Quite a stunt. Didn’t they know they were being used?
“There was very little, if anything new,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)
told the Washington Post. “I remain mystified about why the entire
Senate had to be taken over to the White House rather than conducting it
here.”
So the King could make his Senate come to him at the Whitehouse.
So PeePee didn’t bother to show up, he just wanted the congress, the media and his base to know that when he says “jump”, these senators ask “how high?”
And how much did it cost the US taxpayer to securely transport the entire senate to 1600? And how much to create a temp secure room for this briefing? Again, he just wants to prove that he can demand whatever he wants and demand that we pay for it.
PLEASE put him out of our misery!
I thought the WH paid for a very expensive SCIF in the Eisenhower Bldg. to provide for secrecy in this meeting, even though the Senate already had one to accommodate 100 Senators. I don’t get it. So what was so damn different that they had to do this dramatic move in order to meet and become briefed on N. Korea?. How is it these Senators don’t know if what they received was classified or not? I don’t get that either. What kind of shit is Mitch McTurtle and King Kaos trying to pull anyway? This is right up there with their one page, double-spaced tax plan if you ask me. Pure poppycock. This is no way to run a government, people.
It’s like all of his other plans.
He’s going to do something. Eventually, at a later date, in some form.
As long as nobody came out with that Feinstein/Comey-briefing look, so much the better.
Sounds more like Trump pantsed the Senators:
When Trump says “Jump!”, they know what to do. Pointless, yes, but he’s the King and needs his audience.
FIFY
Clarify?
A USS Carl Vinson kitchen's worth of Trumps couldn't clarify butter.
I wonder if they at least served cake at this Potemkin pow-wow?Perhaps the Senators (especially D’s) should do a sweep of their offices. You never know what might have happened when they were all absent from the building…just saying…
“You may have wondered exactly why I’ve gathered you all together here today. Instead of at a later time, as soon as possible in some form. Well, it was so that I could gather you all together. Enjoy.”
Remember when you were 4 or 5 and at the after-school daycare and you “played house” with the big plastic kitchen set and tool bench, etc., made for kids? Yeah…Trump is “playing White House.”
Damn…they’re so much better now than when I was little…even a “liberal indoctrination” recycling bin!!!
It’s the literal truth. He’s playing, like a child. It might get thousands or millions of people killed, it might do worse, or it might merely destroy the prestige of a once-great nation. But it will never be serious—not in his mind.
So, it was a “dog and pony” show with no dog and no pony??
But plenty of pony shit.
I have, on occasion, entering a crowded elevator, turned to face the people and said “Thank you for coming. I’m sure you’re wondering why I asked you here.”
If we give HO a boatload of money, do you think we could limit his future activities to this?
Actually, it was more substantive than that, it was horse shit.
And soon those same Senators will be thrown under the buses they rode in on, when Donnie triggers WWIII in the next few days, and claims that the Senate was fully briefed and on-board with his “clarified” North Korea policy…
Dem senator says Trump briefly showed at NoKo briefing, did his “ridiculous adjective” bit.
“about 80 sets of invisible eyes rolling”
Antivert® is still being passed out among the Senators.
