      I had a great conversation with @christineahn about Trump's surprise meeting with Kim Jong Un and Democrats' arrogant dismissal of the Korean peace processhttps://www.patreon.com/posts/trump-goes-to-28110818 …

      Recommend reading Ahn's article on the surprise Trump/Kim meeting. This historical context gets totally omitted from US media coverage, which tends to focus overwhelmingly on shallow Trump psychodrama (what else is new) https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-kim-jong-un-north-korea-dmz-breakthrough-1446848 …pic.twitter.com/Yvp4barvPh

      Here's the YouTube version: note that Ahn says the only Democratic candidates who've been receptive to her offers for dialogue are Tulsi and Bernie (she's also met with Stephen Biegun, Special Representative for North Korea in the Trump Admin)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJsmbazyioI …

      And most of what I did over that time period involved travel/reporting, all of which requires financial resources, especially when you're not backed by a single giant media conglomerate! Some people already gave $$$ after the above tweet, and I really appreciate it!

      I don't view it as demeaning, a scam, or a "grift" to occasionally ask people to voluntarily contribute in exchange for free content that they derive value from. Seems like a pretty reasonable model, actually. And it works: already received several tonighthttps://twitter.com/Dreaddcp/status/1146596176831164416 …

      Begging for money seems like a sh*tty buniess model, that said ads also suck. I get that you don't have viable options, but there should be a less demeaning way for you

          He believes in quite a lot actually. He just doesn't share all YOUR beliefs Also, one of his core beliefs is JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY, which means being INTELLECTUALLY HONEST in one's reporting, even if it doesn't fit a desired narrative...I know, sounds rather quaint these days!

          As an audience we want you to produce content. To produce content you need funds. If you were an employee your boss would take care of raising money, but you're independent (which we like), so ***raising funds is an essential part of your job***. It's what we *want* you to do.

          I sometimes criticize you or your guests but I try not to be mean. I am dismayed with some of the vitriol U get on twitter. Ignore the hate. Twitter is not the real world. If U are pissing people off then U may be onto something real. Especially since U don't try to anger people
