Yes, you do. You're the one making shit up out of whole cloth.

That's just not true. All the way back to the debates, he challenged the sole focus on the Russians. Every time I've heard him talk about it, including this morning on Fox's Sunday news show, he's said "It might be the Russians, it might be the Chinese, it might be someone acting alone."

Then why does he call their assessment "ridiculous" and "laughable (particularly in light of the myriad Russian intrusions in Europe)?" Morever, why doesn't he stand up in support of an investigation to clear the air rather than slinging mud?

It's mind boggling to me that there are still people around like you, that are willing to prostitute themselves in order to make excuses for the assholes that lied us into the Iraq War.

I've been plenty critical of Dubya, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Co. As for what happened behind the scenes at the CIA, you and I will never know.

I think Trump needs to have daily briefings to refresh his memory. It sure seems to get fuzzy on him sometimes....

Donald Trump what's your relationship with Putin? (video from 'ABC News This Week')

After working 31 years in government, 35 if you count my 4 years in the military, I can't begin to tell you how many boring ass meetings I had to sit through where nothing important was discussed or accomplished. And there's always a few assholes that will prolong it because they like to hear themselves talk, or they are trying to impress the boss. If something important comes up where you need to have a meeting to discuss it by all means call one. But having a "same shit, different day" meeting, forget it.

Putting a loudmouthed ignoramus who thinks he already knows everything in charge is bullshit.

And dangerous as hell.

They folded under pressure from the Bush Administration and lied their asses off.

That's all I need to know.

Nowhere near as dangerous as Hillary Clinton would have been.

Until he demands a wrong military strike on another country based on the omission of a tiny key piece of information he missed in a meeting.

Trump is playing a dangerous game with the very well being of this country. He's not taking the job seriously.
