Did anybody else think the bus trip was demeaning and a security risk to boot?

I suppose those fat ****s could have walked...

18. Yes it was all over the news today. The entire senate was forced to go to the White House for a briefing that could have very easily been done the other way around. It was a ridiculous and presumably risky and unsafe venture -- moving all of the senators to listen to something that could have been presented to them.

It was in a secure room- which the Senate building is not, you dumb ****ing retards.

Also- no one was 'forced' to go. **** I hate these whining fools.

3. Yes. They got loaded onto a bus like a bunch of 2nd graders on their way to a field trip at the zoo. Did they have to wear name tags and line up with their partners, too? Were they told to sit still on the bus and not yell or throw things or tease the other senators? Jeez... Whether it was also a security risk depends on whether the bus was adequately guarded by police (or SS, or whoever), but it was really bizarre. I'd have been tempted to say **** the bus, I'm taking a cab.

4. Yes... didn't one of the senators call it a "dog and pony show"? And they didn't even receive any crucial or even new information. Ridiculous. They should boycott if he tries this crap again.
:whatever:

6. Exactly what I thought

Bernie didn't go. Didn't want to be "part of a photo op."

11. heck, YEAH!

king trump ordered his subjects to come, & they ~mostly ~ did. Very few remember they are members of an equal branch of OUR government, THE checks and balances of the 'executive' branch. & YEAH, a security risk.
This was a disgusting show by all involved.

Can you imagine the hate the DUmp would have shown if even one Republican Senator refused to go to a barry briefing?

19. It's a practice run for something sinister

That's what my gut tells me. Bernie was right to avoid the field trip. The next time might not be so uneventful.

25. Certainly demeaning.

I can't think of any other reason why he would do this other than to humiliate them and make them feel impotent.

This DUmmie is on to our master plan.  Democrats get on this Fung Wah bus and Republicans on the other bus.  See you at the White House.  :-)

You would have to be from New England to get the reference.

C'mon, guys/gals! Keep your narratives straight! If you're going to be whining about, "The entire senate was forced to go to the White House ...," don't bring up a dude who refused to attend!

The busing was just efficient transportation, not adding nearly 100 cars to WashDC traffic and parking headaches. If riding in a bus is so @#$% demeaning, why do D pols try to jam it down ordinary people's throats?!

As d508 pointed out, the WH room was secure, a place where classified info could be discussed. Not that Progs care about security, as The CHILL and her Prog supporters demonstrated. If anything, DU-folk are POed that the possibilities of agendized selective leaking was reduced.

Had Trump not invited them to the WH for a secured briefing the DUmmies would have bitched about the democrats not being informed on North Korea.  :whatever:

I guess the more environmentally friendly thing to have done is to have each of the senators take a private stretch limousine to the White House.

And if bus transport hadn't been arranged Progs would whinge about that.

I don't think DU-folk and like-minded Petty Progs realize that their d'ed if he does, d'ed if he doesn't strategy gives Trump the freedom to do exactly what he thinks is right, and Trump is smart enough to realize and do that.

The bad news is that most on our side seem not to realize this.

Look Dummies... it is called mass transit and they were doing that to combat globull warming. Beats 100 limos adding pollution and using gas. 

You should be happy!
