Apparently the people at NATO are "freaking out" about the Trump visit next week.

"NATO is scrambling to tailor its upcoming meeting to avoid taxing President Donald Trump’s notoriously short attention span. The alliance is telling heads of state to limit talks to two to four minutes at a time during the discussion"

“It’s like they’re preparing to deal with a child — someone with a short attention span and mood who has no knowledge of NATO, no interest in in-depth policy issues, nothing,”

I find myself saying Vuck three to four times a day, out loud, when reading something about Trhmp and I rarely curse.

This is just one of those. I feel like I don't even know how to respond to this stuff anymore. On one hand things like this could be fabricated, on the other they ring 100% authentic it would be irresponsible not to believe it. So I just get saying F.

Ok so the press was obviously backed up today by the threats. They took it easy on Spice. Very easy.

The WH is obviously taking a new approach too. Stonewall everyone.

Even protesting at town halls has become an area of retribution. If you say too much too loudly, you lose your job...or worse. What are we supposed to do when protests are no longer an option?

Apparently it's also ok for the President to make threats that stop people investigating him and then refuse to comment further.

It's also ok for the recused Attorney General to be unrecused whenever the **** he feels like it and it's ok to demand loyalty from impartial positions.

And none of this will ever matter to his voters, as long as Trump keeps promising to go after them last.

China is part of the good guesses; at least it's in the general vicinity. I mean, look at some of those dots, ffs.

Lestat, don't get the impression I disagree with any of your GOP post. I just felt like saying a bunch of ****.

Related, do we have indication that Russia was directly involved with any of the GOP elections, or was that effect all collateral?

Yeah, but you'd get the general vicinity correct.

With the NK question, if somebody picked Taiwan or Japan or the Philippines I'd say, ok, fine, I get it. But people were picking Iran and what not. Good god.

You mean the primary? This was pretty awesome. Sputnik News so yes on some level fake news sites from Russia were attacking Trump's opponents during the primary.

Trolling for Trump: How Russia Is Trying to Destroy Our Democracy

The problem with removing trump is that you might get someone competent instead that actually can get stuff done. The less that gets done the better, and he seems to be an expert at getting nothing done.

At the same time if he gets to e.g build the dumb wall, that would be a huge downside.

So idk what to think.

Its also the problem that as more time passes his incompetency will be more and more visible and he might need a war to make up for it.

President Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State, officials said

Couple of other thoughts...

I'd like to know what Trump really has planned for this international trip. Was it set up for a while or is it spontaneous? Wish there was something that could be done against Trump while he's gone. Or maybe some traps waiting for when he gets back.

We're running out of US loyalists at an alarming rate. It feels like there's a point of no return coming, sooner rather than later. Is it possible that even 2 full years of this administration will be enough to reach it? Trump is running around extremely paranoid right now, which is very bad for national security. If there is any lesson he learned from last week's mess, it's to step up his aspirations (of world domination?) and be more quiet about it from now on. Not a nice combination.

Whatever agencies left with integrity, like the FBI maybe, are probably feeling this sense of urgency. IDK what options they think they have, but they could be moving quickly right now. I have daydreams of flipped Republicans trying to save their own skins, and being confidential informants. Recordings implicating Trump in all sorts of evil stuff would be such sweet justice.

Definitely feels like we're in a good bad TV show.

The people who choose South Korea are the ones I can't understand. I mean, let's workshop this for a second.

“This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”

lmao

Yep... Trump’s extreme hubris just made his Russia problem much worse

Quote:
The details of what exactly Trump discussed with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak on Wednesday are sketchy, and The Washington Post is withholding some of them for national security reasons. But according to the officials, Trump relayed information from an intelligence-sharing arrangement that is so sensitive that some details aren't even shared with U.S. allies or broadly within the U.S. government. Trump cited the specifics of an ISIS plot and, most problematically, named the city in the Islamic State's territory where the U.S.' partner detected the threat.
