In “Shocking” Move, Trump Gives Highly Classified ISIS Intel To Russians

So a couple of days ago we explained, by way of a short story about Dresden ca. 1989, why it's a really - really - bad idea for Donald Trump to be commiserating with the Kremlin (well, first of all it's treason, but even above and beyond that). You're encouraged to read the entire post, but for those who missed it, here's a quick recap: Everyone loves to make jokes about the ridiculous images you can find on Google of Putin firing guns, riding horses shirtless in the wilderness, body slamming

  1. …..what’s it gonna take for action to remove him is taken, seriously? Do people need to die for this moron to be removed? Quit making excuses, like I heard this one…. “the President can de-classify classified information” – NOT in the manner he did! There are procedures and they do not include it is ok for him to de-classify while just kicking it with his Russian friends, bragging about crap!

  2. Shocking? Nah, typical cluelessness by our douchebag-in-chief.
    Who’s running the pool for when he’s impeached?

      1. The house Republicans are too far up Trump’s a$$ to impeach him. Just like with Nixon, it will have to come from the voters. They will have to make it VERY clear that republicans that continue to ignore the Donald’s treasonous actions will be out of a job the first chance the voters get.

        Sadly, half of America is too ignorant to even understand what the Donald is doing to America. America seems able to withstand an inhumane amount of global humiliation.

  3. Republicans are going to become more convinced with each of his F ups and the voters are doing a great job of telling them already and with more of his F ups, the more voters are piling it on. Another big factor, I would estimate a lot less than half are too ignorant – clearly a majority of all voters were against him more than they were for her and once again, the ones who were against him then are even more against him now and some of those that just held their nose and voted for him were never for him at all. This will even get to be more fun when Comey testifies. The world is keenly aware we hate Trump and at this point they are starting to feel sorry for us. I hate that too! Donnie doofus cannot stand that he is not worshiped and is challenged every day — never had to deal with being told NO and is just plain stupid to sum it up…..he will collapse under the pressure. Then we will have to make sure Pense does a much better job. sigh….

  4. Trump doing exactly what individual of his education, training, demonstrated intellectual, and moral caliber and background is expected to do when suddenly thrust in the position he’s in – one catastrophic mistake after another. Get over it. His lack of appropriate training and experience for being President of a nation was obvious since before he announced he would run for President. Only the deliriously hopeful and pathetically uninformed ever thought this might turn out well.

    However, as a frequent flyer that has had too many delays and too many adherences to obviously incompetent security protocols and their implementation by poorly trained staff at airports and considering the billions of dollars and the trillions of man hours we have wasted on airport security and explosive detection devices – I have to ask why aren’t we safe from laptops or any other methods of carrying explosives in carry-on baggage? Either Homeland Security has been pissing away all those contracts for the detection technology and devices, or there is another agenda behind not taking your laptop on a plane. Clearly, if we can’t detect an explosive in a functioning laptop, we sure as hell aren’t going to detect it in cargo hole baggage either.

    As a frequent flyer and even more so as a tax payer, I call foul. We aren’t getting the security competence that our tax dollars have paid for over and over. It isn’t just Trump’s competence that concerns me, it’s the entire senior political leadership of the country. Who ever thought a $7B televised beauty pageant could produce competent performance based leader selection process – much less a minimal semblance of democracy. As citizens we’re being continually milked by increased taxes that are progressively wasted in greater quantities each year. We’re farmed like cattle by our government (and loaded like cattle by the airline industry) and insulted by the processes and decisions of our government “senior executives” that clearly indicate by their lack of competent performance abilities. You could can find better management and leadership at your local convenience store than our current political leadership – and probably individuals that care more about the betterment of their country those our current political processes produce.

  5. The White House claims that Trump fired Michael Flynn because Flynn lied about discussing Russian sanctions with Kislyak. Trump invites Kislyak to the White House and shares classified intel with him, for no apparent reason, the day after Trump fires Comey because of the Russia investigation. Unbelievable.

  6. Ok, a couple more thoughts. Fritzl, “they” say Flynn was fired for lying to the V President about receiving $ that he says he did not recall…..yeah, sure. Flynn wants immunity for testimony because he knows he will hang for treason if he admits collusion with Russia etc. That’s why he says he will take the 5th. He is corrupt and Trump continues to tell us Flynn is a great man.

    Dugger, there is little I can disagree with in your comment. Absolutely ridiculous and crappy performance for airport security. And yes the personnel who operate the airplanes and direct contact with the flying public are rude and obnoxious. The morons who elected this swamp thing to office did so for separate reasons. One group just wanted things to be changed and be better and get a grip on the waste of tax dollars being spent without getting improved results – thought maybe a non-politician would be the road to fixin’ all that. No thought to one non-politician thrown into a tank of nothing but politicians……a guppy into the pool of sharks. He has no chance of success UNLESS he has a clear head, knowledge of economics, and as any kid in school is judged, to work and play well with others. Uh, Fail.

    The other group walks on their knuckles, burps in public, scratches where it itches, carries a torch to a meeting in the woods, takes whatever he can get his hands on, bullies and beats up the lesser man, did not listen when Aretha spelled R E S P E C T, extreme womanizer and racist….as Trump himself made very clear in words and actions (!) during his campaign. Those are the ones who show up at his rallies and chant his hateful messages while he yells “shut ’em up, get ’em outta here” from his podium under the bright lights, grinning from red ear to red ear. I believe the current count of those people is about 30%.

    So that leaves all the rest to pay more attention to those elected to office – don’t just pull the R lever or the D lever! A better balance in our government is 100% in our hands. When you see and know the head of a company or department, political or private business, is not doing the job right and is therefore wasting our hard earned tax dollars, make it known you expect performance to match their f’n paychecks! We want this mess cleaned up and changed for the better….. that will not just automatically happen especially if the same empty suits stay in power.
