I had the TV on all day and seemingly the reason the Senate had to go to the White House for a, as Sen. Corker (R), said was a "OK" briefing on what they had to be bused back-and-forth to the meet at a "jerry-rigged" for secrecy room, as Sen. Booker described on the RMS tonight is a bit of a mystery.
The answer is easy for me: Trump was telling the Senate who is boss, and it was not them.

Another publicity stunt by the clown-in-chief.

and the Senate submissively groveled all the way over there to smother it in kisses of fealty.
So fucking embarrassing and lame.
Great post!

As long as they get the entire Trump family, the rest are collateral damage.

Embarrassing.

(1,907 posts)He called them all there because he just found out NK had missiles and were working on nuclear weapon development. He missed that on news on faux and thought they were just as stupid.
It was rumored dipshit donnie had a opening statement during the meeting.
"Who knew NK had missiles and developing nuclear weapons. BTW you know my uncle was a very smart man. He was a nuclear scientist. He told me nuclear was going to be big one day.Our family has good genes and I have a good brain. My uncle said nuclear was going to be big one day.. My crowd was bigger at the inauguration then Obama's. I have had the best first year then any other president ever. My uncle was a nuclear scientist with good genes. "

His office only has as much power as we give it and I say we stop acknowledging the power of the office right now. He has degraded it to the point where it is nothing more than an honorary title at best. He has no real power if everyone ignores him.
