The entire US Senate has been invited to The White House for a briefing Wed re: Korea situation

[ehrnst]

Because one person going to the place where 100 people gather is so much more efficient than a few people going to the Senate.

Perhaps DT wants to make sure that his favorite cake get served?

All 100 senators have been asked to the White House for the briefing by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the aides said.

While top administration officials routinely travel to Capitol Hill to address members of Congress on foreign policy and national security matters, it is unusual for the entire 100-member Senate to go to such an event at the White House, and for those four top officials to be involved.

U.S. officials have expressed mounting concern over North Korea's nuclear and missile tests, and its threats to attack the United States and its Asian allies.

Besides, this way makes for easier recordkeeping.

Little megalomaniac wants to play army man.

Time to see if our republic has any mettle.

4. This is the equivalent of his yanking handshake.

Plus, he doesn't have to keep a record. Because he doesn't want to. Because he's still an asshole.

10. I agree. It's all about domination with him.

This, too.

5. This has me really worried...I hope the Dem senators tell us what this was about afterward

cause I am convinced Trump is going to get millions killed.

6. Don probably has no idea there are 100 senators.

Wonder who will get the chocolate cake and who won't.

7. The insane fuckwad has nukes!

And Kim Jong-un is a bit unstable too. But not nearly as dangerous.

8. Seems like the Senate needs to say

"Thanks , we would love to visit...
but we have so much work to do here on Capitol Hill that we would prefer to have the briefing here.....

What time should we expect you to arrive on Wednesday?"


Clearly, one of many angles 45 is trying to play is that of home court advantage...

The Senate does not work for him...
why let themselves be treated as subordinates....??????

9. And what about McMaster / Dir. National Security??

His name is not listed ....
Seems like he would have insight to offer...
