All 100 senators have been asked to the White House for the briefing by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the aides said.

LOL. Good plan but not something you do with them all in the same room, like when Tyrion Lannister said three different things to three potential conspirators to see which one would come back to him. The problem is that plausible deniability isn’t a problem in King’s Landing, while you need more proof of a leak than tracking a claim of false leaks.
You knew it was coming...
Who said they were going to the Oval Office?
I wonder if the NK people know they’re about to be freed.
There is no navigable tunnel between the Capitol and the WH.
Interning. Possible
Mentioned the chocolate cake being served earlier because the 59 Tomahawks were being launched while the chocolate cake was being served.
Sort of :
As you were entering the WH -— NK no longer exists
Something is up in NK. They announced they planned 4/25 as a test date and its 4/25 over there now. I have been watching the ship traffic in the region and last night and in the days before the east and west coasts of NK had normal off shore ship traffic and now everyone seems to have pulled back giving NK a pretty good berth except for a couple of Russian “trawlers” that seem to be in the area off the east coast of NK. Looks interesting.
Anything the house also would have to be told ? Why just the senate ?

I wouldn’t trust those dopes in the House to pee without someone holding it for them (and that includes the ones who self-identify as women).
If Americans are advised to leave Seoul then that would be of note
This very clever !
He briefs them not only do they now (by appearance!) “own the policy” he now has them by the security “short hairs”.
If there is a leak he will know exactly where it came from!
Plus it gives him leverage later for other things if he needs to “steamroll” Congress. (Particularly if someone leaks! And they will, the temptation will be too great!)
You say “Huh its just the Senate!”. However mentally the average voter won’t make the distinction! It will have the “appearance” of the whole Congress!
Why not trigger their own devices to explode in place?
We all make fun of the little martinet, but it’s sobering to remember that while he may be a ridiculous sight, with short man syndrome and a giant chip on his padded shoulder, he’s also a psychopath, who, if he can ever figure out how to get it to work, has a nuclear bomb, that he’d just love to lob at us.
Whatever he has to say he might as well just say it on TV. Telling 100 senators anything isn’t exactly going to keep it a secret or anything... all we’ll get is 100 completely different stories as to what was said.
I love hearing FReepers describe their run-ins with ‘Russian trawlers’. They’re always funny.
No senate staff are invited...
I sense a operation to expose the leakers...
Within 30 seconds of the meeting endings, the anti Trumpers will be spilling their guts...
I believe it is necessary to use tactical nukes to root out the NORK nuke program.
And I believe that is what Trump will tell them, and that’s all he will tell them.
Sen. & Mrs. McCain and Sen. Graham
~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought Sen. Graham was Mrs. McCain
This will be more like a hootenanny.
“The only way to stop them is with a preemptive nuke strike.”
True. If KJI were a sane person it would be a different story, but he’s bat-sh!t crazy and we can’t take chances with a maniac. The world could use another parking lot, and I don’t see collateral damage as a problem. Those people are so brainwashed against the U.S., taking great measures to save them would be a waste of time.
Oh I think they’re aware of the tension.very much.....unfortunately they’ve been brainwashed since childhood, and throughout all their schools, that the US is their enemy....it’s plastered propaganda throughout the city and country.
Thus China may indeed move in and take oontrol or appoint those who will get off this Nuclear kick.
