With half those guys I’d count the silverware after. If they hang tight on tying real immigration reform with doing something or other on DACA, I think we’ll look pretty good this year

[Lurkinanloomin]

Of these people, I only trust Trump and Miller.

[Michael.SF.]

I didn’t see me on the list? /s

[Alberta's Child]

What -- Steve Bannon wasn't invited?

:-P

[catnipman]

only five Congress critters, who’re outnumbered three to one by Trump officials. i like the odds. plus will be easy to track down any leaks ...

For those of you who have never been to one...consider this a Private Sector, Executive Staff 2018-2020 planning meeting.

The Big Guy will be calling the shots and the rest are going to get marching orders.
Failure to follow orders will be an invite to find work elsewhere.

This will NOT be a Bush Family group hug.

[SharpRightTurn]

Mitch McConnell, Ryan, Cornyn, McCarthy, Cohn, Kelly.

A real dream team there. The only one I trust wholeheartedly, aside from Trump, is Miller.

Looks like the annual staff planning meeting. Standard business procedure. The previous year’s financials are all in, the decks are cleared and a new year is at hand.

We always did our annual plan starting in August and massaged it until just before Thanksgiving then the staffers would give up their holidays to run it a few more times, smooth the rough edges and get it ready to launch and for press releases and analyst meetings.

[Jane Long]

Getting down to brass tacks....Midterm planning.

Maybe they can give lyin’ Ryan and Mitch the “turdle” a “blanket party” while there.
