"Swan off"? I wouldn't call going to Egypt and Afghanistan "swanning off" :D
Two of the most dangerous places on Earth I woulda thought.

What term should we use in the circumstances then?
Nikking off
Buzzing off
Shagging off
P1ssing off
####ing off
Naffing off?

I also have this hunch that she might have a security detail, no?

I've asked you before to refrain from the use of technical jargon. Please adhere to your previous agreement :)
 
Hooray, they have finally got him, the elusive Trump has finally been caught out.

Or is it just another paper filling exercise?

Just read the article. Same problem as always. Everyone knows Trump's as crocked as a dog's hind leg so they jump on everything. Trump's a smart cookie, corrupt as hell, but you gotta get your ducks in a row. Remember the famous line from All the President's Men "you've done worse than that, you made them feel sorry for him, I didn't think that was possible. In a conspiracy like this, you build from the outer edges and go step by step. If you shoot too high and miss, everybody feels more secure. You've put the investigation back months."

Trump and Kim Jong-un to hold second summit in February: White House

Washington: US President Donald Trump will meet with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, in late February, the White House announced Friday, local time, continuing a high-level diplomatic dialogue that has eased tensions but shown little progress in eliminating the North's nuclear arsenal.

The announcement came after Trump met for 90 minutes in the Oval Office with Kim Yong-chol, the former North Korean intelligence chief who has acted as the chief nuclear negotiator for Kim.

The White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said the date and the location of the meeting would be announced later, suggesting that the two sides were still haggling over the site or other logistical details. Vietnam, Thailand and Hawaii have all been mentioned as potential sites.

The very fact that Trump is agreeing to a second summit with Kim, after North Korea's failure to begin denuclearization after their first meeting in Singapore in June, is a sign of how quickly the President has backed away from his initial insistence on fast action by Pyongyang.

The first step the North Koreans were expected to take after the June meeting was a detailed inventory of their nuclear assets. That was to include the number of weapons they have produced — variously estimated at 20 to 60 — the locations of those weapons, any nuclear materials used to produce new weapons, and a detailed list of their missiles and missile launchers.

The United States wanted to use the list to truth-test the North, comparing it to what US intelligence agencies have gathered over the past 30 years. But the North Koreans have complained to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other visiting Americans that the inventory would amount to a targeting list, telling the US what to attack should Trump ever order a pre-emptive strike.

For months, that issue produced a stalemate in diplomatic talks, along with insistence from the US that major steps toward denuclearization would have to precede any initial lifting of sanctions.

But in November, Vice President Mike Pence began to loosen the conditions, telling NBC News that North Korea did not have to turn over its inventory to secure a second meeting with Trump. At the time, Pence seemed to acknowledge that the Singapore meeting had resulted in agreements so vague that they allowed the North to drag its feet.

"I think it will be absolutely imperative in this next summit that we come away with a plan for identifying all of the weapons in question, identifying all the development sites, allowing for inspections of the sites and the plan for dismantling nuclear weapons," Pence said, noting that it was time to "see results".

This month, Kim spent three days in Beijing, where President Xi Jinping of China and his wife, Peng Liyuan, hosted a dinner for Kim and his wife, Ri Sol Ju. The visit coincided with what is believed to be Kim's 35th birthday, though North Korea has never confirmed that date.

During previous visits to China by Kim, Trump has complained that Xi was encouraging the North Korean leader to drive a hard bargain with the United States over his nuclear weapons.
 
For a person who hates Fairfax with a passion, you certainly read a lot of it. You a VIP member or something Homer?
No it is the only one I can read, without subscribing. :D

That and the West Australian.:xyxthumbs

Also to be accurate I hate all of them with a passion, because they are full of opinions and very little news.
If I want opinions, I can get them on here.

Aaah you may not realise inconveniently that Trump and Republicans (separately) have already swan-ed off during the shut down already on the same trip!

Also 1st time ever that security has been breached (by Trump) in this manner for any such trip.

Or skiving off? I wonder which description would most suit the 800,000 government employees who can't pay the electricity bill or the mortgage. Because of Democrat grandstanding. Or do the Dems just consider these people to be 'deplorables' :unsure:

Commonsense tells me it's Trump that they'd be unhappy with.

He's the one who shut down the government after all and refuses to re-open it.

Heard from an interviewer, and this could be just one of those "conspiracy theory" stuff but it makes a lot of sense to me...

The shutdown is both sides, particularly the Republican's, way of snuffing out public service. Reducing the work force. Cutting services from the plebs and just blame each other for it.

See, in not paying people for work... most Americans just doesn't have the savings to work for long without getting paid.

So they'll quit.

When they quit, the gov't doesn't need to rehire or replace most of those places. So the budget on gov't spending, essential services etc., are cut.

Not to mention all the looting, passing of laws and weakening regulation that's taking place while all attention are on the shutdown and public blaming.

I have no idea how it works, but in the U.S "doesn't, what the President says goes"?

If not a lot of the movies will lose a lot of cred.lol
They wont be able to do "the presidents bodygaurd takes a bullet" $hit anymore.
All that would happen in the movies would be, " who gives a $hit, shoot him he is just another muppet".
Jeez this is great fun, everyone applying Australian beliefs, to U.S heads. lol
