Shit just got real...

The entire U.S. Senate has been invited to the White House for a briefing Wednesday on the North Korea situation, amid escalating tensions over the country?s missile tests and bellicose rhetoric. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer confirmed the upcoming briefing, for all 100 senators, on Monday. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats plan to provide the update to lawmakers. It is rare for the entire Senate to be invited to such a briefing. Spicer clarified that while the event will take place on the White House campus, it is technically a Senate briefing and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is the one who convened it.

The briefing, first reported by Reuters, was confirmed after Trump earlier spoke to the leaders of both China and Japan. Trump spoke by phone with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Xi told Trump that China strongly opposed North Korea?s nuclear weapons program and hoped ?all parties will exercise restraint and avoid aggravating the situation,? according to Chinese broadcaster CCTV. Trump hopes China could increase pressure on its isolated ally instead of using military options or trying to overthrow Kim Jong Un?s regime.

launch is in its final stage. South Korea?s Defense Ministry has said the North appears ready to conduct such "strategic provocations" at any time. South Korean Acting Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn has instructed his military to strengthen its "immediate response posture" in case North Korea does something significant on the April 25 anniversary of its military. North Korea often marks significant dates by displaying military capability. On Monday, Trump also had lunch with ambassadors of countries on the U.N. Security Council. Ahead of the meeting, Trump called for ?big reforms? at the U.N. and criticizing its handling of recent events in Syria and North Korea ?but said it has ?tremendous potential.? "You just don't see the United Nations, like, solving conflicts. I think that's going to start happening now," he said.

Very exciting.

Trump is a pussy drama queen.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a nothing sandwich and Trump tries to position it as he saves America from WW3 by negotiating or something.

Isn't this the first step to a declaration of war?

Congress faces a Friday 28, April deadline to pass a bill and avoid a government shutdown

Trump's Day 100, 29 April = The mother of all distractions.

Yes indeed :2 cents:

Although we haven't declared war since 1942

"War declarations have the force of law and are intended to be executed by the President as "commander in chief" of the armed forces. The last time Congress passed joint resolutions saying that a "state of war" existed was on June 5, 1942, when the U.S. declared war on Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania"

keyword here is ---> invited <--- aka a dinner party to start fake drama :2 cents::2 cents: this is what kim k would do if she was pres :Oh crap :helpme :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Trump just flipped the switch. WW3 is inevitable.

April 26th.

Obama Is Expanding Trump’s War-Making Powers on His Way Out the Door

From drone strikes to Navy SEALs, the next president will have more lethal options than ever.
...
The latest reporting suggests that, rather than restraining and limiting Trump, the Obama administration, in its final weeks in office, is further expanding the geographic scope of airstrikes, the nature of combatants who can be targeted, and the legal justification underpinning such strikes. The incoming president-elect, who has previously pledged to “bomb the hell out of ISIS,” will have the capabilities and authorities to do just that — for the Islamic State and other terrorist and militant armies.

Bomb those sons of bitches. :2 cents:

"beautiful Ivanka" will advise LOL

Obama's approach of appeasement while NK grew its military obviously failed. Now Kim knows he has someone in the WH with far superior military strength who will not allow things to continue.

Rather than head down to the Senate (which is suited for large scale secure meetings) this FUCKING money wasting cock sucker Trump is converting one of the giant rooms in the Eisenhower ball room at the White House to be a "SECURE ROOM"

this is HOW FUCKING LAZY this clueless asshole is...

Looking forward to it :thumbsup

Did anyone watch "Last Week Tonight" on HBO? They just had a piece on ivanka and jarrod... she is a lying piece of shit just as much as her father is

her and jarrod are both useless nothings.... jarrod doesn't even speak....ugh

Jarrods father is a convicted felon fit in to the core.Did you see the story about Jarrod meeting a Putin middleman attorney while on the "family" ski trip? Trump likes Jarrod because he's as greedy & corrupt as Trump is :2 cents:

Bladewire AMEN

Right after the election on ABC they asked Ivanka "a lot of people think your going to work in the White House" and she's like
"no I'm just going to be a daughter"

she is a lying whore who proves to women everywhere that if you work hard and go to school you too can get an unpaid assistant job working for your fucking scumbag father

SAME as jarrod... Harvard educated little cunt that runs back to work with daddy

the whole trump family is a bunch of grifters gifted at convincing suckers they are special....

if hitler ever comes to the US is there ANY doubt which party will be ushering him in?

1. Under international law Trump cannot just start shooting.
   
2. If you have a ship attacked in international waters you can shoot back in self-defense.
   
3. If NK attacks SK then you could respond in defense of your ally.

WW3 is not tomorrow (hopefully). This is just the mother of all distractions. The real action is the domestic bills. The changes in the tax law would require the Senate's yes vote -- Trump is trying to rally support for a corporate marginal tax cut that is mostly more bluster.

Maybe, they will be discussing which loopholes to eliminate? (Yeah right). So, if you are part of a small business that is organized as a C corporation or a pass through of a S corporation then this means nothing to you.
