Rude Pundit does it again
That right there is the motherfucking president of the motherfucked United States of America, seated and grinning while grim pandemonium goes on around him. And he's at a dinner at his golf resort in Florida, where he spent the weekend golfing. The dinner is for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan, who also golfed with the president, who happens to be a persimmon-topped wrecking ball named Donald Trump.
At dinner, the president and the PM were enjoying a salad. More precisely, they were enjoying "Mr. Trump's Wedge Salad," which is a chunk of iceberg lettuce coated in blue cheese dressing, bacon, and more blue cheese. Essentially, it's just edible plastic conveying cheese and bacon and cream to your bloodstream. Then, oh, the inconveniences of being president, North Korea tested an intermediate-range ballistic missile that landed in the Sea of Japan. It's kind of a big fucking deal because, see, North Korea has nukes and a mad leader with no checks on his madness, and Japan would be right in the crosshairs of any attack. Goddamnit, what about the main course?
So everyone leapt into action to find out more and figure out how to respond to a direct provocation. That's the flurry of activity you see up there. It's not, by the way, an effort to move the conversation to a more secure location. Oh, no, that'd interrupt dinner, and there was some goddamned meat on the way. Thus, in the middle of the dining area at a big golf club with tons of people watching, everyone with Trump and Abe started to read classified documents and talk about classified information. Even more fucked up was that the room was dimly lit so they used their goddamn cell phone flashlights to read the, let's say it again, classified information. Their phones. Pointed at the documents. Their easily-hackable phones. In the room where everything was being discussed. In front of dozens of civilians, many of whom were snapping photos of the events. As long as you paid your expensive dues, you could be there in that room. So, really, who the hell knows what agents of foreign governments could have been present?
This isn't about the level of transparency or whatever else you wanna make it about. Like so many things with Republicans, it's about the hypocrisy. Hillary Clinton's private email server was supposed to essentially allow ISIS to enter the country freely and kill all our dogs and enslave our wives. But here are seemingly multiple violations of any kind of safety protocols when it comes to dealing with classified material.

Just infuriating to the max.
Thanks for the laugh. I needed that! 
It's surprising they all didn't have buckets of KFC sitting in front of them! 
On January 20; chaos has ensued.
I was reminded of President Obama at the Washington Correspondents Dinner just before the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. He gave no hint of the drama to come. This is national security and his job was to keep this country safe. That should be Trump's commitment, too, but he has no clue. It's all about him and getting attention. The title of this entry is "Photos of Trump That Assure Us That We're All Gonna Die." This is more than offensive, it's terrifying... 
I didn't remember because I didn't think for a moment that someone could look that stupid without some chemical assistance.
Narcissistic supply.
Chas all around him and he grins for a picture. FFS
Ok, now I really have a headache.
that nickname has been referenced and used here on DU since at least as far back as June of 2016! http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027925799

I'd used it and thought I came up with it myself when I first did, but probably heard it somewhere. I know I've seen it here a lot since and my search tells me it was going on well before. Anyhow, not earth-shattering info or anything, just thought it was interesting to note that DUers have been on it. 
Truth to power!
That has to be the best description for bacon that I have ever heard!
"Pixie dust of the food group"!
that Vlad prolly gets the dish straight from the WH. No need for crude spying methods when you have a direct line to the presiduncy.
I have to laugh cause the rest is so scary.
Making a big, powerful impression on everyone is the important thing, right? Very, very impressive. Bigly.
