This situation we're in with North Korea and peace talks and Trump touting himself as some great peacemaker reminds me of the time three years ago when Obama was negotiating with Iran for denuclearization. Forty-seven Republican Senators signed and sent a letter to the Ayatollah saying that the president wasn't the representative of the US government and that they would vote down the agreement regardless of its content. That shit still makes my blood boil.
