Threatens North-Korea with military action, proceeds to cut visit in South-Korea short due to "fatigue" 

At least have a longer sitdown with the South-Korean top leadership after going over there and aggravating North Korea with potential military action.

"Just threatened the other half of Korea with military action, now if you'll excuse me I'm tired and must go"

Such low energy, sad!

 
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson cut short his recent visit with South Korean officials due to "fatigue," the Korea Herald  reported on Friday.

According to the newspaper, the top U.S. diplomat did not have lunch or dinner with South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se and acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn during his visit.

The Korea Herald noted that Tillerson spent several hours meeting with Japanese officials, which included dinner meetings. 

The secretary of State reportedly did hold talks with both South Korean officials regarding the threat posed by North Korea's nuclear program.

Tillerson warned  in remarks Friday that the U.S. "policy of strategic patience" with North Korea is over, saying the Trump administration would not rule out military action. 

"All options are on the table," Tillerson said.

South Korea will likely see a significant change to its leadership in the coming weeks after the Constitutional Court upheld  the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye in March.

The country must now hold a vote on a new leader within 60 days of the ruling.

These people just can't keep Obama's name out of their mouths 

 
Fox News' Sean Hannity didn't say Thursday that former President Barack Obama definitely did drugs with the Hawaii judge who blocked President Donald Trump's travel ban. But Hannity wasn't ruling it out either. 

"By the way, this judge who issued the travel ban ruling is an Obama law school classmate," Hannity said on his radio show, according to a clip surfaced  by the left-wing site Media Matters for America. "Maybe he should have recused himself from the case. Just a, just a maybe. Were they best friends in Hawaii, were they part of the 'Choom Gang,' smoking pot and hanging out? And doing a little weed and maybe even a little bit of blow? It's unbelievable here."

"Choom Gang" is a reference to an apparent group of Obama's friends  in high school who enjoyed smoking pot and coming up with weed-related games. Obama, then known as "Barry," was reportedly renowned for his so-called interceptions where he would sneak in to swipe an extra hit of a joint. (This was later immortalized  on the Comedy Central sketch show "Key & Peele.")

After suggesting Obama and the Hawaii jurist—Judge Derrick Watson, who graduated from Harvard Law School  alongside both the 44th president and Trump's Supreme court nominee Neil Gorsuch—did drugs together, Hannity launched into a popular right-wing conspiracy.

"Now just to put a fine point on this, Obama made a surprise visit to Hawaii just 48 hours before the judge blocked the Trump travel ban," Hannity said in the clip. "Did he see his buddy? Not saying he did, but considering NBC, CNN and every other, you know, abusively biased alt-left, propaganda, destroy-Trump media outlet is into conspiracy these days, I guess nothing is off the table."

Conservative site Independent Journal Review retracted a story  this week that similarly suggested, without evidence, that Obama visited Hawaii not for vacation but to shut down the Trump executive order temporarily banning visitors from six Muslim-majority countries. The theory seemed to have begun  with the site Infowars, a far-right outlet that often trades in conspiracy theories.

It was funny to see how quickly he wanted civility when things turned on him.

I'm waiting for trump to apologize to Obama any minute now after the senate said they couldn't find any wiretap claims

 

[RustyShackleford]

Trump's is a delusional buffoon that would never admit how full of **** he is; some of his supporters see themselves in him, and that is why they love him.

I ain't gonna fight the white man's war.

In Obama, the right has found the boogeyman they couldn't build and sustain with blackface, welfare queens, muslims, thugs, you name it. They're working extra hard to delegitimize 44, even after his presidency. If Reagan is the Jesus of the Conservative mythology, Obama represents their Satan, and they will never, ever let go of that symbolism.

I wouldn't fight for a man who got deferments for "bone spurs" that's for sure

Backing down is not a departure from his usual style. It is his usual style. Trump is not a guy who can be counted on to stand his ground. Often, he crumbles under the slightest pressure.

Dems wonder: Can GOP even pass a budget?

Dems wonder: Can GOP even pass a budget?

The top Democrat on the House Budget Committee is wondering if Republicans can unite to pass a budget this year.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), a former Budget chairman, has said that GOP leaders are poised to “hit our benchmarks” on government funding, with President Trump’s budget proposal, released Thursday, as the first step of that process.

But Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), the ranking member of the panel, said long-standing divisions within the Republican Party — particularly on government spending issues — raise real questions about whether Ryan can rally his troops behind a resolution.


Yarmuth said he has not spoken with Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.), the Budget chairwoman, about the issue. But he sees an increasing likelihood that the Republicans will have to fall back on current levels to dictate the spending debate this year.

That would be an embarrassing setback for Ryan and the Republicans, who want to prove their ability to govern effectively under their first united government in over a decade.

“They’re going to have a hard time getting a budget done. And I have no idea where she is,” Yarmuth said, referring to Black. “[But] they may basically do a continuation budget with reconciliation instructions and not even have a markup.
“I think that’s a distinct possibility.”

Complicating the equation for Ryan and the Republicans, Trump on Thursday released a 2018 budget blueprint that proposes steep cuts to domestic programs — including many championed by Capitol Hill Republicans — but lays off Social Security, Medicare and other entitlement programs that have long been on the chopping block under the GOP budgets championed by both Ryan and former Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), who’s now Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services.

Yarmuth said the tensions between Trump and congressional Republicans on spending issues will make it only that much tougher for Ryan to thread the needle and pass a budget this year.

“That would be a reflection of a disagreement between the Republicans in Congress and the White House,” he said.

The comments came as Yarmuth and other rural-state Democrats are sounding off against Trump’s budget outline, warning that the cuts the White House has proposed would devastate agricultural regions disproportionately. Ironically, they note, those are the same regions where voters flocked to Trump’s promise of reviving jobs.

“Donald Trump spoke to the people that I represent when he talked about, ’I’m going to bring your jobs home,’” Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) told reporters in the Capitol Friday.

“[But] the promises that Donald Trump made on the campaign trail are very different from what President Trump is delivering now. And we saw that with his budget.”

Rep. Collin Peterson, senior Democrat on the Agriculture Committee who represents a rural Minnesota district, was particularly critical of Trump’s budget proposal to cut the Agriculture Department by 21 percent. He said those cuts would devastate farms and lead to a spike in the price of food that would hurt every consumer in the country.

“I don’t know that the administration so much wanted to go after certain things as that they just didn’t understand what they were doing,” he said.

Peterson said he’s talking to Republicans on the Agriculture Committee, who support almost none of the cuts to the department Trump has proposed.

“They mostly are just kind of ignoring this, and they’re just trying to run away from it in other cases,” Peterson sai

Indeed, even many Republicans are publicly distancing themselves from Trump’s proposal. Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), the former Appropriations Committee chairman, characterized the White House cuts as “draconian, careless and counterproductive.”

Ryan, for his part, has largely steered clear of the debate over Trump’s cuts. The Speaker has hailed the increased military spending in Trump’s proposal, but has so far declined to weigh in on the cuts to domestic programs and Trump’s decision to leave the entitlements intact.

“This is a long, ongoing process,” he said Thursday. “This is the very beginning.”

One thing they missed about his electric personality on the campaign trail is that he takes the path of least resistance.
