I guess Pence and Trump were never taught this.
I guess if a guy next door to you killed his family you would go over and shake his hand.
North Korea kills their own people everyday or lets them starve to death and we are suppose
to be OK with that. Get a grip on reality of what is going on over there.

While many things that happens in N. Korea is totally unjustifiable, a good portion of what is claimed is also not true.

We make things up to try and demonize others that won't bend to our every whims and people lap it up.

Syria never used chemical weapons either. Now this article is biased as Obama fed us the same crap.

This is what we do.
Ah yes, one of the useful ...

I am glad that Whoopi untied the right against North Korea. I recall previous threads in which right-wing posters defended what North Korea did to Otto Warmbier (his father was sitting next to Pence at the Olympics).

This article just shows the dishonestly of Breitbart, and conservatives just eat it up. It wasn't North Korea as the headline states, it was the unified Korean team. He snubbed the South Koreans who are ostensibly our friends, and the host of the Olympics. Disgusting!! A total embarrassment.

Pence demonstrated the hypocrisy of the Trump administration. He went to Korea to see the Olympics! If he really wanted to make a statement he could have stayed home. Instead, he stays planted in his seat to make a statement -- at a sporting event! Pence who said sporting events were no place to make a political statement! Unbelievable hypocrisy.

The other thing Pence doesn't get is that NK working at a peaceful endeavor with SK is a good overture and should be encouraged, not snubbed. Diplomacy 101A.

Pretty funny watching the video though. Pence was craning his neck and flopping his head back and forth trying to see the action from his seat around everyone who was standing. I hope he didn't hurt himself. LOL!

Whoopie used to be a very good comedian . . way back when.

However, the more angry and vile she becomes, the more it shows on her face.

We kill our own people also in many different ways.

Why shouldn't other countries avoid our leaders at events like this?

Silliest thing that I've seen posted on this forum in a while.

Amazing that you think Kim Jung Un, a brutal dictator, is looking for anything beyond protecting his own ass. Reality 101A. Carter, Clinton, and Obama fell for the same nonsense.

And you have no idea that Pence thinks. But here's the thing, if Pence did exactly the opposite, he'd be criticized for kissing Kim Jung Un's ass.

Yes it is earth-shattering and totally outrageous and we should all run around wailing and rendering our garments!

Except that neither you nor anyone else will remember this by next week. By then you will be indicting Pence for slaughtering Monarch Butterflies or some other atrocity du jour.
