half manufactueasure of surpris sarah huckabee sanders at the press briefing walked back the president s commitment from last night saying there would not be a summit until north korea met a bunch of provable preconditions. interestingly, though, after she said that at the press briefing some unnamed white house official clarified that, even though sarah huckabee sanders might have tried to take back the president s saying yes, her takeback was itself now being taken back. quote, the invitation has been extended and accepted, and that stands, despite what the press secretary said about it not standing. imagine that you worked in the federal government. you are a highly trained person, a subject matter expert. your job is national security and foreign policy, your job is the threat of nuclear annihilation. stuff like that. that s your job. and this is how major decisions on this subject are really being made now in realtime. would you stay in that job?
