Intel docs in full view of diners......?!?!?!?!?

[Zoonart]

Trump and Abe perused classified materials as Flynn and Bannon shoulder surfed using their cellphones/CAMERAS! to shed light.
WTFF?? and the band, literally, played on? Diners around the room craning their necks? How many waiters have been "vetted" to work these dinners?
What planet am I on?

"On Saturday evening, as the two men walked through Mar-a-Lago's ornate wrought-iron doors on their way to dinner, neither responded to questions about the launch from reporters.
Swanning through the club's living room and main dining area alongside Abe, Trump was -- as is now typical -- swarmed with paying members, who now view dinner at the club as an opportunity for a few seconds of face time with the new President.
But as he sat down for the planned working dinner with Abe, whose country is well within range of North Korea's missiles, it was clear his counterpart felt it necessary to respond to the test. The launch occurred just before 8 a.m. on Sunday morning in Japan.
Trump'sm National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and chief strategist Steve Bannon left their seats to huddle closer to Trump as documents were produced and phone calls were placed to officials in Washington and Tokyo.
The patio was lit only with candles and moonlight, so aides used the camera lights on their phones to help the stone-faced Trup and Abe read through the documents."

1. as far as I can tell, news outlets have missed this important aspect. IMHO. It needs to be

made an issue.


Tweeters--do you work!
Post on FB --get it on social media

4. If t his had been Obama or Hillary

This would be "Hair On Fire" stuff!

2. What can go wrong?

3. Regarding weightier issues?

But even as he confronted one of the gravest matters of his office, Trump nonetheless found it impossible to resist dropping in on a nearby wedding reception, already underway in his treasured Grand Ballroom. Trump designed and built the space himself after purchasing Mar-a-Lago in the 1980s.

"I saw them out on the lawn today," Trump said of the bride and groom, who were standing nearby. "I said to the Prime Minister of Japan, I said, 'C'mon Shinzo, let's go over and say hello.' "

"They've been members of this club for a long time," Trump said of the newlyweds. "They've paid me a fortune."

5. Just...

Help me JEEBUS!

[mercuryblues]

8. all it takes

"They've paid me a fortune." is all it takes to get trump to do something for you.

[flygal]

6. "I've known this couple a long time, they've paid me a fortune"

So, basically, anyone who is rich could never be a security threat. Oh lord.

[pinboy3niner]

7. No security threat--not if they value their membership

They could end up on double secret probation!

[mercuryblues]

9. LOL

We picked up on the same line, only different aspects.

10. I said after his first full week and the administration referred to it as the Winter White House

this is going to be an on going $3 million junket to Florida to make sure his restaurants and golf course are full every weekend. This guy is going to bleed this nation dry. When the whole family went there for Thanksgiving, it was reported that they had a caravan of 45 secret service vehicles from Trump Tower to the airport in New York, and I'd imagine as many vehicles once they landed in Florida.

Also this past weekend when he and the PM from Japan left for Florida from Joint Base Andrews (JBA), Melania flew in from New York to meet him at JBA and then they all flew together to Florida. If this had been Michelle Obama, we'd be hearing all about how much they were costing the taxpayers, their taking family members with them on trips, and how President Obama did nothing but played golf. It should be apparent to all now, that the functional White House of President Barack Obama did more in their sleep than Trump's dysfunctional White House does in a week.

11. Totally Agree!

This is a travesty of a mockery of a sham, as the Pythons used to say.

[GallopingGhost]

12. But Hillary Clinton

endangered national security.

[Orsino]

13. Part-time president called it the Winter White House...

...but it seems clear he thinks his weekends are sacrosanct. If he is capable of focusing on a crisis, it's going to have to wait for Monday, after Morning Joe.
