Trump greets Japanese emperor with a handshake and nod - but no bow This is the freaking media for you. Obama was criticized for bowing too low. Trump is getting criticized for not bowing at all. The Emperor of Japan post World War II is a purely honorary position. The position holds no political standing. He is merely a respected symbol of the people. A foreign dignitary should show respect but the US president is not one of his subjects. The US president on the world stage would be considered a position of at least equal standing. Showing deference to the man in his own country is the polite and proper thing to do and shaking his hand and not bowing is perfectly within Japan's standards of etiquette for foreigners. Bet you the Japanese have NO fucks to give on this.

Bet you the Japanese have NO fucks to give on this. Let's look at it on the Japanese side. Bowing and handshakes are mutually exclusive. You don't do both. (Only dumb foreigners do that.) Since the Emperor offered his hand Trump did right (even though I bet he was TRYING to do "wrong" ie the opposite of Obama) Obama did embarrass himself but not because he bowed low, but because he did both. If he had bowed without the handshake he would have made a very positive impression on the Japanese, showing both respect and knowledge of their culture; which is the one thing the Japanese rarely expect from foreigners and are SUPER pleased to receive. By simply shaking hands Trump met the lowest bar expected of him, but at least he did what was expected (the Japanese love this) as opposed to clumsily displaying ignorance of Japanese societal norms.

For almost 200 Inauguration Day protesters, legal battle is only beginning He was hurt, injured sometime during the fracas in the shadow of office buildings, amid the flurry of pepper spray and fire. The 22-year-old from Chantilly, Va., despises capitalism and views government as an oppressive hierarchy. So, when the officer warned Wright not to step forward — he did.What a genius. He got what he deserved. In a situation like this when a police officer orders you not to do something you don't do it anyway and then whine like a little bitch when you get arrested and charged with incitement to riot.“All of this has just been incredibly infuriating and disempowering and frustrating,” said Lagesse, 30. “You get scared for a second, but then the ridiculousness of why you’re scared is so overwhelming that you get angry.” The old I didn't do nothing your honor defense. I bet she didn't feel frustrated when she was there participating in the riot that saw shops destroyed, cars fire bombed, etc. You know if she didn't actually do any of that why she likely got busted? The crowd was ordered to disburse and she refused to leave. Well then... that makes you complicit whether you participated in the actual destruction or not. So boo hoo, cry me a river. “I don’t stand by these charges. I find them abhorrent. I find them morally disgusting,” she said. “But, I stand by my actions on that day and I also stand by the idea that we should be able to get out there and protest.” Nice deflection. It's not about anyone not having the right to protest. It ceases to be a PEACEFUL protest when people start throwing bricks through store windows, setting cars on fire, attacking police...Despite the charges and video evidence of the destruction, Lagesse and Wright take offense to using the word "violent" to describe the protests. Wright insists it was the only way to be heard. “You won’t hear about something unless there’s some sort of destruction,” he said. “You wouldn’t have heard about Ferguson. … They didn’t cover the peaceful protest until it turned violent.”Seriously? So it's justified when you destroy property and attack people but you don't like it be classified as violent. Not an excuse to avoid punishment for your actions. But you got the word out via the media so mission accomplished right?

It's all about trying to take people who did bad things and don't want to deal with the consequences and paint them out to be victims just being rolled over by an oppressive hierarchy that doesn't care about them while they were just minding their own business practicing their constitutional rights. Uh huh...

Homelessness soars on West Coast as cities struggle to cope So they're just going to ignore the issues causing this? Same old media. Can't admit that the huge influx of illegals into the west coast is one of the driving forces behind this. Throw that in with the mentally ill, drug users, and the ever present I don't want to follow no AUTHORITAY types who want to constantly say "there are no jobs" when what they really mean is "I refuse to alter my lifestyle in any way and won't stoop to working for a living," while at the same time also feel that it is absolutely necessary that they live in these cities. Here I am living in the burbs not having these issues. There is rural America out there with much lower cost of living. Plenty of jobs to be had for those willing to do the work who aren't more concerned with getting high or sticking it to the man. The original Hippies were bad but this Hippy 2.0 version really sucks. People trying to say "yeah but these people don't have any work skills." Okay... even if that is true who's fault is that? And why should the rest of us foot the bill for them because they won't do something to change their situation? You fix these problems by cutting off these people's avenue to continue to get free stuff through freeloading. You force them onto the path of self improvement. If they won't take an offered hand to help lift them up then leave them to their own devices. But the system shouldn't do anything to let them keep perpetuating there situation. Social assistance should come in the form of training and job placement, housing assistance that puts them up in row housing until we can get them on a path to affording their own rent. Don't give anyone money. Never give anyone money to do with as they please.

'A simple war maniac': North Koreans sound off after Trump Oh please. Our president can be loud and obnoxious but I have ZERO reason to believe that North Korea is a unicorn filled rainbow utopia. Or that their crazy dictator in chief isn't trying his damndest to get a missile ready nuke to throw at us or one of our allies. I don't believe for a second that the North Korean government really let the media have unfettered access to people sharing their honest opinions.

I don't even believe NK HAS a nuke and even if they did I don't think Kim has the knuts to lob one anywhere since his destruction would be eminent and complete. He's a fat nerd, drunk on power, more worried with KEEPING that power and therefore APPEARING strong so he doesn't lose his luxurious lifestyle of food, alcohol, and bony pussy.

