President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Evidence that Mueller killed them is about on par with evidence the NRA did.

 

You sprained your shoulder reaching for that one.

 

Saying either killed them is a bit strong, but there is no question the NRA played a larger role.

 

I'm getting old. Gotta work on my flexibility.

 

You'd make a terrible lawyer!

 

Is there a problem with that?

 

Nope. Just an observation. School of 3,200 people. I keep seeing the same kid. That's how herd journalism works, I guess.

 

Saw a couple ROTC kids in a tweet earlier and the Gonzalez girl was getting some run earlier, but this kid has future Democratic representative written all over him.

And, of course, it's not like the national media is going to waste time looking for other kids once they know who's readily available.

 

Just like a crime victim to play it for all it’s worth.

 

More power to him. Seems like he's got a bright future. Hopefully he doesn't become a bitter old racist who can't write a compound sentence.

 

Are you ready for some football?



A Secret Service agent tackled a Chinese security official over the nuclear football when Trump visited China

During President Donald Trump's visit to Beijing last November, a US Secret Service agent reportedly tackled a Chinese security official after attempts to block the movement of the "nuclear football."

The nuclear football, officially known as the "president's emergency satchel," is a black leather briefcase that allows the US president to authorize a nuclear strike while away from a command center. It is carried by a military aide and is supposed to be in close proximity to the president at all times.

But according to a report from Axios, when Trump met with President Xi Jinping in Beijing's Great Hall of the People, Chinese security blocked the entry of the aide carrying the nuclear football.

A US official quickly informed Trump's Chief of Staff John Kelly who "rushed over" and told US officials, "We're moving in."

As the US delegation started moving into the hall, a Chinese security official "grabbed Kelly" who pushed away the man's hand, according to Axios. It was then that a US Secret Service agent tackled the security official to the ground.

The briefcase was reportedly never touched by a foreign official, but the head of the Chinese security head later apologized about the incident.
