So Kim played Trump for a fool to get a bunch of good will, easing of sanctions from Russia/China/SK, and a free hotel stay at the most expensive hotel in Singapore?

SCOTUS just came down and upheld Ohio's removal of voting registration for people who didn't vote. This is blatant contradiction of the NVRA passed in 1993. SCOTUS just made it markedly easier for states to disenfranchise voters.

This and the verdict in the cakeshop case are enough reason to indict several of the judges on the supreme court.

It's not going to happen, though. We're stuck with POS SCOTUS for the forseeable future.

Edit: and here comes Sessions with a folding chair!

The LA Times posted:

“Generally, claims by aliens pertaining to domestic violence or gang violence perpetrated by non-governmental actors will not qualify for asylum,” Sessions wrote in his ruling. “The mere fact that a country may have problems effectively policing certain crimes—such as domestic violence or gang violence—or that certain populations are more likely to be victims of crime, cannot itself establish an asylum claim.”

Sessions has made clear for years that he believes most asylum claims are invalid or straight-up fraudulent, and the administration is pushing for legal changes by Congress that would allow the government to turn away or quickly deport more people who claim they fear returning to their native countries. Sessions noted during his speech Monday that most asylum applicants are already deemed ineligible by the courts.

Ech, I'd hope not.

Like, yeah, a large chunk of the asylum stuff that I touch does seem frivolous, but that's partially because it's a hail-mary for some after other attempts to adjust their status. But the solution to that problem is not to gently caress over the actual folks seeking it.

The problem is that North Korea has no reason to give up its nukes. Threat of US invasion exists, but the chance of that happening is correspondingly less the more nukes they have. If they are happy enough with their current deterrent and miniaturization, there is no reason to continue nuclear testing. If their theoretical reach includes the Continental US, there is no reason to continue testing ICBM's. The only way this works out as a deal between the two countries is a halt on both of those things, which may have reached a point where it doesn't matter much to the North Koreans. This is a good thing. They are a nuclear power. Wishing they weren't is childish at this point.

South Africa denuclearizing is very much a fluke of location and lack of threats, not likely to be repeated. Ukraine and Kazahkstan denuclearized during Russia's weakest moment, a huge mistake for Ukraine at least. It really is a wonder of what the possible goals could be for a summit like this.
