You gentlemen really made this incorrigibly lazy mod work hard to find any reference to this alleged incident.
A search on Trump | トランプ and carp - koi | 鯉 turned up nada in the J-mainstream media.
The full event:

Frankly, I don't know what is the proper etiquette for feeding koi in such a formal setting, never having been in the situation myself.
Perhaps dumping the fish food at the end instead of a symbolic spoon feeding might be perceived as a bit gauche,
but no one would be offended as that would be rude towards the guest.
Most who comment seem puzzled by the uproar overseas.

The President has to sign off on it, which is a 'sure thing' by all indications. Even if he doesn't, within 5 days, if the President hasn't given it the go ahead, it will be available. So it's countdown time.
Will to interesting to see if the contents cause a big bang or a little fart.The U.S. House Intelligence Committee voted along party lines on Monday to release a classified memo that Republicans say shows anti-Trump bias by the FBI and the Justice Department in seeking a warrant to conduct an intelligence eavesdropping operation.
Looks like it. Shapiro assesses the memo and concludes that if it is factual and if no information comes up that adds to or contradicts the memo and the evidence it summarizes this is very very damning.Mr. Perfect wrote:As far as political scandals this is probably a 10 out of 10. No dead bodies but corruption at the highest levels of government. The Democrats literally paid for a government investigation of a political opponent and got it. This is indeed KGB level activity.
I don't want the hear anything about both sides do it.
obama is in league with Joseph Stalin rather than Richard NIxon, his IRS and FBI were used for political recrimination.
People should go to jail. The FBI is compromised.
Any Democrat defending this is a threat to rule of law and Democracy itself.
Yup.Parodite wrote: The democrats are hanging themselves already why stop them and let their euthanasia do its own work.
Something tells me this is well worn practice. There is literally no comparison to the Republican Party. Republicans overall are decent law abiding people who just don't think about doing stuff like this. Democrats/secular left don't believe in morality and will do whatever they can get away with to achieve their goals, including corruption and criminality.NapLajoieonSteroids wrote:They used the exact same playbook they used on President Nixon.
Start by attaching a previous scandal to him.
-President Johnson's Pentagon Papers somehow becomes Richard Nixon's fault. Carter Page's 3 year old suspicious activities and old FISAs suddenly count against Trump.
-The media and the FBI start coordinating, Hoover man Mark Felt acts a a liaison to young Washington Post reporters to leak anything and everything of embarrassment to Nixon. Christopher Steele, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Sally Yates and others begin leaking and priming friendly reporters and others by leaking information which could embarrass Trump and frame him in as poor a light as possible.
The difference thus far:
-Pressure Nixon, a man with certain character deficiencies, in making mistakes and bury him with them- obstruction of justice being the attractive charge.
Obviously, they've been trying to do this last part with Trump but he has remained a step ahead thus far.
I hope they nail them to the wall on this.Mr. Perfect wrote:What we are seeing is for the first time in history the government investigated/surveilled an opposition candidate/campaign based on no evidence/tampered evidence, possibly lying to the court to get warrants.
This is far worse than Watergate. This is Stalinist tactics.

Foreign gov't hire FusionGPS to create newstories and dominate a nation's media. They are literally a propaganda wing; and everyone in DC is in bed with them.
At the very least, the whole episode exposes how vulnerable the FBI is to domestic and privately funded propaganda-intelligence operations.
If they can't stop FusionGPS, how are they supposed to handle Russian and Chinese and British and Israeli and and and....intelligence agencies from making mince-meat of the nation?
Something tells me those that the cabal in charge of these things did know better and it played out almost exactly as they hoped.
But that last part, "without the Steele dossier information", could that not refer to investigations by Steele into Carter Page before he joined the Trump team and before any DNC FusionGPS got involved, or refer to those "unrelated matters" even earlier?While the FISA application relied on Steele's past record of credible reporting on other unrelated matters, it ignored or concealed his anti-Trump financial and ideological motivations. Furthermore, Deputy Director McCabe testified before the Committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information.
