    I know all about Rodman but I think you're conflating too many things and frankly unrelated things. Rodman like any other normal person has emotions and feelings and because of his past deals with them a certain way. Yes he was and is tormented but in large part to the continued criticism, mocking, hating, bullying, etc... that he is constantly receiving. That was my main point I wanted to raise. But I'm sure he'll be made fun of and mocked for emotionally "cracking" for a brief moment on television. Generally it's what humans do to each other, they're savages. Like a pack of animals that weeds out the "weak" to create and preserve stronger generations.

    It's an outburst of suppressed emotion. That's what I saw.

    I don't know what to think of it because...

    1- He is going to be made fun of. I can't think it's helpful to him in a world that he already view as very cruel.
    2- I'm conflicted that CNN or anyone would put him in that situation, but then it's his choice.
    3- He shouldn't be part of this at all.
    4- But he is because.. it's great entertainment and money grabbing opportunity. Opportunist.
    5- That outburst in a very public way... maybe, just maybe it's the medicine that is helpful to him... who knows.

    I’m glad it was Rodman instead of Draymond Green

    So...let me get this straight. It is ok to talk to NK, but Iran? Iran agreed to nuclear inspections, destruction if centerfuses and not to enrich uranium. But somehow that deal was bad? NK has developed Nukes and long range missles before agreeing to talk. And yet this is ok? Republicans/Trumpers are so transparent they are glass.

    They called Obama naive for even wanting to the US enemies. However, it ok for an unprepared Nutless Trump to meet Jung Un? lol

    Kudos to trump and his meeting with Kim. If, and that's still a pretty big if, NK does act on an existing commitment "to work towards a plan to denuclearize the peninsula" then it was a very successful meeting. In addition, getting the remains of past found and sent back would also be a success.

    The key of course, is NK fulfilling its commitment and to better understand what trump gave up in return (what the "security guarantees" were and also what other things trump agreed to, eg financial).

    Expectation set low. Maybe he does already understand that the US puliing out of Korea is the ask from NK and he knows that’s not going to happen.

    P.s. yeap, trump is always this way. Finding an excuse if he was wrong.

    NK is going to de-nuke and Mexico is going to pay for it.

    Interestingly similar responses from both ends of the political spectrum:

    The lack of specifics and what's new is starting to create doubts...

    I know it’s hard to accept whats happening. When you’re so dedicated to the destruction of a president and he just keeps winning.

    Unfortunately, human rights abuses were not a discussion point. Hopefully in subsequent discussions... but until then:
