My sister posted another all-caps gem on Facebook. This is what's under the red hats.

I AM WONDERING THIS MORNING HOW MANY AMERICANS ARE GOING TO GIVE PRESIDENT TRUMP THE CREDIT FOR PUTTING THE LEADERS OF NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA TOGETHER ? THIS IS A WONDERFUL DAY. I HAVE SAID TRUMP WAS GOD SENT. NOW I SURELY BELIEVE IT. WITHOUT HIM PUTTING HIS FOOT DOWN TO NORTH KOREA, THIS WOULD NEVER HAD HAPPENED. LET OUR GREAT PRESIDENT DO HIS JOB. WE WILL HAVE A GREAT COUNTRY AGAIN. THINK OF YOUR GRANDKIDS AND GREAT GRANDKIDS. LET US ALL GET TOGETHER FOR ONE AMERICA. GOD BLESS TRUMP. ️️️️️

Reachable people already took sober note of his "fire and fury like the world has never seen" and boasting of having a "bigger button" than Kim's.

What this type imagine happened here, that the mighty U.S. cowed inferior nations with threats of genocide, is exactly what the John Bircher/Tea Partier/Trumpster people think our government should always be doing. The only thing lacking this time is the actual destruction, but they are newly reassured that -- finally -- they have a strong leader others quail in fear before.

belief that the US has a bigger dick than every other country. That’s what Florida is if you look at it right, which Trumpites do. And having the yuugest Dick means we have the obligation of smacking everyone around with it.

How can anyone ever convince them otherwise? Have you seen Florida on a map of the world!?

While I'd have a hard time giving trump any credit for a possible reconciliation between NK and SK, if it occurs, at least trump would not have messed that up (if, in fact, he does not mess it up).

During the Olympics just held in South Korea, President Moon Jae-in, invited North Korea for the first time ever, and Kim Jong Un’s sister attended. It made the world news, while at the same time Vice President Pence and his wife notably, for all the world to see, snubbed her.

Trump and his evil twin Pence did not make this happen. It was South Korea which would be the first casualty if Kim Jong Un ever used nuclear missiles on another country.

Only the Deplorables would claim Trump made this happen because he acted as crazy as they come when talking about “Rocket Man”.

It must be the new world peace policy of the US to insult and threaten the world with total anhiliation. Way to go! USA! USA! MAGA! MAGA! Peace in our time!

The Trump administration was threatening to boycott of North Korea was invited. This didn't happen because of him but despite him.

This is a perfect example of Dems losing on messaging. If Pres Obama took credit for this the right would be setting their hair on fire and attacking him non-stop. FFS they couldn't even given him an ounce of credit when he got Bin Laden. Instead, they made fun of him and tried to belittle him by comparing him to the Navy Seals, reframing it as if Obama was TRYING to take credit for a single handed capture - when EVERYONE knows he didn't and wouldn't. The Rs don't care tho. they are all like jr. high bullies. The repeat it and repeat it, create memes about it all to emasculate Obama.

Christians base their entire “spiritual” life on ahistoric make believe. They allow that make believe to poison most other aspects of their lives. They are predisposed to believe any fantasy that comports with their existing biases. Ergo, they love tRump.

The fact that you don’t get tRump simply tells your sister that you are not privy to the “truths” that she and her fellow Christians know, because, well, they’re special. Up is down and black is white.

She’ll pray for you...

appropriate to the situation. But I see no reason at all to blame other religions in this instance when the assholes involved are the fucking Christians. For too long we’ve accepted smearing other religions in a generic way by not calling out the specific religion behind an obvious bias. And why? To avoid calling out the fucking Christians in this country for trying to impose their damn religious fantasies on the rest of us. By playing nice.

If you have no problem fighting the “both sides do it” crap when it comes to Ds vs Rs, then you should have no problem pointing out when it’s the Christians behind some immoral bullshit, rather than non-specific “religious groups.”

Seriously, I'm sorry to hear you have a divided family, just like most of us do - or at least divisions among old friends. We have a tremendous amount of healing to do. But first, Republican politicians and right-wing media must go.

Make China Great Again.

Of course, I do hope the administration succeeds in persuading N. Korea to de-nuclearize. But I also hope they'll be competent enough not to pay too high a price or to play right into China's plans.

If they actually accomplish something good, I'm willing to give them credit.

I still give GWB credit for Medicare Part D and the initial stages of the bailout that stemmed the financial crisis.
