What their drive to make that decision is not under consideration.
but what is the excuse now?
Of course it is made up.
My phrase has very little difference in meaning that correct phrase.

Now, before they blame NK and not Trump, they should remember that every single person who knew anything about NK told him that they would do this, yet he organised the meeting, spoke in glowing terms about KJU, cancelled military exercises with South Korea (a suggestion made by Putin) and even hung a f'n picture on the inside of the White House! He got 3 hostages back and an empty promise.
Leroy42 wrote: » All probably true but that is not the narrative that either Trump or his supporters were pushing. This was sold as possibly one of the greatest achievements ever, Trump himself came out soon after the meeting claiming that people could sleep soundly as the nuclear threat had been dealt with. As usual, it really comes back to Trumps need to lie and exaggerate everything. Rather than simply accept it for what it was, a first (and welcome) step it what would be a long and difficult process, Trump basically claimed that it was done and dusted. He even, very recently, claimed that soldiers remains had been returned to the US. Pompeo later confirmed that there had been no movement on that, not one set of remains had been returned. It is certainly something they are working on and may well get a result, which again is welcomed, but Trump needs instant gratification and needs everything he does to be the greatest ever so he lies about what was actually achieved. This then leads to the inevitable disappointment and then row back from the WH about what he actually meant. And then we get people claiming that what did people really expect or this version, who else would do better. But Trump himself claimed not only that he could but that he had done better. So it is his own standards that we are judging him.

This is a common trait in the modern Left, the Stark class divide between it and those who vote for it. The really ****ty attitude is killing the Left. Personally I think it is already game, over running on fumes now, in ten years the Left as we know it will be a niche.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL, KNOWN AS GOODLATTE II, IN THEIR AFTERNOON VOTE TODAY, EVEN THOUGH THE DEMS WON’T LET IT PASS IN THE SENATE. PASSAGE WILL SHOW THAT WE WANT STRONG BORDERS & SECURITY WHILE THE DEMS WANT OPEN BORDERS = CRIME. WIN! 5:39 AM - 27 Jun 2018
Donald J. Trump Verified account@realDonaldTrump 2 hours agoI never pushed the Republicans in the House to vote for the Immigration Bill, either GOODLATTE 1 or 2, because it could never have gotten enough Democrats as long as there is the 60 vote threshold. I released many prior to the vote knowing we need more Republicans to win in Nov.

In the US you can go to A&E with a bad cut and leave with a $10,000 bill. I can't comprehend how they aren't on the streets everyday surrounding government buildings with all the things Trump has added to that nonsense. He's not. He's putting Saudi Arabia in a more controlling position over the US. A good decision would be supporting the move away from petroleum reliance on other countries.
RIGOLO wrote: » The Trump administration performance on US-SAUDI developments and relationships has been a major success for this administration in a short time period. Its been very positive to both countries. Its no coincidence that one of Trumps first foreign visits was to Saudi Arabia, there was also a huge trade mission that was part of that visit, shortly after this visit MBS enacted his purge of Saudi corruption , Id have to believe he would only have done this if he had support from US treasury and trump administration, shortly after this we have huge cultural changes in Saudi with cinemas and driving opening up (more freely and rightly so) to Saudi women. And then late this week, the Saudi regime reacts positively to US requests for increased bpd oil production to stymy rising oil prices. All told a very successful 'long term' exchange of events benefiting the citizens of both countries. Once again the mainstream media were so caught up in their 'click bait' coverage , that appeals to the anti-Trump brigade, of anything Trumpian, with their memes of him doing the Saudi sword dance etc, that the MSM missed the big story here. Once again a 'long game' process at work for the Trump admin and Saudi nation. I believe MBS is keen ot bring Saudi in from the cold in terms of cultural changes and westernising his nation, he will need US support todo this , but needs to do it in careful steps. The MSM are not really giving this much coverage other than as I said looking for oppurtunities to poke fun at Trump. I expect the Trump administration (Trumps tweets aside) are ok to ignore (by and large , with a few exceptions) the bulk of the 'jokey' media coverage whilst they get on with the larger tasks of briniging western norms to the most influential nation in that part of the middle east. I think this US-SAUDI story is a great one to follow, dont get bogged down in one event , its been an ongoing story since day one and I expect further developemnts in the next 12 months from both countries. As one analyst put it, we finally have adults in the Whitehouse. And no Im not ignoring the war in Yemen that can be part of the US-Saudi discussion if you wish, its been going on nearly 4 years now, 4 years , and Trumps in power for less than 2 of those.

I welcome them. Yes folks , you read that correctly I welcome them. Liberals should listen with open ears more often to Trump administration supporters. Many of us have regularly and frequently stated the DNC needs to freshen up, get rid of hte old HRC brigade and bring in a new breed to energise their base and more importantly capture the moderate middle of the road. That advice is generally ignored and shouted down. Anyways , many in the DNC have been trying to do this regime change since 2016, they tried to oust Nancy and elect a progressive DNC chairman but the DNC base went back to Nancy and Tom Perez, at the time I saw that as a backward step. Why stick with the same tam with the same strategy that lost out to a 'reality TV star (wink) . The changes may be too little and too late to affect the mid-terms. If this sort of DNC re-energising continues into 2019 thought then the GOP may indeed worry come 2020. The sooner the Democrats realise they are in fact one of Trumps greatest assests, rolling out Nancy and Maxim and the same strategy is playing into Trumps hands and just feeds him ammo. Thankfully i dont see hte Dems gettign their act together in a cohesive way by Novemeber, the jury is out if they will get it together by 2020, but I welcome it if they do, Ive no issues with the challenge.