North Koreans can only say nice things about their government,or they will get put into a prison camp(which pretty much is a death sentence).The North Korean regime used to lie to it's people and told them other countries had things worse than people in NK,but after people in NK found a way to watch South Korean TV programs,and saw how much better South Koreans live,word of mouth spread,so now NK people are taught even though they live in poverty,they are the 'enlightened' ones.
Trump may be loud and arrogant,but he doesn't have you executed or sent to prison camps for talking bad about him or his government.America doesn't have massive amounts of people dying from starvation.Cannibalism is widespread in the rural areas of NK,and foreigners are not allowed to visit the rural areas of NK because malnourishment and poverty there is so bad.The NK system is set up so Pyongyang is for those who have connections to the elites,hence the people in Pyongyang get access to food rations,better living conditions etc.

I guess the Filipinos whom are protesting against Trump making deals with Philippines think the Philippines is so great already,and doesn't need America's business,and they think China won't exploit them?
There was a time when the Philippines was the richest country in Asia,that was when they were a territory of the United States. After the Filipinos gained independence,the constant corruption and mismanagement has turned Philippines into a full-on 3rd world country,and one of the most corrupt and worst countries to live in.
www.bangkokpost.com/news/world/1359251/dump-trump-protest-erupts-ahead-of-philippines-summit'Dump Trump' protest erupts ahead of Philippines summit Activists hold placards with the images of US President Donald J. Trump and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte during a protest near the US embassy in Manila, Philippines, on Sunday. MANILA: Riot police used water cannon to prevent hundreds of protesters reaching the US embassy in Manila on Sunday, just a few hours before the arrival of President Donald Trump in the Philippines for a regional summit and the last leg of his Asia tour. Carrying placards declaring "Dump Trump" and "Down with US Imperialism", the left-wing protesters were blocked by police in riot gear with shields and batons, and then showered with jets of water from a fire engine. "Trump is the CEO of the imperialist government of the US, said 18-year-old student Alexis Danday after the protesters were scattered. "We know he is here to push for unfair treaties between the Philippines and the US." The demonstration followed a protest by Mindanao minorities that turned violent on Saturday. In Hanoi earlier on Sunday, Trump said he was prepared to mediate between claimants to the South China Sea, where four Asean countries and Taiwan contest China's sweeping claims to the busy waterway. "If I can help mediate or arbitrate, please let me know," Trump said at a meeting with Vietnam's president, Tran Dai Quang. "I'm a very good mediator and arbitrator." In August, foreign ministers of Southeast Asia and China adopted a negotiating framework for a code of conduct in the South China Sea, a move they hailed as progress but one seen by critics as a tactic to buy China time to consolidate its power. The framework seeks to advance a 2002 Declaration of Conduct (DoC) of Parties in the South China Sea, which has mostly been ignored by claimant states, particularly China, which has built seven man-made islands in disputed waters, three of them equipped with runways, surface-to-air missiles and radars. The framework will be endorsed by China and the 10 nations of Asean in Manila on Monday, a diplomat from one of the regional bloc's countries said. Protesters are hit by a water cannon as they try to march towards the U.S. embassy during a rally against U.S. President Donald Trump's visit, in Manila, Philippines, on Sunday. The Philippines will be Trump's last stop on a marathon tour that has taken him to Japan, South Korea, China as well as Vietnam. Despite Trump's "America First" policy, the visit should provide some reassurance that Washington remains committed to a region that Beijing sees as its strategic domain. The increasing use of the phrase "Indo-Pacific" by Trump and his team during their Asian tour this week, instead of the more common "Asia-Pacific" term has been seen by analysts as an effort to depict the region as more than China-dominated. Pacific Rim nation leaders agreed in Vietnam on Saturday to address "unfair trade practices" and "market distorting subsidies", a statement that bore the imprint of Trump's efforts to reshape the global trade landscape. The summit of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) countries in Vietnam put on show the contrasting vision of the "America First" policy with the traditional consensus favouring multinational deals that China now seeks to champion. Trump will meet Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in Manila, where he will try to shore up relations strained by the mercurial Duterte's notorious anti-US sentiment and his enthusiasm for better ties with Russia and China. Others who will be in Manila for the summit meetings include Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and leaders from Japan, Canada, South Korea, India, Australia, New Zealand as well as the member states of Asean.

After the Filipinos gained independence,the constant corruption and mismanagement has turned Philippines into a full-on 3rd world country,and one of the most corrupt and worst countries to live in.I could be lambasted as a racist for saying this but doesn't it seem like certain cultures just cannot conform to civilization? Latin America, Africa, some parts of SE Asia, the Middle East... they just can't get a handle on corruption. The West is plenty corrupt itself but at a macro, globalist level. Like Banks, and Bilderbergs, and... well, I hate to say it like this buuuuut Jewish-dominated institutions. But, to be fair, corporations too. But at the State and local level corruption is MUCH more scarce in 1st World (read: US, Canada, Europe, Japan, etc) than it is in "3rd World" countries. Anthropologically speaking I wonder why? What is it about "white" cultures that engenders moral servitude at state and local levels that can't be replicated in places like, say, the Congo or Venezuela? Is it the same thing that made Roman armies so compliant that they were able to conquer the known world and hold it for buttloads of years? Is that what allowed the Spanish, English, and Americans to basically set up Empires as well? Is it because these other cultures don't have a good sense of national unity and therefore people are always looking out for number 1, so to speak, and are easily bought? Just like Ted DiBiase said: "Everybody's got a price" but that price is MUCH lower in some parts of the world. Just wondering.
