not in a coma for a year. More likely, he ran into a medical issue and it became grave. At which point North Korea decided it was better to ship him home than deal with the fallout of having him die in their custody.

I think you may be right. Do you think the Dennis Rodman visit coincidental or do you think N. Korea summoned him to help diffuse what may be a very bad situation?

Strange world indeed.



It's amazing how sharp and smart Rodman actually is, just ask Trump.

No. I do not think Dennis Rodman visiting North Korea the day an American citizen is released was coincidental. That strains credulity. Now, whose idea was it to send him and why? Who knows.

But, I do think it's time to appoint Dennis Rodman ambassador to North Korea. They get him. We get rid of him. He's as qualified as anyone else working for Trump. So much winning!

That's dumb. Boys have no special entitlement to act like dumbasses just because they're boys.
