All this winning is getting hard to take:
North Korea’s main newspaper accused the United States on Sunday of staging military drills to prepare an invasion while at the same time pursuing dialogue with “a smile on its face.”
Rodong Sinmun, the official mouthpiece of the Workers’ Party of Korea, cited alleged U.S. troop movements in the region, which it called “extremely provocative and dangerous” and said they threatened to derail the dialogue between the United States and North Korea.
The U.S. military called the accusation “far fetched.”
The opinion piece came two days after President Trump canceled a planned trip to North Korea by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, citing a lack of progress in getting North Korea to surrender its nuclear weapons.Don't worry, though. North Korea is "no longer a nuclear threat" according to a Very Stable Genius.

o Trump family businesses — and whether they comply with the Constitution's emoluments clause, including the Chinese trademark grant to the Trump Organization

o Trump's proposed transgender ban for the military
o Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's business dealings
o White House staff's personal email use
o Cabinet secretary travel, office expenses, and other misused perksThe list goes on and on. Sounds like a list that only the most rotted- out, corrupt party in recent memory would find objectionable, along with their base, of course.

Fox News has disabled comments on YouTube videos about the death of John McCain following an outpouring of nastiness on the network's own website from its commenters.It's the same over at über- right sites like spittle- flecked Free Republic.
The Trump regime has created hundreds of orphans in its border crackdown. The number is holding steady while the Trump regime passes the buck to the ACLU (found via Infidel 753):
As of last week, 565 migrant children who were separated from their parents by the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy remained separated and in U.S. custody. Late Thursday, the Trump administration told a federal court in San Diego that that number has barely budged, dropping to 528 nearly a month after the court’s deadline to reunite all of the separated children. Of the still-separated group, 23 are younger than 5 years old.You'll find more links ranging a wide spectrum over at Infidel 753's link round up. Be a well- rounded citizen and go browse.
Of the children who remain separated, the Trump administration says 343 have a parent who was deported without them. The American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the parents in the federal class action lawsuit, has taken the lead on trying to find and contact those parents, its attorneys hope many of those cases can be swiftly resolved.
