Sounds like we're going to war with NK? GWB part II!

 

[DaveSimmons]

Nah, it's nukin' time!

Trump did ask in his briefings why we haven't been using our nukes since WW2, so it's on his to-do list.

Probably down to the Bunker.

it should also be noted that the briefing is on Wednesday.

Wwwwwwwwwwwelp. Nice knowing (most of) y'all.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Well. This fills me with all kinds of fuzzy warm feelings.....

35% of the meeting will be Trump talking about the election.
16% of the meeting will be Trump name dropping people and how they really love Trump and do good things and such.
14% of the Meeting will be Pence doing that weird look he does while throwing out canned catch phrases ready for consumption by FoxNews viewers. This will be the introduction of the new "Axis of Evil". If the Senators agree its intimidating sounding then they will drop it in Trumps next speech...which he will pronouncekinda weird.
5% Wall talk
20% will be various things that are a "Disaster caused by the Obama administration" (Korean war, Canadian geese, Ratings of the Big Bang Theory)
5% will be Mattis saying we need to do something about Korea before North Korea takes over the United States. He will then hand out VHS copies of Red Dawn.
5% will be Senators filling out forms so that they can have Mar-o-largo VIP IDs made so that Trump can have future sessions there.

good job "conservatives" You elected a retard.

China just informed trump he needs to get clearance from the un security council. They probably didnt know if trump knew there was one.

 

[MixMasterTang]

My guess is he is going to anchor some warships near North Korean water space (but still within International waters), get N. Korea to attack us and them attack back.

What's the reasoning here? The Cheeto in chief is too lazy to go to the Senate?

It would seem more logical for him to go to them, but this is Trump. It's probably an ego thing.... or because there's a Bunker under the White House....

I seriously doubt that our friends & allies in the ROK want a war so that the Donald can buff up his cred here at home among the deplorables.

The consequences of US aggression against the DPRK are completely incalculable but Donald doesn't seem to care.

That, and if Trump actually addressed the Senate in its chamber, it'd be on C-Span, and we can't have that happen.

Japan has been signaling pro-US messages. Donnie has a rare opening because SK is leaderless.

Lame distraction from epic fail 100 day anniversary.

Who ever wins the election on May 9 will be inaugurated May 10, still plenty of time for Trump to set them up for a beating.

Friends! Allies! Stand right here while we punch this guy over your shoulder!

 

[Grooveriding]

If the moron attacks NK he could end up causing the deaths of millions in nearby nations after NK reacts by launching their nukes. Looks like the imbecile may be entering his final form of being the cause of nuclear war earlier than expected.

 

[JSt0rm]

even without nukes they will fire hundreds of missiles at japan and bombard sk with artillery.

Have you seen the women in these places? Please dont let trump kill these women.

 

[senseamp]

I can understand on the job training, but we are going through on the job growing up for a 70 year old man-child who is playing with the lives of millions of people.

Just as long as nobody says democracy isn't broken or that we don't want to do anything too radicak to fix it because, well things can always be worse, right? Too bad we didn't have Sanders on the ballot.

Not the "Bernie woulda won!" bullshit. You can't know that. Trump & the Russians might have beaten him like a rented mule for all we know.

 

[Jaskalas]

Of course it was the Russians and not a failed mediocre lump of coal.

The msg wasn't "But Bernie", a man is not as important as the ideas behind the man. To dream big and win big by inspiring others to believe in you, and to follow you into a better future. Clinton was already beaten by that in 2008. Trump did some of that with MAGA, and that appeal for a better economic America was undervalued and ignored. The appeal Obama had was altogether dropped from the DNC.

Instead of a bold, fresh face of charisma to change a nation... it was the encrusted old guard telling us to check our expectations. To settle for what we can do instead of what we should do. That is not leadership, it does not whip up and stir votes in hearts filled with dreams.

What you call filling hearts with dreams I call reminding people that if they want to have any dreams that first have to take their democracy back. Get it back and then we can determine what dreams are possible. We don't want everybody shitting in their pants about what progressives might do. They might raise up a socialist army and we'll all be working for free. You must remember that that terrible conservative brainwashing that has gone on and on for years and years has infected liberals too. Better save than sorry, especially since it's only hope that's at stake.

 

[Jaskalas]

So, WTF would Trump want the ENTIRE Senate at the White House to talk North Korea?
That sounds like the level of "behind closed doors" BS that happens when asking for war authorization.
He certainly didn't do this for striking Syria with missiles. !@#$, is he going to ask to nuke them first?

I can just imagine the panic on their faces... with a resounding rejection.

 

[UberNeuman]

Boy, that Hillary turned out to be a real war-monger....
