Don't know about you, but I considered it a gigantic success when Trump didn't just give away South Korea to Kim Jong-un (which is how "Young'un" is spelt in Korean, I believe).
The human species and it seems particularly those of the American subspecies seem to be uniquely untrainable. We seem to be totally unmoved by the hand on hot stove method of learning dangerous behavior and a substantial proportion of us ready to again place our hand down again on the Tя☭mp stove in 2024. I am hopeful that there remain a sufficient number of us with burned palms that will not happen. However, I fear the number of reckless Republicans I see gleefully running toward that hot stove might cause us all to immolate this time.
