IcabodThe Trump Presidency : Year II
At the gym I spend a half hour on the treadmill. There is a band of screens with FOX, CBS, CNN, etc. it's educational to amazing to watch the differences. You'd expect the same story would start the broadcast. Nope, FOX is hard news will others have lots of soft core stories. Even when they are on the same topic, the emphasis is on different sides. The summit is on. MSNBC had Trump "trying to salvage" it. My prediction is after the summit, MSNBC will claim that it was a failure as NK didn't do this or that. Then blame the President for not making it happen.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

*Statement by the President *
The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow. They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country. The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better. These fans are still invited to the White House to be part of a different type of ceremony one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem. I will be there at 3:00 p.m. with the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Chorus to celebrate America.

Trump says Philadelphia Eagles won't attend White House ceremony amid national anthem disputePresident Trump announced Monday the Philadelphia Eagles will not visit the White House this week to celebrate the team's Super Bowl win amid the national anthem dispute.
Trump, in a statement, said the team is "unable" to visit the ceremony because they don't agree with his belief that NFL players should "proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country."
The Eagles, who won Super Bowl LII in February, apparently wanted to send a smaller group of players — as a handful did not plan to attend — but Trump seemingly uninvited the entire team.
Players Brandon Graham, Malcolm Jenkins, Chris Long and Torrey Smith previously said they would not attend the event.
A group of 1,000 fans, however, are still invited to attend a "different type" of event, one which Trump said "will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem."
Trump in September 2017 rescinded the Golden State Warriors' invitation to visit the White House after they won the NBA championship because Stephen Curry was "hesitating," while several players from the New England Patriots, who won Super Bowl LI, skipped the traditional visit.
The ceremony to "celebrate America" is scheduled to take place at the White House Tuesday at 3 p.m.

parabellumVery good, and in the comments on the Foxnews site, someone points out that these visits began under Nixon. Sports teams being invited to the White House used to be considered a tremendous honor, but now, the winning teams
expect the invitation as if they deserve it, are owed it, and many of these people now have politicized this practice and essentially ruined it.
June 04, 2018, 07:33 PM
StramboVery cool he made sure the fans knew they were still invited! Yup, the teams are making this political, don't start none won't be none...

Some of them wanted to go, but the owner decided he was only sending a few. He's a liberal from Hollywood, so it isn't shocking.

Trump has to be the world's greatest
troll now at this point. Guy just can't stop fucking with people.
June 04, 2018, 09:04 PM
AckksHe may have been trolling them, but I think it was really smart on his part. Lurie was playing games and only allowing a few players to go. The talking point would have been something about players not wanting to go, but he doesn't put up with idiots.

FBI Director of Counterintelligence E.W. “Bill” Priestap, FBI Head of National Security Division, Michael Steinbach, and the former head of the FBI National Security Division, John Giacalone, are all scheduled to testify to congress this month.
The three FBI officials will be testifying to a joint congressional committee of the Judiciary and House Oversight members. The joint committee was formed by Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy. The first testimony is tomorrow; and FBI Director of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap will go first. This will be Priestap’s first congressional testimony. Unfortunately, the testimony will be behind closed doors.

No, they will be
lying to a joint congressional committee. Every word they say will be false.
If they said "Good morning" to me, I'd have to chack my watch and take a look out of the window to make sure it's not nighttime.
