"fire and the fury like the world has never seen"

Bluster and bloviating like the world has never seen.

From late 2016:
Quote
A “Freeze”
For some, “freezing” or “capping” the North Korean nuclear program and trying to eliminate it over time through dialogue should be the goal.

It is important to recall that a freeze leading to denuclearization was the central premise of both the October 1994 Agreed Framework and the September 2005 six-party agreement. Both efforts failed. Importantly, a credible freeze or cap is only as good as our ability to verify it, and North Korea has made clear it will not accept international verification. U.S. inability to verify a freeze would leave North Korea’s uranium enrichment facilities in operation. Pyongyang would also be free to improve its warheads, manufacture larger warheads, and make other refinements to its nuclear weapons during a so-called freeze. A freeze that does not halt the testing and deployment of ballistic missiles also would allow Pyongyang to continue to improve its delivery systems.

If the goal of a freeze is to prevent the North from making additional nuclear weapons, it will not work. It would leave the United States and its allies dangerously vulnerable. Unless a temporary freeze on nuclear testing and plutonium production is part of a firm agreement that leads quickly to complete and verifiable denuclearization, it runs the risk of creating the illusion of security and progress where none exists.

"Expansions don't grow old and die. Something kills an expansion," Robert Frick, chief economist at the Navy Federal Credit Union, told CBS MoneyWatch recently.
That killer could very well be the U.S. trade wars. While President Donald Trump reached an agreement to restart talks with his top trade rival, China, at this week's G20 summit, Mexico and now India remain potential sore spots. The Federal Reserve has essentially promised to drop interest rates if the tariffs imposed so far have a noticeable impact on growth. But with rates already historically low, that many not be enough. The Fed's current target rate, between 2.25% and 2.5%, is the lowest it has been at the peak of an economic expansion.“

Yet another law enforcement agency which ran out of functional adults to hire.  ProPub is a great news agency, it's filling some of the gaps in in-depth journalism created by dying newspapers.

In the last few hours we saw in Korea a good example of the culture of encounter. I salute the protagonists, with a prayer that such a significant gesture will be a further step on the road to peace, not only on that peninsula, but for the good of the entire world," he told thousands of people in St. Peter's Square for his weekly address and blessing.

We are very much in a flavor of the day period.

"In the last facility, I was not safe from the officers," she told CNN's Natasha Chen on her way into the Clint facility. Ocasio-Cortez grew frustrated during the tours. She screamed at Border Patrol agents for trying to take selfies with her before she toured one facility, according to her spokesman Corbin Trent.
