In which the pond tries to keep up, thanks to the bromancer ...

 


The news that Kim was being cheered in the gum-free streets of Singapore is no doubt a triumph for all concerned, but there's little to be gained contemplating a process which will take a long time to unfold.

Yet such are the torments of the 24/7 news cycle that the reptiles must pay attention, and the pond must pay attention to the reptiles paying attention …

This leads to some pretty desperate straits, as in this attempt by the bromancer to attract the punters …


We're doing Kris Kringle early this year? It's a mystery present?



Indeed, indeed, why would anyone, especially a seventy one year old man, turn up a day early when he could surely just jet in an hour before the meeting, wave impudent jet lag aside, and get down to scoring a deal in a minute or so …

As for WCW and anything can happen and probably will, the level of desperation in the scribbling was remarkable. The pond can safely predict that anything can happen tomorrow, and perhaps it will, and perhaps it won't.

And the bromancer didn't get much better in his second effort …


The only thing the pond would usually offer in these sorts of exercises is a chance to flick through in search of a few acorns.

Then bury them, in the hope that later, down the long track, the bromancer would be caught out in a foolishness …

 

But the bromancer is being a bit cunning. Anything can happen - who could argue with that? - and the Donald is a worry, and there are dangers, and who could argue with that?


Very disappointing, and very un-Foxlike, as the punters there are ready to hand out the Nobel prize all over again …

Meanwhile, the reptiles ran another sceptical piece, this time from the Poms …


It turns out that Trump is a nasty man, a domineering and aggressive alpha male, but Kim is actually very polite and respectful. Oh sure there are have been a few nasty incidents, but let's not get excited about any of that ...


Indeed, indeed, politeness and respect is required, and the more assassinations and airport murders that are done with politeness and respect, the sooner the Donald will be put back into his box …

Indeed, indeed, and as CNN's Chris Cuomo interviews Dennis Rodman, master diplomat, sobbing his heart out, the pond feels an immense tranquility, and understands that, after a lifetime of wishing and hoping and praying, it has finally landed on the moon …

Meanwhile, back in the land of Oz, there's a different sort of moon landing being observed by Pope, with more Pope to be found here

  1. Safer on the moon DP. We’ve all had hopes and dreams of a quasi normal life dashed this last couple of years.
    It could be worse...apparently there a couple of Whitehouse staffers whose only job is taping together all the paperwork,memos etc.that Trump insists on tearing into pieces before throwing them on the floor.
    Said restorations are then filed as per regulation. And for their efforts at doing their job....they were sacked!
