When working for a freshman Congressman in the late ‘70’s, he was invited to the White House for a meeting. He carpooled with at least one other Congressman in his little Honda - believe it was a Civic. Kind of funny as others were showing up in, let’s just say, much nicer vehicles.

I trust your well-tested judgment. Do you mean that it suggests armed conflict, or something else?

This is a mistake unless the President will have these scumbags briefed after the fact... I can’t even imagine how quickly these POS “senators” will be leaking details to their evil, vile counterparts in the enemedia.

My guess is the FatBoy is ready to fire up the nuke testing again.
He’s making China look bad.

This is all very interesting since he just met with the UN ‘Security Council “ members today.....then the Senators Wed....in light of the fact our Nuclear Sub is arriving in Korea Waters today or tomorrow when Kim celebrates the founding of the country.......

Fat Boy is doing far more than looking over his shoulder....!

I’m afraid military action. You don’t need 100 senators to say, “We’re gonna bluster.”

Thank you for that info. Interesting to have all of them on the same buses. It would be a hoot to be able to hear what they are talking about on the way and way back.

How will they all fit in the Oval Office?

The President consults with some friends in certain food industries...

I disagree. This is so unprecedented it would basically be telegraphing a very serious and yooge decision, which is something Trump has sworn he isn't strategically stupid enough to do. This looks to me like brinksmanship. The bluff of war.

Nah...China’s the one who stopped it just recently....Their top nuclear guys were sent to N.Korea the Fri, before...and none of the usual Chinese Military officials were seen on the balcony with the Celebration they always attend.

China’s doing this..Trumps simply positioned them to save face.....Russia’s on the other border to support China....

Anyone who thinks this is just the US and S.Korea acting against Kim’s Regime isn’t watching. The only one who loose face is Fat Boy and his cronies.
