Abbreviated Pundit Round-up: 100 days of Meh and Chaos

“80 sets of invisible eyes rolling”: senators unimpressed by White House North Korea brief

Wednesday afternoon, nearly the entire membership of the US Senate packed into a bus and headed to the White House grounds for an unprecedented classified briefing from top Trump administration officials on North Korea policy. Such a huge meeting, on such a volatile topic, had people wondering — was the United States about to announce some risky new policy on North Korea? Perhaps some kind of scary military escalation, or even a preemptive strike on a nuclear-armed power?

Nope. According to senators who attended the briefing, it was a whole lot of nothing.

It’s actually all part of the long con Trump is pulling on his voters. So are health care amendments and resuscitation, and the bogus one page tax plan.  Republicans can’t govern and Trump has no idea what he’s doing. They’ll catch on eventually.

For a POTUS obsessed w/ asserting dominance/projecting strength, it's striking how many fights w/ "the swamp" Trump has lost in 1st 100 days
