Trump sure know how to waste resources. I am sure senators can get to know about the situation in North Korea by reading the news. There is no necessity to gather all the senators for a briefing, unless Trump is going to go...

Term limits for Senate

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 26 Sep 09
