Even #TheResistance Should Root for Peace with North Korea

Yeah, I get it. Donald Trump rubs a lot of people the wrong way, including me sometimes. But what's happening in Singapore with a chance at peace and denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is momentous to say the least. Trump, for his part, seems optimistic:

I am on my way to Singapore where we have a chance to achieve a truly wonderful result for North Korea and the World. It will certainly be an exciting day and I know that Kim Jong-un will work very hard to do something that has rarely been done before...

Yet some in #TheResistance seem to be less enthused...

Fuck Donald Trump

Fuck Kim Jong Un

Fuck their fake summit

Fuck Vladimir Putin

Fuck Dennis Rodman

Fuck the media for fawning over this

Fuck the media for helping to install Trump to begin with

Fuck anyone who voted for Trump

If you’re offended by this tweet, fuck you too!

OK, The Palmer Report is just barely above Louise Mensch levels of idiocy. But even the Democrats themselves aren't being very pragmatic in what might be a subconscious hope Trump fails. As Nicholas Kristof notes,

"The letter also insisted on “anywhere, anytime” inspections of suspected North Korean nuclear sites, as well as those linked to its chemical and biological warfare programs.

"It’s almost unimaginable that North Korea will allow such intrusive inspections — any country would resist having an enemy poke around its military bases, underground bomb shelters and border fortifications. So these Democrats are essentially saying that no plausible deal will pass muster."

Let's hope for cooler heads (including Trump's... and Dennis Rodman's of course (what timeline is this???)) to rule the day. Take a break #TheResistance.
