Chaos? What chaos?:

'So Sanders said no WH official to attend briefing. (Kelly listed as attendee.) She didn’t mention Rosenstein attending. (He will be.) Raj Shah said Gang of 8 after recess; now says it will happen tomorrow. And DOJ said Gang of 8 & Gowdy will attend, but not all are confirmed yet ....'

'And ... after announcing plans to hold Gang of Eight briefing at DOJ this afternoon, the plan is now to hold it on Capitol Hill.'

Summit cancelled. Told ya so!

Although we all could have predicted it, couldn't we?

ohmymimi · 24/05/2018 16:12

South Korea's presidential Blue House seems blind-sided by Trump's cancelation of the summit: "We are attempting to make sense of what, precisely, President Trump means," says spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom.

(Good luck with that Mr. Kim, but if you do crack the trumpcode please share.)

Oh God, I simply can't resist. What he wrote vs what he was really thinking.

"You talk about your nuclear capabilities penis but ours are mine is so massive and powerful that I pray to God they it never have has to be used."

As far as that last, I'm sure Melania devoutly prays for that too.

The NoKo no go is just a clever bargaining ploy Hmm
'I don’t read the cancellation of the NK summit as the end of talks. It’s really part of the ongoing talks. It’s about maneuvering, lack of predictability and leverage. Considering how often NK has played us in the past, I welcome this development.'

'South Korea's president has just called an emergency meeting at the Blue House, summoning his chief of staff, national security adviser, foreign minister, unification minister and intelligence chief. It's midnight in Seoul.'

They're all whistling in the dark, I fear. He blinked. Grin

cozietoesie · 24/05/2018 16:56

I always felt that it being called the 'Blue House' was most unfortunate. Wink

cozietoesie · 24/05/2018 17:00

They're disputing his pleading of the 5th?

ohmymimi · 24/05/2018 17:00

Maybe KJU will be sent one of those lovely double chin-off commemorative coins as a memento of what might have been.

'POTUS tells Kilmeade re NFL rule against players kneeling during the anthem to protest police brutality: “You have to stand proudly for the national anthem or you shouldn’t be playing. You shouldn’t be there. Maybe you shouldn’t be in the country.”'

AcrossthePond55 · 24/05/2018 17:16

The NFL new rule is interesting to me. Freedom of Speech/Expression vs the right of an employer to determine working conditions within the laws governing said determinations.

They can't force them to say the Pledge of Allegiance (certain religions forbid it) yet they can force them to stand for the Anthem. Both refusals are decisions based on one's moral conscience. Seems to me another slippery slope along the road to totalitarianism. I hope someone (ACLU?) challenges it.

Replying to @maggieNYT
'He literally had a US ally committed to spending ALL his political capital on this meeting taking place, then didn’t even tell him he was going to cancel this meeting a day after having him in DC. Typical Trump, using and discarding people at will'

"Maybe you shouldn’t be in the country"

So now he's saying that US Citizens should be booted out of the Country? How much longer until it's "anyone who disagrees with me"? I think the slippery slope is rapidly becoming a mudslide.

Just out of curiosity....would there be such a kerfuffle if players didn't stand for God Save the Queen? Is it even played at your sporting events.

Intersting note: All this Pledge and Anthem shit in schools and at sports events started during the McCarthy era as a way to 'prove' who was 'loyal' to the US. Sound familiar?

BoreOfWhabylon · 24/05/2018 17:48

Great thread title mimi. The best. Bigly thumbs up with my tiny little thumbs to 'Treasonweasels'.

I too have many, many thread titles but they are so massive and powerful that I pray to god that they will never be used

lionheart · 24/05/2018 17:49

The Anthem/Pledge/Flag routines seem strange to me anyway.

'God Save the Queen' is played at sporting events but most of the time the players just look sheepish and mime the words (or an approximation of them). It is a dirge though. Smile

I suspect there might be more enthusiasm from the Welsh when it comes to 'Land of My Fathers.' I think there is no official anthem for Scotland but a number of songs that do the trick.

Save at least one for the final apocalyptic thread.
