      I always like what you have to say, but of course "pot" was going to be involved somehow.

      Trump is guaranteed reelection if he federally legalizes pot before the next election. Will he do it? Probably not. But we all can dream...

        Hey, it's not my fault that Kim Jong's BFF is hocking cryptoweed.

        I'd love it, just to see the rationalization of the other side when they oppose it.

    "News for Nerds" - er, that is the other site. Look at the top of this page, it says "SoylentNews is People".

    Nothing is happening!

    About a hour or so ago at the time of my reply, Trump and Un signed a 'document'. Nothing has been revealed about the content of that document yet, but it will be in a few hours time. Things are happening, you are just unaware of the world about you.

    Why is this on the front page?

    Because, whatever you might think of the politics behind this meeting, this is a very unusual event. We do cover such stories from time to time. We also give you permission to skip any stories that you don't like and wait for the next one to come along. Even better, get off your butt and submit something!

      I lost all respect for NPR when they cracked and started covering OJ Simpson. SoylentNews seems to have reached the same level of feckless complicity.
