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

Strange world indeed.



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

I actually don't think Dennis Rodman is stupid. (Trump is another story). At a bare minimum, he's got common sense / street smarts our zdear Leader sorely lacks.

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?

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!

Ummm ... we don't have diplomatic relations with N. Korea.

This. North Korea has no medical infrastructure. And having an American die in jail is a big problem for them. Once he was in a coma, there is no upside to them keeping him. Hopefully that means he still has a chance at recovery.

Yes. I know that. Do you think Trump does? Since we can all agree he doesn't, I can see him tweeting an appointment to a post that doesn't exist.

But, more to the point, it was a joke. Maybe a bad one that needed an emoji of some sort?

.

The problem is not traveling to a communist country, it's traveling to an insane country. People travel to China and Vietnam all the time. Traveling to Cuba has never been a problem, at least while you are in Cuba. I spent a week in Cuba when 2000 was becoming 2001. We had no problems in Cuba, even when expressing anti Cuba sentiments. The problem is with the U.S. Cuba does not stamp your visa in your passport because they know the trip may not be approved by the U.S. But they do stamp a circle in your passport with the word "Bank" inside. Once when I was attending a convention in Denmark, a U.S. immigration official saw it and asked what kind of work I did. I handed her my DOJ ID and she gave me no problem after that. I was in Cuba legally with the the Millennium Society. It was officially a medical aid trip. While there, I saw a friend of mine who had come in illegally through Nassau. We flew directly to and from Miami. Of course, travel to Cuba is no longer prohibited, even though it is still communist.

Hope! Change! Perhaps! These are the words of clueless liberals.

Did Dennis Rodman have anything to do with this release?

As soon as the GOP repeals the Trading With The Enemy Act and sanctions. Shouldn't be too long.

The problem started when he violated their laws.

Why do you keep screaming about liberals when someone says they "hope" Otto is okay? I think every American is hoping that this kid is going to be alright against all odds.

By the way, N. Korea is still holding three other Americans. I hope the crack Tillerson/Trump/Rodman team is also working to free them.

That's probably the real reason why Rodman was there.
