As requested

A great big wave from my tiny hand.

Two waves, even

Or three. WTF?

The Hill @thehill 5min

Chinese president phones Trump to ask him to avoid aggravating tensions with North Korea: hill.cm/ZyjmMZf

Can you imagine that phone call?? Please, Mr Trump, it is best to use caution in these matters don't be a dick

Four actually, Across!

From the last thread.

OMG that's why he bought Mar-a-lago!!!

Lots of waves Across because we need lots as the hands are so tiny

So Trump has summonsed the whole of the Senate to the WH on Wednesday to brief them on NK. This is very rare and some are saying this is just him showing off and trying to act all presidential like in the lead up to his 100 days.

Can you imagine the twaddle he'll be spouting and what many will be thinking as he addresses them. He can barely distinguish between NK and SKorea and has no idea of the history. China is urging restraint.

Conveniently removed after an outcry...

Early morning place mark. Thanks to all who selflessly trawl for nuggets of Trump gold so the rest of us don't have to. We are grateful.

A great big wave from my tiny hand.

This thread has the best placemarks yet (honestly, not Trump parody style), but this one ^ really tickled me.

Thanks to all who selflessly trawl for nuggets of Trump gold so the rest of us don't have to. We are grateful.

This too ^ My heartfelt thanks.

There are some people willing to put country before party. It's quite a heartening story to wake up to!

One of the things to keep a close eye on is our executive branch. As we hit the 100-day mark, only 4% of key roles have been filled.

Is Sally Yates testifying today?

Painintheear- the administration sowing fake stories - that's a very clever strategy, much loved by the Russians.

www.foxnews.com/world/2017/04/25/north-korea-reportedly-conducts-massive-live-fire-drill-amid-tensions.html

Unconfirmed reports that Kim Jong-un oversaw massive artillery drills today. Also in the article, Trump is quoted talking about the UN Security Council. Not sure he has a full understanding of its purpose. I don't believe it is a war council?

A quote: "On Monday, Trump also had lunch with ambassadors of countries on the U.N. Security Council. Ahead of the meeting, Trump called for “big reforms” at the U.N. and criticizing its handling of recent events in Syria and North Korea – but said it has “tremendous potential.”

"You just don't see the United Nations, like, solving conflicts. I think that's going to start happening now," he said.

Pain - the seeding fake stories The White House should be beyond reproach!

Morning
to warm everyone up on this chilly morning

Many thanks for keeping this going

getting scarier by the minute

so what would actually happen if Senate calls his bluff and refuses to play ball with the dollar for dollar bigly wall v healthcare game?

I guess govt shutdown would not be good but then what would voters think of billions channeled to that (fake) wall that could be used for US citizens essential services?

citizens' - I really do have better grammar than Trump

morning!

Sorry cozie, missed your post. He's doing fine, gaining weight nicely and starting to develop a bit of a sleeping pattern though he's shredding my nipples
