Intrinsically safe.

Most cell phones do not meet the standard.
Best to scan them for electronic devices before entering.

I got a better use for McCain: if we bomb North Korea, he can ride one of the bombs down waving a hat, like Slim Pickens.

That brainwashing eases up when voluptuous food aid with all the liberators’ flags on it shows up for free.

The only way to stop them is with a preemptive nuke strike.

Can you imagine the press, the liberal left, how literally half our country would react if Donald Trump initiated a pre-emptive nuclear strike on anyone????

Thus China may indeed move in and take oontrol or appoint those who will get off this Nuclear kick.

Seriously... that would really be the best thing.

I got over my anxiety last night. This coalition is really pretty amazing, and I hope Iran’s next. Like next Sunday next.

Doubt that. That would be telegraphing actions, which Trump explicitly hates.

As well, supposedly the briefing is a Senate Briefing, called by the Turtle that will be conducted at the WH.

This is yet another signal to Kim Jung Un, that his time is up.

If he wants to live, he’ll pack his stuff and run, now.

“Massive leaks ensue.”

And it wouldn’t surprise me if this meeting was designed to get someone to leak.

In the back of my mind is the top secret secret security meeting in New Zealand Five EYE meeting. Is it a coincidence they are meeting. Pence is traveling the area and .... We really don’t know what else is going on....

I believe they’re lining everything up that’s needed IF, IF I say they have to...could play out either way based on what NK does...

we’re going to have to deal with them at some point or let them get long-range nuke capability...which means, we’re going to have to deal with them at some point right?

I’d rather it be sooner rather than later to wipe their capability completely out...

I said this on a thread a few days ago that if we hit them, it will be very, very hard...sobering to think about

Just as Trump was sending Tomahawks into Syria while he was dining with China’s president, I think China will be preemptively striking Little Kim while Trump is briefing the Senate. NK is in their backyard if nobody has noticed. The world is full of problems, and Trump is stepping up to address them. Kicking the can down the road is not Trump’s favorite game.

No, It is good. Trump is bringing the Senators up to date on the situation from a political and military perspective.

He like his "listening sessions" as he has done many times in the past; and will most likely ask for opinions and attempt to get a consensus to initiate a pre-emotive strike if the NORKS light off another missile.

This is a brilliant move. No one can say Trump was acting unilaterally and without the advice and consent of Congress.

Trump, Tillerson, Mattis and Bannon are no dummies when it comes to strategy. They are not linear thinkers. With just the announcement of this meeting, Russia, China, Japan, and NK have to be wondering what's going down.

Art of the Deal and Trump is going to put this decades long threat to bed once and for all.

Yup. The good news is, no one knows if he's bluffing, and if so, what the consequences will be. 😁

Obviously, the Administration wants something to leak. No way they are going to keep anything secret once that briefing is done. Sounds like Trump is sending a message to NK, China, Russia, and Japan.
