Ernst Rohm thought it was a mere meeting, too. Then came the Night of The Long Knives.
Sounds like he’s set up a meeting with the Brain Trust Bankers.
We can be certain of only one thing:
This meeting will smell bad. Can you imagine being in that room? I’d throw up, I really would. That is one room in which I would not like to be a fly on the wall. On the other hand, if I were a fly, I’d look at things differently (and through many eyes) and consider that their old bodies will soon be dead and offer an ideal place for my maggots to grow.
Promises will be made. Money will be exchanged. A few heads will be knocked (if even necessary, as these are Republicans we’re talking about) to obtain complicity if not lock-step marching. These are demons and they’ll be meeting with an orange Leviathan … one who seems to have caught his little pee-pee in his pants zipper (again), in the pic accompanying this article. Leviathans will eat their own if they find it necessary, and I suspect That Orange One will bring along one of his soldiers for a demonstration.
Anyone else finding it hilarious that Marshall is trying to spin Paul Ryan doing his best to weasel out of running Cleveland as a show of strength?
Expect nothing and you will not be disappointed. But this will be treated as a major summit of great importance by an MSM “news” commentariat that would make a chain-smoking CPOD patient seem like a marathon runner with a bottle of pure O2 strapped to their back.
Yep. And having written a few news stories myself, I could open a fifth of bourbon and write up the congressdudes’ statements afterward, Trump’s blatherings, and three different news stories before I got a third of the way down the bottle. A.) blah blah productive meeting move the country forward Hillary third Obama term blah blah… B.) Very nice to me very nice a great honor blah blah shame my detractors are all poopyheads C.) Official Washington began to come to terms today with an outcome few foresaw last June when D. T. announced in a widely derided Trump Tower blah blah…
Aaaaand done.
There are GOP leaders in the Senate? McConnell must be practicing all week to bow and scrape before his Master
Just type up an account that it was Huge…and a bad time was had by all except Trump.
Will Roy Blunt get all bent out of shape when reporters ask him about Trump after the meeting?
It’s the easy way out. Standing before the American people at that podium looking ashamed of himself would be far more statesman like.
“I wasn’t really paying attention. Mitch is always putting us to sleep. I guess Trump breezed by on the way to the bathroom to check on transgenders and Larry Craig.”
You won’t have to wonder what the fly on the wall would experience. I expect tRump to live-tweet the meeting. I also expect him to come out of the meeting and said everyone was on the same page as him, even if they’re not.
I’ve read several descriptions of what it’s like to be in the same room with him and none of them claimed it was an enjoyable thing. There will be hugeness involved, though. And a pile. And steaming. Lots of beautiful, classy steaming.
Another recent trump blathering has seen the light of day. He has said the new mayor of the City of London who is a Muslim may be the exception to his ban on letting Muslims in to the country, and he said it in the very way we’ve come to expect, channeling his 10-year old uneducated self.
“I was happy to see that,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Khan’s election. “I think it’s a very good thing, and I hope he does a very good job because frankly that would be very, very good.”
@antisachetdethe They’d be better off following the works of Julius Marx, better known as Groucho who spoke early on about donald…
He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don’t let that fool you. He really is an idiot
One possible agenda for the Senate meeting with Trump:
Paulie has serious policy differences with donald, that’s for certain, and he wants to protect the R majority in the House as well as his own political future, which could possibly include a run for president. He’s giving permission to other Rs to take the same no-position position. Or as they’d say in Brooklyn “Knock yourself out, donnie.”
Well, scoff at this Penn grad if you want, but you can hardly argue with him when he opines that very good things are very good. It’s the law of identity, man! One of the three classical laws of thought!
That presumes any of the current lot in the Senate have ever read the classics. The only Julius this lot knows is Orange Julius.
