This effort to ram #Gorsuch through not only doesn't fit the tradition of the Senate, doesn't fit the circumstances, but raises a question:

Is there an effort to ram @realDonaldTrump's #SCOTUS nominee through before information comes to the surface that might change the outcome?

So.... it appears while he will be meeting with Trump at Maralago, he will not be staying there.

Well, given that Trump has more or less admitted hecsecretly records guests in his hotels, staying elsewhere seems a smart move by the Chinese.

goose1964 · 05/04/2017 12:50

A. Bit late but can I suggest people travelling to the US change their social media passwords to fuck off Trump or similar, just in case

GingerIvy · 05/04/2017 13:03

They also admitted in an interview that the guests at Maralago don't go through any screening to get in - huge security issue!!! Although apparently they have to take some precautions due to some specific issues re China.

GingerIvy · 05/04/2017 13:04

They are losing billions of dollars in tourism. We will not be going to the US. I know many others who have changed their plans.

Lweji · 05/04/2017 13:09

If Xi was going to stay at Mar-a-lago, would he pay for the stay? Because, supposedly, Trump shouldn't receive anything from foreign governments.

And it would be like staying at the White House. A bit weird. I'm sure Mr Xi likes his own space.

Bugger, hadn't read the Finnish news the last couple of days as been really busy and now see I completely missed the Chinese visit and protests. Wouldn't have been able to go anyway because I just started a new job but it is really hard to find out any information about protests in Finland, reckon they just come up with the idea on the spot and people just get lured in by the crowd, probably hoping there's a free bucket there somewhere...

But it does seem that China is trying to make a statement now, their President wrote an op-ed in the Helsinkitimes that hints that China is considering leaving the US out and focussing on EU relations instead. And he gave the Finnish President rollerblades as a present, wonder what he'll give Trump - a new wig? New wife?
